Fark and Something Awful have long been alleged rivals of sorts, culminating a Photoshop Contest between the two sites, judged by celebrity Wil Wheaton. Contrary to popular belief, there actually is no real rivalry between Fark.com and Something Awful. This rivalry was propagated mostly as an inside joke by Lowtax, the owner of Something Awful. The joke comes from the fact that Drew and Lowtax are close friends and that Fark.com and Something Awful share about 90% of the same readership, thus making the readers rivals with themselves.

Fark.ru is not an official Russian version of Fark, but rather a Russian version of Fark run by Pravda.ru with Drew's permission. The stories are different and it's not a word-for-word translation of Fark.com, as the links on Fark.ru go to other Russian sites. Drew has been told that it is the #1 website in Russia but there is no way to actually confirm this.
