Hey, if anyone can offer a valid explanation... - GeneralApathy - 10-15-2011
So, I was busy lurking 4chan, and I stumbled upon this.
http://www.gamefallout.com/
Okay, so, at first glance, it's just a game forum, right?
I looked at the member list. Somewhere near 82k. The posts are likely in the hundreds of thousands. Yet...not a single google listing. Now, looking at the members, I'm seeing that they're all using real names, plus they all have relatively the same number of posts and joining date. And they use real photographs. The implied genders of the name and the pictures are different. The conversations are actual, real conversations, not just BUY NIK3 SHOES AIR JORDANS SO GOOD over and over. I can't tell if it's bots, humans, or just being ripped off of some other site.
People are saying bots, mining websites, or even deep web ****. What do you gaize think? o_o

100% Pure Double Virgin Olive Oil Troll Forum
To begin with, there are 14k topic about Skyrim (a game that isn't even out yet) and only ~8k about Morrowind (the greatest game to grace earth and The Elder Scrolls series). By observing this alone, I knew something was suspicious. I lurked a few threads across a few sub-sections, and learned that not only were half of these people ****, but the (implied) men used pictures of women, and the (implied) women used pictures of men (but mostly women). To buffer this even more, I've seen some of those pictures on the internet before; couple that with people 'using their real names' on the internet...and...it has to be a troll forum.
Think of it like the Landover forums:
Trolls posing as 'real people', using names & photos. The behave perfectly normal until bait comes along. Then the trolling begins!

all those **** photos are so typically myspace/facebooky as well.

Yeah, but the thing is anyone who's not part of the original group there gets their account not banned, but simply forgotten from the entire system. Like it was never even there. o.o And the posts made have to be approved by some mod. From what I've seen, I'm not sure anyone on the outside can even get in. Unless...
Also, these are some of the error messages/random carp people get after accessing it when they made an account. Timestamp on the 1st is a bit off, so take it with a bit of salt.

And then, a glorious display of a name-picture mismatch.

weird.
RE: Hey, if anyone can offer a valid explanation... - Munchhead - 10-16-2011
Did a little research, and from what ive heard the website was hacked by some japanese guy and is now dominated by female bots with male names, what doesnt make any sense at all.
Why would you do that?
O, and heres some info about the website: http://www.ip-adress.com/whois/gamefallout.com

LAWL. XD It's gotta be mining or something. Still, the irony...
Just asking though, even though we probably already know what it is, does anyone ever feel...well, kinda eerie when you're browsing? Like you've stumbled upon some vidya utopia, where girls and guys ACTUALLY discuss vidja games. Emphasis on the girls. Plus, the whole SKYNET ROBOTS TERMINATOR AARURUGHGGHH feeling. XD
