Mirrors? Phishers? Other?
posted Monday, June 02, 2008 - 08:03 PM (#43093)
There are several websites officially associated with Goats.com and the Dumbrella crew, and we eagerly await further developments at places such as TeamForceAlpha (or non-developments at places such as MegaGamerz L33T). However, there are other websites which at first glance appear very much identical to the official Goats.com, but somehow i have my doubts. For examples, there are shatnr.com and hornyspider.com but i am worried they might just be some kind of deceptively sinister masquerade. They appear in search-engine results and could easily be mistaken for the legitimate Goats.com if one weren't closely watching the URLs.

So, my question for Jon or Phillip or any other administrators is: are these actually some kinds of 'phishing' sites? Are they imposters which are merely trying to trick us into divulging our Goats/Dumbrella passwords and account info?

Or are they simply extra domains which have been reserved by Jon or by Dumbrella for other purposes, and merely acting as placeholders while nothing is actually going on 'over there'?

POLL: How easily could you be fooled by a 'look-alike' website?
 
27% (3) I'm a sucker. Take my password and rape my account, please.
 
18% (2) I'm no fool. I can spot a Phisherman from across the lake.
 
18% (2) Infinite Monkeys will eventually create all possible websites; it's just a matter of time until we enter our passwords on ALL of them.
 
18% (2) You are the 100,000th visitor!! Click here to enter your credit card number and claim your prize!
 
18% (2) If it looks like a salami and quacks like a salami, then it is a salami.

Those are my domains, pointed to Goats until whim strikes.

Hell, let's face it, we're not responsible for anything; including the things we say, do, or think. And if you sue us because you think we are? Well, we're not responsible for that either.
