What is forumwhore.com?

November 13, 2007 2:10 PM

Does anybody know what forumwhore.com is used for?

I searched for an answer to what it is and the results make it even more cryptic. I see Amazon redirects and statcounter redirects. When I try and access directly you get message saying "go away"

Very curious indeed.

Well, perhaps the top level is used for the same purpose I keep you-suck.com for - nothing.

Lots of stuff underneath, but I'm not feeling very compelled to put anything on the top level page.

Best answer: It's a proxy service, presumably for when one's IP gets banned from a forum and wants to view/use it anyway.

Witness this link:

http://forumwhore.com/proxy/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000000A/http/www.metafilter.com

MetaFilter will only see the forumwhore server hitting the site.

Ok, for everyone who's wondering, no, you really don't want to look at those photos. I mean sure, the ones in the main folder outside seem innocent enough. . . then you think how bad could the PAIN folder be? You will be scarred for the life of your children's children. Don't go there.

Yeah, I opened a file, saw goatse and closed the tab almost by pure reflex action alone before my brain could process the other stuff.
