'''Shafou.com''' or simply '''Shafou''' was a Chinese [[screamer]] website that was registered in November | '''Shafou.com''' or simply '''Shafou''' was a Chinese [[screamer]] website that was registered in November 11, 2015. Specifically, the website is a possible mirror of [[Killerjo.net]]. | ||
== | ==Content== | ||
When opened, the website displays a close-up image of [[Regan MacNeil]] from [[Wikipedia:The Exorcist(film)|The Exorcist]], accompanied by three amplified screams from [[The Maze]] which repeat every few seconds. The file used to display these contents is named "kjkj.swf," which is identical to the one used in [[killerjo.net]]. Because of this reason, the website is considered to be a mirror of [[killerjo.net]]. | When opened, the website displays a close-up image of [[Regan MacNeil]] from [[Wikipedia:The Exorcist(film)|The Exorcist]], accompanied by three amplified screams from [[The Maze]] which repeat every few seconds.

The website has the meta keyword "突然打开的吓人尖叫网站,整人的吓人网站", which (poorly) translates to: "A scary screaming website that opens suddenly, and tricks people", revealing its purpose. Similarly, the title of the webpage is "吓人的网站" which translates to "Scary website".

Furthermore, it is said that clicking the picture shares the website on the user's Facebook account; however, unless the user is signed in to Facebook, it will lead to the login page instead. The website uses obfuscated Base64 code, making it difficult to determine that it is a screamer. | Furthermore, it is said that clicking the picture shares the website on the user's Facebook account; however, unless the user is signed in to Facebook, it will lead to the login page instead.

In November | In November 2009, the website's content included numerous download links and a search bar. This is the original state of the shafou.com domain. Sometime later in June 2010, the website was replaced with the [[screamer]]. There was also a link to a different website at the bottom of the page: shafou.net - a blog displaying a pictures of a girl and Chinese text. Here you can find a snapshot of February 10, 2016.<ref>'''web.archive.org/web/20160210223453/shafou.net/'''</ref> Currently, this link serves as a redirect to shafou.com. | ||
Later, on May | Later, on May 5, the website updated with a link above the screamer that led the user to a blog which was written by the creator himself, stating that someone asked him to purchase the domain (among other things). After that, on October 1, the website again updated and now directed the user to a Facebook link to the creator's account, as mentioned earlier. On March 2012, the website had a link to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120413105733/http://www.tmdchina.net/ TMDChina.net], where the creator posted several blogs. Right next to the TMD link, there was a hyperlink that redirected to an Oranum chat. The blog website then moved to "blog.tmdchina.com".,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120310085712/http://www.shafou.com/</ref> | ||

In 2013, the same content of the website remained, but the link to the blog was removed. The file, interestingly, later changed to "s.swf", and the title changed to "SHAFOU" which rapidly switched from capital to lowercase. On February 2016, the website link to the creator's blog was added again. Later on, the website was replaced and turned into a redirect to [[Herobrine.com]], presumably made by the same creator. However, next year, the website reverted to the same content, but with a picture of [[Regan MacNeil]] instead of a .sfw file. A link to [[Herobrine.com]] was added above. [[Herobrine.com]] at the time was a blog website, and the "Home" link redirected to Shafou.com, revealing that the author of Shafou.com and [[Herobrine.com]] are most likely the same person. After some time, the link to [[Herobrine.com]] was removed, and both of them later changed to have the same content after 2 years. | In 2013, the same content of the website remained, but the link to the blog was removed.

In October 2019, the website was replaced entirely with a note: "你访问的这个网站域名正在以9.9万元的价格出售中，交易方式为阿里云带价PUSH，如买请联系 13225271551 不买不要联系", which translates to: "''The domain name of the website you are visiting is being sold at a price of 99,000 yuan.
