Agor.io: Difference between revisions

When the site opened, an image of [[Jeff The Killer]] appeared which quickly exchanged between negative and normal colors at a ratio that could cause seizures along with a loud, almost metallic sound, the same [[.swf]] [[animation]] from [[Anne.jpg]]. A ''[[wikipedia:leetspeak|leetspeak]]'' text on the page said "L3mm1ng Braz1I App3r Yazir Alyx WanR00t H0rs3 D0nny". When the user tried to close the page, a window appeared with the text "''U SCARED BRO LOL''" forcing the user to close the browser completely (although some browsers would not close, forcing them to kill the process with Task Manager or Ctrl+Alt+Delete/Del).  

The creator of the [[website]] was found to be Preston Kellenberger, living in Sardinia, Ohio.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20190821192018/https://screamer.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:6068 The creator] was later found by a user on the Screamer Forums.</ref><ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20181226084349/https://whois.easycounter.com/agor.io WHOIS search] for Agor.io</ref>

There were multiple social media posts about the site, the majority of them coming from [[Reddit]]. Many of the posts are simply to warn people about the screamer, but this one,<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Agario/comments/36w5w8/filling_a_lawsuit_against_the_owner_of_agorio/ The Reddit post] written by the parent.</ref> in particular, was supposedly written by a parent on [[Reddit]] whose 9-year-old son had an epileptic seizure when trying to play ''Agar.io'' because they misspelled it as ''Agor.io.'' The mother states she is talking to a lawyer and is attempting to track down and prosecute the creator of the Agor.io website.
