After <code>pnrtscr.com</code> gained popularity in mid 2020, the owner confessed to creating the [[website]] on the subreddit <code>r/screamer</code>. He did not create it with malicious intent but rather as an experiment to develop a modern screamer while testing evolving browsers, intending it as a means for people to startle their friends. The website used the domain pnrtscr.com, closely resembling the original [https://app.prntscr.com/ Lightshot screenshot tool]'s domain, <code>prntscr.com</code>.

Such banners have become commonplace on websites and are often accepted by visitors without a second thought.

Additionally, a link to the website's source code was provided in the post.<ref>reddit.com/r/screamer/comments/ly89ct/pnrtscrcom_the_ultimate_lightshot_screamer/</ref><ref>https://github.com/mathhulk/pnrtscr.com - Source code</ref> | After <code>pnrtscr.com</code> gained popularity in mid 2020, the owner confessed to creating the [[website]] on the subreddit <code>r/screamer</code>.
