<div style="overflow-wrap: anywhere;">
'''Goatse.cx''' (also known as Goatse) was a [[shock site]] that prominently featured an image titled "Hello.jpg" depicting a man stretching his anus using both hands, revealing his anal cavity. This image became the first to be used in bait-and-switch pranks due to its shock value, where a user would bait another user into clicking a link. The website used the .cx domain because of its phonetic similarity to the word "sex", but the Christmas Island authorities eventually shut down the website. The image used on the site, originally named "gap3.jpg", was sourced from the Gap.zip file, which contained several shock images of a man named Kirk Johnson "using dildos and butt plugs to stretch his anus". It is unclear whether Johnson posted Gap.zip himself, or if it originated from emails, FTP servers, or other sources.

In addition to "Hello.jpg" under the "The Receiver" section, the full website also featured "The Giver" section, which showed a man with a large penis reaching up to his chest, suggesting the "giver" was about to insert it into another man's anus. The website contained dead links to sites like urinalpoop.org and dolphinsex.org, and older links led to biganal.com. Kirk Johnson was also featured on other shock sites, including Detroithardcore.com<ref name="detroithardcore">A [[shock site]] made in 2001 showing a pornographic image of Kirk Johnson fiercely stretching his anus open with both hands along with a watermark displaying the site's name in the bottom-right corner.</ref>, Bottle Guy<ref name="bottleguy">A [[shock site]] made in 2005, hosted on both [[Shockchan]] and [[LOLShock]]. It displayed a pornographic image of Kirk Johnson with a large bottle inside of his anus.</ref>, and Goatsee.com/Goatsemarathon.com<ref name="goatsee">A slideshow of images depicting Kirk Johnson stretching/shoving big dildoes and butt plugs into his anus to stretch it wide open. The images are all Gap.zip images, which were taken from the contributed work section of Goatse.cx.</ref>. To this day, Goatse is still a common method of internet trolling.

== History and background ==
The ''Goatse'' image first emerged in 1997 as a part of a collection of 40 images of a man named Kirk Johnson, which were shared among the internet's gay porn community through email, FTP, and message boards like Usenet. However, when a hacker group called the "Hick crew" consisting mainly of teenage hackers and internet trolls, acquired the collection, they used one of the images, Johnson's stretched anus, to prank each other and their "enemies", including Christian chat forums, spamming the image until all other users left the chatroom. The image was stored in an unlabeled directory owned by one of the Hick crew members, but a hacker and Hick associate named Merl1n saw a better way to distribute it and registered the domain ''Goatse.cx'' in 1999. The website became incredibly popular as a prank, with users sending unsuspecting individuals an apparently innocent link, only to shock them with the image.<ref name="vice">Hernandez, Patricia. "Shit, Death, and Gore: How Shock Sites Shaped the Internet." Vice, 5 Aug. 2016, https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxnw7b/shit-death-and-gore-how-shock-sites-shaped-the-internet.</ref>

=== Website's history ===
In 1999, the original ''Goatse'' website featured the text "What are you doing here?" in the center, and after 10 seconds, it would redirect to index2.html. Later, two links to ''feedback.html'' and ''contrib.html'' were added, along with links to other websites supposedly created by the original owner, such as ''urinalpoop.org'' and ''dolphinsex.org''. In 2003, the website owner addressed merchandising attempts for goatse.cx and announced that official merchandise was coming soon. However, on January 14, 2004, [[wikipedia:.cx|Christmas Island]] suspended ''Goatse.cx'' for violating their Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) following a complaint from its residents. The domain remained in suspension until January 2007 when it was placed back in the available domain pool.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20040531080510/http://www.nic.cx/complaints/goatse.cx/aup.noticeofcomplaint.pdf</ref>

On April 30, 2007, the ''goatse.cx'' domain name was sold at an auction to an unknown bidder. However, the first auction was plagued by fake bids, prompting a reactivation of the auction.<ref>Grossman, Lev. "Goatse.cx Now For Sale (Seriously)." Wired, 9 Apr. 2007, http://blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/2007/04/goatsecx_now_fo.html.</ref> The second auction was similarly affected, leading to Seobidding.com's announcement that the website would be sold for $500,000 and that legal action would be taken against the fake bidders.<ref>"Goatse.cx." SEO Bidding, archived from the original on 13 Jul. 2007, https://web.archive.org/web/20070713140015/http://www.seobidding.com/buy/auction/goatse.cx.</ref> As of November 25, 2007, the website was still for sale, with a minimum asking price of $50,200. In 2008, a new owner purchased the website for 8,000 euros, and it is now being developed as a subdomain service for hosting websites. While plans for a cryptocurrency called Goatse Coin were previously announced, no progress has been made.<ref>Caraan, Sophie. "Goatse Keeps Trying to Make Money with Cryptocurrency." Vice, 21 Feb. 2018, https://www.vice.com/en/article/xwbwa7/goatse-keeps-trying-to-make-money-with-cryptocurrency.</ref>

After the Christmas Island Internet Administration put the domain ''goatse.cx'' back into the available domain pool in January 2007, a typosquatting-like website about financing was found on the domain.<ref>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20070324073130/http://goatse.cx/ Goatse.cx]''. Archived from [http://goatse.cx/ the original] on 24 March 2007. Retrieved 10 April 2023.</ref> On January 16, the domain was registered through domain registrar Variomedia, and the registrant attempted to auction the right to use the domain. The first attempt to sell the domain by SEOBidding had a reserve of $120 which was not met. On July 4, 2008, the website was relaunched with a parody of the original site, replacing the "Hello.jpg" image with an image of ''[[wikipedia:Bill O'Reilly|Bill O'Reilly]]'', while the file name and alt text remained the same as before. In December, the image was changed again to showcase a stylized representation of hello.jpg, featuring a pair of silver robotic hands <nowiki>'stretching' a metallic, circular wall aperture in what appears to be a futuristic factory setting, with a photoshopped image of the character Gumby next to it</nowiki> (that is actually taken from a trailer for the Game Boy Advance video game ''Gumby VS the Astrobots''). The image had a link to a site called imagechan.com. The website still contained text above the image mentioning that it was still for sale.<ref>"Goatse.cx." Internet Archive, archived from the original on 18 Dec. 2008, https://web.archive.org/web/20081218034824/http://goatse.cx/.</ref>

On October 21, 2009, the Rick Latona "Daily Domains" newsletter advertised the goatse.cx domain for sale at $15,000, highlighting it as a "famous site" with numerous backlinks. The site was updated in April 2010 to announce the upcoming beta release of an emailing service called "Goatse Stinger 2.0" and included a Yahoo! mailing list and a parody sketch of the infamous "Hello.jpg" image. However, the email service was never launched beyond this point, and by June 2011, the "www." version of the website redirected to a web-hosting company's site. In October 2012, the goatse.cx domain was acquired by a new owner who planned to offer a webmail service with ''goatse.cx'' email addresses. The domain redirected to ''signup.goatse.cx'', with a launch planned for early December 2012. The website launched an [[wikipedia:Indiegogo, Inc.|''Indiegogo'']] campaign in 2013 to fund the email service.<ref>"Goatse.cx." Internet Archive, archived from the original on 21 Oct. 2012, https://web.archive.org/web/20121021141400/http://signup.goatse.cx/.</ref> In January 2014, the site announced the development of its own cryptocurrency, "Goatse Coin". In December of that year, the website began offering subdomains. The latest version of the site offers users the opportunity to purchase pixels for advertising purposes using the Ethereum blockchain. As of 2018, the owner has sold 6,000 pixels, earning $624 at .001 ETH (worth $104) per pixel, according to Vice. Although plans for the site's email system, Goatse Mail, were previously announced, it has yet to be launched.

On March 31st, 2024, the ''goatse.cx'' domain redirected to a [[wikipedia:Telegram|Telegram]] group named "Goatse's Crypto Project"<ref>t.me/goatse_group</ref>.

As of late 2024, the page now contains an elaborate article on Goatse, containing cryptic references to "Goatse AI" and mentions of "$goatse", which is most likely related to cryptocurrency, "GoatseTrivium," and various descriptions about the meme's origins and significance. It also includes other links such as the [[wikipedia:Telegram|Telegram]] group and [[X|Twitter]] page.

== In popular culture ==
[[File:Goatse.jpg|thumb|293x293px|Hackers successfully hijack an electronic billboard to display the dreaded image.]]
Goatse has become an Internet meme due to many users being tricked into viewing the site or a mirror of it. The infamous images were posted on the official [[wikipedia:Oprah Winfrey|''Oprah Winfrey'']] Message Boards in 2000, causing the board to be retired shortly afterwards. [[wikipedia:Slashdot|''Slashdot'']] also altered its threaded discussion forum display software to prevent users from tricking unsuspecting readers into visiting the site.<ref>Levy, Steven. Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution. Penguin Books, 2001. Google Books, https://books.google.com/books?id=lVXnmsCCd3wC&q=goatse&pg=PA274.</ref> The use of ''goatse.cx'' as a "fake" link to shock friends became popular and was later adapted as a technique for common shock sites such as [[Tubgirl]].<ref name="vice" /> Website authors have used the goatse.cx image to deter hot-linking to their site by replacing the hot-linked image with an embarrassing one. This sends a clear message to the offending website's operators visible to anyone who views the web page in question. For instance, in 2007, ''[[wikipedia:Wired (magazine)|WIRED]]'' hot-linked to another site in an article about the "sexiest geeks of 2007" and the site replaced the hot-linked image with one from goatse.cx.<ref>Waters, Richard. "What's the Story Behind the Bill O'Reilly Goatse Image?"

Sam Hocevar, archived from the original on 18 Jul. 2016, http://sam.zoy.org/goatse/.</ref> Additionally, the Goatse image has been used for various parodies, such as in the aftermath of [[wikipedia:Hurricane Charley|''Hurricane Charley'']] in August 2004 when a photograph purporting to show "the hands of God" in the cloud formations circulated via email.<ref>Mikkelson, David. "God Hands." Snopes.com, 26 Aug. 2015, http://www.snopes.com/photos/natural/godhands.asp.</ref> Similarly, discs containing a leaked Mac OS X build, OSx86, were distributed in 2005 on [[wikipedia:BitTorrent|''BitTorrent'']] filesharing networks, but instead of the expected Mac OS, the discs reportedly displayed the Goatse image when booted.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20051109102655/tuaw.com/2005/08/12/jumping-on-the-bandwagon-os-x-on-x86-omg/] Jumping on the bandwagon: OS X on x86 OMG] by Scott McNulty, published on TUAW.com on August 12, 2005.

Chris Anderson, in his book ''The Long Tail'' (2008), noted that goatse.cx is a well-known reference only among a small subculture of Internet users who use it as a shared context joke or secret membership code. Anderson cited an example of a photo of Anil Dash wearing a T-shirt with the word "Goatse" and stylized hands accompanying an article about Google in ''[[wikipedia:The New York Times|The New York Times]]''.<ref>Anderson, Chris.

In [[wikipedia:Doom 3|''Doom 3'']]'s expansion pack ''[[wikipedia:Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil|Resurrection of Evil]]'', an arcade game called "Hellanoid" (a parody of arcade video game ''[[wikipedia:Breakout (video game)|Breakout]]'') is seen in Erebus Labs, after beating 1-2 levels to display a similar image of Goatse in level 3. However, three arcade games include (Sarge's Big Game Hunt, Hellanoid, and Martian Buddy Blaster) are replaced with redundant copies of "Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3" in the [[wikipedia:Doom 3: BFG Edition|BFG Edition]]. A developer of web game Sqword setup a trap when the site is embedded, the infamous image is shown with text saying "I steal other people’s code because I’m a total hack".

Ars Technica. Retrieved 11 April 2024.</ref>. On May 23rd, 2023, a Wikipedia article's image on a featured article about [[wikipedia:The Playboy|The Playboy]] was replaced with the infamous image by Wikipedia user Kirisami<ref>reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/13pivjt/okay_who_changed_the_main_image_on_the_featured</ref>.

A parody of the Goatse image is one of the possible [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] images given on [[Screamer Wiki]].

A professional Counter-Strike player Joshua "oSee" Ohm revealed his nickname is a reference to the infamous shock image. This inspired the Counter-Strike community to coin the twitch term "Goatsee" (as an alternative for "noSee") for whenever oSee pulls a multikill highlight.

'''Reported''' is a [[screamer]] [[webpage]] that was created by the user [[User:Korna|Korna]]. This screamer is hosted by "korna ansiklopedisi" which translates to "Horn Encyclopedia"

The page uses the same source code with [[Pnrtscr.com|Pnrtscr.com]], the only differences are the texts and the colors used in the page.
Upon entering the page, the users would meet a text that translates to "Are you sure you want to report this page? If yes, please confirm it using the buttons down below." with a little disclaimer that translates to "Due to the content of the reported page, some content that may trigger epilepsy etc. may be encountered."

Down below there were two buttons which translates to Confirm and Cancel. If any of them are clicked, it would play a video titled "2025.mp4" that uses the audio from the [[Jeff the Killer|Jeff the Killer]] jumpscare, with multiple images.

The page can be accessed using the template "SSM" which was inspired by [[Encyclopedia Dramatica|Encyclopedia Dramatica]]'s "FBI" template. The template looks like this:

==About [[(Deleted video)]]==
Por que estão querendo manter esse artigo se, praticamente o suposto video screamer não existe? Eu já tentei pesquisar na web arquivo o video para trocar, mas não encontrei nada. E outra, não foi a primeira vez que eu coloquei {{tl|delete}} por lá, quando reverteram na primeira vez a edição, eu pensei que já iriam encontrar o video, mas cinco meses se passou, mas ninguém substituiu o video deletado, o que consta ter sido criado por algum troll, sem ter provas que o video realmente existiu.

Translation:<br>
Why are you wanting to keep this article if practically the supposed video screamer doesn't exist? I've already tried searching the web for video file to exchange, but I haven't found anything. And another, it wasn't the first time I've put {{tl|delete}} there, when they reverted the edit the first time, I thought they'd already find the video, but five months went by, but no one replaced the deleted video , which is said to have been created by some troll, without having proof that the video really existed.

==Theres a mistake in a template==
There's a grammar mistake in the [[Template:LegalNotice|LegalNotice]] template which makes it look like the article itself is illegal instead of the thing the article talks about. [[User:Pmb1226|Pmb1226]] 2:10, 17 December 2021 (UTC)

== Some order ==

Please remove those templates that already has the category of it. For example, a template of Last Measure clones was deleted because there was a [[:Category:Last Measure|category]] for it. Remember to do what your elders says kiddo. --[[User:SkyBlueCat|'''<font color="cyan" style="text-shadow: 2px 1px 2px #3366ff">SkyBl</font><font color="blue">ueCat</font>''']] ([[User talk:SkyBlueCat|talk]]) 12:25, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

Thats my boy. 14:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)~

==I found a screamer that maybe no one created an article here==
Eu já tinha criado um artigo de jumpscare onde o Coringa morto se deixar um determinado tempo e depois incinerar o seu corpo, ele da um grito alto antes da tela de titulo do jogo. Mas esse novo me surpreendeu e até deu um medo em alguns jogadores. Eu ainda não sei qual jogo seria, mas se você subir muito nos prédios como Batman, do nada surge o Morcego humano e grita alto na nossa cara, ele ameaça atacar o Batman e depois foge. Um susto da porra certamente, aqui o video caso se interesse em criar o artigo: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U5YKA9AmLC0

Translation:<br>
I had already created a jumpscare article where the dead Joker if left for a certain time and then incinerated his body, he gives a loud scream before the title screen of the game. But this new one surprised me and even scared some players. I still don't know what game it would be, but if you climb a lot of buildings as Batman, out of nowhere the human Bat appears and screams loudly in our faces, he threatens to attack Batman and then runs away. A hell of a scare for sure, here's the video if you're interested in creating the article: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/U5YKA9AmLC0 [[User:Dragomaniaco|Dragomaniaco]] ([[User talk:Dragomaniaco|talk]]) 17:12, 2 May 2023 (MST)

I do want to have quick question since I made a page about it so I double check I want to confirm if it is a shock site or not so I can know, is the infamous FNF controversial mod, "Monday Mornin' Live Leakin'" counts as a shock site? It is because Naxinet added Ronnie's suicide, Gleb's suicide and even Budd Dwyer's suicide in the Game Over screen whenever you lose one of them and it basically punishes you with gore, plus not mention I think cheese pizza artwork of Rorochan was apart of the game as well since it may be sort of illegal since the artwork based on a real 14 year old girl, let me know if it counts as a shock site, if not, feel free to delete the page since I just made it for boredom and practise working on pages. - [[User:Gorestriker Studios]]

== Deletion of "Bowling animations" ==

Heya!

I understand the reason for deleting the page (and I do see the nuance between pornographic content and a "shock site"), however, I do not see how it does not fit the description of a shock site like the one seen on the Shock sites category (as it is a piece of media (animation) that has shocked viewers by displaying obscene imagery), and it is quite similar to other cases like 1 Girl 1 Knife (although it doesn't have a dedicated "shock site") or Fake Fancams: it has been shared around as a "bait & switch" video by people on Twitter, was often referred to as the "bowling video", and the original creator has continued making them, aware that they would be shared in this shocking & innapropriate manner, way out of the "pornography" community of Twitter/X. It may not be a "shock site" as in a website, but I do think it carries the same importance as a shock site or screamer.

Thanks in advance :).--[[User:Adonys|Adonys]] ([[User talk:Adonys|talk]]) 11:40, 26 August 2024 (MST)

:Although Twitter warns users about sensitive content, shock sites usually involve disturbing real-life material. Animated content, on the other hand, is a form of artistic expression, which sets it apart from real-life horrors typically associated with shock sites. --[[User:Tankmanfan44|<font color="#FFFFFF">'''Tankmanfan44'''</font>]] [[File:icon-user.gif|27px|link=User:Tankmanfan44]] 11:46, 26 August 2024 (MST)

::I see, I thought these animations fit the category since animation is included in the Shock Sites definition, and the videos (especially the 2 most recent ones, but the 2 first ones too) were made with the intent to instigate a reaction, or replicate the reactions of horror/shock that the original 2 videos are known for. The huge spread of these videos around Twitter and even further, the potentially shocking "out of nowhere" twist to them and the fact that they appear on non 18+ user pages all make it count as a "shock site" to me, but I do respect your decision if you think otherwise.

But the language of the site is not English. Would that be a problem? Like can I still add it to the wiki? --[[User:Korna|Korna]] ([[User talk:Korna|talk]]) 12:10, 7 April 2025 (MST)

No, that's not a problem. You just need to write the article in English and the screamer should be good quality. --[[User:Tankmanfan44|<font color="#FFFFFF">'''Tankmanfan44'''</font>]] '''([[User talk:Tankmanfan44|talk]])''' [[File:icon-user.gif|27px|link=User:Tankmanfan44]] 11:13, 7 April 2025 (MST)

I actually don't know if I should keep the screamer name in the original language, translate it or just use the name of the site instead of those. Which one I actually should do? --[[User:Korna|Korna]] ([[User talk:Korna|talk]]) 12:29, 7 April 2025 (MST)

'''Goatse.cx''' (also known as Goatse) was a [[shock site]] that prominently featured an image titled "Hello.jpg" depicting a man stretching his anus using both hands, revealing his anal cavity. This image became the first to be used in bait-and-switch pranks due to its shock value, where a user would bait another user into clicking a link. The website used the .cx domain because of its phonetic similarity to the word "sex", but the Christmas Island authorities eventually shut down the website. The image used on the site, originally named "gap3.jpg", was sourced from the Gap.zip file, which contained several shock images of a man named Kirk Johnson "using dildos and butt plugs to stretch his anus". It is unclear whether Johnson posted Gap.zip himself, or if it originated from emails, FTP servers, or other sources.

In addition to "Hello.jpg" under the "The Receiver" section, the full website also featured "The Giver" section, which showed a man with a large penis reaching up to his chest, suggesting the "giver" was about to insert it into another man's anus. The website contained dead links to sites like urinalpoop.org and dolphinsex.org, and older links led to biganal.com. Kirk Johnson was also featured on other shock sites, including Detroithardcore.com<ref name="detroithardcore">A [[shock site]] made in 2001 showing a pornographic image of Kirk Johnson fiercely stretching his anus open with both hands along with a watermark displaying the site's name in the bottom-right corner.</ref>, Bottle Guy<ref name="bottleguy">A [[shock site]] made in 2005, hosted on both [[Shockchan]] and [[LOLShock]].

The images are all Gap.zip images, which were taken from the contributed work section of Goatse.cx.</ref>. To this day, Goatse is still a common method of internet trolling.

== History and background ==
The ''Goatse'' image first emerged in 1997 as a part of a collection of 40 images of a man named Kirk Johnson, which were shared among the internet's gay porn community through email, FTP, and message boards like Usenet. However, when a hacker group called the "Hick crew" consisting mainly of teenage hackers and internet trolls, acquired the collection, they used one of the images, Johnson's stretched anus, to prank each other and their "enemies", including Christian chat forums, spamming the image until all other users left the chatroom. The image was stored in an unlabeled directory owned by one of the Hick crew members, but a hacker and Hick associate named Merl1n saw a better way to distribute it and registered the domain ''Goatse.cx'' in 1999. The website became incredibly popular as a prank, with users sending unsuspecting individuals an apparently innocent link, only to shock them with the image.<ref name="vice">Hernandez, Patricia. "Shit, Death, and Gore: How Shock Sites Shaped the Internet." Vice, 5 Aug. 2016, https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxnw7b/shit-death-and-gore-how-shock-sites-shaped-the-internet.</ref>

=== Website's history ===
In 1999, the original ''Goatse'' website featured the text "What are you doing here?" in the center, and after 10 seconds, it would redirect to index2.html. Later, two links to ''feedback.html'' and ''contrib.html'' were added, along with links to other websites supposedly created by the original owner, such as ''urinalpoop.org'' and ''dolphinsex.org''. In 2003, the website owner addressed merchandising attempts for goatse.cx and announced that official merchandise was coming soon. However, on January 14, 2004, [[wikipedia:.cx|Christmas Island]] suspended ''Goatse.cx'' for violating their Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) following a complaint from its residents. The domain remained in suspension until January 2007 when it was placed back in the available domain pool.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20040531080510/http://www.nic.cx/complaints/goatse.cx/aup.noticeofcomplaint.pdf</ref>

On April 30, 2007, the ''goatse.cx'' domain name was sold at an auction to an unknown bidder. However, the first auction was plagued by fake bids, prompting a reactivation of the auction.<ref>Grossman, Lev. "Goatse.cx Now For Sale (Seriously)." Wired, 9 Apr. 2007, http://blog.wired.com/tableofmalcontents/2007/04/goatsecx_now_fo.html.</ref> The second auction was similarly affected, leading to Seobidding.com's announcement that the website would be sold for $500,000 and that legal action would be taken against the fake bidders.<ref>"Goatse.cx." SEO Bidding, archived from the original on 13 Jul. 2007, https://web.archive.org/web/20070713140015/http://www.seobidding.com/buy/auction/goatse.cx.</ref> As of November 25, 2007, the website was still for sale, with a minimum asking price of $50,200. In 2008, a new owner purchased the website for 8,000 euros, and it is now being developed as a subdomain service for hosting websites. While plans for a cryptocurrency called Goatse Coin were previously announced, no progress has been made.<ref>Caraan, Sophie. "Goatse Keeps Trying to Make Money with Cryptocurrency." Vice, 21 Feb. 2018, https://www.vice.com/en/article/xwbwa7/goatse-keeps-trying-to-make-money-with-cryptocurrency.</ref>

After the Christmas Island Internet Administration put the domain ''goatse.cx'' back into the available domain pool in January 2007, a typosquatting-like website about financing was found on the domain.<ref>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20070324073130/http://goatse.cx/ Goatse.cx]''. Archived from [http://goatse.cx/ the original] on 24 March 2007. Retrieved 10 April 2023.</ref> On January 16, the domain was registered through domain registrar Variomedia, and the registrant attempted to auction the right to use the domain. The first attempt to sell the domain by SEOBidding had a reserve of $120 which was not met. On July 4, 2008, the website was relaunched with a parody of the original site, replacing the "Hello.jpg" image with an image of ''[[wikipedia:Bill O'Reilly|Bill O'Reilly]]'', while the file name and alt text remained the same as before. In December, the image was changed again to showcase a stylized representation of hello.jpg, featuring a pair of silver robotic hands <nowiki>'stretching' a metallic, circular wall aperture in what appears to be a futuristic factory setting, with a photoshopped image of the character Gumby next to it</nowiki> (that is actually taken from a trailer for the Game Boy Advance video game ''Gumby VS the Astrobots''). The image had a link to a site called imagechan.com. The website still contained text above the image mentioning that it was still for sale.<ref>"Goatse.cx." Internet Archive, archived from the original on 18 Dec. 2008, https://web.archive.org/web/20081218034824/http://goatse.cx/.</ref>

On October 21, 2009, the Rick Latona "Daily Domains" newsletter advertised the goatse.cx domain for sale at $15,000, highlighting it as a "famous site" with numerous backlinks. The site was updated in April 2010 to announce the upcoming beta release of an emailing service called "Goatse Stinger 2.0" and included a Yahoo! mailing list and a parody sketch of the infamous "Hello.jpg" image. However, the email service was never launched beyond this point, and by June 2011, the "www." version of the website redirected to a web-hosting company's site. In October 2012, the goatse.cx domain was acquired by a new owner who planned to offer a webmail service with ''goatse.cx'' email addresses. The domain redirected to ''signup.goatse.cx'', with a launch planned for early December 2012. The website launched an [[wikipedia:Indiegogo, Inc.|''Indiegogo'']] campaign in 2013 to fund the email service.<ref>"Goatse.cx." Internet Archive, archived from the original on 21 Oct. 2012, https://web.archive.org/web/20121021141400/http://signup.goatse.cx/.</ref> In January 2014, the site announced the development of its own cryptocurrency, "Goatse Coin". In December of that year, the website began offering subdomains. The latest version of the site offers users the opportunity to purchase pixels for advertising purposes using the Ethereum blockchain. As of 2018, the owner has sold 6,000 pixels, earning $624 at .001 ETH (worth $104) per pixel, according to Vice. Although plans for the site's email system, Goatse Mail, were previously announced, it has yet to be launched.

On March 31st, 2024, the ''goatse.cx'' domain redirected to a [[wikipedia:Telegram|Telegram]] group named "Goatse's Crypto Project"<ref>t.me/goatse_group</ref>.

As of late 2024, the page now contains an elaborate article on Goatse, containing cryptic references to "Goatse AI" and mentions of "$goatse", which is most likely related to cryptocurrency, "GoatseTrivium," and various descriptions about the meme's origins and significance. It also includes other links such as the [[wikipedia:Telegram|Telegram]] group and [[X|Twitter]] page.

== In popular culture ==
[[File:Goatse.jpg|thumb|293x293px|Hackers successfully hijack an electronic billboard to display the dreaded image.]]
Goatse has become an Internet meme due to many users being tricked into viewing the site or a mirror of it. The infamous images were posted on the official [[wikipedia:Oprah Winfrey|''Oprah Winfrey'']] Message Boards in 2000, causing the board to be retired shortly afterwards. [[wikipedia:Slashdot|''Slashdot'']] also altered its threaded discussion forum display software to prevent users from tricking unsuspecting readers into visiting the site.<ref>Levy, Steven. Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution. Penguin Books, 2001. Google Books, https://books.google.com/books?id=lVXnmsCCd3wC&q=goatse&pg=PA274.</ref> The use of ''goatse.cx'' as a "fake" link to shock friends became popular and was later adapted as a technique for common shock sites such as [[Tubgirl]].<ref name="vice" /> Website authors have used the goatse.cx image to deter hot-linking to their site by replacing the hot-linked image with an embarrassing one. This sends a clear message to the offending website's operators visible to anyone who views the web page in question. For instance, in 2007, ''[[wikipedia:Wired (magazine)|WIRED]]'' hot-linked to another site in an article about the "sexiest geeks of 2007" and the site replaced the hot-linked image with one from goatse.cx.<ref>Waters, Richard.

Sam Hocevar, archived from the original on 18 Jul. 2016, http://sam.zoy.org/goatse/.</ref> Additionally, the Goatse image has been used for various parodies, such as in the aftermath of [[wikipedia:Hurricane Charley|''Hurricane Charley'']] in August 2004 when a photograph purporting to show "the hands of God" in the cloud formations circulated via email.<ref>Mikkelson, David. "God Hands."

A professional Counter-Strike player Joshua "oSee" Ohm revealed his nickname is a reference to the infamous shock image. This inspired the Counter-Strike community to coin the twitch term "Goatsee" (as an alternative for "noSee") for whenever oSee pulls a multikill highlight.

Goatse

2025-04-03T18:37:31Z

Korna: Basically, I was looking for old archives of a popular website in my country, eksisozluk.com. It redirected me to this page and I saw a copy of the Goatse site. This counts as a mirror so, I added it.

<div style="overflow-wrap: anywhere;">
'''Goatse.cx''' (also known as Goatse) was a [[shock site]] that prominently featured an image titled "Hello.jpg" depicting a man stretching his anus using both hands, revealing his anal cavity. This image became the first to be used in bait-and-switch pranks due to its shock value, where a user would bait another user into clicking a link. The website used the .cx domain because of its phonetic similarity to the word "sex", but the Christmas Island authorities eventually shut down the website. The image used on the site, originally named "gap3.jpg", was sourced from the Gap.zip file, which contained several shock images of a man named Kirk Johnson "using dildos and butt plugs to stretch his anus". It is unclear whether Johnson posted Gap.zip himself, or if it originated from emails, FTP servers, or other sources.

In addition to "Hello.jpg" under the "The Receiver" section, the full website also featured "The Giver" section, which showed a man with a large penis reaching up to his chest, suggesting the "giver" was about to insert it into another man's anus. The website contained dead links to sites like urinalpoop.org and dolphinsex.org, and older links led to biganal.com. Kirk Johnson was also featured on other shock sites, including Detroithardcore.com<ref name="detroithardcore">A [[shock site]] made in 2001 showing a pornographic image of Kirk Johnson fiercely stretching his anus open with both hands along with a watermark displaying the site's name in the bottom-right corner.</ref>, Bottle Guy<ref name="bottleguy">A [[shock site]] made in 2005, hosted on both [[Shockchan]] and [[LOLShock]]. It displayed a pornographic image of Kirk Johnson with a large bottle inside of his anus.</ref>, and Goatsee.com/Goatsemarathon.com<ref name="goatsee">A slideshow of images depicting Kirk Johnson stretching/shoving big dildoes and butt plugs into his anus to stretch it wide open. The images are all Gap.zip images, which were taken from the contributed work section of Goatse.cx.</ref>. To this day, Goatse is still a common method of internet trolling.

== History and background ==
The ''Goatse'' image first emerged in 1997 as a part of a collection of 40 images of a man named Kirk Johnson, which were shared among the internet's gay porn community through email, FTP, and message boards like Usenet. However, when a hacker group called the "Hick crew" consisting mainly of teenage hackers and internet trolls, acquired the collection, they used one of the images, Johnson's stretched anus, to prank each other and their "enemies", including Christian chat forums, spamming the image until all other users left the chatroom. The image was stored in an unlabeled directory owned by one of the Hick crew members, but a hacker and Hick associate named Merl1n saw a better way to distribute it and registered the domain ''Goatse.cx'' in 1999. The website became incredibly popular as a prank, with users sending unsuspecting individuals an apparently innocent link, only to shock them with the image.<ref name="vice">Hernandez, Patricia. "Shit, Death, and Gore: How Shock Sites Shaped the Internet." Vice, 5 Aug. 2016, https://www.vice.com/en/article/wxnw7b/shit-death-and-gore-how-shock-sites-shaped-the-internet.</ref>

=== Website's history ===
In 1999, the original ''Goatse'' website featured the text "What are you doing here?" in the center, and after 10 seconds, it would redirect to index2.html. Later, two links to ''feedback.html'' and ''contrib.html'' were added, along with links to other websites supposedly created by the original owner, such as ''urinalpoop.org'' and ''dolphinsex.org''. In 2003, the website owner addressed merchandising attempts for goatse.cx and announced that official merchandise was coming soon. However, on January 14, 2004, [[wikipedia:.cx|Christmas Island]] suspended ''Goatse.cx'' for violating their Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) following a complaint from its residents. The domain remained in suspension until January 2007 when it was placed back in the available domain pool.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20040531080510/http://www.nic.cx/complaints/goatse.cx/aup.noticeofcomplaint.pdf</ref>

On April 30, 2007, the ''goatse.cx'' domain name was sold at an auction to an unknown bidder. However, the first auction was plagued by fake bids, prompting a reactivation of the auction.<ref>Grossman, Lev. "Goatse.cx Now For Sale (Seriously)."

In 2008, a new owner purchased the website for 8,000 euros, and it is now being developed as a subdomain service for hosting websites.

Chris Anderson, in his book ''The Long Tail'' (2008), noted that goatse.cx is a well-known reference only among a small subculture of Internet users who use it as a shared context joke or secret membership code. Anderson cited an example of a photo of Anil Dash wearing a T-shirt with the word "Goatse" and stylized hands accompanying an article about Google in ''[[wikipedia:The New York Times|The New York Times]]''.<ref>Anderson, Chris.

In [[wikipedia:Doom 3|''Doom 3'']]'s expansion pack ''[[wikipedia:Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil|Resurrection of Evil]]'', an arcade game called "Hellanoid" (a parody of arcade video game ''[[wikipedia:Breakout (video game)|Breakout]]'') is seen in Erebus Labs, after beating 1-2 levels to display a similar image of Goatse in level 3. However, three arcade games include (Sarge's Big Game Hunt, Hellanoid, and Martian Buddy Blaster) are replaced with redundant copies of "Super Turbo Turkey Puncher 3" in the [[wikipedia:Doom 3: BFG Edition|BFG Edition]]. A developer of web game Sqword setup a trap when the site is embedded, the infamous image is shown with text saying "I steal other people’s code because I’m a total hack". This was made because of how people put ads on the alternate hosts<ref>''[https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/10/dev-sets-up-goatse-trap-for-sites-that-steal-his-free-web-game/ Dev sets up “goatse” trap for sites that steal his free web game]''. Ars Technica. Retrieved 11 April 2024.</ref>. On May 23rd, 2023, a Wikipedia article's image on a featured article about [[wikipedia:The Playboy|The Playboy]] was replaced with the infamous image by Wikipedia user Kirisami<ref>reddit.com/r/wikipedia/comments/13pivjt/okay_who_changed_the_main_image_on_the_featured</ref>.

A parody of the Goatse image is one of the possible [[Wikipedia:404 error|404 error]] images given on [[Screamer Wiki]].

A professional Counter-Strike player Joshua "oSee" Ohm revealed his nickname is a reference to the infamous shock image. This inspired the Counter-Strike community to coin the twitch term "Goatsee" (as an alternative for "noSee") for whenever oSee pulls a multikill highlight.
