'''2015 UFO Sighting Caught on Video''' was a [[screamer]] video uploaded by JAY KARL on May 12, 2010, in [[YouTube]], and has gotten 1 million views as of 2017.

The video is a shakey blurry video of a city, which zooms in onto a flying line (The "UFO"), and follows it until it vanishes behind some trees, then at the 34-second mark, a giant wasp flies at the camera with a loud screech, and then a UFO appears in front of the camera, accompanied by a guy laughing, and two text bubbles that read "HAHA!" and "Aliens are laughing at you!"

The description reads: "While I was out jogging I noticed two sphere-like objects flying near the buildings so I pulled out my pocket camera and started to film. Sorry the footage is shaky I was a little nervous when it came closer to me. You can see this video isn't a fake UFO video as the UFO flies behind the building."

'''Geoguy.avi''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] by Gabriel Garcia (Geoshea/FanonMaker) (known on FANDOM as ''ToonLinkMinions11''). The video was deleted due to Geoshea closing his channel after it was later revealed that he was a pedophile.<ref>https://twitter.com/geoshea2017/status/1417462330271559689</ref>

The video opens with Geo Guy standing in a field and staring at the viewer, accompanied by awkward music. It then transitions to static for 10 seconds before returning to Geo Guy, followed by another 2 seconds of static. In the next scene, Geo Guy has black eyes with red pupils and blood dripping from them. The static noise plays again and the image becomes distorted]]. This pattern repeats with a yellow tint and another scene from [[Squidward's Suicide. A hole forms around Geo Guy, and the scene is engulfed in purple colors with a scream and laughter. Finally, red eyes appear, and the static returns, ending the video.

''' Find ze' differences''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] by a user zachellenny in June 8th, 2008.

The video challenges the viewer to spot the differences in a picture of a bearded man wearing a red cap, accompanied by music. Unlike other similar videos, this one actually has three differences to be found. After 30 seconds, the creator reveals the differences, but suddenly a face from [[What's Wrong With This Picture?|What's Wrong?]] appears, followed by a loud scream and a voice saying "You just got pwned." The video ends with the word "lawl,"

'''''[[wikipedia:Sly Cooper: Thieves of Times|Sly Cooper: Thieves of Times]]'' (Playstation 5 Bootleg) Continue and Game Over''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] by
Lygia Midori Pereira on June 11st, 2022.

The video begins with gameplay footage of the game Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time, featuring the main character Sly Cooper battling Cyrille Le Paradox in the final showdown. If Cyrille defeats Sly, the screen displays the options "yes" or "no". Selecting "Yes" allows the player to continue the game, while selecting "No" triggers an edited image of Cyrille and a scream from [[K-fee commercials]]. The video concludes with a message stating that Cyrille successfully murdered Sly Cooper and stole the canes, resulting in the disappearance of the Cooper's Clan and the world being cursed. The text reads, "Game Over, Sly Cooper..."

'''I'm So Sorry Please Forgive Me.mp4''' is a mysterious video based on the [[Creepypasta]] of the same name, uploaded by a channel of the same name in 2014.

The video opens with static scenes and then transitions to a boy sitting on the edge of a bed, visibly upset, crying with his hands over his face. As time passes, we hear both forward and reverse whispering, followed by the same horrifying scream from [[Suicide Mouse]]. The video quality deteriorates, turning black and white as disturbing imagery appears in the background. After showing the boy crying with his hands over his face, the video eventually reveals a close-up of his still-crying face. He stops crying and removes his hands, accompanied by static, before the camera shows his entire face, which appears mangled with empty, white-pupiled eyes. Suddenly, the video cuts to the boy staring directly at the camera. A reversed whooshing sound is heard, and he lunges towards the camera before returning to normal. After a pause, he screams again, echoing the same bloodcurdling scream heard earlier in the video.

== Trivia ==

* The video was created to correlate with the story of the boy in the Creepypasta, about how he broke up with his girlfriend and commuted suicide and now is a ghost seeking vengeance.

lomando.com is a Japanese [[screamer]] website made by Shisso-kanrinin (Mousoumanager, Nohito, and fantasy person). It's also called Fancy Island (ふぁんしーあいらんど).

This website starts off being normal, but when the player (now plays as the Visitor (訪問者 hōmonsha, lit. "visit person") clicks the [[Mimi]] image with the site's logo (as seen in the infobox), the site then warns the user that since it's scary, it's not recommended for those people who suffer from heart problems and seizures when clicking the image below, they will be redirected to the same site, but now it has a door. The player can click on it and they will meet three cursed dolls or Dai Kamuro (Ookamuro) staring at the viewer accompanied by an eerie ambience playing in the background. Five clickable white circles (or four mirrors) are placed in the bottom-left corner. When the player clicks on the fifth, Yukie will pop up and crawl towards the camera along with a scream/moan.

This site strangely contains a story, and when the player goes deeper into it, the player will fight the final boss the Pieyama God, and finally complete the "game". There are a lot of puzzles, mazes, and different screamers on the website, most are totally unexpected. The game story is basically about heavy themes like paranoia, suicidal thoughts, and depression. It can be listed as "Utsu ge" (Utsu ge means "depressing game". The purpose of these types of games is to depress the player) or just as a typical horror game. Even if the site has lots of screamers, it can also be considered a (horror) puzzle game since almost every part of the site has a puzzle or is part of one.

On the famous Japanese video-sharing website Niconico, Fancy Island/Lomando became an internet meme and is frequently used as a source in MAD videos (otoMAD/MAD videos are the Japanese YTPMV), there are lots of fanart on Pixiv too.

A short expansion of the game, titled "[[Deep Fancy Island]]", was released on January 6th, 2023.
==Plot==
The game also contains hints that reveal a complex and fascinating backstory that took place before the events of the game. The story of Lomando.com likely originated in 2011, with Chaos.html containing a swirling newspaper that details events before the game. The backstory begins with Yukihito, the creator of Fancy Island, an amusement park with a mascot character named Mimi. Yukihito wrote in two diaries, "The Manager's Journal" and "The Theory of Wanting to Die" which revealed his spiral into depression and suicidal thoughts. In August 2009, Fancy Island opened but was soon hit by a contagious virus outbreak, forcing it to close. Guilt-ridden and remorseful, Yukihito retreated from public life and continued writing in his diary about his nightmares and suicidal thoughts. Yukihito died under mysterious circumstances on April 4th, 2010. Some of his diary entries were added after his death, with one revealing that he had contemplated suicide. After the closure of the park due to the virus outbreak, the abandoned amusement park was taken over by various hostile ghosts, including Yukihito's soul. Pieyama God claimed the park and tried to kill anyone who entered, while many other ghosts either tried to kill or scare visitors. Only a few were friendly. The exterior of the park retained its friendly decorations to lure people in, while the interior was transformed into a bloodier haunted house aesthetic. During this time, a ghost woman named Ellis possessed a former employee of the park, a white cat named Nekoshow, and turned it into a demonized version called Nekomata.

The haunted amusement park drew the attention of a researcher investigating paranormal activity and the missing park visitors. The researcher vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a recorder. While exploring the park, the researcher discovered a room with a cryptic passcode written on the wall, which they read out loud before their recording abruptly ended. Later, the player enters the amusement park, fighting off hostile ghosts and eventually freeing Nekoshow from the possession of the malevolent spirit, Ellis.

== The site content ==
As mentioned earlier, before clicking on [[Mimi]]'s photo, the site seems normal, even kind of cute. In addition, the site also has a panel just to introduce the "characters" from the game. Its design can change during New Year and Christmas, and the player can get a special event on the same day.
However, while it may seem harmless from the start, there are some easter eggs on it. Those will be listed below.
* If the player presses either the 'Next' or 'Return' button too many times on the character panel, Gallery Master will appear: The character description is replaced with only "あああああああああああああああああああああああ" and the panel will turn black. Also, instead of a character picture, there will be an eye on her face staring at the viewer along with a loud laugh, which leads to main.html.
[[File:LomandoSanta.png|thumb|Santa Claus.]]
* CHRISTMAS EVENT ONLY: During Christmas, if the player clicks on the Santa Claus picture in the above-left corner the player will be redirected to xmaschallenge.html and then Santa Claus pops up telling the player to choose the three presents If the player picks the wrong presents Santa Claus will become distorted. After this, a compilation of screamers will pop up while the screams are singing Jingle Bells. And the player will be redirected to main.html.
**In xmaschallenge.html, It shows Santa Claus on a desk with three presents that can contain a total of five prizes that Santa will describe and show the viewer; a full list of the prizes can be found here. Sometimes, when the user clicks one of the presents, Santa Claus will become distorted and a Rush event will occur that remixes the same song with screamers. After this, the player will be redirected to main.html.
[[File:Oshowgatsu.png|thumb|New Years event.]]
* NEW YEAR EVENT ONLY: During the new year, if the player clicks on the Mimi with a yukata below the site, the player will be redirected to another flash animation. Mimi is in a sanctuary while dressing in a yukata, and tells that she will read the player's new year's fortune if they put their donation in the box. After the player clicks on the box, Mimi will shake the cup and there will be two results: one is bad luck and one is good luck. If the player got good luck (white paper), nothing happens and the player can try again. However, if the player got bad luck (black paper), lots of screamers will pop up and after it, the player will be redirected to the "dark side" of the website, in a new version of this event, the player can see Yukatan is not even at there and skips into a new version of it, Mimi will tell the user to drop the coin into the donation box if it's a white paper with different letters (if it's pink, Mimi would be excited) if the user tries that again and receives a black paper, everything will turn black and then Mukadeobake, Dai kuchisake-onna, Sansuzumume, Kubishime-onna, Mandoreiku, Ellis (Erisu) will pop up in rapid succession with loud scream-singing song.

And finally, if the player clicks on Mimi's picture, the player will be redirected to the "game". There is a list of every consequence for clicking on the buttons below Ookamuro.

=== あｓぢｌんｈｃｋｊｄさ (Elizabeth) ===
Upon clicking on the first white circle, one shaking Elizabeth mask will appear. On clicking that, six Elizabeth masks appear while a loud laugh is playing in a loop. Clicking on one mask will result in at least one screamer, so be careful.

* Akeru (First mask): A page of random text with apparently no meaning. There's a loop of a doll called Nihonningyou peeking around a "corner" in the background. Two words of the text are highlighted in a darker red, which will redirect the player to another page. The first link is labelled "Picture matching door" (絵合わせ扉, lit. Eawase tobira), which is just a part of the game's puzzle. There is a door sporting a box with a shattered window. Beside it, is a panel of images of dolls, each with a different colour. The second link is called "ｲchi兎、ﾆﾎﾈ。松ﾑ煤", with no meaning at all. At this link, there's a video called 壱ノ其トンヒノ為ム進 and it has a minor screamer. The video shows Borei running toward the viewer holding a sign that says "進む為のヒントその壱人形の間の先のページをくまなく調べてみてね。クリックできるポイントがあるかも…" ("Hints to help you move forward, Part 1: Look at the pages beyond the doll room. There may be a spot you can click on...").
* Konkon (Second mask): Konkon-san is shown constantly banging at high speed on the player's screen, mouth open but with no scream. "Konkon" (コンコン) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for "bang-bang", "tap-tap" or "knock-knock".
* Utsuru (Third mask): A camera watching a room, and the time of the recording is the same as the clock on the player's computer (if the user changes it). However, at midnight, a shaking face called Nui Kuchi appears.
* Ydad (Fourth mask): There are two doors and infinite babies being flipped while changing colours from blue, yellow, red, and green at a seizure-inducing rate. Clicking on the middle door will not lead to a new page, instead of showing a 'screamer' of a laughing baby.
**Aguodiernihs (Left door): Backwards for "shinreidouga", meaning "ghost video". Clicking on this will take the player to a page with a black background and a pseudo-YouTube video that is 20 seconds, titled "カメラが捉えた恐怖の心霊映像" (lit. "Fear psychic images captured by the camera"). Once played, the video starts with an empty interior of a passenger train or a bus. J-ker briefly appears and disappears, walking through the screen. Static appears for a brief moment, then the J-ker appears walking out of the YouTube video and laughing boisterously (a commonly used sound effect on this website), thus leading the player back to the main page.
** Shoko (Right door): A room with two bookshelves and a door. At the centre, the plate that reads "GALLERY" is shown. Clicking on the door is taken as an attempt to walk to it; the player moves forward, but triggers a trapdoor, falling into a pit of spikes.

* Oiaaeptoiympe (Fifth mask): A door with a five-digit code lock, in which the units are arrows facing in four directions. If the player does too many attempts, a Healthy version of the character "Dorodoro" (not yet in the gallery) fills the screen along with a loud laugh. It isn't part of the game's puzzle and it's just a red herring. The correct code for this is "→←↓↓↑". Entering this code will make the door open and will lead to pieyama.html.

=== pieyama.html ===
The page has a white circle placed in the middle, with the same texture as the dots in main.html. Clicking on it will display a fake browser window, whose only function is the X in the corner. Clicking on the X will close the window and produce a new one. This only works five times, as clicking the last one will result in Pieyama Pie-Man popping up with a loud scream and challenging the user to a fight.

=== Pieyama ===
The fight will begin with Pieyama using 3 skills (rock, paper, scissors) and you also have the same skill just like him. In the case of a draw, a pair of eyes called Aikokun will appear and deal damage to both Pieyama and the player.
* Curse (Sixth mask): Purapura appears accompanied by the same tone as the black screen of death with text at the very end of Japanese VHS tapes with text upside-down that reads '''"NOTICE: This voice signal is a signal especially made for quality control. (It is not abnormal)"''' '''(お知らせ: この音声信号は品箕理用の信号であります。(異常ではありません))''' If the player clicks on her forty-five times, she will become more distorted and the player will be redirected to a screamer. A black page with a text about suicide appears and when it finishes, lots of Windows popups appear reading '''"If you want to be saved, then die..."''' ('''助かりたいなら死ね・・・''') repeatedly, and then Borei appears screaming while she brings her hands to the screen. The text before the screamer appears reads as follows:

<tabber>English=
My constant self-hatred makes me feel nauseous 
If everyday I could compensate my 100% depression into 1% happiness... 
How many more tens of thousands of days do I need to live like this? 
I want to end in a few seconds of pain 

If living is nothing but unreasonable 
Then I think that it's reasonable to die. 
When you die, you won't need to compete with others, you won't need to worry, you won't have responsibilities. 
Before death's eyes, everything about being alive is meaningless 
For people that don't want to live, death is a good way to end it all. 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die...

|-|Japanese=
自己嫌悪の連続で吐き気がする 
１００の憂鬱を１の幸福で補う毎日 
こんな毎日をあと何万日生きたらいい 
数秒の苦痛で終わらせたい 

生きていると理不尽なことばかり 
だから死ぬことが合理的だと思ってしまう 
死ねば人と競争することも苦労することも責任を負う必要も悩む必要もない 
死を目の前に生きている全てのことは無意味よ 
仕方なく生きている人にとって死ねはいい意味で全てが終わる 
助かりたいなら死ね・・・

=== ｃｓづあぽい。ゎおいぐｖ(Chaos) ===
Four fake Chrome windows move on the screen while one is still, and the pictures inside are also moving. The background is red with a flesh-like texture, and is surrounded by brown circles. Clicking on one of the windows will also result in at least one screamer. The windows contain a newspaper, a pair of blinking eyes called Mitsumeru-me, a monochrome heart called Shinzō, and a picture of bacteria.

* eye (Mitsumeru-me): A red-colored text appears that reads: '''"† Voes ne roeiz † Hone kousen de veiuw oss, Yea joen ve reiso … Kazenu oudesu je teo. Lunio sa bietex … Yovari sare omgass heliz de deaoth ! … Sia orev "Oude hyunn syou de quesev je lunedix !" Obenu ouss re teven. Oupos soi raen 20% vasaiz… Vois ord je viex kogea delatte ou jute roela…"''', the text is made up of several different languages and has no meaning. On the left and the right, there are two Betties, and below the text, there's a red variation of Mitsumeru-me blinking rapidly. Clicking on it will redirect the player to a page called "nyanyanyanyahn.html" with a fake YouTube video. Clicking on the video's play button will result in Kuroageha flying toward the camera and breaking the screen. If the player clicks on the broken screen, it will redirect the player to another page with another video with a puzzle. The player must unscramble the ten hiragana characters to proceed. The correct answer is "あなたのうしろにいる" (lit. ''It's behind you'') in the Japanese version. In the English version, several cards are shown very quickly and the player must only enter the numbers of the red cards. It is a part of the game's puzzle and is not a red herring. After putting in the correct answer, the player can enter a door, but it will have a screamer first and then another door appears.
* 9gu0omn0obyea (Shinzō): A black corridor with a black door at the end. If the player clicks on the door, Nata Onna attacks the player with a Nata and kills them. The player will be later redirected again to the website. Inserting a code ("DBDA") and pressing a red button hidden on the page can kill Nata Onna with her spike machine and allow the player to proceed.
* Nikki (Fancy Island Journal): It is the diary of the manager of Fancy Island. The diary expresses how he struggles to live and his crippling sadness. When the player is redirected from a screamer to this page, it won't be called "Manager's Diary" but a "fake diary". On the fifth note, Mandoreiku pops up with loud scream. Every page of the diary reads below:

'''[SCREAMER WARNING]''' '''The following page contains a screamer. After a few seconds, Mandoreiku appears along with a scream.'''

September 18, 2012

Isn't it stupid to be alive? 
Do you want to live just by cutting your body and struggling with your problems? 
Are you having so much fun in life? 
I feel happy only for a moment in my life. 
In the end, it always comes with risks, right? 
No matter what happens, you end up suffering. 
I started to think that seems like happiness is just temporarily 
You work hard for something. 
And then you get it. 
And then you must struggle with it. 

Other people only care about themselves. 
They only work for their own status. 
Helping and being kind is for their own self-satisfaction. 
They want to have friends because they are afraid of being alone. 
They feel the gaze of many people around them who have complex and various thoughts and values, then how could they live an empty life for decades? 
The longer you live, the more overwhelmed you become. 
The longer you live, the more overwhelmed you become, and the more sick you become.
You are abandoned by the family that you trusted the most, and you die.

なんていうかさ、生きてるのって馬鹿みたいじゃない？ 
身を削って苦労してまで生きたい人生なの？ 
そんなに楽しい人生送ってる？ 
人生における素敵な出来事なんて 
幸せだと思えるのはほんの一時だけで 
結局全部後からリスクがくっ付いて回るじゃん？ 
何が起こっても最終的には苦労する羽目になる。 
何かを手に入れる為に頑張って 
その何かを手に入れたとして 
今度はその何かに悩まされ苦労する。 

他人なんて結局は自分が可愛い。 
自分のステータスの為だけのことを考えてみんな動いてる。 
助けたり優しくするのは自己満足のため。 
仲間を欲しがるのは一人が恐いから。

大して面白くもない人生を何十年も生きれる？ 
生きれば生きるほどストレスを溜め疲弊して荒んで最後は病気になり

Every day, I combat 90% of sadness with 10% of happiness... 

If this is how I have to live for the rest of my life, 

I think it's just better to die.

'''TRANSLATOR NOTE (MoekaChiina):''' In the Japanese version the text is full in hiragana. When a text is all in hiragana, it looks childish or shows how someone is going insane/crazy. Hiragana isn't also the correct form to write a full Japanese sentence, so I made it sound wrong in the English version too. The last sentence is typed correctly because in the Japanese version there's kanji and proper grammar.

'''September 23, 2013'''

Since we are alive, we must worry, we must struggle, and we must suffer. 

Is it possible to have happiness every day? 

Even if it's possible, you know... it would be just another little happiness that isn't as large as my everyday troubles. 

With just a single rope and a few seconds, 

I won't have to feel sad anymore.

----

'''二○十三年九月二十三日'''

生きているから悩む、辛い目に遭う、苦労しなきゃいけない

小さな幸せだろう

残りの膨大な時間を悲しまなくていいんだ

* '''Profile (Distorted black and white picture)''': A profile of a person, that according to the website, it's the profile of Lomando's website manager. A border of animated white hands surrounds the profile. If the player clicks on the picture, it will redirect the player to a flash of a Sinitai wobbling her head and text that randomly appears reading '''"I want to die"''' ('''死にたい''') while static sound played.

=== ｊかｈｆしおうお。あｓｄ (Heven) ===
The background is red and has a lot of fake cursors (that confuse the player) that follow the player's cursor, as well as a door in the middle of the screen. If the player clicks the door, Namakubi no Onna drops down to the centre of the screen from the top-left corner. If the player takes too long, Elusive appears along with a moan with the sound of loud footsteps, as the player then gets sent back to the main page. Any attempt to cheat causes a screamer to pop up, though the cheating detector is extremely strict and sometimes the player can get jump scared without cheating.
* In the new version, Elusive does not exist but the same screamer still occurs when the player clicks on the door.

=== ｄヴぃおｋｈｊｃｄｓｌｋふぇ (Eden) ===
This page is similar to heven.html except the background is black, and the door can be clicked on. Taking too long will also result in Elusive appearing the same way, sending the player back to the main page. Different from the "Heven" page, the player can cheat on it. In the new version of Eden, there are two doors. One will lead the user to a frustrating stick maze (similar to one of [[Steady Hand|those]] [[The Maze|games]]) and if the user cheats, Ellis will pop up with a loud laugh.

=== うヴぃうｈｄぱｓ (Paradisky) ===
There are two doors to click on. If the player clicks on the left door, it will show a piece of paper with the four-digit code, 2648, written on it. If the player clicks on the door on the right, a baby corpse (or a human made of meat) will appear on the right, and after a few sections, Ima Socchi pops up with a loud scream. The loud scream from Ima Socchi was replaced by a loud laugh in the new version

=== ふぁんしーあいらんどとっぷ (Topd) ===
This is a fake menu page with four different screamers. If the player does nothing or clicks on anything except for the ad at the top, they will be jumpscared by either the character Ellis (a pale woman with black hair and blood flowing from her eyes and mouth), Konnichiwa (a woman who hangs from the top of the screen with blood running down her arms), and Yamiuchi Ji (a nude ghost man who slices the screen). A screamer featuring Kuwagata Oji-san used to exist but was deleted.

=== Awamsohniptosour ===
NOTE: '''Ellis is served as a distraction for the Oiaaeptoiympe page.''' 
This page is just simply a normal Japanese room with four sliding doors. 3 of them are locked and one is unlocked in room 4th, Kuchisake onna appears twitching and laughing very loudly. If the player doesn't kill her she will send the player to Topd (fake menu page). And if the player walks around enough, they can get the code for the Oiaaeptoiympe page. Kuchisake onna will appear at random sides laughing. In some rooms, Ellis will appear with a laugh, and in the 11th room there will be Japanese words all over the doors and the room will be tinted red, and the user will be sent to Ninghyouma (doll fight).

=== 床の間 (Tokonoma) ===
It's just a normal room with a Japanese doll poster and others. Clicking the left switch will result in Kageboshi appearing and sending the user to a string of jumpscares. If the player clicks both switches, Kubi kushi will appear swinging with a laugh.

=== Atelierdesu ===
It appears to be just a room with a door but the door is blocked by something. Click the side and destroy the painting and the player will see a gun, the user is supposed to click on it. After they move the side again, Tomato Onna appears with loud scream. If the player shoots her, by clicking here, she dies. There's a door behind her. If the player does not shoot her, she'll "kill" the player.

=== Astceilsiseorrs ===
An [[Wikipedia:Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]]-styled 404 page is shown, then the screen turns black and 404'san appears, snipping her scissors. Once the player shoots her, they will see a door.

=== Ima3yaruk62oc ===
It's a maze, similar to [[The Maze]]. The player must navigate the maze to proceed, though there are two screamers in the maze that will kill them. A map of the maze is shown in the corner, though it vanishes in a few seconds. Yamiuchi Ji appears to beat the player with a growl and Ellis may also appear with a loud laugh. If the player doesn't kill them they will send the user back to main.html.

=== Ykoaaomgoanri ===
A dark room with a text that says three more. Waiting for too long will result in Ellis popping up with loud scream appearing at a random side, the player shoots her and they will be led to kaidan1.

=== Kaidan1 ===
A staircase leads the user to the basement. They will face two screamers, in the middle of walking down the stairs, Shinshutsukibotsu appears and tries to kill the player, shooting her. When the player faces the right side after walking downstairs, Tomato Onna appears again and tries to kill the user. But there is also Akai Sukato no Onnanoko may also appear, but the player must not shoot them or they will be sent to an endless staircase.

=== 7diackii2 ===
Downstairs the player will see a cassette tape. As the user plays it a high-pitched voice (people who lost at this site) can be heard. As the voice says the password of the next door is 4, 1, 2 it is interrupted by Pieyama MK2. He distracts the viewer with a roar while breaking the tape and then his laugh can be heard. As the player moves a code poster on the wall appears. If the player goes to a basement, it leads the user to Ujinoma.

=== Ujinoma ===
On the page, a hanged body covered in maggots (presumably Yukihito himself) appears with a door and dark staircase. Clicking the dark staircase will lead the user to ikiammadem.html where there is a wall of eyes (hokora1.html) but it's blocked by Kageboshi. She will send the player to otyejlnieobt.html. The walls are covered in drawings, possibly made with blood. The floor and the hanging body are covered in maggots. The door has a code lock on it.

=== Otyejlnieobt ===
The bathroom (with 3 stalls). While exploring, they will face two screamers (Obii Kubi the falling head, and Kubishime Onna). Either Obii Kubi or Kubishime Onna will appear, and the player must shoot them to not be sent to aguodiernihs.html. There would be 3 puzzles (a poster, mirror, and wooden plank). There is a door that leads the player to mmeaizreo.html, but a key is needed to open it. There is also an easter egg where a stuffed bear is sitting on the toilet.

=== Mmeaizreo ===
You are in the hallway with a dark rectangle (continuation) and as the user made through a T junction appears and there is a laugh sound played and noh mask with spikes appears. The correct way is "L-R-L-R-R-L-R-L-R-L-U-L-R", then the user must avoid two ghosts including J-ker and Kubishime Onna. If the player gets impaled by the spikes or gets killed by Kubishime Onna or J-ker, the player will be redirected to main.html, and as the player finishes, will lead to hokora1.html.

=== Cfoaansctyer ===
The room has a roller coaster. Upon clicking the coaster, text appears stating that the coaster is equipped with a machine gun, and asks the player if they would like to ride it. If the player selects yes, they will ride the coaster but will have to destroy several obstacles (boxes, Beam Eyes, and Crows) to survive the ride. When the player completes the ride, they will be able to access Maamokeznefg.html through a door.

=== Maamokeznefg ===
This page has a door sealed by powerful magic, and to unlock it, the player must defeat enemies Eyedaddy and Ichimatsuko. Their battles can be accessed by clicking on paintings of them next to the door.

=== Agoepseayirrt ===
The final boss has no screamer, just a boss fight with Pieyama god. If the player takes too long kill the Guardi-eye. Pieyama god will kill the player and decrease their health. If the player loses, The player will be redirected to main.html Kill him and they have a door. Have a correct code and the player will lead to the gallery.

=== Twinklegallery ===
This is a normal gallery with two additional character images (the character I mean is Mukadeobake and Tamoru). The player then realized that there is a gibberish caption on the gallery master photo until the player clicks her photo, she then floats out from the photo with a loud laugh and the user can kill her by shotgun (similar to the old version) and there is a door with a required password. The password is:
Numerical Slider: [2] [6]
Colored Eyes: (Yellow, top, and Blue, bottom)
Japanese Slider: 59. (all numbers are set to zero)

=== Extra page ===
'''Psychoarc.''' An old version of psycho.html. It displays nine psychedelics coming out of coloured doors or panels. The Psychedelic in the centre is the largest, and upon clicking it, it will move rapidly around the screen.

=== Fire-ice-dia-brain-jugem ===
It is a string of jumpscares with many ways to access it.
* Fire: Pieyama Pie-Man
* Ice: Nihonningyou
* Dia: Ima Socchi
* Brain: Konkon-san
* Jugem: Mandoreiku

== Mobile version ==
This is another version that does support HTML5 instead of Flash but has sound.

=== Smpindex.html ===
A fake menu page was the same just as the start page and there was an English translation for the page. Clicking on the Mimi image will lead the user to a warning about the game and clicking the curtain will lead the player to smpmain.html

=== Smpmain.html ===
This page is almost identical to Main.html, but there are a few differences. Ookamuro is bouncing instead of staying still, and there are four dots instead of five.

=== Smpelibon.html ===
This page can be reached by clicking the first dot or mirror in Smpmain.html. It is the mobile version of Elizabeth.html. The page has four Elizabeths moving back and forth, and clicking on them will lead the user to different pages:

=== First mask ===
The first mask is the same as Akeru.html, but the player will be jump scared by Pieyama with a loud scream.

=== Second mask ===
The second mask is similar to Konkon.html, but Konkon-san slams the user's screen faster and shakes, and the background is red instead of black.

=== Baby ===
This page is similar to ydad.html and has 3 doors. The first door leads to a jumpscare featuring Cursed Baby. Clicking the second door will lead the user to smpshoko.html and the third door has jumpscare at 0:07 in the video where J-ker would burst out from the screen and jumpscare and kills the user.

=== Fourth mask ===
This page is a mobile version of Curse.html.

=== Smpkagamin.html ===
This page can be reached by clicking the second dot or mirror in Smpmain.html. It shows 3 mirrors on a purple background, similar to the mirrors on the Cursed Doll variation of Main.html. The first mirror leads the player to Smpprofile.html, the second leads to Smpeyekotoba.html, and the third leads to Smpnikki.html.

=== Smpprofile ===
It shows the same information but the manager's photo was changed into Kanrinin no Yorishiro (a new character and her eyes were rolled backward in the painting version) clicking on her photo will result in Sinitai appearing but the static noise is not repeated.

=== Smpnikki ===
It shows a diary (an old one about a depressed manager and a new one about a haunted theme park) the last diary June 16, 2009, a short text appears typing and then the screen fades into silence but suddenly Kanrinin no Yorishiro rises from below with loud laugh and she kills the player.

=== Smpeyekotoba ===
A blue variation of Mitsumeru-me appears at the top of the page, blinking. Two halves of Betty are shown on the sides of the page, and in between them text reading "'''うしろのしょうめんだぁれ？'''" '''(English: What's that behind you?)''' can be seen. This question has no actual purpose but to confuse the player, and the answer to the question is Smpsecretarea. By entering this into the question box, the player will be directed to Smpsecretarea.html. However, the player can enter any valid smartphone link into the box and be directed to that page and can take advantage of this to reach the end of the game quickly.

=== Smpdoor.html ===
This page shows twenty-five doors. Clicking any door other than the 18th door will result in a jumpscare, and the 18th door contains a note that is a part of the code for Smpeyekotoba.html. The jumpscares consist of:

* '''Elusive''' indoors 1, 5, 7, 13, and 15

* '''Doemon and Ima Socchi''' indoors 2, 4, 22, and 24

* '''Ellis''' indoors 3, 8, 11, 15, and 23

* '''Namakubi no Onna''' in doors 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20

=== Fourth dot ===
Yukie suddenly crawls toward the screen with a loud moaning sound.

=== Smpsecretarea ===
The page itself has an image of Oshiroi and a single rainbow door. Clicking on it will lead the user to Smprandomd.

=== Smprandomd ===
The background is a rapid sequence of images taken around Japan, and there is a door in the middle of the page. Clicking on it will display either Mandoreiku, Konkon-san, or Purapura. It can also lead the user to the Yukan no Shonen puzzle or Smpdtakingame.

=== Smpreituber.html ===
This is the mobile version of Yukan no Shonen's hiragana puzzle.

=== Smpdtakingame ===
It will show 3 doors. The middle door will result in a screamer and two have a puzzle to solve.

=== Smpoohiroma ===
This is the mobile version of Awamsohniptosour.html. It is very similar to its desktop version, except Nata Onna's blade is lying on the floor in the first room and the walking and sliding door sound is different. Clicking the second room door will result in Dai kuchisake-onna appearing with a loud laugh. She will kill the user if they do not slash her quickly with the hatchet. Then, the player can proceed to Smpningyou.html, where they must slash fifthteen dolls in 40 seconds. If they fail, the middle Nihonningyou will kill the visitor.

=== Smpmysteryroom ===
There is a wall with many cockroaches crawling on it. In the end, there is a door. Clicking on the door will send the user to Smppieyama.

=== Smppieyama ===
There is a door clicking on it that will result in Pieyama Pie-Man jumpscares the viewer with loud scream. And then the same fight begins but if the player has more HP than him, the player wins.

=== Smpmoanzee1 ===
This page is a maze similar to mmeaizreo.html. There are two arrows pointing left and right, which the player will use to navigate the maze. If they do not go the right way, they will either be strangled to death by Kubishime Onna or beaten by Yamiuchi Ji. The correct path is left, right, left, right, right, left, right, left, right, left, up, left, right. At the end of the maze, a door appears and will send the player to smprtdwmod.html. On this page, Tomato Onna can be seen in a mirror, and clicking on it will send the player to smpatelier.html.

=== Smpatelier.html ===
This page is the mobile version of Atelierdesu.html, displaying a grey room with a woman sitting on a chair in the middle, with her back turned to the viewer. She sits in front of a door. There are two white arrow buttons, which lead to different paintings of Psychedelic and Kanrinin no Yorishiro. One of the paintings has a shotgun. The player must get the shotgun, and when they turn back to the room Tomato Onna will jumpscare the player with a loud laugh. The player must shoot her with the shotgun to proceed through the door, which leads to Smpstrangespace.html (the gallery).

=== Smpstrangespace ===
After beating the game, the page itself has photos of characters with another easter egg where Gallery Master will float towards the viewer with a loud laugh.

== "Arc" Pages ==
"Arc" pages were a series of nine pages that were the original and shorter version of Lomando. Their titles began with a number 1-9 followed by "arc" (short for "archive"). They have all been deleted and now are only accessible via the Wayback Machine. All of the pages except 9arcgallery.html used Flash and do not work due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash Player.

=== 1arcfancytop.html ===
This was the old version of the top page. It features an image of Generation 1 Mimi (identical in function to the current top page's Mimi) and a promotional banner. Clicking on Generation 1 Mimi or the banner will redirect the user to 2arcfancymain.html.

=== 2arcfancymain.html ===
This page was the old version of Main.html. Instead of Ookamuro, Mitsumeru Onna was displayed in the centre of the page with repeating text below her that read "'''ごめんなさい" (English: I'm sorry)'''. There were four black squares below the text, similar to the white dots in the current version of Main.html.

=== 3arcsemaru.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the first square in 2arcfancymain.html. Mitsumeru Onna will approach the screen and face the user with a giggle. The screen will then fade into crimson, and the user will be redirected to 1arcfancytop.html.

=== 4arconinoma.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the second square in 2arcfancymain.html. A pair of blue eyes surrounded by red flesh (called Oni no me) can be seen along with a question box. The text above the box reads "(うしろのしょうめんだあれ?" ("What's that behind you?"). If the player enters the correct password, "あかいにんぎょう" ("Red doll"), a door will appear, leading to 8arcningyounoma.html. If an incorrect password is entered, a larger version of Oni no me will appear and jumpscare the player with a loud growl and laugh. This does not kill the player, however, and only resets the password box.

=== 5arcyajirushihidari.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the third square in 2arcfancymain.html. It is very similar to Heven.html, but Elusive does not appear on the page. Clicking on the door with the correct cursor will still cause Namakubi no Onna to appear.

=== 6arcyajirushimigi.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the fourth square in 2arcfancymain.html. It's nearly identical to 5arcyajirushihidari.html, except the background is black and Namakubi no Onna is not present. Clicking on the door with the correct cursor will redirect the player to 7arcfusmanoma.html.

=== 7arcfusmanoma.html ===
It's very similar to Paradisky.html, but the text in the note is different. Two grey fusuma doors can be seen. Clicking the left door will display a note with the password for 4arcninoma.html, "'''あかいにんぎょう'''". Clicking the right door displays Doemon, and Ima Socchi will appear a few seconds later.

=== 8arcningyounoma.html ===
This page was the early version of ningyounoma.html. Slicing all of the dolls will reveal a door that leads to 9arcgallery.html, and failing to do so will cause Nihonningyou to jump scare the player and lead them back to 2arcfancymain.html.

=== 9arcgallery.html ===
This page is a much shorter version of the gallery, containing only characters that were used in the Arc series and one bonus character. The gallery consists of the following:

* Generation 1 Mimi
* Mitsumeru Onna
* Oni no me
* Namakubi no Onna
* Doemon
* Ima Socchi
* Nihonningyou
* Nihonningyou (beheaded)
* Nyami (Halloween version)

lomando.com is a Japanese [[screamer]] website made by Shisso-kanrinin (Mousoumanager, Nohito, and fantasy person). It's also called Fancy Island (ふぁんしーあいらんど).

This website starts off being normal, but when the player (now plays as the Visitor (訪問者 hōmonsha, lit. "visit person") clicks the [[Mimi]] image with the site's logo (as seen in the infobox), the site then warns the user that since it's scary, it's not recommended for those people who suffer from heart problems and seizures when clicking the image below, they will be redirected to the same site, but now it has a door. The player can click on it and they will meet three cursed dolls or Dai Kamuro (Ookamuro) staring at the viewer accompanied by an eerie ambience playing in the background. Five clickable white circles (or four mirrors) are placed in the bottom-left corner. When the player clicks on the fifth, Yukie will pop up and crawl towards the camera along with a scream/moan.

This site strangely contains a story, and when the player goes deeper into it, the player will fight the final boss the Pieyama God, and finally complete the "game". There are a lot of puzzles, mazes, and different screamers on the website, most are totally unexpected. The game story is basically about heavy themes like paranoia, suicidal thoughts, and depression. It can be listed as "Utsu ge" (Utsu ge means "depressing game". The purpose of these types of games is to depress the player) or just as a typical horror game. Even if the site has lots of screamers, it can also be considered a (horror) puzzle game since almost every part of the site has a puzzle or is part of one.

On the famous Japanese video-sharing website Niconico, Fancy Island/Lomando became an internet meme and is frequently used as a source in MAD videos (otoMAD/MAD videos are the Japanese YTPMV), there are lots of fanart on Pixiv too.

A short expansion of the game, titled "[[Deep Fancy Island]]", was released on January 6th, 2023.
==Plot==
==Plot==
The game also contains hints that reveal a complex and fascinating backstory that took place before the events of the game. The story of Lomando.com likely originated in 2011, with Chaos.html containing a swirling newspaper that details events before the game. The backstory begins with Yukihito, the creator of Fancy Island, an amusement park with a mascot character named Mimi. Yukihito wrote in two diaries, "The Manager's Journal" and "The Theory of Wanting to Die" which revealed his spiral into depression and suicidal thoughts. In August 2009, Fancy Island opened but was soon hit by a contagious virus outbreak, forcing it to close. Guilt-ridden and remorseful, Yukihito retreated from public life and continued writing in his diary about his nightmares and suicidal thoughts. Yukihito died under mysterious circumstances on April 4th, 2010. Some of his diary entries were added after his death, with one revealing that he had contemplated suicide. After the closure of the park due to the virus outbreak, the abandoned amusement park was taken over by various hostile ghosts, including Yukihito's soul. Pieyama God claimed the park and tried to kill anyone who entered, while many other ghosts either tried to kill or scare visitors. Only a few were friendly. The exterior of the park retained its friendly decorations to lure people in, while the interior was transformed into a bloodier haunted house aesthetic. During this time, a ghost woman named Ellis possessed a former employee of the park, a white cat named Nekoshow, and turned it into a demonized version called Nekomata.

The haunted amusement park drew the attention of a researcher investigating paranormal activity and the missing park visitors. The researcher vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a recorder. While exploring the park, the researcher discovered a room with a cryptic passcode written on the wall, which they read out loud before their recording abruptly ended. Later, the player enters the amusement park, fighting off hostile ghosts and eventually freeing Nekoshow from the possession of the malevolent spirit, Ellis.

== The site content ==
As mentioned earlier, before clicking on [[Mimi]]'s photo, the site seems normal, even kind of cute. In addition, the site also has a panel just to introduce the "characters" from the game. Its design can change during New Year and Christmas, and the player can get a special event on the same day.
However, while it may seem harmless from the start, there are some easter eggs on it. Those will be listed below.
* If the player presses either the 'Next' or 'Return' button too many times on the character panel, Gallery Master will appear: The character description is replaced with only "あああああああああああああああああああああああ" and the panel will turn black. Also, instead of a character picture, there will be an eye on her face staring at the viewer along with a loud laugh, which leads to main.html.
[[File:LomandoSanta.png|thumb|Santa Claus.]]
* CHRISTMAS EVENT ONLY: During Christmas, if the player clicks on the Santa Claus picture in the above-left corner the player will be redirected to xmaschallenge.html and then Santa Claus pops up telling the player to choose the three presents If the player picks the wrong presents Santa Claus will become distorted. After this, a compilation of screamers will pop up while the screams are singing Jingle Bells. And the player will be redirected to main.html.
**In xmaschallenge.html, It shows Santa Claus on a desk with three presents that can contain a total of five prizes that Santa will describe and show the viewer; a full list of the prizes can be found here. Sometimes, when the user clicks one of the presents, Santa Claus will become distorted and a Rush event will occur that remixes the same song with screamers. After this, the player will be redirected to main.html.
[[File:Oshowgatsu.png|thumb|New Years event.]]
* NEW YEAR EVENT ONLY: During the new year, if the player clicks on the Mimi with a yukata below the site, the player will be redirected to another flash animation. Mimi is in a sanctuary while dressing in a yukata, and tells that she will read the player's new year's fortune if they put their donation in the box. After the player clicks on the box, Mimi will shake the cup and there will be two results: one is bad luck and one is good luck. If the player got good luck (white paper), nothing happens and the player can try again. However, if the player got bad luck (black paper), lots of screamers will pop up and after it, the player will be redirected to the "dark side" of the website, in a new version of this event, the player can see Yukatan is not even at there and skips into a new version of it, Mimi will tell the user to drop the coin into the donation box if it's a white paper with different letters (if it's pink, Mimi would be excited) if the user tries that again and receives a black paper, everything will turn black and then Mukadeobake, Dai kuchisake-onna, Sansuzumume, Kubishime-onna, Mandoreiku, Ellis (Erisu) will pop up in rapid succession with loud scream-singing song.

And finally, if the player clicks on Mimi's picture, the player will be redirected to the "game". There is a list of every consequence for clicking on the buttons below Ookamuro.

=== あｓぢｌんｈｃｋｊｄさ (Elizabeth) ===
Upon clicking on the first white circle, one shaking Elizabeth mask will appear. On clicking that, six Elizabeth masks appear while a loud laugh is playing in a loop. Clicking on one mask will result in at least one screamer, so be careful.

* Akeru (First mask): A page of random text with apparently no meaning. There's a loop of a doll called Nihonningyou peeking around a "corner" in the background. Two words of the text are highlighted in a darker red, which will redirect the player to another page. The first link is labelled "Picture matching door" (絵合わせ扉, lit. Eawase tobira), which is just a part of the game's puzzle. There is a door sporting a box with a shattered window. Beside it, is a panel of images of dolls, each with a different colour. The second link is called "ｲchi兎、ﾆﾎﾈ。松ﾑ煤", with no meaning at all. At this link, there's a video called 壱ノ其トンヒノ為ム進 and it has a minor screamer. The video shows Borei running toward the viewer holding a sign that says "進む為のヒントその壱人形の間の先のページをくまなく調べてみてね。クリックできるポイントがあるかも…" ("Hints to help you move forward, Part 1: Look at the pages beyond the doll room. There may be a spot you can click on...").
* Konkon (Second mask): Konkon-san is shown constantly banging at high speed on the player's screen, mouth open but with no scream. "Konkon" (コンコン) is a Japanese onomatopoeia for "bang-bang", "tap-tap" or "knock-knock".
* Utsuru (Third mask): A camera watching a room, and the time of the recording is the same as the clock on the player's computer (if the user changes it). However, at midnight, a shaking face called Nui Kuchi appears.
* Ydad (Fourth mask): There are two doors and infinite babies being flipped while changing colours from blue, yellow, red, and green at a seizure-inducing rate. Clicking on the middle door will not lead to a new page, instead of showing a 'screamer' of a laughing baby.
**Aguodiernihs (Left door): Backwards for "shinreidouga", meaning "ghost video". Clicking on this will take the player to a page with a black background and a pseudo-YouTube video that is 20 seconds, titled "カメラが捉えた恐怖の心霊映像" (lit. "Fear psychic images captured by the camera"). Once played, the video starts with an empty interior of a passenger train or a bus. J-ker briefly appears and disappears, walking through the screen. Static appears for a brief moment, then the J-ker appears walking out of the YouTube video and laughing boisterously (a commonly used sound effect on this website), thus leading the player back to the main page.
** Shoko (Right door): A room with two bookshelves and a door. At the centre, the plate that reads "GALLERY" is shown. Clicking on the door is taken as an attempt to walk to it; the player moves forward, but triggers a trapdoor, falling into a pit of spikes.

* Oiaaeptoiympe (Fifth mask): A door with a five-digit code lock, in which the units are arrows facing in four directions. If the player does too many attempts, a Healthy version of the character "Dorodoro" (not yet in the gallery) fills the screen along with a loud laugh. It isn't part of the game's puzzle and it's just a red herring. The correct code for this is "→←↓↓↑". Entering this code will make the door open and will lead to pieyama.html.

=== pieyama.html ===
The page has a white circle placed in the middle, with the same texture as the dots in main.html. Clicking on it will display a fake browser window, whose only function is the X in the corner. Clicking on the X will close the window and produce a new one. This only works five times, as clicking the last one will result in Pieyama Pie-Man popping up with a loud scream and challenging the user to a fight.

=== Pieyama ===
The fight will begin with Pieyama using 3 skills (rock, paper, scissors) and you also have the same skill just like him. In the case of a draw, a pair of eyes called Aikokun will appear and deal damage to both Pieyama and the player.
* Curse (Sixth mask): Purapura appears accompanied by the same tone as the black screen of death with text at the very end of Japanese VHS tapes with text upside-down that reads '''"NOTICE: This voice signal is a signal especially made for quality control. (It is not abnormal)"''' '''(お知らせ: この音声信号は品箕理用の信号であります。(異常ではありません))''' If the player clicks on her forty-five times, she will become more distorted and the player will be redirected to a screamer. A black page with a text about suicide appears and when it finishes, lots of Windows popups appear reading '''"If you want to be saved, then die..."''' ('''助かりたいなら死ね・・・''') repeatedly, and then Borei appears screaming while she brings her hands to the screen. The text before the screamer appears reads as follows:

<tabber>English=
My constant self-hatred makes me feel nauseous 
If everyday I could compensate my 100% depression into 1% happiness... 
How many more tens of thousands of days do I need to live like this? 
I want to end in a few seconds of pain 

If living is nothing but unreasonable 
Then I think that it's reasonable to die. 
When you die, you won't need to compete with others, you won't need to worry, you won't have responsibilities. 
Before death's eyes, everything about being alive is meaningless 
For people that don't want to live, death is a good way to end it all. 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die... 
If you want to be saved, then die...

|-|Japanese=
自己嫌悪の連続で吐き気がする 
１００の憂鬱を１の幸福で補う毎日 
こんな毎日をあと何万日生きたらいい 
数秒の苦痛で終わらせたい 

生きていると理不尽なことばかり 
だから死ぬことが合理的だと思ってしまう 
死ねば人と競争することも苦労することも責任を負う必要も悩む必要もない 
死を目の前に生きている全てのことは無意味よ 
仕方なく生きている人にとって死ねはいい意味で全てが終わる 
助かりたいなら死ね・・・ 
助かりたいなら死ね・・・ 
助かりたいなら死ね・・・ 
助かりたいなら死ね・・・ 
助かりたいなら死ね・・・

=== ｃｓづあぽい。ゎおいぐｖ(Chaos) ===
Four fake Chrome windows move on the screen while one is still, and the pictures inside are also moving. The background is red with a flesh-like texture, and is surrounded by brown circles. Clicking on one of the windows will also result in at least one screamer. The windows contain a newspaper, a pair of blinking eyes called Mitsumeru-me, a monochrome heart called Shinzō, and a picture of bacteria.

* eye (Mitsumeru-me): A red-colored text appears that reads: '''"† Voes ne roeiz † Hone kousen de veiuw oss, Yea joen ve reiso … Kazenu oudesu je teo. Lunio sa bietex … Yovari sare omgass heliz de deaoth ! … Sia orev "Oude hyunn syou de quesev je lunedix !" Obenu ouss re teven. Oupos soi raen 20% vasaiz… Vois ord je viex kogea delatte ou jute roela…"''', the text is made up of several different languages and has no meaning. On the left and the right, there are two Betties, and below the text, there's a red variation of Mitsumeru-me blinking rapidly. Clicking on it will redirect the player to a page called "nyanyanyanyahn.html" with a fake YouTube video. Clicking on the video's play button will result in Kuroageha flying toward the camera and breaking the screen. If the player clicks on the broken screen, it will redirect the player to another page with another video with a puzzle. The player must unscramble the ten hiragana characters to proceed. The correct answer is "あなたのうしろにいる" (lit. ''It's behind you'') in the Japanese version. In the English version, several cards are shown very quickly and the player must only enter the numbers of the red cards. It is a part of the game's puzzle and is not a red herring. After putting in the correct answer, the player can enter a door, but it will have a screamer first and then another door appears.
* 9gu0omn0obyea (Shinzō): A black corridor with a black door at the end. If the player clicks on the door, Nata Onna attacks the player with a Nata and kills them. The player will be later redirected again to the website. Inserting a code ("DBDA") and pressing a red button hidden on the page can kill Nata Onna with her spike machine and allow the player to proceed.
* Nikki (Fancy Island Journal): It is the diary of the manager of Fancy Island. The diary expresses how he struggles to live and his crippling sadness. When the player is redirected from a screamer to this page, it won't be called "Manager's Diary" but a "fake diary". On the fifth note, Mandoreiku pops up with loud scream. Every page of the diary reads below:

'''[SCREAMER WARNING]''' '''The following page contains a screamer. After a few seconds, Mandoreiku appears along with a scream.'''

September 18, 2012

Isn't it stupid to be alive? 
Do you want to live just by cutting your body and struggling with your problems? 
Are you having so much fun in life? 
I feel happy only for a moment in my life. 
In the end, it always comes with risks, right? 
No matter what happens, you end up suffering. 
I started to think that seems like happiness is just temporarily 
You work hard for something. 
And then you get it. 
And then you must struggle with it. 

Other people only care about themselves. 
They only work for their own status. 
Helping and being kind is for their own self-satisfaction. 
They want to have friends because they are afraid of being alone. 
They feel the gaze of many people around them who have complex and various thoughts and values, then how could they live an empty life for decades? 
The longer you live, the more overwhelmed you become. 
The longer you live, the more overwhelmed you become, and the more sick you become.
You are abandoned by the family that you trusted the most, and you die.

なんていうかさ、生きてるのって馬鹿みたいじゃない？ 
身を削って苦労してまで生きたい人生なの？ 
そんなに楽しい人生送ってる？ 
人生における素敵な出来事なんて 
幸せだと思えるのはほんの一時だけで 
結局全部後からリスクがくっ付いて回るじゃん？ 
何が起こっても最終的には苦労する羽目になる。 
何かを手に入れる為に頑張って 
その何かを手に入れたとして 
今度はその何かに悩まされ苦労する。 

他人なんて結局は自分が可愛い。 
自分のステータスの為だけのことを考えてみんな動いてる。 
助けたり優しくするのは自己満足のため。 
仲間を欲しがるのは一人が恐いから。 
複雑で様々な思考・価値観を持つ大勢の人間の視線を周囲に感じながら 
大して面白くもない人生を何十年も生きれる？ 
生きれば生きるほどストレスを溜め疲弊して荒んで最後は病気になり 
一番信じていた家族に疎まれ死んでいく。

'''TRANSLATOR NOTE (MoekaChiina):''' In the Japanese version the text is full in hiragana. When a text is all in hiragana, it looks childish or shows how someone is going insane/crazy. Hiragana isn't also the correct form to write a full Japanese sentence, so I made it sound wrong in the English version too. The last sentence is typed correctly because in the Japanese version there's kanji and proper grammar.

* '''Profile (Distorted black and white picture)''': A profile of a person, that according to the website, it's the profile of Lomando's website manager. A border of animated white hands surrounds the profile. If the player clicks on the picture, it will redirect the player to a flash of a Sinitai wobbling her head and text that randomly appears reading '''"I want to die"''' ('''死にたい''') while static sound played.

=== ｊかｈｆしおうお。あｓｄ (Heven) ===
The background is red and has a lot of fake cursors (that confuse the player) that follow the player's cursor, as well as a door in the middle of the screen. If the player clicks the door, Namakubi no Onna drops down to the centre of the screen from the top-left corner. If the player takes too long, Elusive appears along with a moan with the sound of loud footsteps, as the player then gets sent back to the main page. Any attempt to cheat causes a screamer to pop up, though the cheating detector is extremely strict and sometimes the player can get jump scared without cheating.
* In the new version, Elusive does not exist but the same screamer still occurs when the player clicks on the door.

=== ｄヴぃおｋｈｊｃｄｓｌｋふぇ (Eden) ===
This page is similar to heven.html except the background is black, and the door can be clicked on. Taking too long will also result in Elusive appearing the same way, sending the player back to the main page. Different from the "Heven" page, the player can cheat on it. In the new version of Eden, there are two doors. One will lead the user to a frustrating stick maze (similar to one of [[Steady Hand|those]] [[The Maze|games]]) and if the user cheats, Ellis will pop up with a loud laugh.

=== うヴぃうｈｄぱｓ (Paradisky) ===
There are two doors to click on. If the player clicks on the left door, it will show a piece of paper with the four-digit code, 2648, written on it. If the player clicks on the door on the right, a baby corpse (or a human made of meat) will appear on the right, and after a few sections, Ima Socchi pops up with a loud scream. The loud scream from Ima Socchi was replaced by a loud laugh in the new version

=== ふぁんしーあいらんどとっぷ (Topd) ===
This is a fake menu page with four different screamers. If the player does nothing or clicks on anything except for the ad at the top, they will be jumpscared by either the character Ellis (a pale woman with black hair and blood flowing from her eyes and mouth), Konnichiwa (a woman who hangs from the top of the screen with blood running down her arms), and Yamiuchi Ji (a nude ghost man who slices the screen). A screamer featuring Kuwagata Oji-san used to exist but was deleted.

=== Awamsohniptosour ===
NOTE: '''Ellis is served as a distraction for the Oiaaeptoiympe page.''' 
This page is just simply a normal Japanese room with four sliding doors. 3 of them are locked and one is unlocked in room 4th, Kuchisake onna appears twitching and laughing very loudly. If the player doesn't kill her she will send the player to Topd (fake menu page). And if the player walks around enough, they can get the code for the Oiaaeptoiympe page. Kuchisake onna will appear at random sides laughing. In some rooms, Ellis will appear with a laugh, and in the 11th room there will be Japanese words all over the doors and the room will be tinted red, and the user will be sent to Ninghyouma (doll fight).

=== 床の間 (Tokonoma) ===
It's just a normal room with a Japanese doll poster and others. Clicking the left switch will result in Kageboshi appearing and sending the user to a string of jumpscares. If the player clicks both switches, Kubi kushi will appear swinging with a laugh.

=== Atelierdesu ===
It appears to be just a room with a door but the door is blocked by something. Click the side and destroy the painting and the player will see a gun, the user is supposed to click on it. After they move the side again, Tomato Onna appears with loud scream. If the player shoots her, by clicking here, she dies. There's a door behind her. If the player does not shoot her, she'll "kill" the player.

=== Astceilsiseorrs ===
An [[Wikipedia:Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer]]-styled 404 page is shown, then the screen turns black and 404'san appears, snipping her scissors. Once the player shoots her, they will see a door.

=== Ima3yaruk62oc ===
It's a maze, similar to [[The Maze]]. The player must navigate the maze to proceed, though there are two screamers in the maze that will kill them. A map of the maze is shown in the corner, though it vanishes in a few seconds. Yamiuchi Ji appears to beat the player with a growl and Ellis may also appear with a loud laugh. If the player doesn't kill them they will send the user back to main.html.

=== Ykoaaomgoanri ===
A dark room with a text that says three more. Waiting for too long will result in Ellis popping up with loud scream appearing at a random side, the player shoots her and they will be led to kaidan1.

=== Kaidan1 ===
A staircase leads the user to the basement. They will face two screamers, in the middle of walking down the stairs, Shinshutsukibotsu appears and tries to kill the player, shooting her. When the player faces the right side after walking downstairs, Tomato Onna appears again and tries to kill the user. But there is also Akai Sukato no Onnanoko may also appear, but the player must not shoot them or they will be sent to an endless staircase.

=== 7diackii2 ===
Downstairs the player will see a cassette tape. As the user plays it a high-pitched voice (people who lost at this site) can be heard. As the voice says the password of the next door is 4, 1, 2 it is interrupted by Pieyama MK2. He distracts the viewer with a roar while breaking the tape and then his laugh can be heard. As the player moves a code poster on the wall appears. If the player goes to a basement, it leads the user to Ujinoma.

=== Ujinoma ===
On the page, a hanged body covered in maggots (presumably Yukihito himself) appears with a door and dark staircase. Clicking the dark staircase will lead the user to ikiammadem.html where there is a wall of eyes (hokora1.html) but it's blocked by Kageboshi. She will send the player to otyejlnieobt.html. The walls are covered in drawings, possibly made with blood. The floor and the hanging body are covered in maggots. The door has a code lock on it.

=== Otyejlnieobt ===
The bathroom (with 3 stalls). While exploring, they will face two screamers (Obii Kubi the falling head, and Kubishime Onna). Either Obii Kubi or Kubishime Onna will appear, and the player must shoot them to not be sent to aguodiernihs.html. There would be 3 puzzles (a poster, mirror, and wooden plank). There is a door that leads the player to mmeaizreo.html, but a key is needed to open it. There is also an easter egg where a stuffed bear is sitting on the toilet.

=== Mmeaizreo ===
You are in the hallway with a dark rectangle (continuation) and as the user made through a T junction appears and there is a laugh sound played and noh mask with spikes appears. The correct way is "L-R-L-R-R-L-R-L-R-L-U-L-R", then the user must avoid two ghosts including J-ker and Kubishime Onna. If the player gets impaled by the spikes or gets killed by Kubishime Onna or J-ker, the player will be redirected to main.html, and as the player finishes, will lead to hokora1.html.

=== Cfoaansctyer ===
The room has a roller coaster. Upon clicking the coaster, text appears stating that the coaster is equipped with a machine gun, and asks the player if they would like to ride it. If the player selects yes, they will ride the coaster but will have to destroy several obstacles (boxes, Beam Eyes, and Crows) to survive the ride. When the player completes the ride, they will be able to access Maamokeznefg.html through a door.

=== Maamokeznefg ===
This page has a door sealed by powerful magic, and to unlock it, the player must defeat enemies Eyedaddy and Ichimatsuko. Their battles can be accessed by clicking on paintings of them next to the door.

=== Agoepseayirrt ===

If the player loses, The player will be redirected to main.html Kill him and they have a door. Have a correct code and the player will lead to the gallery.

=== Twinklegallery ===
This is a normal gallery with two additional character images (the character I mean is Mukadeobake and Tamoru). The player then realized that there is a gibberish caption on the gallery master photo until the player clicks her photo, she then floats out from the photo with a loud laugh and the user can kill her by shotgun (similar to the old version) and there is a door with a required password. The password is:
Numerical Slider: [2] [6]
Colored Eyes: (Yellow, top, and Blue, bottom)
Japanese Slider: 59. (all numbers are set to zero)

* Brain: Konkon-san
* Jugem: Mandoreiku

== Mobile version ==
This is another version that does support HTML5 instead of Flash but has sound.

=== Smpindex.html ===
A fake menu page was the same just as the start page and there was an English translation for the page. Clicking on the Mimi image will lead the user to a warning about the game and clicking the curtain will lead the player to smpmain.html

=== Smpmain.html ===
This page is almost identical to Main.html, but there are a few differences. Ookamuro is bouncing instead of staying still, and there are four dots instead of five.

=== Smpelibon.html ===
This page can be reached by clicking the first dot or mirror in Smpmain.html. It is the mobile version of Elizabeth.html. The page has four Elizabeths moving back and forth, and clicking on them will lead the user to different pages:

=== First mask ===
The first mask is the same as Akeru.html, but the player will be jump scared by Pieyama with a loud scream.

=== Second mask ===
The second mask is similar to Konkon.html, but Konkon-san slams the user's screen faster and shakes, and the background is red instead of black.

=== Baby ===
This page is similar to ydad.html and has 3 doors. The first door leads to a jumpscare featuring Cursed Baby. Clicking the second door will lead the user to smpshoko.html and the third door has jumpscare at 0:07 in the video where J-ker would burst out from the screen and jumpscare and kills the user.

=== Fourth mask ===
This page is a mobile version of Curse.html.

=== Smpkagamin.html ===
This page can be reached by clicking the second dot or mirror in Smpmain.html. It shows 3 mirrors on a purple background, similar to the mirrors on the Cursed Doll variation of Main.html. The first mirror leads the player to Smpprofile.html, the second leads to Smpeyekotoba.html, and the third leads to Smpnikki.html.

=== Smpprofile ===
It shows the same information but the manager's photo was changed into Kanrinin no Yorishiro (a new character and her eyes were rolled backward in the painting version) clicking on her photo will result in Sinitai appearing but the static noise is not repeated.

=== Smpnikki ===
It shows a diary (an old one about a depressed manager and a new one about a haunted theme park) the last diary June 16, 2009, a short text appears typing and then the screen fades into silence but suddenly Kanrinin no Yorishiro rises from below with loud laugh and she kills the player.

=== Smpeyekotoba ===
A blue variation of Mitsumeru-me appears at the top of the page, blinking. Two halves of Betty are shown on the sides of the page, and in between them text reading "'''うしろのしょうめんだぁれ？'''" '''(English: What's that behind you?)''' can be seen. This question has no actual purpose but to confuse the player, and the answer to the question is Smpsecretarea. By entering this into the question box, the player will be directed to Smpsecretarea.html. However, the player can enter any valid smartphone link into the box and be directed to that page and can take advantage of this to reach the end of the game quickly.

=== Smpdoor.html ===
This page shows twenty-five doors. Clicking any door other than the 18th door will result in a jumpscare, and the 18th door contains a note that is a part of the code for Smpeyekotoba.html. The jumpscares consist of:

* '''Elusive''' indoors 1, 5, 7, 13, and 15

* '''Doemon and Ima Socchi''' indoors 2, 4, 22, and 24

* '''Ellis''' indoors 3, 8, 11, 15, and 23

* '''Namakubi no Onna''' in doors 6, 10, 12, 14, 16, and 20

=== Fourth dot ===
Yukie suddenly crawls toward the screen with a loud moaning sound.

=== Smpsecretarea ===
The page itself has an image of Oshiroi and a single rainbow door. Clicking on it will lead the user to Smprandomd.

=== Smprandomd ===
The background is a rapid sequence of images taken around Japan, and there is a door in the middle of the page. Clicking on it will display either Mandoreiku, Konkon-san, or Purapura. It can also lead the user to the Yukan no Shonen puzzle or Smpdtakingame.

=== Smpreituber.html ===
This is the mobile version of Yukan no Shonen's hiragana puzzle.

=== Smpdtakingame ===
It will show 3 doors. The middle door will result in a screamer and two have a puzzle to solve.

=== Smpoohiroma ===
This is the mobile version of Awamsohniptosour.html. It is very similar to its desktop version, except Nata Onna's blade is lying on the floor in the first room and the walking and sliding door sound is different. Clicking the second room door will result in Dai kuchisake-onna appearing with a loud laugh. She will kill the user if they do not slash her quickly with the hatchet. Then, the player can proceed to Smpningyou.html, where they must slash fifthteen dolls in 40 seconds. If they fail, the middle Nihonningyou will kill the visitor.

=== Smpmysteryroom ===
There is a wall with many cockroaches crawling on it. In the end, there is a door. Clicking on the door will send the user to Smppieyama.

=== Smppieyama ===
There is a door clicking on it that will result in Pieyama Pie-Man jumpscares the viewer with loud scream. And then the same fight begins but if the player has more HP than him, the player wins.

=== Smpmoanzee1 ===
This page is a maze similar to mmeaizreo.html. There are two arrows pointing left and right, which the player will use to navigate the maze. If they do not go the right way, they will either be strangled to death by Kubishime Onna or beaten by Yamiuchi Ji. The correct path is left, right, left, right, right, left, right, left, right, left, up, left, right. At the end of the maze, a door appears and will send the player to smprtdwmod.html. On this page, Tomato Onna can be seen in a mirror, and clicking on it will send the player to smpatelier.html.

=== Smpatelier.html ===
This page is the mobile version of Atelierdesu.html, displaying a grey room with a woman sitting on a chair in the middle, with her back turned to the viewer. She sits in front of a door. There are two white arrow buttons, which lead to different paintings of Psychedelic and Kanrinin no Yorishiro. One of the paintings has a shotgun. The player must get the shotgun, and when they turn back to the room Tomato Onna will jumpscare the player with a loud laugh. The player must shoot her with the shotgun to proceed through the door, which leads to Smpstrangespace.html (the gallery).

=== Smpstrangespace ===
After beating the game, the page itself has photos of characters with another easter egg where Gallery Master will float towards the viewer with a loud laugh.

== "Arc" Pages ==
"Arc" pages were a series of nine pages that were the original and shorter version of Lomando. Their titles began with a number 1-9 followed by "arc" (short for "archive"). They have all been deleted and now are only accessible via the Wayback Machine. All of the pages except 9arcgallery.html used Flash and do not work due to the discontinuation of Adobe Flash Player.

=== 1arcfancytop.html ===
This was the old version of the top page. It features an image of Generation 1 Mimi (identical in function to the current top page's Mimi) and a promotional banner. Clicking on Generation 1 Mimi or the banner will redirect the user to 2arcfancymain.html.

=== 2arcfancymain.html ===
This page was the old version of Main.html. Instead of Ookamuro, Mitsumeru Onna was displayed in the centre of the page with repeating text below her that read "'''ごめんなさい" (English: I'm sorry)'''. There were four black squares below the text, similar to the white dots in the current version of Main.html.

=== 3arcsemaru.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the first square in 2arcfancymain.html. Mitsumeru Onna will approach the screen and face the user with a giggle. The screen will then fade into crimson, and the user will be redirected to 1arcfancytop.html.

=== 4arconinoma.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the second square in 2arcfancymain.html. A pair of blue eyes surrounded by red flesh (called Oni no me) can be seen along with a question box. The text above the box reads "(うしろのしょうめんだあれ?" ("What's that behind you?"). If the player enters the correct password, "あかいにんぎょう" ("Red doll"), a door will appear, leading to 8arcningyounoma.html. If an incorrect password is entered, a larger version of Oni no me will appear and jumpscare the player with a loud growl and laugh. This does not kill the player, however, and only resets the password box.

=== 5arcyajirushihidari.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the third square in 2arcfancymain.html. It is very similar to Heven.html, but Elusive does not appear on the page. Clicking on the door with the correct cursor will still cause Namakubi no Onna to appear.

=== 6arcyajirushimigi.html ===
This page can be accessed by clicking the fourth square in 2arcfancymain.html. It's nearly identical to 5arcyajirushihidari.html, except the background is black and Namakubi no Onna is not present. Clicking on the door with the correct cursor will redirect the player to 7arcfusmanoma.html.

=== 7arcfusmanoma.html ===
It's very similar to Paradisky.html, but the text in the note is different. Two grey fusuma doors can be seen. Clicking the left door will display a note with the password for 4arcninoma.html, "'''あかいにんぎょう'''". Clicking the right door displays Doemon, and Ima Socchi will appear a few seconds later.

=== 8arcningyounoma.html ===
This page was the early version of ningyounoma.html. Slicing all of the dolls will reveal a door that leads to 9arcgallery.html, and failing to do so will cause Nihonningyou to jump scare the player and lead them back to 2arcfancymain.html.

=== 9arcgallery.html ===
This page is a much shorter version of the gallery, containing only characters that were used in the Arc series and one bonus character. The gallery consists of the following:

* Generation 1 Mimi
* Mitsumeru Onna
* Oni no me
* Namakubi no Onna
* Doemon
* Ima Socchi
* Nihonningyou
* Nihonningyou (beheaded)
* Nyami (Halloween version)

'''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]], [[Bottle Guy]], and [[Goatsee.com]].
==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 '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. 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.
==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?" The Washington Post, 9 Jul. 2008, https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/07/09/AR2008070901983.html.</ref> The site's images, including hello.jpg and others, have also become subjects of parodies, mirrors, and tributes.<ref>"Goatse." 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>[http://www.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.</ref> [[GNAA]] also did the same thing for the supposedly leaked [[wikipedia:Mac OS X Tiger|''Mac OS X Tiger'']] release for Intel x86 processors.<ref>Farivar, Cyrus.

==History==
=== Website's history===
In 1999, the website was in its original state. Until June next year, it had the text "''What are you doing here?''" at the center before redirecting to ''index2.html'' after 10 seconds. The website goes back again with 2 other links to ''feedback.html'' and ''contrib.html'' and links to urinalpoop.org and dolphinsex.org, all of which are supposedly made by the original owner. In 2003, the website's owner added a note that there "are many merchandising attempts for goatse.cx", and "none of them are real." He then said, "The official goatse.cx merchandise is coming soon."

On January 14, 2004, ''Goatse.cx'' was suspended by Christmas Island "''for AUP violations in response to a complaint''" after its residents filed a complaint to shut down the site, until Christmas Island put the domain in the available domain pool in January 2007.

The ''goatse.cx'' domain name was sold at an auction to an unknown bidder on April 30, 2007. The first auction ended with fake bids, according to ''seobidding.com'', so the auction was reactivated. This time, fake bidders won, so ''Seobidding.com'' announced that the website would be sold for $500,000 and that legal action would be taken against the fake bidders. On November 25, 2007, the site was still for sale, asking for a "''$50,200 minimum''".
[[File:Goatse.jpg|thumb|293x293px|Hackers successfully hijack an electronic billboard to display the dreaded image.]]
In early December 2012, the site planned to launch its e-mail system, named Goatse Mail. However, the e-mail system has not been launched since. The website was then put back, after a new owner purchased the website for 8,000 euros in 2008, and is now planning to be a subdomain service on which you can host your website. There were also plans for a cryptocurrency called ''Goatse Coin'', but there doesn't seem to be any progress.<ref>Pearson, Jordan; Koebler, Jason (2017-10-17).

The latest version of the site would allow anyone to "purchase a patch of pixels in exchange for ether (the native token of the Ethereum blockchain) and fill it with an ad of their choice". With 6,000 pixels sold, the owner has already made $624 at .001 ETH (worth $104) per pixel in 2018, according to Vice.<ref><nowiki>https://www.vice.com/en/article/xwbwa7/goatse-keeps-trying-to-make-money-with-cryptocurrency</nowiki></ref>
===In Popular Culture===
Website owners have used the goatse.cx image to discourage other sites from hotlinking to them. Images on the site, such as hello.jpg, have inspired parodies, mirrors, and tributes. Goatse is also a well-known internet meme. In November 2000, A link to ''giver.html'' was added to ''Stories of Oprah: The Oprahfication of American Culture'' book, one of [[wikipedia:Oprah Winfrey|Oprah Winfrey]]'s online message boards, but it's shut down after. In the year, an unknown hacker hacked Yankees.com to display the Goatse image after the [[wikipedia:New York Yankees|Yankees]] won the [[wikipedia:2000 World Series|World Series in 2000]].

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]].

In April 2011, it was reported that an Audi billboard ad displayed an image similar to the Goatse image. Pranksters put Goatse on a digital billboard in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia, in May 2015. Pranksters signed the PGP keys of Facebook and Adrian Lamo with ASCII art of Goatse. One article asks, "''unintentionally hilarious or intentionally evil?''".

The [[wikipedia:Gay Nigger Association of America|Gay Nigger Association of America]], the known creators of [[Last Measure]], created a grey-hat hacker group called "Goatse Security" which derives from the site's name, in December 2009. The group also used the image as a way to troll, such as adding the image to [[Last Measure]], a supposed "leaked" operating system that booted the image, and more.

'''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, Bottle Guy, and Goatsee.com.

==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.

The website became incredibly popular as a prank, with users sending unsuspecting individuals an apparently innocent link, only to shock them with the image. According to Know Your Meme editor-in-chief Don Caldwell, Goatse's success as a meme was due to its potential for pranks and the fact that it burned itself into people's memories. People who were taken off guard were pranked with the image, which stayed with them and spread quickly across the internet.[1]

'''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, Bottle Guy, and Goatsee.com.

==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.

===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. 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."

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]''.

In December, the image was changed again to showcase a stylized representation of hello.jpg, featuring a pair of silver robotic hands '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. 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."

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.

The website became incredibly popular as a prank, with users sending unsuspecting individuals an apparently innocent link, only to shock them with the image. According to Know Your Meme editor-in-chief Don Caldwell, Goatse's success as a meme was due to its potential for pranks and the fact that it burned itself into people's memories. People who were taken off guard were pranked with the image, which stayed with them and spread quickly across the internet.[1]

==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. According to Know Your Meme editor-in-chief Don Caldwell, Goatse's success as a meme was due to its potential for pranks and the fact that it burned itself into people's memories. People who were taken off guard were pranked with the image, which stayed with them and spread quickly across the internet.[1]
===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, 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.

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. 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. 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.

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. 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 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 '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. 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.

'''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, Bottle Guy, and Goatsee.com.

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. According to Know Your Meme editor-in-chief Don Caldwell, Goatse's success as a meme was due to its potential for pranks and the fact that it burned itself into people's memories. People who were taken off guard were pranked with the image, which stayed with them and spread quickly across the internet.[1]
===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, 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.

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. 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. 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.

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. 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 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 '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. 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.
[[File:Goatse_Logo.png|thumb|130px|right|Goatse's official logo.]]
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 Indiegogo campaign in 2013 to fund the email service. 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.
==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 Oprah Winfrey Message Boards in 2000, causing the board to be retired shortly afterwards. Slashdot also altered its threaded discussion forum display software to prevent users from tricking unsuspecting readers into visiting the site. The Los Angeles Times Wikitorial, which was introduced as a publicly accessible method of responding to the paper's editorials, was closed two days after its launch due to explicit images appearing on the site. 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]]. 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, Wired.com 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. The site's images, including hello.jpg and others, have also become subjects of parodies, mirrors, and tributes. Additionally, the Goatse image has been used for various parodies, such as in the aftermath of Hurricane Charley in August 2004 when a photograph purporting to show "the hands of God" in the cloud formations circulated via email. Similarly, discs containing a leaked Mac OS X build, OSx86, were distributed in 2005 on BitTorrent filesharing networks, but instead of the expected Mac OS, the discs reportedly displayed the Goatse image when booted. [[GNAA]] also did the same thing for the supposedly leaked Mac OS X Tiger release for Intel x86 processors.

[[File:Olympics Goatse.png|thumb|left|200px|The alternative of the 2012 Summer Olympics's logo before it was later removed.]]
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 The New York Times. In 2007, a sketch featuring two hands stretching the "0" wide in "2012" appeared on the BBC News 24 broadcast and website as an alternative to the official logo for the 2012 Summer Olympics, leading to its subsequent removal from the website. In June 2010, computer experts known as Goatse Security exposed a security flaw in AT&T's system that revealed the email addresses of iPad users. The group uses a stylized cartoon of the cropped goatse.cx image as its logo with the motto "Gaping Holes Exposed." Pranksters also displayed the image on a digital billboard in Buckhead, Atlanta, Georgia, in May 2015.

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]].

Disguised as a website featuring adorable felines, the top of the page prompts the viewer to accept the [https://coolcutecat.neocities.org/tos.html Terms of Service] and share the site if they enjoy it. A cat drawing with the caption "this is a cat" greets the viewer, along with text urging them to click on the image. Clicking leads to a page with the same cat illustration, but with the instruction "click me again" below it. If the viewer clicks again, the website will abruptly switch to full-screen mode, displaying a flashing image of Jeff the Killer (used in Anne.jpg) and emitting a deafening screech. Neocities ads are also present at the bottom of the page. The creator's ultimate objective is to reach 10,000 views.

'''Screen show (23 issues) Timati''' is a Russian-based [[screamer]] uploaded to YouTube by Nikita Selmanovich (formerly Снегерек) on December 1, 2015.

The video consists of low-quality images of a mountainside by a lake, a meadow, and a beach that zoom in and out without any accompanying audio. However, after the beach image, a black-and-white picture of a man's face with white lights taking the place of his eyes appears with a low-pitched drone sound. The video concludes with Russian text appearing on a black background. In 2019, a variation called "Breathtaking" was uploaded by user Aaah Museum, which simply removes the Russian text at the end.

'''Useful Reminder''' is a GIF [[screamer]] which spread across QZone (a Chinese social platform). It has a very similar concept to [[How to tell if a video is a screamer]].

The screamer starts with some Chinese text on a white background, warning viewers not to open media of unknown origin as it might contain screamers. However, after 6 seconds, the image switches to a frightening woman staring at the viewer for 2 seconds, then the GIF repeats itself. Since it is an animated image, there is no accompanying sound, and therefore, no scream.

The full text reads: "Do not click on videos in QZone unprepared, especially those only several seconds in length. There is a high probability that they will pop out a ghost with scream. Also you should be aware of those GIFs and long pictures of chat history as they might contain the same prank. Being shocked at midnight, not only you may not hold your cellphone steadily enough to not drop it, but also even have a heart attack to death. What's more, these idiots who have been scared by these things and decided to spread them to their contacts are also stupid. You'd better go to bed early, as staying up late harms your health too."

'''Momo Chat''' was a [[screamer]] game made by RecordGuy626 that involves the player contacting the character [[Momo]], who gained popularity through the hoax "Momo Challenge" in 2018. The game was immediately removed from [[Gamejolt]].

In the game, players were required to enter a message into a search bar to contact Momo. The search result would show only Momo, and her stretched image would appear upon contact. However, multiple attempts to contact her would result in the same responses. If players attempted to exit the game before contacting Momo, a photo of her with a distorted voice screaming "MO MO MO MO MO" would appear. Afterwards, a black screen with the messages "You left the chatroom," "It was fun while it lasted," and "And now that you left. I'll see you again very soon" would be displayed, followed by an abrupt shake and a GIF of Momo. The game has since been blocked due to copyright issues. However, it can still be accessed through a VPN.

The video starts with the Cocomelon intro card, which then fades into a birthday party. The scene depicts two elderly people and two children waving, as another family arrives with gifts. One of the little boys gives a gift to the birthday boy, JJ. The camera then pans over the presents before cutting to the family dog with the text "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" at the bottom. As a color sweeps over the text, a green screen of Huggy Wuggy suddenly pops up with a jarring loud noise and "eats" the camera. Unfortunately, the video has been blocked due to copyright, but it can still be viewed with the use of a [[wikipedia:Virtual private network|VPN]].

Focus is a Flash animation created by Wally Bartus and uploaded onto [[Albino Blacksheep]] in 2007.

The animation prompts the player to focus on a circle against a black and white background for approximately 20 seconds, then directs them to look at flat surfaces. The resulting picture creates the illusion of distorted vision, and the image persists for 10 seconds before revealing a picture of an overweight woman exposing her rear accompanied by a fart sound. Later, the text "Didn't I get you? 'Hahaha!" appears. While intended as a joke, this screamer startles unsuspecting viewers and exposes them to unexpected NSFW material, which can be embarrassing. There is another version of this animation where the [[Goatse]] image appears, accompanied by the same scream from [[Where's Waldo]].

'''To Steve Irwin...''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] by hotogainc on April 15th, 2007. The video is intended as a tribute to the late ''[[wikipedia:Steve Irwin|Steve Irwin]]'', who died on September 4, 2006, after a short-tail stingray barb pierced his chest. It was uploaded prior to the [[An Optical Illusion (Not from Stareclips.com)]] video, originally published on YouTube on April 16th, 2007. The creator was also friends with rasenkazakuser, responsible for [[Naruto Porosi]].

The video begins with the message, "Our favorite explorer was Steve Irwin. As we all know, he recently passed away," before changing to "We would like to 'give' him this video of famous places of the world to honor him." As the text fades, the video transitions to famous locations such as the ''[[wikipedia:Statue of Liberty|Statue of Liberty]]'', ''[[wikipedia:Stonehenge|Stonehenge]]'', and the ''[[wikipedia:Great Pyramid of Giza|Great Pyramid of Giza]]''. At the 1 minute 40 second mark, a continuous looping video of the creator screaming at the camera appears, accompanied by the same scream from An Optical Illusion (Not from Stareclips.com).

'''Very Scary Ghost Pictures''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] on October 4, 2007, by user geno2k3. Unlike geno2k3's other screamers, this video has a more humorous undertone.

The video starts with an introductory text that warns the viewer about its disturbing content and claims to showcase a compilation of ghost photos collected by the uploader over the years. It then transitions to the "ghost" photos, starting with a family picture with a poorly cropped photo of Casper the Friendly Ghost displayed on top. The second photo shows a cow on a farm, and the "ghost" image is from a "fan of the month" member photo from [[wikipedia:Ebaum's World|''Ebaum's World'']]. The third photo shows a man in a dark room with the same screamer face used in Gamemun. At the 42-second mark, a picture of Lorraine Massey from the 1997 miniseries adaptation of ''[[wikipedia:The Shining|The Shining]]'' appears, accompanied by a faint female scream. The video concludes with a final text that reads, "Remember... stay scared..."

'''Scan Analysis''' was a [[screamer]] prank created and hosted on ''MonkeyDoo'' in 2012. After a long closure, the screamer was later closed along with the entire Monkeydoo website.

The game aims to mimic a genuine body scan. The user is greeted with text informing them of a program in the game that can scan their entire body via the monitor to identify physical and personality traits, and are prompted to initiate the scan. The game also advises the user to turn up the volume for voice analysis during the scan. Upon starting the game, the player receives a body scan that detects their physical characteristics such as age, gender, hair color, race, and ethnicity. After viewing the results, the user is then asked if they are satisfied with the results and prompted to begin the eye scan by pressing a button below. They are then instructed to position their face two inches closer to the monitor, and the next scan takes eight seconds. When the user is ready, they can hit the "scan" button, and the scan begins with a red line going up and down. However, the screen suddenly displays a picture of [[Regan MacNeil]] accompanied by the same scream from [[The Maze]].

'''Personality Scan''' is a [[screamer]] video based on the flash prank [[Scan Analysis]] and made by [[User:Likeicare|Likeicare]]. It attempts to act like a real body scan.

The video begins with text informing the viewer that the video features a program that can scan their personality. The text is followed by another message prompting the viewer to complete a final test during the scanning process. After a brief delay, the scan automatically begins, detecting the viewer's body. Then, the viewer is required to complete the final test, which is an eye scan. A message instructs the viewer to move closer to the monitor by two inches for the scan to work correctly. After a few seconds, the eye scan begins, and a blue line moves up and down to detect the viewer's eyes. Suddenly, a picture of [[Amy Peterson]] appears on the screen, accompanied by the same scream from [[SCP-450]]. A final message appears on the screen, revealing that the viewer has been pranked.

'''Wonka on ACID (Animation)''' is a [[screamer]] video uploaded to [[YouTube]] on December 26, 2008 by a content creator and actor [[wikipedia:Brandon_Rogers_(YouTuber)|Brandon Rogers]].

As the video begins, Brandon looks directly at the camera while the sound of dripping cave water plays in the background. He begins to sing "The Wondrous Boat Ride" song from ''[[wikipedia:Willy_Wonka_&_the_Chocolate_Factory|Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory]]'', but the mood takes a sudden turn when a green face suddenly flashes on the screen and a voice is heard saying "Wonka, this has gone far enough! Stop the boat!" Brandon responds aggressively with a "SHUT UP!". Throughout the video, more faces flash on the screen while Brandon continues to sing, and laughter can be heard in the background.

At the 0:40 mark, the screen switches to a headshot of Brandon with gray hair, green eyes, and an open mouth, set against a land of candy, accompanied by a loud screeching sound. Flashing images continue to appear on the screen before returning to Brandon singing. As the video progresses, Brandon's eyes turn completely black, and he experiences tremors while continuing to sing. At 0:53, he delivers the line "And signs that they are..." before his eyes widen, his mouth drops, and he screams as the screen shakes. The video concludes with a black screen and the sound of a metallic gate being closed.

'''The Darkness Valley''' is a [[screamer]] uploaded to [[YouTube]] on October 11th, 2008 by darknessvalley.

The video begins with a message advising the viewer to read the rules before watching, followed by a shot of a piece of paper bearing the words "Paranormal Investigators present" and "The Ghost of Darkness Valley: A Video Documentary." The documentary then features a ghost hunter interviewing various individuals. According to the video's description, the creators made a paranormal investigation parody video as a joke after hearing about a girl who had died in an abandoned house. The team is seen exploring the inside of the house with eerie ambience playing in the background. Almost six minutes into the video, a red corpse is visible in a bed surrounded by children's drawings, and a person covered in bedsheets appears as a ghost. As the team continues to investigate, a message appears on the wall that reads "WILL U PLAY WITH ME?" followed by the "ghost" approaching the viewer through an opened door. Finally, a ghostly image of a woman is displayed with a low growling sound before slowly fading to black. The same image then flashes with a loud screech just before the video ends.

'''GTA San Andreas: Bear Found?''' is a [[YouTube]] [[screamer]] video created by ''Stieben'', which plays on the myth of a bear hidden within the game.

The video opens with a green screen and white text, inviting viewers to share their thoughts on a possible bear sighting at the 0:37 mark. The eerie theme from ''[[wikipedia:The X-Files|The X-Files]]'' sets the tone for what's to come. The video then transitions to gameplay footage from ''[[wikipedia:GTA: San Andreas|GTA: San Andreas]]'', featuring protagonist Carl Johnson running through the Back OBeyond area. The creator occasionally stops CJ and aims his guns, building suspense. At the 31-second mark, CJ pulls out his camera and zooms in on a rock. Suddenly, at 37 seconds in, a red picture of a hooded demon pops up, accompanied by the heavy metal song ''[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3mh1dMiOt4 Pain]'' by [[wikipedia:The Berzerker|The Berzerker]]. After around 42 seconds, a message appears on the screen, revealing that viewers have been "punked." The final message appears at 47 seconds, apologizing for any fright caused. The video description warns that this is a screamer video and not for the faint of heart.

'''[[Adobe Flash Player]]''' was a multimedia software platform that was widely used in the early 2000s to create interactive content, animations, and video games. It allowed developers to create complex animations and interactive experiences that were viewable in web browsers. Flash was initially released in 1996 and quickly gained popularity among web developers due to its ease of use and versatility. Its popularity peaked in the mid-2000s, when many popular websites relied heavily on Flash content and also, [[screamers]].
