'''Findminecraft.com''' was a [[screamer]] [[webpage]] registered in 2013, It is a name that is supposed to mislead users into clicking the [https://www.minecraft.net real website]. | |||
When visiting, a flashing image of [[Jeff the Killer]] appears along with a loud scream. It is the same .swf file that was used in [[Anne.jpg]]. Because of its misleading domain name, this website has misled many people into thinking that the website was about the best-selling game ''Minecraft''. | |||
==History== | |||
The website was registered in August 2013, and displayed the same content as described above. The .swf file was named "alts.swf", located at '''scetch.net''', a mirror of [[Anne.jpg]]. | |||
In 2014, the site later redirected to an .swf file, with the same '''"screamer.swf"''' file located on the page '''/images/enter-at-own-risk/''' from Minetime, which was also deleted off the platform. The domain "findminecraft.net" was registered again in 2014, but did not contain any [[screamers]]. | |||
In May 2017, the hoster of the website was banned by Cloudflare, followed by a discounting the entire site. The website was later purchased by a cybersquatter on July 7, 2019, and was last updated in May 2021. | |||
A popular YouTuber named DanTDM once opened the website while recording, adding to the site's popularity.<ref>youtube.com/watch?v=CcOFinI8GbA</ref> | |||
