In November 2009, the website's content included numerous download links and a search bar. This is the original state of the shafou.com domain. Sometime later in June 2010, the website was replaced with the [[screamer]]. There was also a link to a different website at the bottom of the page: shafou.net - a blog displaying pictures of a girl and Chinese text.

After that, on October 1, the website again updated and now directed the user to a Facebook link to the creator's account, as mentioned earlier. On March 2012, the website had a link to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120413105733/http://www.tmdchina.net/ TMDChina.net], where the creator posted several blogs. Right next to the TMD link, there was a hyperlink that redirected to an Oranum chat. The blog website then moved to "blog.tmdchina.com".,<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120310085712/http://www.shafou.com/</ref>
