Winterrowd.com, formerly Bloggits, was a well-known website featuring a large library of screamers created by Jeremy Winterrowd. Many of these games and videos were designed to trick people into getting scared, such as The Maze, Hit the Dot, Optical Illusions, Swearing Baby, and more.
Background
The website has a similar background to the old YouTube homepage and features a blue heading at the top. Visitors can access games, screamers, and animations from the layout. However, some links, such as the forum and "How to submit" option, have been defunct for some time, despite the website being active. Attempts to access these links now result in an error. Visitors can log in or register using the website's system or log in using their Facebook account. Additionally, the website includes links to Wintterowd's official social media pages on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and others. Thumbnails of games and animations created by Jeremy Wintterowd and other submitters are displayed below and can be clicked on for access. When viewing a screamer page, visitors have the option to view it in full-screen mode or share the screamer with friends. The website also includes a link to its counterpart Bloggits.
History
The website was registered in 2001[1] During these early days, the website was used to host Winterrowd's resume[2] and did not contain any screamers. In 2005, however, Jeremy Winterrowd decided to host The Maze and start a blog on the website; the blog posted both Winterrowd's new screamer creations as well as more personal topics, such as Winterrowd crashing his Jeep. This continued until 2010 when Winterrowd removed the personal blog and changed the website into exclusively a screamer website, also known as "Winterrowd Solutions."
On April 1, 2014, Winterrowd's website was down for maintenance, leading him to announce that his website was crashed due to many people having visited the site (for screamers) for half an hour, it was then backed up a few hours later.
In March 2020, 9 months before the discontinuation of Flash, Winterrowd.com was shut down.
Bloggits
Bloggits was Winterrowd's second website. It was registered on April 13, which tended to be a platform for his games and animations. It was registered when he lives in Arizona, However, it was then redirected to his original website in November 2006 and removed all of the links that lead to Bloggits.
Winterrowd Prank Contest
Winterrowd also held a contest in that same year called the Winterrowd Prank Contest, where you had to record the reactions of someone and upload them to the website, and he would upload them to a channel named prankcontest. The website was getting bigger and bigger every time there was a screamer uploaded, depending on how famous it was and how many reaction videos there ever were. The website was also very controversial, considering that it had many scary games and videos. But overall, it had an outstanding reputation. And it can be considered the father of all screamers, it was announced on its website in April 2007.[3]
Popularity
The website was featured in America's Funniest Home Videos, The Soup, Web Junk 20, and MSNBC's Countdown.
