Shafou.com: Difference between revisions

'''Shafou.com''' or simply '''Shafou''' was a chinese [[screamer]] website that was registered in November 11th, 2015, the site is specifically a mirror of [[Killerjo.net]]

When opened, it displays a close-up image of [[Regan MacNeil]] from [[Wikipedia:The Exorcist(film)|The Exorcist]], accompanied by three extremely loud screams from The Maze, and then repeats. The file used is "kjkj.swf," same content as used in [[killerjo.net]], and it maybe a mirror of it.

The website has the meta keyword: "突然打开的吓人尖叫网站,整人的吓人网站" which (poorly) translates as: "A scary screaming website that opens suddenly", revealing its purpose, it has the title of the webpage as: "吓人的网站" which translates to: "Scary website", the creator was revealed to be "snsunzhen"<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20111001134130/http://www.shafou.com/ The Archive] of him linking his Facebook Account. (October 1st, 2011)</ref>, due to his actual Facebook account being linked above the [[screamer]].

Furthermore, clicking the picture is said to be shared on the user's Facebook account; however, unless the user is signed in to Facebook, it will lead to its login page instead. The website uses obfuscated Base64 code, making it difficult to determine that it is a screamer.

In November 2009, the website content included links to the download, links, and a search bar, and the website content is the original state of the shafou.com domain, The whole website content was replaced by a screamer in June 2010. There was also a link to a different website in the bottom of the page: shafou.net - a blog showing a girl with Chinese text in multiple pictures. Here you can find a snapshot of February 10th, 2016.<ref>'''web.archive.org/web/20160210223453/shafou.net/'''</ref> Now this link just goes to Shafou.com.

On May 5th, it has a link above the screamer that leads to a blog, that is written by the creator himself, stating that someone asked him to purchase the domain, on October 1st, the website has a Facebook link to the creator's account, which was mentioned earlier, on March 2012, the website has a link to [https://web.archive.org/web/20120413105733/http://www.tmdchina.net/ TMDChina.net], where he posts several blogs of himself, right next to the TMD link, there is a hyperlink text that leads to an oranum chat. the blog website then moves on to "blog.tmdchina.com".<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120310085712/http://www.shafou.com/</ref>,

In 2013, the same content of the website but no longer has the link to his blog, the file later changes to "s.swf" and the title changes to "SHAFOU" in capital before returning to lowercase, in February 2016, the website now has the link to his blog again, then later on, the website was replaced with a redirect to [[Herobrine.com]], presumably by the same creator, However, it then reverts to the same content, but with a picture of [[Regan MacNeil]] instead of a.swf file, and a link to [[Herobrine.com]] above, revealing that it's the same author of that site, since while "[[Herobrine.com]]" used to be a regular blog site, it has the "Home" link that redirects to [[Shafou.com]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140327063416/http://www.herobrine.com/ The archive state] of Herobrine.com, having the "Home" link redirect to Shafou. (March 27th, 2014)</ref>, However, the link to Herobrine was removed, However, both of them later changed to have the same content after 2 years.

In October 2019, the [[screamer]] was now replaced with a note: "你访问的这个网站域名正在以9.9万元的价格出售中，交易方式为阿里云带价PUSH，如买请联系 13225271551 不买不要联系", which translates as: "''The domain name of the website you are visiting is being sold at a price of 99,000 yuan.
