In late 2014, the domain [[Agor.io]] was registered. It was the most famous mirror since many people were prone to misspelling the second "a" and replacing it with an "o" instead. The website also included a malicious script that prevented the user from closing the site by displaying the alert message "U SCARED BRO LOL". The website especially grew popular on Reddit. This post in particular was supposedly written by a parent whose child had an epileptic seizure trying to play Agar.io but misspelled it as Agor.io instead. The mother was attempting to file a lawsuit against the owner of the website, revealed to be Preston Kellenberger, living in Sardinia, Ohio.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20190821192018/https://screamer.fandom.com/wiki/Thread:6068</ref> Agor.io now redirects to a 404 error page.
