runouw.com

On one of my strange Google journeys, I ran into this:

http://www.pimpfortr.us/forums/

At first glance, it seemed to me like some odd Archived version of the site. If you look at some post dates, the latest posts seem to be of October 2012. If you check the News, you'll get the posts Runouw made back then (some of the first LL stuff) and I think if you go to the Games section they work as well.

When you go to most topics, the site will tell you that that topic doesn't exist. The only topics that can be seen - as far as I've checked - are the Announcement topics, like MoD's Timeline and other things. Also, when you go into a thread, like Off-Topic and other stuff, the usual screen looks quite glitchy, being flooded with those square thingies that usually go on the left side of a topic.

Also, I found out you can actually log in. I went into my UCP and I could actually see my old messages from back then. You can also check user profiles, and see their posts. And for some reason, it seems to always work when you get to a topic through that.

I have no idea of what this is supposed to be really, so I post this to know. Maybe it's some kind of error, an actual archive Runouw made, beats me. Maybe someone here knows something...

Also, try messing around with that site a bit. I'd like to know about all that can be done in that place. :3

i wonder what else you have come upon in your strange google journeys

Wow, this is actually kinda interesting. Maybe Runouw tests new site backdrops on it?

(Conspiracy theories for runouw.com commence)

This is old. Suyo made it to test out the new layout


It appears more broken than it was 2 months ago though

My old password actually works! Oh sh*t, my old messages!

To test a layout? Hmmm...

It still seems quite odd to me... I mean, you don't need to copy so much info from the actual site if it's gonna be just a test... why can you get into threads, profiles, your old messages?

Still, I guess that's an answer...

Interesting!

How do you do "strange Google journeys"?

Actually, it would be easier to copy everything than to just copy some stuff. Transfer all files - done. Play. Plus, it gives a fair approximation of how it would function in our actual environment.

That's not mine, that's Runouw's.
We discovered it ages ago because SuYo googled his name, and since it's so rare, he found this copy. I guess Runouw uses it for experiments (for example the new design)

Cool...

I actually discovered this by googling JSlayerXero's name xDDDD

@Dtroid: That's how you do strange Google journeys :3

I just realized! If you look at some of the posts, you can see that some users still use that site! Some posts go to October of this year!
