I was trying to find an old topic that I made using google, and this website came up. It's called "FlashHotGames" and it's an exact copy of what ArmorGames looked like about a month ago. It functions reasonably well, there is no way to register, and I haven't tried logging in because I don't want my account to get hijacked. Many of the links are broken, but you can still look at user profiles and some forum topics. I also seems to replace any mention of AG with "Flash Hot Games." I have a screenshot of a comment on my AG profile compared to a comment on FHG.

A working link to the site is here:

I'm kind of weirded out by this, if anybody has any knowledge pertaining to FHG I would appreciate it.

My top two guesses are that they want to steal our accounts or make a version of AG that can get around the Great Firewall of China. I'm not sure about the second one because I don't even know if AG is blocked in China.

Don't worry, they will take care of it as soon as they can. It is kind of hard to deal with on a weekend though.

Because weekends aren't work days. So that guys that work in the office, probably are doing other things.

I did some IP searching....and found something interesting...

FLG's IP is 38.113.169.191

On IP locator I found that this IP actually comes from somewhere in America...somewhere in Kansas apparently. I don't know if this is right...but it may be.

This is the information that we have about FHG

1. It is a frozen copy of AG from the 15th March.
2. It may be Chinese due to the Chinese characters found by Ubertuna.
3. These characters turned out to be a HTTP 404 not found.
4. Many links on the site are broken.
5. The sites IP address is 38.113.169.191.
6. According to this website ([url=http://www.ipaddresslocation.org/ip-address-location.php]) the location for this IP address is in Kansas.

Anything else?
Hope these help...

Adding...

You cannot log in or register.

Anything that has been deleted (accounts, forum topics, comments, etc.) since March 15 does not appear on FHG (I tested this by deleting an old comment).

Any mention of Armor Games gets changed to Flash Hot Games.

Some game links do not link to the games that they say they do.

That's everything I know, apart from what Kingryan posted. Nice work getting their IP! Let's hope that the admins sort this out soon.

I got more!


http://picssky.com/ - This site is hosted on the same IP.

http://www.domaintools.com/reverse-ip/?hostname=38.113.169.191 - This shows all of the pages shown on this IP.

http://whois.domaintools.com/38.113.169.191 - This is about the site.

I am really freaked out!

They didn't think through it enough to even change ArmorGames, like they did with Armor Games. If there is no space in between the two words it is not replaced with Flash Hot Games. What a sloppy job!

picssky takes us to the infamous Chinese google, or "baidu." This is getting kind of freaky, since their internet provider is from Washington DC. My brain hurts too much to think about this right now.

These are some possible places that the site could be hosted from:

1. Washington DC
2. Canada...
3. Somewhere in Kansas

This mystery needs to be solved....I must help the Admins solve it...that is my quest!

I did a little language experiment, I think the creator ment for it to be "Hotflashgames'' ,but due to chineese translation it became "Flashhotgames" I don't get the motive, maybe to get AG's attension, but for what? Maybe they hacked into the site to get all our emails, there has has been a bit of a spike in my junkmai; recently. has anyone checked their junkmail folders for anything pertraining to "Flash hot games" I think john should run a dionosistic on any hackers that have comprimised any part of the server.

one more question, what does the "link-to-us" go in flash hot games?

FlashHotGames. And they also changed the words to read FlashHotGames instead of Armor Games. They kept the AG shield logo, though.
