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.

Couldn't it simply be a frustrated user *cough* SF *cough* who copied all the source code from Ag and rehosted it on a free server?

I highly doubt that a user of AG has enough knowledge of PHP and HTML to be able to make CSS rules to replace "Armor games" with "Flash Hot Games" I think only game developers and Dank can do that. It may have been a hacker as I said that got into the site code.

Maybe, but SwitchFoot was banned after March 15.

Maybe, but SwitchFoot was banned after March 15.

But you forget the SwitchFoot is Accused of being Fallingup, who was banned around that time.

True, but what does he gain out of it? And how does SwitchFoot relate to China and Baidu? Also, SwitchFoots IP is 10.78.166.12, not 38.113.169.191.

Maybe. Another weird thing that I found was this: Traces pf SwitchFoots old profile came up in a google image search, specifically the comment section.

Actually, you don't even need to use google. Swichfoot's profile is gone, but you can still get to his friends and comments. Huh.

Although you may think it as difficult, copying source code isnt that hard. Then, all you need to do is use a replace thing for the ArmorGames to FlashHotGames. The most difficult thing would be to change the logo....
To prove that it isnt hard to copy source code, go to:
www.freewebs.com/flashhotgames/
It is the same code....but with no backround...

Ah...the link didn't work.
If you want to see what I did on freewebs by copying the code...click Here.

It took me five minutes.

I know that nobody has looked into this for a while, but it seems that the site is now a clone of ugoplayer.

Yes, I was looking through here and went to the site and noticed that, looks like you did too. I'm pretty glad they aren't copying us anymore. This also likely means it wasn't an angry user from here. Someone should probably warn ugoplayer though. This site just doesn't seem like it's at all good!

Hahahaha, that is pretty funny though. Just switching from one site to the next... have you sent ugoplayer a warning about it?
