The BSF Clone : Othor Games

» Sun May 13, 2012 10:13 am

Some of you may remember some time back a series of topics discussing a website which was taking our posts and attributing them to fake members of a supposed Fallout 3 forum (most of whom were represented by an avatar of various attractive women). Couldn't find the topics so I'm assuming they've been cleared since then but the thought occured to me for some reason to try and find out what the deal with that actually was. Was the mystery ever solved?

It was never solved, although many of us assumed they wanted an authentic looking forum to mask all of the advertiser links.

The gamefallout site disappeared but now we have a new one. Last I saw of it gstaff said he was contacting their legal department about it although I'm not sure if anything did or even could come of that.

After "gamefallout", "gamesas" popped up as well. Not sure if they were taken down as well.

Really, there was a gamesas forum as well? Where the hell was I when this came about?

Damn. I knew something was wrong with me. I always wondered why my left hand was on my right arm.

GameSkyrim is still up, stealing our very words.

So.. can't we, as a community of thousands, do something about it?

back track an ip and seriously DoS their asses to hell or something? (Oblivion came to mind, but the pun was too lame..)

fry their servers?

:shrug:

Can we get Brein to block access to the site from The Netherlands?

I say we all go to "gamesas" and cause a server overload :chaos:

I just tried to go there, couldn't find it via a Google search. But then again, if I cared I would've honestly tried harder.

Something along the lines of illegal comes to mind with that.

I preferred my avatar on gamefallout.

The gamesas.com still does exist. More than that, when I google TES-related keywords, its links often go to the first page. One thing anyone can do is to vote "Untrustworthy" on http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/gamesas.com or some similar rating site - maybe not much, but better than nothing, I guess.

My theory is that they want people to unwittingly register and then spam-out their email accounts.

EDIT: Their homepage looks pretty cool, although it's pretty obvious it is fake from it's boards, Skyrim and the ELder Scrolls then..... Fallout, Crysis and Othor (?)

It's the same site as GameFallout, they didn't bother changing the banner (Still showed the Brotherhood of Steal guy)

They have a Dovahkiin now, and the wall of Alduin.

That and hope it's victims come across the bizzaro version of this topic and realize the horrifying truth.

Is the website safe? I want to see myself for the lulz.

It hasn't been updated for ages, it should be safe but I doubt you'd have much luck finding yourself.
