Title: Locked out of forums + strange http displayed with each tentative connection
Post by: Jason Bourne on July 08, 2013, 08:02 pm
Hi all,

in think it was on 6 July, I couldn't connect to the forums. Each time I tried, I got a weird message in the address header instead of the forums address.
I don't recall it literally but it was something like :
considerthisaawarning.onion, or something similar.

I searched for similar experiences, but was not successful. I didn't come across any post from someone being unable to connect that same day, nor that message and I figure there would be one if it was of general occurrence. 

Anyone experienced the same?
WTF was that?

Peace out
Jason

Was it "learntoplaynice.onion" or something like that?  The forums were redirecting connections based on the program being used to connect to them.  It's nothing to worry about.

Hi SS, that hit the nail! learntoplaynice.onion was the name, I kinda knew I might not have remembered the exact wording, I never occurred to me I actually had it all wrong. :)
Is this redirection onion a new thing, or is it that yet another proof of my flawless mnesic capabilities?

Anyways, thanks for the explanation. 
+1 for you my good sir

Peace out
Jason
