Initially, several weeks ago, two different site versions were loading at random:
Version A: The usual
Version B:
-
Slightly different graphically
-
Different submission form
-
Warning that a media submission cannot be removed
-
Tag buttons gone
-
Pop-up suggestion to add a profile picture
-
patriots.win login cookie no longer valid on conspiracies.win (re-login required)
-
Site favicon changed to black square with white 'S'
At present only version B loads and the login cookie still isn't valid on conspiracies.win
It's probably nothing (I probably just missed the moderator message about the changes) but still have to make sure the site hasn't been hijacked somehow.
The cookie failure is the most concerning issue since that's one of the red flags for a MITM attack.
Edit:
It appears patriots.win is tied to thedonald on scored.co
And conspiracies.win is tied to Conspiracies on scored.co
Explains why the Trump favicon changed to the 'S' favicon (Scored.co) and is likely the pathway to explaining the cookie issue.
Edit 2:
Apparently communities.win has been tied to scored.co since early 2022 and patriots.win tied to it since mid 2022.
I guess I'll change all my bookmarks to scored.co since that's apparently the actual site we're all using now anyway.
You could get any forum at *.win as forumname.win or as communities.win/c/forumname
For https://conspiracies.win another version is https://communities.win/c/conspiracies
communities.win version looks like not customiseable by moderators and looks the same for any forum.
More like feature than some suspicious.
PS also in settings of forumnane.win you could turn on "Beta Features" option. You will get third version, different from above. :)
