Okay, I wasn't given the link to the site. I was rummaging around in threads about shmabbles to find out what the fsck was going on (tell ya in a second) and saw suggestions that someone should take the domain name shmabbles.com or something. I checked it, and it existed. After laughing my fscking ass off, I went to the first person I was talking to (PAB) and sent the link. We've been trying to figure out who owns the site since, but I can't find anything. I know how to fix the internet, but I can't find jack sh|t on it.

So somebody made shmabbles.com but didn't tell anybody about it hoping that somebody would be bored enough to register shmabbles.com and then finally find out that it already existed? Sounds fishy!

I was the one who suggested registering it, and said that it was availabe. But I didn't register it because Iw as not sure of the correct spelling. Had I known with 100% accuracy what the spelling was, I would have done it 😛

Well there must be something funny about the fact that it's in alabama but I'm not aware of anybody in that area. Heck it could be aphexII in europe or something who just registered it 😉

How the hell did i get brought into this? 🙂

I have better things to do with my time...

I.E. leach porn sites, didnt you see the thread? 😀
 
Maybe we can narrow it down....

find out What server is it on, then cross check for old threads with dixiesys and see if anyone mentioned they were on that server. Then you may be able to get lucky.

No kidding. There appear to be some personal details in there. Assuming they are true, has to be someone who knows Skoorb quite well.
