ImgChili Problems / Discussion

Postby gd » Sat Jun 22, 2013 3:58 pm

Since today, I noticed that ImgChili have .net domain.
But when a user click on thumbnails (for example this one: http://imgchili.com/show/25326/25326932_00041.jpg ), he see "hotling forbidden image" instead of original picture.
Crappy, I hope they fix it.
Even with refresh result is the same.

Funny :lol:

They are forbidden to hotlink to themself.

Looks like something temporary. Probably a good idea to inform them though.

the .net is probably fake and its there to harvest accounts. Don't login to it.

You mean they are hacked? :)
I checked both .com and .net domains whois.
.com is ok, but .net has whois guard
Both domains are registered with same registrar.
Even name servers are the same.

I mean a unsuspecting user would try to login to the fake site and the the owner of the fake site can then login to .com and request payout to their paypal. etc.

I think its strange they would start a .net and not tell their users about it.

I was thinking of sending email too, but last time when I did, I got an answer after a week or so. :)

I've got a reply from the admin of imgchili, in short, it's a legit domain, they're switching.

« Can't really automate it, so please keep reminding it. We switched to .net because .com was banned in India and large portion of our uploaders is from there. »

So does that mean all posted links will have to be reposted?

If users must repost their stuff, that will be a big fail.
