Today i accidentally pushed mouse button while moving cursor over forum table corner, and there's a little invisible link. Here's what i got displayed:

Please nooo! It was an accident

Posted by nocturnalchipmunk
wow that is awesome! but it took me about 10 minutes to find it!
Posted by Diggs09
Ha ha, that's cool, took me a while to get it, but I found it, it's like a Scooby Doo haunted house corridor.

Posted by Diggs09
Go to Forum home, and the top left of the box that out lines the forum text.

I got it , its to the left of the corner of this whole box in that little margin, but you must go to "forum homepage" then search for it.BUT i did click on something & i had to use a different search engine to use Esaato so be carefull.

dont worry, as long as u dont click on anything other than this...
...you are safe
Posted by jellyellie
cool, i found it
what happens if you click on those guestbook links?
Posted by evoke
wouldn't mine some anti web crawling sw myself... will have to have a look for something similar... didn't even knew it existed! :)
Posted by mkt
Well, i did it.... First time i clicked it acidentally and i've hit "back" right away, without reading it aexactly. But i wouldn't be myself if didn't try it again. Read it carefully and clicked "read messages" thinking it'll lead me back to forum. And then: bang! Ur IP is blocked for a while
. I use Ericssons H.i.S. so got static IP and it scared the hell out of me. Couldn't enter esato for almost 2 days. Had to mail at webmaster@esato.com and ask for ban removing (cheerz and sorry 4 the trouble again!!!!).
So, dont play with it! It's dangerous! It's my warning. If there will be more like me, nobody knows when Laffen will be fed up with manual ban removing. So don't make him pissed!

Wicked mate ! does anyone know if this sort of thing exisits on google or yahoo or as a matter of fact any other sites?
Posted by jalu
Hands up, who else went and clicked it just cos?
And how many people would be tempted to push a button marked END OF THE WORLD?
Jalu - tempted easy
Posted by geo2k
End of the world button? Where, where.........me wanna play!
Posted by jalu
It's riiiiiiiiiiiiiight there...on Laffen's head.....

Posted by sina89

Posted by tranquil
It's hidden in one of the toics here on Esato... And it works! .... When you find it it goes... 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 and then...
Posted by punkserb
my hand is up! had to click it after you guys said. don't wanna do it again, but now that i know where it is, i'm afraid i'll subconsiously click it. so if you guys don't see me for a while, that'll be why!
and yes, end of the world button, i'd HAVE to try it to make sure its for real!
Posted by shithappens
wud the same thing happen if we were to click on the other options????? this is way cool man....but i can't afford to be blocked from esato......
Posted by mkt
I dont know, i didn't have time to try.
Iv'e noticed one more funny thing: try to type o.u.t.w.a.r without the dots anywhere in post and see what u get!!!!

Woo... it let me type it and then didn't display it...
Here's a test: is it just a filter for the word w.a.r?
I hate this war <--- thats a test.
Cool anyway, it's like an Esato Easter Egg!

Nope, its filter for whole o.u.t.w.a.r. word, to prevent tones of threads like "please support my o.u.t.w.a.r site, here's the adress:" . I can see some ppl still are trying, but hide it more. Here's another example: http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=24571&forum=29
Posted by Diggs09
Can someone explain to me the whole O.U.T.W.A.R. deal please?
What is it all about and why dont we want their links here at Easto.
I am relatively new so i gather i missed the shindig
Posted by ewap8
out war

Posted by Fahed_2000

@Diggs: Its some kind of online contest (members have their own sites, and they r fighting for popularity i guess). Those links were real pain in the ass on esato , as some members started to post them everywhere.
Posted by jalu
Ah, an online competition!
There was me thinking it was some form of pacificstic comment
Jalu
Posted by Diggs09
@ mkt, thamks, I had a look and wasnt too sure what the hell it was all about, I gather that the way your get points for your character is to get hits on their sites, so post a link in a forum and watch the hits skyrocket.
Glad to see it has been stopped, that would be bloody annoying.

I clicked on that box thing i got baned for a day
Posted by mkt
You have been warned
Posted by Vlammetje
It's typical, we all know what will happen, and NOBODY can resist clicking that box ??
Posted by cyanx7
i didn't...
Posted by bart
well i PM laffen about it, i hope its replace soon, so people whit evil thoughts don't find it and make alot of damagde to the site.
i never noticed it because its so small. i'm gonne cheak out other websites to try to find a similar thing.
Posted by mkt
I don't think it's gonna be removed, as it's against e-mail crawlers trying to download whole Esato, and consuming enormous bandwith. Besides, who knows it, and knows the consequences, won't click it. If somebody doesn't know the link exists, even better
He isn't tempted.

awww... i miss those guys.
they were my favorite!
Posted by Aled
It just goes to show that the site is well set up.
You might be interested to know that there is also a link to similar pages hidden in the www.esato.com directory, and also in the www.esato.com/logos/colour directory, see if you can find them
i wont tell you how i know this, but anyone who has designed a website or knows about how search engines work will be able to find them easily ;P
Posted by parvski
for www.esato.com

for http://www.esato.com/logos/colour
