Tell me everything you can find out about imageshacknow.info. I already know it's owned by Webtrends. Googling it brings up basically nothing. There's nothing on the site whatsoever. And yet I see people with images hosted there. What's it there for? I suspect some sort of tracking/market research thing?

    Because I'm a mod, I'm curious, I Googled it and came up with nothing, I suck at e-stalking, and you have nothing better to do.

    After some poking around, my best guess is that the imageshacknow.info is where your images link from when you become a imageshack subscriber.

    I've noticed in one or two threads when I enter Chrome tries to direct me away due to malware sites being linked.

    Is this part of that?

    Well, as you can see here, the domain appears to be hosted on one of WebTrend's servers.

    And imageshack.us is registered to a completely different person, organization, and state.

    Purely based on googling, the domain seems to be associated with a lot of forum spammers.. you know the type, make an account, pretend like they're a person, then start whoring sites.

    I'm not sure what the angle is though.. it appears to be some kind of mechanism for tracking how popular a site is. Perhaps used to find sites worth spamming to? The site seems to host nothing but emoticons. Or it did at one point.. none of the urls give results anymore.

    Absolutely no chatter about the domain however.. except for the threads here that Thanatos started.

    Careful, he's IT Director at a small call center and he's both a B-Boy and a Pimp. Better step wise.

    If he's a Las Vegas native.. why does his website show Seattle's skyline?

    Clearly something is amiss!

    Yeah, this is the impression I've had. I've already banned one person for (among several other things) using their hosting. I've got another one on the line, who isn't as obvious as the first, also using their hosting, only this time instead of spamming it into his posts, he's using it in a sig/avatar.

    I mainly just wanted to see if anyone could give me a definitive answer one way or the other as to what, exactly, the place is.

    BigLevel is behind in its filings. Not sure if that's even interesting.

    This guy doesn't have any kind of reputation that I can find, so it's hard to say exactly what his deal is. Just seems to be a forum spammer or some kind of data miner, which is pretty innocent as internet jackassery goes. Could be he just hasn't done anything to earn the attention of the security community.

    EDIT2: Just realised that ParkedHere's website is the "featured website" of BigLevel. Nice.
