Talk:Monster Girl Encyclopedia

Monster girl redux keeps redirecting me to some webpage, is anyone else having this problem?

A crypto site? then yeah, basically most of us, anyway. 92.0.44.153 01:18, 11 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I just tried it and you're right. I'm going to ask Ochi (the admin) if the link can be removed. Timjer (talk) 08:49, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Hayu974 (going under the name HalcyonIllaster here on MGE wiki) speaking: I tried looking it up and Allthetropes explained that it’s probably a security issue and likely relating to recent spam floods. Yet, I’m not sure that’s it. I would like to know how this happened. HalcyonIllaster (talk)

Look like some kind of domain hijacking, it's common practice. It's possible the owner of MG Redux forgot to update their hosting of their website, someone took this opportunity to host their own website on that domain name that redirect to their garbagedump. Note that other references to the website also are broken, see the reference section of the Greenworm Extra page (https://monstergirlencyclopedia.miraheze.org/wiki/Greenworm/Extra) I hightly suggest removing the link in the main menu for the time being. (It's still present in Community > Affiliates)


 * I didn't realize there were more of those broken links... I'll see if I can start removing them. Timjer (talk) 09:00, 15 January 2023 (UTC)

Do we happened to know if the owner of MGR is aware? Is there anyone that know how to contact them? And the links will be back up once MGR is back to normal, right? I have stories and notes on that site that I left there and I did not plan on back ups on my stories prior to the domain hijack. There goes my "Illaster Saga". ^^U HalcyonIllaster (talk)


 * I don’t really have any knowledge on how domain names work but apparently you can look up a domain name in a WHOIS search engine and find out the contact information of the person who owns it and the registrar company in charge of the domain. I suppose someone could try contacting one of them but if the domain name is now registered to some hijacker, I don’t know if it will really be of any use. Htuein (talk)


 * Htuein, thanks for suggesting the idea to search the domain name via a WHOIS search engine. I was able to find the email of the original owner of Monster Girls Redux and confirm it's actually his email. I've sent him a message regarding the forum's state. It's only a matter of time, but I fear it will be too long. HalcyonIllaster (talk)

So how come we aren't making articles on content from the MGE RPG? The demo has several items not present in the guide books like Cat's favorite silvervine and Familshrooms. Why dont we make articles about them?
