I saw this advertisement about two weeks ago:

[img=http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3066/picture1jsb.th.png]

Or click the link: Link

This weird advertisement states that it is Armorgames, but when you click on the link, it brings you to some random website. Is this allowed? Can we do something about it please?

This is tricky


And you aren't really helping.

It seens to lead to a site that advertises random sites, some being about games and others not. This type of site usually gain money every time someone clicks links inside it (like google advertises). So it should be ilegal in some way.


I don't want to mess into illegal and legal things. I'm just saying what I saw. If what you say is right, then I advise people not to click on the link.

(This post will bring me to 1500! Now I have a new batch of Armatars.)

If I recall Armorgames used to be called Games Of Gondor so that must of been an old link and now if you type in www.gamesofgondor.com it takes you to a page that looks similar.

that gamesofgondor has no link to armor games, all it has is "Play Free Armorgames." but that isnt the same site.

But i might be confused.

I don't understand.

By god, you're right! That solves the problem then. Some moderator please close this thread down. And looks the link I posted...

Wait a sec, the sites are slightly different. The site I posted it from a different website, different Url and different host, only that it seems to have the same lay out. So the problem hasn't been solved.

I have the suspicioun that some person is trying to pretend to be dozens of different gaming sites, not just Armorgames. But it doesn't seem to be much of a threat, so I guess we can lock this thread any way.

Lock this thread please, mods. AND NO ONE ELSE POST HERE!!!!!

And this link, however, brings up nothing. It brings up a list of whatever comes up that relates
to your search. It really doesn't help much.

And as for this advertising site, it's wasting its time, if it's trying to advertise Armorgames. If
it really is, then the clients are going to be sent somewhere else, NOT AG, and if it is advertising THEIR
site, then they are falsely advertising their site, and that will just end up in fail.

IF people are smart and want to get to the actual site, however, they can look to the bottom of the
image and see www. armor games ....... and they can figure out the rest. Most sites are .com-ers
anyway. There's no real problem, just a little random mishap.

I just went to a site with the exact same layout today by accident,because someone said it had some direct URLs for MP3's that I wanted to use for a game on this site,but I think it may be one of those generic search URLs.I am not quite sure why there would be a AG ad with it though.

That AG add is an old one that pops up every now and again. It is sometimes on people profiles at the side...

There have been fake ArmorGames' in the past, and most have been gotten rid of...

I do not believe that this is anything to worry about...it is just an old banner....

I remember seeing this at the side of the AG homepage in about last July or something, it could have been Games of Gondor or something but if it was a fake AG I don't think AG would advertise it.

The picture posted on page 1 makes it seem as though it is truly Armor Games, it has some of the same games on there, and with the logo and everything.


Very good eye my friend to spot this and shed some light on this mystery.
