What is uapps?

Post by Kasperelo »

I googled a problem I had with löve and found a webiste which I hoped had the answer. It seemed at first like the normal love2d.org, but I got a virus warning from google chrome that said something about uapps.org and love2d.org, and I thought "whatever" and continued. I got brought to a thread that looked exactly like love2d.org, with the exact same url as it would have on love2d.org, except that it didn't say love2d.org/forums, but uapps.org/forums. Does anyone know what this is? I tried googling uapps without much result.

Chrome seems to give the warning because that page says it's love2d.org (because they just copied it), but the domain is different.

Here's a whois with contact information: http://www.enom.com/whois/default.aspx? ... =uapps.org

According to the WHOIS, TheLinx owns the site. From what I can tell, TheLinx seems to be trustworthy enough, so I'm guessing uapps is some kind of private project, and not a phishing site, though we'll have to ask TheLinx about it to know what it is for sure.

uapps.org is hosted on the same server, so I guess somewhere some configuration broke and it's now serving love2d.org's content as well. Nothing to worry about, anyway.
