Don't know if it can be called so, but point still stands, Hussie apparently can't make websites. I also don't know how many people know about this, but test_index.php is a pretty well known thing.
Did you know you can also download all php sourcefiles from mspa? For example: http://cdn.mspaintadventures.com/index.php gives you the code for the current page,
http://cdn.mspaintadventures.com/testindex.php gives you a 2011 page source and
mspaintadventures.com/images/test_index.php gives you a 2009 page source
There's also an old anti-SOPA page - http://www.mspaintadventures.com/blackout.html
I found the ones with the cdn trick in a thread on knockout, but I lost it :(
You can post more findings in this thread

Here, found the original thread I found all this from - https://knockout.chat/thread/13483
More findings from it:
http://mspaintadventures.com/test_index2.php - 2014 index page
You can also find the homestuck pages which the php script pulls:

RE: zenithzapz
Every image after page 009859 in homestuck is broken. Dialoglogs are broken, also trickster, scratch etc. styles are broken. This seems to be the case for every index that isn't the one redirecting you to homestuck.com …

Trickster text was handled with gifs, I thought. At least it was when I tried to recreate/steal the effect last year when MSPA.com was up for a bit.

RE: meiqqer
Styles, not text. The pages change styles as you read through the story, trickster changes everything to be colorful, pink yellow and blue, scratch changes the page to look dark green etc.

Not posting here for my own sanity but I dug in and found the old, pre-launch Psycholonials website, with a completely different URL, long dead now.

Anything specifically on MSPA.com has been found through the years and "exploited" to its limit. Like people mentioned, the hidden index breaks at some point, so there's a reasok people ended up having to build alternatives from scratch. There's even a secret page where you can run a Linux directory exploit... to do nothing. There really isn't anything on the server the fans hadn't already gotten to.


Very interesting to hear about the early Psycholonials site, though, I didn't know that.

Oh, I looked into the Psycholonials stuff, and that's not an early or secret site. When it first came out, the game had a publisher, The Silence Mill (maybe still linked on app stores?) and it has been removed by now from Steam. What you are referring to is just the early publisher's website, available at the same time as psycholonials.com
