Cloverfield Site abz3293.com Comes out of the Closet, Fake
August 6, 2007 |
Like most of us already assumed, abz3293.com finally admitted today that the site is in no way related to JJ Abram’s Cloverfield movie. A few clever guys decided to register the domain name after abz3293 first appeared as the license plate number of the black SUV in the Cloverfield trailer. They claim to have setup the site to aggregate all of the Cloverfield information through fan comments, but we all really know they are just capitalizing on the buzz and racking up backlinks so they can eventually turn it into a porn site (kidding). abz3293 says,
We wanted to apologize to everyone. We had a quarter of a million visitors in the past few weeks with threads hitting nearly 600 comments. We also wanted to extend a special apology to h4×3d , The poor kid had no idea, actually going back though some e-mails we found one that sounded like he was convinced the movie studio used his template. However to his credit, most of the quarter of a million visitors that visited the site believed it was part of Paramount as well.
Props to these guys for being the first unofficial Cloverfield site to admit being phony.
