Ciro Santilli 37 Created 2025-06-02 Updated 2025-07-16Many of the files appear to contain JavaScript functions in a format generated by Adobe Dreamweaver, making it almost certain that at least some of the websites were developed in that editor. This was first pointed out by Reddit user sq00q. Also note that the username spells "boobs" upside down in leet.
For example, starwarsweb.net contains the four following functions, first commented out which is funny and has some version comments:and then repeated on a
function MM_swapImgRestore() { //v3.0
function MM_preloadImages() { //v3.0
function MM_findObj(n, d) { //v4.01
function MM_swapImage() { //v3.0body onload. Here MM_ stands for MacroMedia, and is mentioned e.g. at:Doing:on github.com/cirosantilli/cia-2010-websites-dump currently gives 64 hits out of 421 websites.
git grep MM_swapImage | sed -r 's/\/.*//' | sort -u | wcThe approximate version history is:

Ciro Santilli 37 Created 2025-05-26 Updated 2025-07-16The issue appears to be that the file watcher goes out of control.
The reproduction is very simple:and now the editor GUI hangs and Ubuntu shows a popup:
mkdir mytest
cd mytest
seq 1000000 | xargs touch
code --disable-extensions .The window is not responding

Ciro Santilli 37 Created 2025-05-23 Updated 2025-07-16Maybe it is some kind of outdated web design thing, which they took much further in time than the average website, like the JAR.
Their websites do appear to follow common style guidelines form earlier eras, around the early 2000s notably, some legit sites that look a lot like hits:
An example:
Looking at the source code of: web.archive.org/web/20130828122833/http://euronewsonline.net/euro_bus.php we noticed an interesting comment:which presumably refers to Adobe ImageReady:A sample tutorial: people.goshen.edu/~paulmr/physix/326/imageready/slicendice.php
<!-- ImageReady Slices (enewsweather.psd) -->Adobe ImageReady was a bitmap graphics editor that was shipped with Adobe Photoshop for six years. It was available for Windows, Classic Mac OS and Mac OS X from 1998 to 2007. ImageReady was designed for web development and closely interacted with Photoshop
Some of the websites use CSS background images to populate the images, e.g. ingenuitytrendz.com has HTML:and then the CSS engineering.css does:
