Puzzely giveaway

Closed
Spyonu

I have Borderlands GOTY and Borderlands 2 ready to be gifted.
Rather than making a boring public givaway, I decided to make a small puzzle for them.
It's an easy one, don't worry (Inspired from a much better game that sadly I can't find the link to anymore)

http://spyonu.byethost7.com

Solve the puzzle and find the link to the 2 giveaways. There's a contrib value of 5$ because why not.

later edit:
The giveaways will end on the 7th of August.

Hint 1: to solve the puzzle, you need to modify the url

Hint 2: go to the source of the problem

even later edit: At the rate the puzzle is solved, I should have halved the gieaway life :)

severely later edit: I'd appreciate it if you don't share the answers with other users. It spoils the fun.

zombie old edit: Not that it would matter much now, but I've changed some elements of the puzzle now (just some switching around - nothing new.)

What the hell is case sensitive ? For me it's just 1 stupid sentence and white nothing! :D

Good. I want BL2. The fewer of you solve the puzzle, the better for me.

Bah.. I'm too lazy to solve that second step, especially since I own both games.

EDIT: This is making me feel stupid...

Which letters did you change by the way ? (For scientific purpose) ;-)

You only need to change the page name, not the entire url :)

consider the starting url as
http://spyonu.byethost7.com/index.html
You only need to change the index.html part.
All the pages are on the same server. there's no porn involved (sorry for the ones expecting it :D )

I love how changing a letter can redirect you to a random website

weird. that shouldn't happen. all 404 should redirect to the same page (unless you edit domain/subdomain)

Spyonu

No. But it's similar.

The one I'm talking about is years old and it was awesome.
If you think this is challenging, wait until I find that one :) (the name of the game was "Think outside the box") If I remember correctly.
I've combed the net/archives without much success. I'm now trying my luck in my ym logs :)

Did you seriously type stuff expecting something to happen?

Here's a hint though, websites are not made of fairy dust.

Only the OP can give you hints.

All I will say is, if you want to have a go at a similar online puzzle. Then search for zahada, as this puzzle follows a very similar format. (As mentioned 3 posts above this so I believe it is no spoiler)
