What?

He attempted to link me to a site that replaced the "m"s in "community" with "n"s

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

They're phishers, and they've been very common for the past year and a half, although they have died down quite a bit at this point.

I didn't click it.

If someone ever friends request you, and you don't know them but add them anyways. DON'T CLICK ON ANY LINKS THEY SEND

You shouldn't click on links from friends unless you read them carefully either.

Nope

That's what I thought.

Don't accept people you don't know, simple as that. (Same can be applied to every other website that has "friends" in it, like Failbook)

 

As for the site itself, I tried going on it, site is blank with just

 

It works!

This is the defaut web page for this server.

The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet.

 

on it.

 

 

 

AVG is a good antivirus program, I installed it after Norton took a shit and it's doing WAYYYY better than Norton.

Explain how "Norton too a shit" exactly?
