Also just noticed this. Looking like this site may have been hacked.

Hmm Foilman is admin.  Does anyone have a way to contact him?

Haven't pressed the link, but my guess is that it is foilman's works. If you hover the mouse on the link, in the lower left corner shows "kwontomloop.com/var/map.php". If someone had hacked the site, it would lead outside the site

I opened another browser, where I'm not logged in, and typed the url.

It's a non-existent page.

"Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server."

Still, foilman needs to fix - perhaps it was a test link that accidentally went live

Brave to try even in another browser, I would have assumed that it was a test link for an IP blocker logic - to pick up some annoying automated bots and block them or something.

Yes, exactly that - except it should have been hidden and not appeared on the page! I'll fix that when I get a chance. The site was getting a lot of bot activity so I added a link that only they should be able to see (and messed it up, obviously!)
Edit: and now it should be gone again

Thank you for the post.  I can't see the banned link anymore
