Controversy

[edit | edit source]

Trollbox has had many community controversies since its release, however only a few have managed to reach the owners and cause changes to Trollbox.

/exe was a command that let you send WINDOWS93 Terminal commands for other users to try. It was removed in ~2021 following a hacking incident caused by exeCODER that used this command. A while after Trollbox reopened in 2023, Janken re-added /exe, causing many other bad actors to use it maliciously and subsequently getting removed again.

Password leak incident

[edit | edit source]

On June 2021, Trollbox, along with two other social WINDOWS93 apps (MySpace93 and Bonzichan) were shut down following a WINDOWS93 data leak, revealing everyone's MySpace93 passwords in plaintext. The Trollbox app previously showed a chatlog of ~ saying "F*** it Dude, let's go bowling." before turning it into a fake website seized by the FBI. Trollbox would be reopened on Christmas of 2023, however other social apps are still down.

tb-fbin

[edit | edit source]

tb-fbin is an open-source Trollbox clone made by Dell. Its source can be found at dell-optiplex-790/trollbox on Github. This clone was hosted on fbin.duckdns.org and aims to be as faithful to Trollbox as possible (in its default configuration) while not including the word-bans. The software bundles two clients:

  • Trollbox (the default client, modified to exclude word-bans)
  • Trollbox-Electron (patched to not require Electron)

Modifications

[edit | edit source]

TBJB (stands for "Trollbox Jailbreak) is an open-source Trollbox modification made by Dell that bypasses the word-bans and adds an addon system.
