For those who don’t remember: “Aviones Borgia” was a notorious ghost site from the early 2010s.

The domain changed hands three times between 2009 and 2011 before vanishing entirely. Most researchers assumed the original files were wiped. If you were active on the old ATS

—CapturedSnapshots_Admin Yes, the “aviones” pun (planes / flying things) mixed with “Borgia” (poison, power, heresy) was almost certainly intentional. What I can’t figure out is why every JPEG’s metadata says the camera was a Nokia 1100 but the timestamp is December 31, 1969 .
