Looks interesting but the URL looks, well, suspicious. Has anyone been to this site? Don't know why, but it makes my malware-radar go off.

On edit. Some of the sites on webhostapp apparently are associated with malware. Proceed with caution if one visits this URL.

That's where Cabido hosts his Board Game map mod.
tm.asp?m=4523087

It's perfectly safe, just a free web host. Other hosts on the domain may be unsafe but no-one's asking you to visit those are they [:D]

Use of the word "stuff" is another indicator. It is interesting how the malware peddlers tend to out themselves like the clowns who write phishing emails.

Too paranoid? Don't know about that. The internet is full of scams, malware, spyware, and who-knows-what.

BTW, I think you meant .cn vice .ch ... the Swiss are usually okay [:D]

Thanks for the reply!
