What happened with MessengerGeek?

Look at this, is strange. :stuck_out_tongue:

It appears to be a HTML glitch or just the forum accidentally loading the wrong information. Leading to what appears to be a database of usernames, IDs and PFPs. No passwords, thankfully.

This is actually json, you can deliberately get this for any page just by adding .json to the link.

An example:
https://wink.messengergeek.com/c/RandR
to
https://wink.messengergeek.com/c/RandR.json

or with a topic:
https://wink.messengergeek.com/t/what-happened-with-messengergeek/12217
to
https://wink.messengergeek.com/t/what-happened-with-messengergeek/12217.json

Are there any steps to make the original problem happen or was just it random?
