Oh wow! That is a VERY outdated thread, I didn't even realize that old thread here was still open since it's from like 2005 or 2006 haha. Here is a link to the most recent thread on it, which still hasn't been updated in a while but it has the newest available demo anyway.

As for PHO being a sister-site with Skeetendo, the answer is nope not really. PHO was a completely separate site that has gone down and come back several times. It was also called RHO (Rom Hackers Online) at one point as well. Twilight Hacking was something of a sister site though. Most of the older users on Skeetendo were originally memebers of Twilight Hacking (because Skeetendo was originally not a forum at all, it was just the name that Pyro and I used for our team when we started working on Secrets and Rumours). Then Twilight Hacking went down and I made a new forum called Skeetendo and we moved there. It was hosted on a free host though, so IIMarckus offered to host the forums on his site instead. That is when the current Skeetendo (hax.iimarck.us) came about. Then later Mr. Magius decided to bring back Twilight Hacking and a lot of people got annoyed because they didn't see a point in it and saw it as something of an "anti-skeetendo" or something. At the same time, Cartmic and I started a forum called Celadon Mansion. Then Twilght Hacking and Celadon Mansion merged together, keeping the Celadon Mansion name. And after that, Celadon Mansion merged with PHO. So I came in as "merged staff" at PHO, so I was basically a global mod. Then later the staff changed around a bit, and I was promoted to assistant admin, which is pretty cool.
So yeah, that's probably a lot more history than you were expecting today xD
