 		[TRAILHEAD] Strange Reddit Codes
Found this subreddit, looks as if someone is storing data. It seems undecipherable.
http://www.reddit.com/r/A858DE45F56D9BC9

http://www.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/112qat/eli5_the_content_of_ra858de45f56d9bc9/ (a thread speculating what the subreddit may be)

http://www.reddit.com/r/A858DE45F56D9BC9/comments/k96b1/201109081949/c2igpiv?context=1

http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/if5p2/ama_request_a858de45f56d9bc9/c239i75 (a request for the user to answer questions about his potential ARG.

While browsing reddit, My friend linked me to multiple descusions pertaining to a strange subreddit and a user that has been using it for a possible ARG.

This subreddit, with one moderator, appears to be a data storage or some sort. The first link leads to the subreddit itself, and it appears that titles are timestamps. The second link is for an ELI5 (explain like I'm 5) post on Reddit about it. The comments list ideas and other links. After further inspection, when the codes where decoded, it makes "Stonehenge."However, a Redditor called the guy who is doing all this "Reddit's Stonehenge" and this image (in the third link) is probably a response. The user is not exclusively a bot, as he responded "Thanks" in a cypher after someone gifted him Reddit Gold.

So yeah, I'm not sure what this subreddit could be, but my friend wanted me to post it. I am still not sure if it's an ARG, some weird hoax, a bot, or anything along the lines.

All right, I'm not seeing anything that looks remotely like a pattern, and this has apparently been going on for years. I'm guessing it's probably either a troll, or (as was suggested on the subreddit) someone attempting to store data for some reason. Possibly a botnet?

I doubt it's an ARG.
