Being an empty door can mean more than one thing. I can think of two at the possibilities at the moment.

a) It sure is a red herring
b) We shouldn't be able to get into that door at this point in the game. There are puzzles we have to solve first, and the puppet master(s) is watching over our shoulder. The door's secrets will be revealed when we have gathered enough clues.

I don't think it would be wise to assume theres nothing behind the door. Take TimeHunt (a semi-ARG puzzle game) for example...you can decompile the flash all you want and it won't show you the location of the other parts of the game...it makes a call back to the server, which will then fetch the proper place youre supposed to go. Now I don't know if thats the case here as I haven't looked at the decompiled code at all, but I remember people saying there was no animations for the book opening either, and lo and behold it was proved wrong and the cache is now all ours. I'd assume there is something behind that door, or else they of not put a hotspot/password there.

In trying to reply to jonSPLAThidingroom.com I get:

IDK, maybe this message was just to let us know that we are moving in the right direction, and we will receive further instructions soon. Or maybe we'll have a few days to figure it out and the someone (like brigid) will just tell us again.

I used the wayback machine as well. As you enter pathwaytravel I got a page telling that the domain had been claimed. There were instructions on how to upload your files to the server. Maybe we should try to get into that server. It gives an IP number, username (pathwaytravel.com). All we would need is a password.

Pronage,

Check postings on page 2 and the followups from SuperJems. It might save you a bit of time.

Always,

Please don't try to get into the server. There is no hints towards needing to do this, at all (and no checking what the website looked like during development of the game doesn't count), and it generally just annoys the PM's and can cause trouble (see for example a player gaining access to an in-game characters blog in I Love Bees.)

I'm not trying to jump on you pronage Just trying to nip it in the bud before we get a whole bunch of people try to hack into the websites, port scan the servers, and generally cause mischief for the PM's. If we were meant to do something like that, they'd make it blatantly obvious

[pronage]

I get the point. Sorry a thousand times. Starting to see hints and clues everywhere.

DOES ANYONE THINK THIS GAME IS A HOAX - IN THE CACHE HE REFERS TO FRANCES GRIFFITHS - SHE IS A WELL KNOWN HOAXER

And to add to that....The Frances Griffith-article appeared in the "Fortean Times", which is another reference to Charlie Fort and his theories/inspirations.
