Oh, on the hint3.png, the scratched out ARG commandment is
8. Thou shalt not seek what lies behind the Curtain.

It also has "My voice is my passport" written on it, which is a reference to the movie Sneakers.

Did anyone else notice that our old friend chasser0.png is stuck behind the 10 commandments (along with the letters E W E I)?

And what is with the beehives(?) on top of the MTA site?

I tried finding a keyword for the possible vigenere, but came up with nothing. I even tried switching the -s and .s around and still got nada.

Doh, sorry about the typo.

I just looked back at the email; the subject ROTs to "rebus", which is hopefully a hint to those beehive things.

Here's some examples of rebus puzzles, as a refresher:

It looks like hint3.png has been changed a little (modified date confirms).

It's two rows of weird symbols beneath the beehives or whatever they are. Might it be some weird font like wingdings?

Edit: got it

The only thing I can think of is hive + arch = hierarchy but no go there.

Edit: I thought arc + hives = archives, but it's not a key.

OK, another thing I just noticed is that in the upper right hand corner of the image is "mta.info", which is the URL of the page. On the image though, the .info is underlined.

In his email, he put stars around "info" ...

The title of the new page is "Motto Fukaku" which according to here means Deeper!

Another update a few minutes ago.

Whatever you put in the second box on the life page gets added to the page.

Edit: Agh, it changes the update page, so it's hard to tell if it was an actual update. I just updated the wiki with the last change time and the text on archives, so maybe we can tell between our updates and theirs.

It seems even if you put something else in the first box (not "life") and something in the second, it marks an update.
