Hmmm...interesting.

That image means something, my gut tells me. Gonna have to check it out. Looks like a code or replacement for the alphabet...

Decoded that picture.

The images were 3-D, so I rotated them until the closest side was flat, facing us.

The resulting symbols had to be looked at for a moment (drawing them out on another piece of paper helped), but it said this in continuous letters

GOTOORBITALCOLONYCOM

Go to orbitalcolony.com

Was this not already discussed months ago in the trailhead thread, or am I just suffering from insane deja-vu (I have just got in from work and it's 4:30 AM).

Please don't forget to do a search before posting if you decide not to read through all of the old threads.

Just to clarify, I locked this thread because this Ebay bidder-profile has already been found over a year ago (read about it by following the link Rowan posted above).
The code spells out GOTOORBITALCOLONYCOM and was the first lead to the start of Orbital Colony.

I realise it's pretty easy to get excited about stuff you find, especially for the folks that haven't followed the early beginnings of OC, but please remember to [search] before you post so we can keep the forums as tidy as possible. Thanks!
