 		[SOLVED!] http://vaporlofts.com/floorplans.html (string)
As a reminder, there is this in the source:

VNP/px4LA5gwEIGlGRZcYZa+LRL+09dhDrwPS4O6UCAqdOqJDkt/n9G/h/+7JmlJ8yBJ
9PqulmNy2zOHGqi0uEM3Wyo6gZ9OutWDmAesALiDJ5TUIIxO4t3y0MOXgS8iCPEcsx+w
D1d15W4Xsa0bJ0kLs/wtu8KRwiUB2YhIeR1PoU4UOWp4E2mpPD43JiJafyw/7+0A7GRa
BxmNqP/G53nbDKZybsMJRY73VsqCkKjzoW7tTXfJZ/lBl8KM2vKTWTC2KgMLChUjpEeA
iQ1FctNWGkzawEaT6A/HfYE6s030sQFwrUEOnxN76nlqpo5PapY2ka2kyo4=

Doing a count on this results in 332 characters and 65 unique characters. It can't be a substitution cipher, you can see that with the naked eye.
But it's strange that this string contains all of the alphabetic letters (both small and in capitals), all digits from 0-9 and above that '+', '/' and '='.
Most frequent: 'J' (10 times) and '/' (9 times)
Less frequent: '=' (only once) and 'v' (only once)
'v' is interesting, because from several ciphers we know that it was used as a blank.

Compared to the string on 1008.html, you see that they contain the exact same unique characters and J is very frequent in both of them.

Aside from the fact that the frequency of the characters is strangely equal, I have no idea and pass this on to someone else.

 		And after a month and a half, we have a decryption. And oh how anticlimactic it is. Using ClipSecure, RipeMD, CFB8Bit, Twofish, and the password

vaporlofts
we get the following note:

Seriously...why should we bother decrypting it?
Completely useless...

 		I get wrapped up in another ARG and Thanksgiving goodness for a few days and I miss a huge update. Ah well.

Great job mapmaker! I couldhave sworn I tried vaporlofts, but i was trying so many different passwords and ClipSecure modes that I'm not surprised that I missed it.

 		Yeah, I could have sworn I'd tried vaporlofts too. Maybe I'd tried VaporLofts instead - stupid case sensitivity.
