archived directory message

did anyone else see the ascii string in the source of the agent 90426 page? or was this too basic to be mentioned here...

sorry, I'm new at this...

anyway, here's the text:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
I archived the Anne's directory here: agent90426/schreber. Vapor is getting too close to me. I have to protect the people that I care about.

It wasn't mentioned because that actually is brand-new! Wink
Agent 90426 archived this page, [url=http://vaporlofts.com]because the original VaporLofts home page was transfered to http://vaporlofts.com/main.html (the 'X' link on the original page) and Anne's files were erased from the original /schreber directory.

The original page now says
It is the emptiness inside of the box that holds that which we seek.
Hmm...ah...uh...ok. Confused

For completion's sake, here's the hex string - rather than ascii - in the agent90246 index page:

So, yeah, just to clarify:

The home page is now just a enigmatic quote in the new black-and-red motif (hit reload if you can't see it). As Abraxas also mentioned, the old page moved to http://vaporlofts.com/main.html, as can be found through a hidden link on the new page.

In chat, theShaggy pointed out that the old main page now has on it a new hidden link of its own, on the botton right corner. This links to http://vaporlofts.com/alt.html, which is the original home page converted to the black-and-red motif. Same content, different form.

Also, the floorplans page was converted to the black-and-red motif.

And as a reminder, the black-and-red motif in also shared with the new gateway page.

And just to clarify, it's not technically black-and-red, it's really-dark-grey-and-red. But you get the idea. I wonder if this is the not-at-all-sinister-sounding Phase Two color scheme?

Oh, hey! Smile
I'm not really there any more...I still haven't written a complaint to EZBoard about my EZ Supporter that I will probably never ever get...

Edit: Send them a mail and now I got EZ. That was easy, should have tried it before, I guess. But I doubt I will post a lot over there and I can't have these "early-morning" chats any more. Bad for my health... Razz

Maybe this will help someone: the quote "It is the emptiness inside of the box that holds that which we seek" currently on the VaporLofts home page seems to be a differently-translated or slightly-tweaked version of a quotation from Lao-Tzu and the Tao Te Ching:
Quote:
We shape the clay into a pot,
But it is the emptiness inside
That holds whatever we want.
