The Hanso Foundation Life-Extension Project celebrated a milestone in the 105th birthday of experimental subject 626. Experimental subject 626, known to Hanso Life Extension project researchers as "Joop"...


Awesome reference:
The character Stitch in the superb Disney animated movie Lilo & Stitch is known as "Experiment 626", the product of renegade genetic experiments by a mad scientist. Through comedic hijinks etc. Stitch is sent to... wait for it... Hawaii!

If you guys haven't figured it out by now, this is pretty much the best game ever.

Yeah, just one.

On Joop's page there is a text box just underneath his name at the top. I haven't looked any further into it.

 		Dear mod,

While I appreciate your time and energy in editing long urls into links, you may inadvertently be helping to remove clues. ILB is a great example, sometimes knowing and seeing the full long URLs gives you ideas of how to hack for an unexposed URL.

 		Loch,

The purpose for minimizing the link was to aid readability in the forums. Posting excessively long links only serves to make the post (and the rest of the thread, should any other posts quote the long link) unreadable... and you want the forums to be readable, right?

While this will seem a bit redundant, please note that for the sake of snaity and organization, short concise redirrect-links and hyperlinks make everyone's lives easier when browsing these forums.
If you would like to examine the URL, after clicking it, you can view your address bar, or with some browsers you can hover your mouse tool tip over the hyperlink to reveal it's full URL.

While it is not removing clues, it is making things more easily read and accessed, which promotes the game better. In ILB, such back-hacking was not the best form of explorative URL sniffing anyways.

Keep it cool.

 		I don't remember this being mentioned so I'll write it anyway,

If you try to sign up for the newsletter for the second time you get the following message.

I imagine we will find our next clue here.

Dear Loch -

While I appreciate the hidden meaning behind full long URLs, I also understand the horror of horizontal scrolling and the way full long URLs expand the forum structure to make it nearly unreadable. It's right up there with ginormous user avatar and signature images on things that make us all go "GAH!"

Clicking on a link, in case you were unaware, brings up the full long URL (and the page that goes with it) in a new browser window, where, if you look in that little box at the top after the HTTP://, it lists the whole thing for you in an easy to read format that doesn't make the forums cry. So despite your concern that we're ruining it, I really don't think you need to be concerned. The information is still saved. You can even mouse over the link and see it in the bottom part of your browser window if you're concerned about clicking on anything merely linked. Isn't technology amazing?

So, to conclude, thank you for bringing the whole link issue to my attention, though please be assured that no information is being lost, but rather, a courtesy is being favored for all with their forum viewing. This is what we do, and as always, here at UnFiction, we do things the way they should be dooed.

Sincerely,
ScarpeGrosse

 		Haven't seen this mentioned. After the two letters in the Joop Loop, when the red writing comes up, there is an area of text that is enclosed in a black box, and also some words that are underlined.
The black box area has:
Quote:
team has been welcomed with open arms into
dation's Experimental Station in Zanzibar.
xamination of the Station has made it clear

And the underlined part:
our close relationship with your organization -- or sound alarms before the need is absolutely clear. On

 		Hey all, it's Brian from Art of the Heist. This one got my interest. Here's some info I haven't seen posted here yet......

On the Mental Health Appeal Page there is a section of the Hanso quote that is clickable. Clicking it opens the "inquire today" text block.

Here's the section of clickable words, looks like a clue don't it?



--------------------------------

The hidden page you guys found a few pages back appears to be just a test page left up by the webmaster. The same video can be found here and shows Bush Sr. wearing the same pin.

-------------------------------

A guy over at Lost-forum.com decompiled the entire site. You can see the raw contents here

-------------------------------

Translations of the Danish music DJ can be found near the bottom of the page here. It doesn't sound like anything important.

---------------------------------

There's a very good Lost wiki here.

 		Given that the hold music on 1.877.HANSORG contains an ad that starts "If you post your resume on monster.com...", I went over there to look at resumes.

Search for "Hanso" and you'll find a resume titled: "Hanso Exec seeks future employment." The free preview says the poster's most recent job title was "Communications Director" and he's looking for a job as "Human Relations Executive." Is Hugh MacIntyre out of work? Is he about to be? Maybe we should expect him to leak some job-threatening information soon...

I can't read the whole resume - looks like it costs money. Is anyone signed up for this? Can they get the resume for us to look at??

Namaste. Very Happy

 		If you try reading that as a sentence...

"Not merely be brightest lights, but test light the way fort shine for"


To me, not making much sense is that.. unless the tests light the way for a shiny fort?

EDIT - I just tried the search on monster.com and got nothing?... you sure it was on www.monster.com ?

That's awesome! Good find! I wonder if it's legit.


In regards to the brightest lights quote, I take it to mean that those in the crazy bin may not be very smart, but they're great for running tests on.

 		To find the monster.com bit you have to go to the Employer section and do a sample search of the resumes.

If the search term is 'hanso' it comes up with three entries, one of which looks particularly relevant. (see attachment)
