I feel sorry for Dreyfus Health, then, because their servers are about to get swamped with misguided Lost fans...

[SpiralBoundBook]

Wow, yeah, especially since there is a "Log-In" place to a database that they describe as having "a heart and soul." (http://www.thf.org/data.html)

[skywisej]

I really can't understand how the PMs wouldn't check if there was a website of THF.org before they sent the masses there. That's just strange. Poor Dreyfus workers.

[AngelAnger]

I set back my computer clock to May 1 and tried logging in to the bios, mental health and small log in at bottom with various combinations of "breaking strain" "missing organs" and "may 1" with no luck.

Dreyfus Health does seem legit but it doesn't help matters for them that the first letters of their name is the first 2 letters of Dharma

Honestly, I think the phone lines going down was mostly intentional... the press releases are likely just another movement in the game, especially with the Persephone subsite reveal.

But still, it is missing a big step if you don't check that the site aconyms you're posting have a real counterpart in cyberspace. That's pretty blunderous.

(Although, if this site isn't in-game, which it doesn't seem to be because it links directly to hospitals, the PMs are to be responsible, but so is thelostexperience, who didn't report about what the link was to. They have now, it seems, but still, knowing they are a public repository for public solutions to these puzzles, one would hope they'd at least check it out before they linked it... whatever, though. They fixed it now, all is good)

[Got Haggis?]

could it be that you are supposed to move the 1 13 places too, so really it would be May 14th?

edit: OR could it be the 31st, since it would have been reversed. The 31st IS a wednesday.

oh wait that doen't make sense, it would be the 41st

[theShaggy]

I don'tk now if this is considered an off-topic debate here, but

If they don't care that THF.org is actually a real site, then they were willing to deal with someone else's site crashing due to high-volume without being told, their site being crawled and torn to shreds etc. in an attempt to disprove it's legitimacy, etc.

It isn't hard to fix, and there is probably an easy way to say the same thing without causing another company undue distress.

[JebJoya]

On IRC, they haven't had any luck logging in with computer clock set to the 14th, so perhaps we actually have to wait til the 14th... Also, it may give us time to actually find out how exactly we are supposed to log in (which log in box, what username, etc)... Although this isn't to say stop trying to think up ideas! It could well not be that, and we just don't know... Anyone?

Anyone...?
