Actually, it used to lead to a page on the site with things that the people said, etc.

I didn't really take a screenshot, but it wasn't the default eon8 page.

In any case, the countdown finishes soon. Awesome.

Hey guys. I haven't been around here in a while but I got a link to a YTMND about this one (not sure if you guys are familiar with that site or not). Anyway, here's the link.

Don't know if it's a plant or if it's just someone trying to figure it out, but it looks interesting. I might just jump on board for this one.

Ok. Alot of you have been wondering how the map works and what it is. Here is your answer.

It is correct that the map display's from where the site has been accessed via IP. I have used proxies from all around the globe and i can prove to you that this is the case.

Secondly the map itself is a simple .gif. Not a flash or a editable picture so how do the dots appear? Well the asnwer is quite simple. There is a .gif for a red dot stored on the server. Now in html if you want to put an image somewhere you have to specify its coordinates. Just like a graph.

Well the makers of the site made software that automatically puts dots on the map. The software knows where major countries and cities are located. And it knows the page coordinates for that location on the map.

So what happens. When you connect to the server the server uses your IP and stores it (i think) and encrypts it so other people could not read it. Then it looks up your IP and checks what location you are in. It Estimates your location to the nearest major city and it already knows the coordinates on the map for it. So it knows you are logged in from africa so it places a dote over the map where the coordinates for your city are. And this way to DOT.Gif overlaps the MAP.Gif.

My 2 cents

Maybe it's like a TV Show, and the person who solves the riddles wins like 9 million quid or something? :O

The word 'Theta' among the projects strikes me. It is the beginning of the word 'Thetan' and I feel could be related to Scientology. But that's just me. Hope this helps!

If you zoom up on the map picture with all of the red dots, you'll notice that the dots aren't part of the map, but are just dots that are there.

I dunno if it has already been said, sorry if it has.

here is what i dug up

and
""Please immediately consult C22:S13 of your handbook for further instructions."
C22:S13 could mean: Chapter 22 Section 13
in the bible:
Revelations 22:13

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End

Horrorshow work there with the bible stuff, Serge.

I also have something to contribute, I suppose. I forget where I've read it in my research of here, but someone said the password was 5 characters long, I think. Then it struck me, the dog. The dog's name is Oscar. Perhaps that's the password.
