[QUESTION] Has the significance of USH been reviewed?

I cannot help to feel that USH is a much bigger player in this ARG than anyone else. Think about it. Why go through the hassle of having all the game sites hosted through a fake hosting company? (I know, it allows outsiders to determine 'in-game' and 'outside' sites.) It would have been very easy to make the hosting transparent. There has to be a reason why.

Question

So you can tell quickly if something is ingame or not.

I agree. More than anything, I think they're doing it to avoid having big companies complain when they receive hundreds of e-mails asking about Beth McConnell.

Instead of randomly going to websites and hacking into them in hopes of finding game related information, they chose to make it obvious what websites are in-game. It keeps things from getting "out of control".

maybe I'm just new but....

I came up with that too joe, yet, I just have a gnawing feeling that their 'role' is more important than the attention we've given.
