Josh Trager's blog couldn't be a red hearing, could it? There aren't any blogs for the other family members. Will keep it under the magnifying glass.

UPDATE

Okay, ABC is keeping fairly consistent and keeping the times set right... the times in Josh's blog show a 3 hour time difference from me on the East Coast, so Josh is indeed posting from the West Coast... it also means that the blog only went up about two hours ago, if the date is straight.

yeah the blog definitely looks fakish to me. How convenient that it is a clue, but that madacorp "removed" it from the source code after some guy found it but before anyone else saw it.

Also an interesting note on "red" things in the show.. the numbers on the Ouija board are red. The new phone message also looks like it should anagram to something like "red ouija date"

I decided to get the picture of Josh from the blog and put it side by side with a picture of Josh I cropped from a legit picture on ABC family. They're are a little small, but as you can see it's all legit. I also couldn't find the picture online, which supports that it is an ABC family thing. Smart of whoever did this to use an anonymous website for the blog, it just makes things that much harder for everyone.

Names

RED herring.

RED does not always mean stop.


I think that's stupid logic, but thought I'd bring it out anyway.

It would be really easy to do, actually, because he could just cut and paste the code into notepad, type in new code, slip the window over the madacorp screen and take a snapshot of it. The placement of the HTML in the code is especially strange... I know ARG's are known for their oddities, but that's just stupid. On the other hand, there is a <! character in the HTML as it stands RIGHT NOW... it's located above all the margin stuff.

That blog went up August 1... the thread on ABC's site with the screen cap went up August 1... Josh's blog went up at 5:04... and 47 minutes later, at 5:51, the screen cap picture is up on that thread. 47 minutes would be about the time necessary to add in a fake URL, take a cap of it, upload the picture to the net, log onto a forum, post a picture of it, and all the other crap he would need to do to create a fake clue.

ABC didn't reserve the blogspace in advance, either. Josh joined Blogger on August (look at the user profile). His first blog went up on August 1. Wouldn't ABC want to create that account earlier, so nobody could nab the blogspace and fake people out?

Isn't it a bit coincidental that this guy just HAPPENED to take a screencap of the code? And why would Josh just decide to start blogging on August 1?

Lori's blog?

[joe_swink]

OK well I will say this much, it doesn't seem logical that they would have a clue hidden in the source code of the mada site and then just gank it. I mean, the mada page is the rabbithole into the game (MADa blog.) If the arg makers were planning to use blogspace or any other blogging site/aim stuff they would have reserved the names long before the game started to prevent the possibility of someone else taking the names they would need for the game. (For example, on yahoo, LTrager; LoriTrager and Lori_trager are all taken already. on aim similar names for the family members and even tom foss. and check this out: http://www.loritrager.blogspot.com/ found it with a blog search. funny thing is, it wasn't there until after the post on the abcfamily website, but nothing was posted about it. So my guess is he's not "finished' making it and maybe he'll come up with some other cock-and-bull story about the ADAm blog having that link in its source code or some crap, but they removed it after he found it and took a screen cap.

The Lori blog reeks of some teenage girl. But not Lori. Lori has enough respect for Kyle to at least capitalize his name. And no way would Lori give us her email. She just doesn't seem like the blog person, and I think she would've had a blog before now (no reason for her to not).

[joe_swink]

Personally I think the lori and josh blogs just plain reek.

Btw a few minutes go the lori blog seems to have been edited and now this is found at the bottom:

BATHS LIE FOG SKI!

BEHOLD FROGS JOG!!!

Anagramed out it says something like This blog fake, josh forged blog. I dunno didn't work it all out. anyway, bogus crap that needs to be erased from my mind completely...

[rafekett]

Yeh, and then it says "Be not swayed by false deceivers!". So I guess we've all spent our day trying to figure out something fake .

Onto more serious matters, I still can't find Dean from Texas, Kylie from Colorado, or Wizeone in the comments on the Mada blog! The way they are responded to makes them seem key. But they may just be playing tricks on us.

Also, more reason to believe the time travel theory. The Mada blog says "The Ouija does not lie" and that means 781227 is Kyle's birthday (which translates out to 12/3/4038).
