[POSTER/COUNTDOWN] Dont Hold Back

_4OURTY2 from IU wrote:
So I'm coming out of the corner store when I suddenly notice that every lamp post has a poster on it. They're just black with the URL: "www.dont-hold-back.com" and DON'T HOLD BACK. The website seems mysterious and just says coming soon and has the deffinitions of "concept" and "idea".

There's sound too, it's just quiet... a heart beating, white noise, breathing, etc...weird.

ARG? Or maybe viral marketing? I'm just surprised it's shown up in my town! I'll post a picture sometime.

EDIT: They're up in the nearby town of Perth as well.


Apparently there's more posters popping up, and they have an amazing amount of hits. Definatly not from posters

I came across this thread a la Google...

The posters are everywhere around town. I've also seen some election-style signs along the Queensway with the same message. Apparently by-law people are trying to find out who's putting them up. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone. I don't know when they go up.

Very curious. Laughing

Keep an eye open, will ya?

And feel free to stick around for some other ARGs, feel free to PM me if you need any help understanding all this Wink

So I fideled around with google and search for all sites mentioning www.dont-hold-back.com, and I came up with this girl's myspace (very OOG) with some comments mentioning the site (I think they found the posters, they're from Perth, Canada)

I have no clue how a site that (says it) has 800 000+ hits is only mentioned 3 times on the entire internet (here, IU, myspace)

Chris Rossi is someone who created a social experiment called Eon8.com, he made a very secret and not really telling you anything site, with an omnious countdown to a time, when it finally counted down, all it said was Happy Birthday mtcaptain(or summit like that).

The funny thing was about Eon8.com, was that everybody linked it to terrorists, or apocalypses, or summit.

You can only do something like that once every 10 years, in my opinion, and it looks like somebody has now tried to do it 9 months and 9 years early.

The sound effects are slightly creepy, at least. I'll keep an eye on this one and see if anything happens.

The shadow in the Concept page looks like it could be Batman's logo!

It kinda does, lol. But I don't think it's a Batman ARG...although that could be kinda cool, now that I think about it.

Why does it say

behind the 'A Concept' button? Not what you'd usually find when you select all Razz

Much as I wouldn't subject anyone else to such a thing, I wonder who's brave enough to stick around and see if it's a screamer?

Furthermore, I wonder why there're definitions for A Concept and An Idea.

Certainly interesting, but still kinda silly.

Hey all!

Nube to this forum... but notta' nube to ARGs... played AI and loved it... but after it was over, I found that the hubby, child, job and housework were seriously cutting into my play time. Razz

I've seen that sign on the Queensway offramp to Kinburn, the onramp @ Arnprior, all over Ottawa. Seriously.... all over Ottawa. There has to be more then a couple of people putting them up... the sheer number of the posters demand it... that also means the more people that are in on it, the more likely something'll get leaked. Why has that not happened yet? ARGH!

Do you think they are waiting for the counter to hit a mill or something?

As for it being a screamer.... I've had it loaded for about 15 minutes... and nothing yet, lol... thank G-d for that too... I HATE those things. Plus... there doesn't seem to be anything in the source that would indicate that any scripts are running... it looks like it was designed with a wysiwyg...

Just my 0.02!
