[UPDATE] All PXC Sites Down - 10 Aug 06 - Say Goodbye to PXC For example:
http://perplexcitysentinel.com/
Scary, but expected, I guess...
Can anyone make out anything in the background (coded, stegged, etc)?

Funky... Just ran into that when looking for updates about this weekend... Sneeky 3P!! I do hope the sites come back for the event though or we won't know what's happening... (Also, I have solves to enter as well... )

Perplexcity.com is working though, or at least for me it is.

That's because it's a Mind Candy site and not one from Perplex City

Stegdetect (from outguess.org) says that bg.jpg is negative for steganography.
Does that three-squares logo belong to the Third Power? It looks familiar, but I can't remember right now exactly why.

Looks like the 3P really don't want us to have a new link...

Yes, that's the symbol for the 3rd Power. My question is, will the link work at SF, since they originate from the same place in PxC?

[SPEC]So, 3P has the Cube and is activating it the center of the city? I mean that's the only real reason to say "Say goodbye to PXC."
I guess if you want to rule over a city that's one way to do it. "I am king of the rubble that was once Perplex City!"[/SPEC]

I see meaning 3P will be cutting off our communication to Perplex City (as it seems they just have) - then PC might as well not exist to us! I don't think it has any 'destruction' meaning...
You know the weird thing though - its like having a peice of you removed. They have been up for so long. They can't take them away!

Totally agree muffin, though everyone seems to be forgetting this and going for the destructionist theory.
Common sense people, common sense.
