and here's the whois for the site.

http://whois.domaintools.com/ckrox.com

Well... what do we have here?

(further tagged as OFF-TOPIC and OUT-OF-GAME by catherwood)

 		I'm pretty sure ckrox is just the username of the guy who created the flash. Doesn't seem like anything special.

 		the filename of the flash asset is spring06_v1.swf -- i wonder if he launched version 1 back in spring of 2006 and just forgot about it.

the fact that the domain registry was "Created: 2004-02-08" really makes it unlikely to be used in a new game.

(moving info from that other thread to here):

Someone found a sub-directory that http://www.ckrox.com/angelusplace/ which has a September 2007 date, a Colorado city, and a street address (which seems to be in Venice, California?)

 		Dog's eye.
In the eye of the first dog ( on the angelusplace page of ckrox ) it looks like a guy standing next to a futuristic looking desk/control port. Right click and zoom in for viewing pleasure.

 		Well, there is a theory that Ckrox is just a designer for the ethan haas website and the Divinus thing was just his/her tag, put there for credit.

I believe thats a pretty logical explanation, but you guys can decide.

 		Can we please un-tag this as Ethan Haas? Rather confusing... if you mean that the site is a different potential ARG, why label it as HAAS?

 		And you get a clearer view of the room (on the sides of the screen) when you type it in like this: http://www.ckrox.com/spring06_v1.swf

Its source was the EHWR.com flash game, so the HAAS label stands, but I have added the tags for OUT-OF-GAME and OFF-TOPIC, assuming people will get the message.

(rolling eyes, but i dislike emoticons)
