 [REFERENCE] LIST OF GAMEJACKS, FANSITES, UNRELATED

[catherwood-offline]

we already have this information in a sticky -- i'm not going to sticky this, nor am I going to maintain the same information in two different threads. If it helps, I can rename the existing REF thread with blinking marquee text and a more descriptive title.

[tinag222]

Nope, no need. Was trying to be helpful here. New ones can find this specific info at a glance since they don't already know this info is inside another reference thread...

EDIT - I'll sticky it! I think it's a lovely compendium of information that was needed. Thank you for your work! - SG

I don't see the harm in having this information separated out from the other thread. It's clear and well-labelled.

tinag222, can you keep it updated? I like what you did here.

[tinag222]

I will do my best to stay on it....with one disclaimer: when I potwatch both sites, nothing happens for days, weeks. Soon as I get off the computer and do other stuff for 24 hours, BAM, they suddenly add new stuff then I have to backtrack and catch up. For the record, this has been largely *why* I've asked about this or that latest thing - not from failure to search or just asking the same old stuff, but because I wanted to update the timeline itself and it's faster to just ask for a quick reference about when it was added, how long it's been up, if and where it's discussed...so I can go see it and get the info out of it for the timeline so it doesn't get so far behind. I am keeping up. I'm an obsessed nerd like the rest of ya

That being said, I have this to add, or ask, and it's directly related to whatever sites are found and asked about.

It seems to be the going speculation that the Abrams camp simply wasn't ready to launch when 1-18 was found, hence the typos on Slusho, or the 3 pages being made fresh for us, or the changes to the photos on 1-18, or the myspace profiles comments and such....

Well, one of the main criteria here on legitimizing in game sites is the whois info creation dates happening prior to the sites even being found, ready or not. If they're not ready, and if it is as speculated they're basically making it up/or making it as they go along, who's to say they won't actually create a site next month that's in game? What criteria will be used aside from creation date to evaluate whether it may well be a newly created in game site? I've been curious how this is going to be treated if it comes up, since most people are dismissing sites based, it seems, almost exclusively on post July 3 creation date - for a camp that is believed to not have its shit together whatsoever, or who seem to be randomly changing and adding things that are arbitray and irrelevant "just" to keep up with a playerbase waiting to do something. IMOHO, I don't think any of this is irrelevant or arbitrary, or that they're not 'ready' - I think it is all of us not on the ball, not them. But the majority seem to think otherwise and if so, what happens if and when a new site is created - by the camp - after the fact?

Looking at the spreadsheet info on the [REF] thread i don't think Mrlena and Hud know each other.

Thanks for doing this tinag 222. I was considering breaking this out into a separate section from the reference myself - you beat me to it. If people weren't aware that the OOG section was in the reference part of the thread, they wouldn't look there.

This is very Signeficte to other who have st up other phony sites i have to say and give that guy props for what he did

[Nighthawk]

...and, even with that, you know people *still* think it's all related?

Face it: we can't win. "Evil always wins because good is dumb."

Addition to OOG list

[dlobryan1]

I was checking some websites to see if they were IG or not and I tried http://www.01182008.com and saw some stuff yet when I came here I saw it wasn't listed as IG or OOG.

What made me wonder about it was that the first post on there was on July 17th and mentioned Ruth (Rob's grandma) before anyone had supposedly found Rob's Myspace account. It just might be that the blogger could have manipulated the posting date somehow, but I don't know much about that.


Can someone who is more in the know than I check this out and see if it's IG or not?

Regards,
D

This looks like a game jack or a fansite...bit it's definitely not an "in game" site. It's not an actual site. The domain resolves to

http://thecloverfieldproject.blogspot.com/


which is the bigger give-away. It also has a graphic from a frame of the trailer, its named cloverfield project....so whatever they have in mind is an OOG sort of blog, or they really suck at game jacking. And it's on the list actually - first one.
