[Nighthawk]

In an effort to quash this site... has anyone bothered to read what it says on that site?

They mention BP, or British Petroleum, BY NAME, and not in a good way. Paramount would never dare to mention a company like that in a bad light or else they would get their collective asses pinned to the wall by a lawsuit of epic proportions.

It also, for that matter, mentions The Sierra Club by name. Again, Paramount would not risk that.

Tagruato, when it has used names in the past, has strived to use names of companies that aren't real and cannot be traced, such as the research center. There's nobody that can sue them in those cases.

Furthermore, this site is hosted on GoDaddy. For the record, GoDaddy mail services has the option to create a "catch all" email account, which will be the recipient of ALL emails, INVALID OR OTHERWISE, and will not send bouncebacks. If you set one up, you will *never* get a bounceback from there regardless of what email address you send to because, no matter what, all mail will be redirected in to one account. Trust me on that; I've done it before.

Guys, put this to rest. Parallax has been around for ages with no path from Tagruato, and is now attempting to capitalize by subtle gamejacking, or perhaps not attempting a gamejack at all (based on the "catch all" email address).

Okay, let me help nighthawk and the other cynics here. There are three BIG clues this site is OOG, but the last is most important.

1) None of the other IG sites have used domainsbyproxy to hide themselves.
2) If this site belongs to the Cause, a group that was able to hack a corp. like Tagruato, it would be surprising that the Cause has such a poorly done website.
3) By simply googling the text on akaParallax, you'll see that everything they say is a huge bowl of copy pasta.

For example,
"Oil is extremely toxic to a wide variety of marine species, and current cleanup methods are incapable of removing more then a small fraction of the oil spilled in marine waters."

That was taken from here: http://sierraclub.org/wildlands/coasts/factsheets/2006-07_hurricanepollution.pdf

And this: "The Atlantic Ocean provides some of the world's most heavily trafficked sea routes," etc.

Um. Sorry if I missed this elsewhere

It IS an interesting site, but I've been swayed. It doesn't look in-game, after weighing up all the evidence. Another ARG, perhaps?

The last song, track 10, DNA remix is Birthday Cake by Cibo Matto.

It appears the songs arnt remixes.

No, zooboomafoo. The site is 99.9% OOG. Let it die.

[W-Three]

I woudlnt say 99.9%. The fact they chose such an obscure email address for the auto-reply to auto-reply to still bugs me. I would say more 75%.

[matt_ethec]

W-3, What connection do people see to this, if any?

I mean how did it come on to the radar, so to speak? It seems that the general consensus is to be hostile towards discussing this site, but why did it start getting attention?

[W-Three]

I have no idea. The reason its been discussed now is because of an email.

No idea how it was first found.


EDIT:

Track six is Murder In The Big House by Chagall Guevara

Track seven is Every little thing counts by Janus Stark

[matt_ethec]

Do you think the lines on the progress bar have any relevance? They are at a fixed position, so when the bar reaches that time its at a different time in each song.

For Hands its 2:52 and 3:46.
Chemical 2:35 and 3:24
So on.

So its obviously up to something. If not Cloverfield related, what could it be?
