Actually hacking into the site is a possible problem...in that It's uh...illegal. The issue of truly hacking a site has been an issue talked over many times in the ARG community...
I suspect/hope that there is something more, some other way to get in...

So maybe not hacking per se in a real time way, but in the in world arg sort of way that was done previously - which

Ok, I'm having a blonde moment, could you perhaps explain to me what is/could be meant by this, thanks...

In the original "round" or whatever we'd call it, when the thing first launched, there was "hackery" going on. Not in a brute force kinda way, but working the clues Kane sent and getting into the actual server or whatever they got into, that wasn't secure. It wasn't secure on purpose.
All I'm saying is that we got the instructions - Kane has told us to look again at what was going on in March 2007 - meaning hit the archive for Visce original trailhead and get a refresher on what was going on. Chris told us to look at/for the keys that Kane hid deep in their server. And the hidden comment is basically going 'oh no, don't do that, don't mess with it' until we're done...'
Well the original thread that's how people were getting hidden files and images and such, and moving it along. The whole thing was about hacking into Visce for information to help Kane.
So all I'm saying is we need to do that again, given the clues Kane has given us - both current and likely back in March.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
There is the illegal hacking that I get is not cool. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about the fictional kinda shit that got us inside Visce to begin with - that they set up for us to do. That was the point ;-p Cause Visce isn't real so hacking them doesn't count as illegal ;-p

Oh No....Back to the top we go TJI My my...seems the boyz might be a tad testy over that whole hackery suggestion...but hey...guess who's back in town?
Mr Antichrist himself (joke!!) Tatiano...
Got this email in - again to the personal one but I suppose I can handle it. Now, first was Brehon, then the Chris Lee reply, none from Kane, and now...Mr Tatiano.
I'll just paste the whole thing here, with headers - since that was a new one:

Karensa , did you add ALL of the #'s in your quoted mail? Just trying to delineate what we're actually looking at decoding.

well....
This part that's in quotes:
ldksxntqrbza
rots out to "meltyourscab'
"melt your scab"
No, not kidding.
Possible anagram?
Possible keywords "CRUCIAL WARNING"
Anything in the source code?
Possible just plain gibberish?
Will try some more stuff later.
SirQuady- nope just me. Had an even goofier avatar then. My only claim to fame was a solve of the Quipu string puzzle, by far the easiest one.

PS ..and the only reason I referred to him as Mr. Antichrist was one of the things I remembered from last time - apparently Chris Tatiano anagrams out to antichrist. ;-p
So it wasn't a shot.
EDIT: SITE UPDATED...sorta
Totally blank, nothing in source but this:

He's late.
