Should be some Streaming Audio if the source code indicates anything.

TPM will contact the forum you are at when he's done
this is only the beginning of something much bigger

And you posted the text from it above.
The last message from TPM in chat probably referred to /foryoureyesonly.html, meaning we should bookmark it and check back when everything's finished.

Hmmm.
Well, if there's a ShoutCast server, it's not running on the normal port 8000 it would seem.
I don't like that just for that site, when I type invalid URLs and wait, it redirects me to a URL that tries to load an object that my antivirus heuristically detects as an exploit. It's a very cheesy looking page it points to at that. Not apparently an issue at other domains for me, so I don't think it's my end - and no, I'm not using IE anyway.
Ever get the idea maybe someone is having a laugh at your expense?
Makes me wonder...

yep, and maybe even making some cash at our expense? The redirects are so annoying, I doubt I'll be following it any longer. And the title has it correct, it's a puzzle trail not an arg. It should be in the TimeWasters section.

I was thinking the same things....all the popups and redirects are annoying. I might change security settings for that site, to see if it helps stop some of it.
If it's not an ARG....then why does the source of the main page say It is an ARG? I think I'll wait and see what happens with it anyways.
Edit: Added site to Restricted under security (yes, in IE, I know, I know, but Firefox takes so long to load) and it has stopped all the craziness.
Source page for /future has this:
399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 526 640 917 51 415 140 573 716 965 688 395 829 76 810 801 733 244 95 205 283 488 189 705 173 743 574 947 608 694 973 886 298 223 449 99 309 936 432 209 623 454 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 526 640 917 51 415 140 573 716 965 688 395 829 76 810 801 733 244 95 205 283 488 189 705 173 743 574 947 608 694 973 886 298 223 449 99 309 936 432 209 623 454 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 526 640 917 51 415 140 573 716 965 688 395 829 76 810 801 733 244 95 205 283 488 189 705 173 743 574 947 608 694 973 886 298 223 449 99 309 936 432 209 623 454 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 526 640 917 51 415 140 573 716 965 688 395 829 76 810 801 733 244 95 205 283 488 189 705 173 743 574 947 608 694 973 886 298 223 449 99 309 936 432 209 623 454 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863 526 640 917 51 415 140 573 716 965 688 395 829 76 810 801 733 244 95 205 283 488 189 705 173 743 574 947 608 694 973 886 298 223 449 99 309 936 432 209 623 454
Haven't spent much time on it, but came up with the registered trademark symbol (R in a circle). It might just be code for the webbot. Don't know at this point in time (wasted time ).

The big block of numbers is just the following repeated 5 times:
Code:
399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863

399 310 772 188 121 747 908 375 658 989 471 891 842 282 539 788 863
526 640 917 51 415 140 573 716 965 688 395 829 76 810 801 733 244

Extra spaces and carriage returns added by me.

The Post by "Sarkiroka" contains the EXACT same numbers in the "EXACT' same order, but i think it's a japanese site
EDIT: crap, everyone is sarkiroka (wonder what that means) ... Anyway it's the January 19 post at 6:45 8th post from the top
EDIT: Also, at second glance it's not japanese but hungarian or something. Who knows. I only know spanish and english.

The numbers seem to be related to PHP's error handling during page redirection. Not something that the PM? intended.

The original website (first post on here) plus all of the different answers we have been adding e.g. /future
http://tisnarg.fasthosty.com/future
Without adding it to restricted site, it will only redirect you to the page from hell. (Pops ups and will not let you back to original page.) Currently there is nothing on this page.....just blank (grey).
It looks like it's just an error page. Since it is not redirecting me, anything I type that is not a site, just shows blank. (much preferred over being sent to other site though).
