But didn't we just move down a slot meaning there should be something out there we're looking for?

I think, "File List B4" is now the thing we're waiting. Perhaps there will be contact to somebody, I mean to the guy, who wrote, he could "answer your questions. I have proof."

And what does mean:

This looks like its gonna be fun.

Reminds me of the sense of mystery surrounding the original 1.18.08 trailer, but then that's to be expected, its JJ Abrams!

Anyone know what "CBC" is? When the page first loads, it says something about CBC 2002. The only thing I could find is something about birds Laughing

This is going to be interesting.

I'm doing some work on capturing the letters from the official site. Should have something in about twenty minutes or so. [EDIT] Bah. My video capturing device seems to increase the lens flare on the lens so that the letters are barely readable. Having to look for a different solution. [EDIT 2] Ok, got a better capture. Working on yanking out the letters.

Not *to* markmonitor.com. MarkMonitor.com is merely the registrar that the real owner bought the domain from. When you do a whois via a command line tool or a normal ol' webpage, you'll often only get the results of the registrar. But almost always, the registrar will have their own WHOIS server which, in MarkMonitor.com's case is at their website. Unfortunately, a whois lookup of the domain there shows it's protected (i.e., traditionally that means it's owned by the corporate entity putting the game on and not by a character).

OK, at Cloverfield they used GoDaddy, they also hid all the registration data.

Great job with decoding and trying to decode!

Btw, just in case you want to see the whole program script, I did it for you (there was already a screenshot before, but here is the full script).

I noticed a name towards the top..."D. Morris". Other than that, not much to glean from the info given.

BTW, a hearty thank you to JJ for timing this just as Marble Hornets went on break. He's so considerate! Laughing

EDIT: I also couldn't find anything on a DAC based out of Acton, MA. The closest is a DAC Group based out of Wilmington that's listed as a Medical Supply Store. Although, if memory serves...Acton was used in an episode of Fringe...I can't remember which one.

Well, a reverse IP trace confirms that this site is hosted on the same server as all of the other Paramount Picture websites, including the old Cloverfield sites. So this is definitely put on by them.

You can always try a trace like that through this site: http://www.my-ip-neighbors.com

Hey Kosmopol, would you be able to upload that pic as an attachment rather than using the image tags? It prevents the stretchimification of the forum as pics are automatically resized (though you can still view the original).


I'm addled after staying up for election results, but losing track of what things are and where they are from in Super 8, so here are my questions:

1. Super 8 is not Cloverfield 2, it's another film (though looks a bit creature featurey), correct? (I ask to be sure and as then it might be good to edit the subheading of this thread)

2. What is the connection to 500 Rads?

3. What sites seem to be involved so far?
