 		Well I was one of the people who got the lovecraft email. And honestly made me giggle like a school girl seeing Mountain of Madness for the first time!

Yog-Sothoth is the key and the gate.

ETA:got Steves email from Bob as well and decided to be goofy.

"A friend sent me an email saying we may have some things in common to discuss... thought I'd drop a line and say hello.

Tenshi

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

For those who don't know the last is a line that means In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. Figured I'd see if it scared him away or got an interesting reply LOL

 		Well I'm in.

"I wish not to discuss Cthulu and his resting place. If you were sent here to join the Dunwich Scholar Society then you are in. The fact you know of R'lyeh is proof enough you are a scholar. Our website is dunwichscholars.wordpress.com
"

So we have a website now.

 		I think it has to do with a Caesar box because all the 'words' are 5 letters long.

 		I fail at substitution ecspecially when the words aren't spaced right. Bob is the Cultist/scholar's brother.

 		At the very least I'd say you'd have enough there to start a thread for the Dunwich Scholars Society.

ETA most of the way there with the substitution:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
BOB MS WATCHMNG US. WE MUST OPEN THE GATE BEFORE BOB MANAGES TO STOP OUR PLANS VXZ.

Needs a little work and may be an error in encryption, but you get the idea
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
BOB IS WATCHING US. WE MUST OPEN THE GATE BEFORE BOB MANAGES TO STOP OUR PLANS XYZ.
It was a keyed caesar with the key YOGSOTHOTH

 		Covert Affairs
Not sure where to post this. On the spy show "Covert Affairs", the lead character's calling card was flashed on screen. The number starts with 555, so it is likely a fictional number. Can anyone check if the numbers are working?
