 		What line of thinking/searching brought you to this?

 		Yes this is old. It's a gamejack, almost certainly from the same folk who brought you the "i love you mom" Youtube channel and original Josh Minker Facebook page. It is listed in the game summary under gamejack.

Below is the reasoning:
Quote:

To clarify (or quell the suspiciously ardent and vocal proponents) - Meemi, Youtube and Facebook are a collective gamejack from the same individual(s):

    A. Youtube was found by googling hooklineandminker, and appeared after the horse had bolted.
    B. Also that appeared was the clearly dubious meemi, again a google search hit some time after the info was released, which now requires a login to look at.
    C. Youtube was linked to meemi using some weak +1 code.
    D. Facebook is intimately tied to all of the above. They link to all of the GJ sites pretending to be Josh, post (and then delete) amateurish pictures with copied clues, and have set up the pages with the wrong email (presumably how they set up the page).
    E. Anyone can post onto facebook, especially once the images are available
    F. All of the above are linked to hlm1963SPLATlive.com which is not the IG email.

In addition, tracing the sources of the two emails puts them in massively different locations... Better luck next time chaps Razz

 		Just to clarify,

Ladywyntir is not a gamejacker. She is active here on UF and just has those photos in an album from when they were discovered here, I guess to keep tabs on the events going on in the Super8 arg. Looks like she never took it down.

She's my sister, so I'm speaking up for her, I'm assuming she has not seen this thread yet. Very Happy

 		Apologies, I thought that was clear. The pictures come from the Josh Minker FB page (clear GJ; though if you fancy a giggle, trace the Joshs on FB (metaGJ)), and this is the GJ meemi page:
