 		I called 616-666-3749 and got a voice message:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Welcome and thank you for calling MERG-X. Due to the long holiday all company services including Trilon will be closed until January 17, 2012. To our employees seeking assistance regarding technical errors including but not limited to hardware malfunctions, textual display, and entry functions - technicians are actively seeking solutions. Currently technical difficulties are isolated to company phone lines and web interfaces. Thank you.


There's a beep at the end so I left a message.

EDIT:
I also noticed on the http://www.trilontesting.com/ site that for the sodium element block slide (29) there is no larger font heading. All the other elements have one.

 		I think we may have moved too fast for them this morning... I called that same number and got a generic google Voicemail box. When I called tonight I got the same thing you got.

Sent out a few emails to the addresses we have so far. Let's see who nibbles on what...

Anyone try calling again today yet? I am not big on making phone calls myself.

 		I just called again and got the same voicemail message. It's about 1:55 EST here - so maybe it just hasn't been updated yet. Maybe I'll call later tonight to see if there's a change. If so - I'll post it here.

There's a new block with a link for volunteers to fill in and submit information at http://www.trilontesting.com/ . It's the Volunteer Update block at the bottom of the second column. I'll have to complete it and see what happens.

Also, I noticed that the order of the blocks has changed. Before the 04 Trilon block was at the bottom left corner. Now it's next to the 01 intro block. Some of the others have changed too.

I swear I saw them moving around when I was looking at it the other day, but maybe I just resized the browser slightly or something.

Edit: Filled out the form. Didn't ask for an email or anything, so I'd say that if you fill out the form, make sure you use the same name you used in the email you sent(if you use a fake name for these things), or make sure you send an email as well.

Edit again: Got an email from merg-x from the email I used to sign up for site updates.

 		Well - forget the part about the blocks moving.

I just checked it on my computer at home and it looks like it did previously. So it must have been the browser or screen resolution that made it appear differently on my work computer. I think it only had 3 blocks per column, which pushed the 04 Trilon block to the top of the next column. On this computer there are 4 blocks per column and 04 Trilon is at the bottom of the first column.

Yeah, I think it's just resolution based, or something.
I got a reply from the email I sent about volunteering, directing me to the new form.

 		For those who haven't gotten it, here's the two emails I think we've all been getting, spoiler'd for those who don't want them spoiled.

From Trilon:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Hello,
Thank you for your interest in Trilon. We would like to further advance your application, for we feel you are competitive for the Trilon Volunteer position. We believe you hold potential to thrive in our challenging community.
In order to advance your application, additional information is required. Trilon volunteer applications require a basic information form. Upon completion, results will be analyzed to ensure you are in proper condition for testing.
Thank you again for your interest,
WWW.TRILONTESTING.COM
Volunteer Opprotunities
volunteer.servicesSPLATtrilontesting.com
(MERG-X ltd.)


From MERG-X:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):


Announcements:

General:

Its not too late to sign up and work with our high-end scientists on cutting-edge experiments. Trilon testing is still in the beginning stages of uncovering future volunteers to demonstrate the best of our society. To request services; email volunteer.service@trilontesting, or check out Trilon's website for further details.

Current Drug Shortages - The FDA has released a comprehensive list of drug shortages, which include more medications than listed previously. MERG-X can only provide links and information directing towards the FDA's public list, for we are unable to disclose information involving specifics with our medication lists.

Social Media Impacts - MERG-X continues to initiate plans to survey health care professionals on the impact direct-to-consumer (DTC) drug promotion has on medicinal practices. This begins nearly a decade after practitioners and specialists were asked about the influence that DTC promotion had on their practice. In the 2002 survey, which focused on traditional DTC advertising, about a third of the respondents said such promotion had no influence.

**************************************
To learn more about MERG-X, email customer.servicesSPLATmerg-x.com



Has anything changed at either of the websites?

 		There is a new voicemail message. The message goes so quickly that I had to call many times to get it all. I think this is right -

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Thank you for calling MERG-X. Volunteers for the Trilon project, please check you email for additional information. For employees: all systems have returned to normal operating function with the exception of our inorganic munitions facilities. Our technicians are having difficulty assessing damages and are now working extended hours to resolve the issue.


munitions?

 		I don't have enough time available to actively participate, but this definitely looks interesting. I'll help out if I can. Okay, back to lurking now.

 		Found a MERG-X twitter: https://twitter.com/MERGXltd
A 12 Jan tweet links to Trilontesting so def legit.

Also in the source code for /Leadership there is this

Quote:
org idsrc="xmltag.org" value="NASDAQ-NMS:AMGN">MERG-X</org>


I have no idea what this means but AMGN is the real-world company Amgen, Inc.
