Well, we did register as investors, and have yet to receive a real email from Weyland Industries. I suggest we wait - the password may come to us.

Hi, I just joined, this would be my first ARG.

The site works fine for me now.

I have also found this site:

http://theprojectprometheus.com/

But it appears to be OOG. Checking it's registration date states that it is registered at 2012-02-10 which is before weylandindustries got updated.

Is it just a fan made site for Prometheus?

the only thing that stands out on the new timeline is that a lot of the so called 'patents' refer (when the number in googled) to some medical site:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed

Maybe its coincidence, they might just use this order of numbers for indexing there site.

just to add further (off-game) evidence that project prometheus site is in-game and owned by fox:

1. whois info shows the site is on fox's name servers.
mark monitor is a registrar service they use, as well as any other company, to protect 'brand' ownership and host sites. heck, wikipedia.org just migrated their servers away from godaddy recently and to mark monitor.

2. the site's google analytics has the same id and an incremental code of 25. it is owned by fox.

3. there are links directly to it from weylandindustries.com (as seen by previous posts)

Someone just linked this to me:

Judging by the name, this could be the "OUR FAMILY IS GROWING" module on the Weyland Industries site, except that it's not active yet. When, and how was this video obtained, I have no idea.

That link explains the source of the video. Excellent! I wish I was anywhere near the US so I could attend that convention.
As for the viral video, the Prometheus Project logo can be seen at the end of it. Could it have any clues regarding the password for that site?

From the first scene we see one of the Engineers, and we also see it walking towards the derelict-model ship chair, about to lift off.
There's also a series of murals with more inscriptions on them, which can be added to the above posted drawings.
It seems like Elizabeth Shaw is in a relationship with one of the characters?
