If you go to http://celsusschool.topcities.com/trash/ you'll find this:

The only thing clickable is the "welcome.txt".

Hi. Sorry about my crude little trash bin, it's fake but it's enough to keep that rat ass off my back. Listen to me, there are at least two people accessing this account other than me, and can see it on the list of IP addresses. In a day or two I will no longer have access at all. That is why I am writing this message; I do not have time to search for the answer. One of these people is definitely the new Celsus headmaster, Victor Infusco. If you are a bright person in this school you will know that he's definitely up to something. I believe there will be a clue somewhere on this web site and he is shutting it down because he wants no one to know. The ONLY morsel of information I have managed to rustle up is this: He has a directory that I can't see. In the list on this account that shows the number of folders, there is always one more than there should be. I can not access or see it because I need a password. I believe that if you know the url to the folder you can view it - but I'm sure it's not that easy. This may help you:

I found it on his desk one time:


Can't seem to find anything in the source.

Here's the pic.

Has anyone updated Tom on this site? Other than the mad props one would expect from him for H4x0R1Ng the site, Laughing, this may be the next step...

Also, I assume that the missing "Batman" post was one of us getting involved where we should not? Rolling Eyes

Also:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
They're strong, I'm yet to see their full progress. I have a special event lined up which should make the picking a lot easier. I will combine it with Phase 3


What could this be? I think this is our next step (after notifying l33t-boy), identifying this event and what they're looking to see...

By the way, does the google toolbar block the popups on this site? (every time you load a page... Evil or Very Mad)

I'm at work on lunch currently, but I think I can get into this game if I'm not clicking this alternate-reality-killing pop-up page about topcities retail packages every ten seconds.

Firefox blocked all the pop-up's for me...and yep, I wanted to see if you can post stuff Smile They should've made it so that you couldn't if you weren't supposed to Confused Couldn't figure out a way to edit or delete afterwards :-/ I dunno, maybe they can use a Message Board system NOT from like 1994?

Sites like Topcities come with wwwboards like that as standard. That's probably why the PMs used it.

Dropped some bait for Tom.

And hey, maybe the PMs will know how to roll with the punches. Make some comments about the messageboard being compromised or somethin'.

Quote:
Origen was a Christian scholar and theologian and one of the most distinguished of the Fathers of the early Christian Church. He was born about 182, probably at Alexandria, and died at Caesarea not later than 251. His writings are important as the first serious intellectual attempt to describe Christianity.


Apparently they're both Platonists (more or less), but apart from that I can't seem to find anything about Celsus education.


Huge speculation but possible link www.ORIGENxbox360.com is a site with some speculation as an ARG?

Something tells me we're not the third power they noticed. If they've been compromised to this degree, something tells me that it might be something Tom would scream "OMG HACKED!" at.

It's a plot thing, and whoever it is might be on our side. ^_^

Anyone have a guess where this school is located. If the time on the board is accurate than my guess would be in the mountain time zone. And since they spell center on the website as centre I'm guessing Canada.

Probably doesn't matter but I'm getting bored waiting for things to happen.

Posts six and seven were likely one of us posting and thus were deleted. The school is confirmed as being in England.

Patience. Things take time to unravel.
