There has been already a lot going on on the telephone no. and the OPTYMA sign on both fora and also something about the graffiti on the in-game forum also, but I have some other remarks:
- photo 6 day shows a note (?) on the edge of the bus shelter, which does not seem to genuinely belong to the station itself. The signs on this note are yellowish and vague, but do not resemble any known (traffic0signs or whatsoever.
- photo 13D shows some signs that would make us believe to be graffiti, but I suspect they are not. What I can make of it is something like: BENCH THCNV, which to me is meaningless.
- photo 7 night shows also some would be graffiti on the lamp post, which seems to say UAE en then some vague signs of which I can not tell if they are letters or what.
- photo 8 N looks photoshopped with respect to the things on the ground near the fence. Does anybody share this opinion, or is it just my imagination.
I prefer to discuss these things here, because I want to keep the in-game bulletin-board clear of things that would indicate involvemnet of the PM. I suggest to speculate here, and bring the more likely guesses over to the in game BB.

Shaking Screens Mine does it too -- as I navigate through the site the screen that I'm leaving will vibrate for a fraction of a second before it changes to the screen that I'm going to. I'm using Microsoft XP.

Day 6 seems to be a caution sign that was painted over in white to create what it looks like now, but that is my perspective. I'll blow it up and post it for others to look at here in a bit.
Night 7 & 8 were not in the original listing of pictures, so my guess would be they hold clues. I went through the initial list that was posted and saved them all to my computer in case anything was added, removed, or edited. I'll take a closer look at these as well.
Day 13 graffiti does seem a bit hard to read. Surely any clue within it wouldnt be outrightly stated I wouldnt think, possibly anagramed or otherwise.

On Night7.jpg, it says UNEMI...not sure what it means...
How in the world does Night 8 look photoshopped?
on Day13.jpg to me it looks more like "RENAH JUNAV" or "JUNAY"
and on Day6.jpg it has "NN" over that warning sign....

Hi push,
by 'photoshopped' I meant that the things on the ground near the fence (look like leaves) appear to be very sharp edged and not 'in tune' with the rest of the photot. I don't have any experience in photoshopping, but I suspect some anomaly there.

Its a broken green bottle, probably a beer bottle.

Has anyone noticed that all of the pictures were taken with a Minolta Dimage Z1 on the 01/01/2003 at midnight. Except for day14.jpg and day15.jpg taken with a Nikon E7900 on 01/01/2006 at 6:53am and 7:02 respectively.
Don't know if there's any relevence but I'm gonna look at it anyways.
Some editing appears to have happened in day14.jpg here

I think this has happened because, if you use a digital camera for the first time or are turning it on after replacing batteries etc the date is set to 01/01... the year may vary.
I'm guessing the cameras were both being used for the first times or something to that effect. you guys agree??

My head is about to implode form staring at these pictures and playing with the various graffitti messages. There's too many possibilites...even with just the graffitti that 'appears' between day and night (which is surely the stuff that matters)... I got nothin'

I know....this is crazy.....no way to know what we need and what we dont as of yet....we have too many things to work off of which could all lead to nothing.....we arent sure what all we are overlooking and what we arent....I say that at some time during one of the days this week, we all get together if at all possible(or just choose the ebst time when most people can get on) and we discuss this for a long time so that we can get everyones opinions and stuff and get everyones thoughts of the matter. Right now, looking at these photos.....just isnt organized well enough to really find anything out from what we have. Anyone agree?
*EDIT* And one Day14.jpg......looks like the building is boarded up besides the windows that are too the rigth...if you look at the windows on the roof, the one right behind the pole is boarded up ans the one on the bottom left is as well.....on Day12.jpg....i do not think that the pole was edited in any way....it looks normal to me, but i could very possibly be incorrect...
