You're just going to have to spell it out for us. Put it in a spoiler tag if you think it's a puzzle solution. Somebody eventually is going to come along and say what has changed (if anything), so it might as well be you. That's how this community operates, on teamwork and sharing discoveries.

I see nothing changed in the file names, directory names, nor their contents. Did you mean this?

I had to hard refresh to get that, so I can't be sure how "new" it is, or if it was there all along and I've forgotten. Next time, just post what you think is new (and prepare for a trouting if it is old).

 		Catherwood, I think that has always been there.

...and I can't spot anything new either.

 		Yeah, that warning was always there.

Going back to the site on the main page with the compass before you even put your mouse at 108 degrees (and after as well), there appears to be a very distince subliminial message. I'm not talking about a mere line of text quickly falling down the screen, which may just be my monitor, but something totally different that I've never seen before at all. It's rather big as though it could fit several long lines of text, and occurs in intervals several seconds apart. It's orientated diagonally and moves very slowly from the top left-hand corner to the botton right-hand corner. In fact, it's heading directly towards the 108-degree direction. Do the rest of you see this, and is there a way to focus in on that? Maybe there's something there, although I highly doubt this is anything new.

As for the file names, I copied the entire page and pasted it to a word document back when I first went there. It's a normal document that's not hyperlinked, so it's not going to change if a change is made to the site. Comparing the names to those currently on the site, absolutely nothing has changed.

Yeah, that's always been there. It's just a visual effect, not a hidden message, as far as I can see. It's supposed to look like light reflecting off a glossy surface.

 		hmmm
Ok I dont know if its been said but here it is

http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/usr/pthompso/mail/fleetcontract2.jpg

http://www.letyourcompassguideyou.com/usr/hmcintyr/mail/ptsig.jpg

If you look at peter thompsons signature on both of them

they are different the P, T and the N most remarkably

just curious if anyone noticed? maybe indicates a forgery?

 		The first one does look more like a forgery to me. I think the second was is the original. Plus, we found those contract files referenced in Hugh's folder. He must have tried to order Jeeps by using Thompson's signature.

 		The Peter Thompson Signature found in the Hugh McIntyre folder is the same one from the files found on Joop's Corner. That would make me think that was the forgery and the contracts with Jeep were the real ones.

 		The question has changed. Instead of "Are you one of the good ones[Y,N]" It's now "Do you believe[Y,N]?"

That was due to the new podcast, I think.

This really confused me about what the correct answer should be! Should it be Y because I believe in UFOs and conspiracies or should it be N because I shouldn't "believe his lies"?

(So I tried them both Smile)

Nope. 10/5/5/16/3/15/13/16/1/19/19 = j/e/e/p/c/o/m/p/a/s/s

 		The B/0/0/G Also Translates to 2007. So it's 2007 Jeep Compass.

Edit: Meh, just beat me to it.
Edited again: Apparently neither of us can count that high.
