[UPDATE] All PXC Sites Down - 10 Aug 06 - Say Goodbye to PXC

For example:

http://perplexcitysentinel.com/

Scary, but expected, I guess...

Can anyone make out anything in the background (coded, stegged, etc)?

That's because it's a Mind Candy site and not one from Perplex City Rolling Eyes

Stegdetect (from outguess.org) says that bg.jpg is negative for steganography.

Does that three-squares logo belong to the Third Power? It looks familiar, but I can't remember right now exactly why.

Yes, that's the symbol for the 3rd Power. My question is, will the link work at SF, since they originate from the same place in PxC?

[SPEC]So, 3P has the Cube and is activating it the center of the city? I mean that's the only real reason to say "Say goodbye to PXC."

I guess if you want to rule over a city that's one way to do it. "I am king of the rubble that was once Perplex City!"[/SPEC]

I see meaning 3P will be cutting off our communication to Perplex City (as it seems they just have) - then PC might as well not exist to us! I don't think it has any 'destruction' meaning...

You know the weird thing though - its like having a peice of you removed. They have been up for so long. They can't take them away!

Totally agree muffin, though everyone seems to be forgetting this and going for the destructionist theory.

Common sense people, common sense. Wink

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

<kurt@thepathofleasttime.com>:
(ip) does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 relay not permitted
Giving up on (ip)

hmm... how is Von going to post his final clue?
