I don't know much about the chat software they're using but I clicked on the "Recent Room History" option and this text was displayed:

If I was Sean and I had developed a technology that would change the world DRAMATICALLY, I would a) be a hell of a lot more excited about it, b) be a lot more professional about it, and c) be insulted by a great deal of these questions being thrown at him.

I just can't get over that it seems like this guy isn't very professional. If this company is for real, and the product is for real (which I very much doubt it is), they must have some extremely intelligent people working for them. Sean just isn't coming off like that though, unless he is merely a figure head for the company and the intelligence is hidden in its employees.

Bah, it's delayed for 3 minutes. I asked them why they appealed for scientists on the web instead of a more vetted institution - opening themselves up for spam!

They said they'll make their scientist decisions by the end of the month. That's crazy, verifying scientists in such a short period of time.

Oh, and so far, I've see Quo Vadimus as a question-asker - who else (who is an ARGer) has had a question answered?

And then this site goes down...odd

Anyways I just noticed that the text from the webchat shows an strange error:

2nd line: "chat-admins: what is the time"
6th line: "chat-admind: derwerwe"

I would have assumed that the bit before the colon was computer generated, as in an ID. It just seems odd that there would be a typo there

He's said he's sure the media frenzy will blow over like it does for all things.

Right.

Hello, preventing worldwide ecological disaster?

Hello, defeating reason for the conflict in Iran?

No, if this were true, Sean's life would never, ever be the same.

Haha! INCyr asked a naughty question!

Well I think this building up to be the biggest fiasco ever... and Unforums was there to debunk it!

[atdt1991]

I've also received the request for more data regarding my scientific credentials.

Should I reply?

How realistic should I be?

[schummbo]

In my opinion, I wouldn't even reply. I don't feel that theres any chance this is a game anymore. Whether or not they're produced what they've said they've produced, I think at least these guys are taking themselves seriously. Just my opinion though

[atdt1991]

I'd LOVE to be convinced that it is real. Sh**, I'd be so much [i]more excited[/] about free energy than I am about it being a story!

... but he makes it hard to believe, that's for sure. The actions of this company do not at all follow the predictable patterns of business - Entrepreneur instead of a more scientific magazine (I don't buy the "we wanted to make them angry enough to respond - and it worked! line), the public web site with newsletter on the first page.

And most of all - asking the public to submit their scientific information instead of reaching through educational institutions or other things more reliable than the internet. At the least, they've got hundreds and hundreds of bunk responses they'll have to shuffle through.

I agree. This definitely isn't a game.

Have they produced what they think they have? probably not. But I'm pretty sure *they* think they have. I just can't see why they're doing what they're doing oherwise.

I agree that this seems very unARGy but one thing still bugs me. Sorry to sound like a spoilt child who's not getting his way but could someone look at this and tell me if it looks odd to them too...
