minor rant:
Why put an entire post in a spoiler tag? I can't know what's under it without revealing it, as there is no text outside the box to warn me of its content. Therefore, the spoiler box does not protect me from anything, as I need to read it before I can decide not to read it.

Good job Caterpillar! I had a *smackyourheadlightbulb* moment there. Didnt even think to try that. Does this mean that we should try one of those on the list and put them in the URL? I tried the most obvious, Upheaval, Uproar, Pandemonium. They didnt work.

Maybe since my email questioning the meaning of rue spawned the other synonyms in the code, we are supposed to find out who's email triggered this website update....

Has anyone written to the yshklanti address and said anything about being embarrased or this seeming like chaos?

..or maybe it's another doomy reference to what will occur on the 13th...

Alright, this is odd... -any- single character in the url, even those that have to be put in through alt+number redirect to u.html... Is this a quirk of web design, or done on purpose?

EDIT: Any single character not part of HTTP syntax

This is a feature of the server they're on. I have a few sites on the same host and it's just how they're set up. Basically, if you get a file name incorrect, but the server finds one that's a letter off, it'll redirect you to that file. So since this file name is only letter, any other single letter is one letter off.

Hope that made sense.

I would guess it's just catching all single character inputs by default....it also catches uu.html...I think that is because it is figuring in for user error in either hitting the wrong single character, or hitting the u too many times....

I was asking about knowledge (in other words, lacking it). Don't know if that counts ...

I tried www.confusion.com and it was pretty damn funny what I found

Although not related to the ARG.

Funny nonetheless.

Very Happy

I have written him with some pretty basic questions not even ones that would give hints, but still no answer yet.

Hmmm... I haven't had a response from anyone of any ARGs come to think of it...

Nobody likes me. Crying or Very sad
