unforum

[Rekidk]

I am officially freaked out. Really [censored]ing freaked out. Clearly, the forum is for killers. Sick, sadistic killers. It's been around since 2004 (hopefully faked). The blog's been around since summer 2006 (hopefully faked). Either this has been long in the making, the videos and blogs have all been timestamp faked... Or... This is a hoax. Or real. Scary.

Possibilities:

1. This is an ARG.

2. This is a hoax.

3. This is some kind of non-traditional fiction told through other mediums that has been out for a while (and only recently was discovered).

4. This is real.

Although unlikely, the possibility of 4 scares me. *shudders* I've been on the blog and on the forum now, so I'm tracable, too. I'm seriously scared.

Future PMs, take note: people will not want to play your game if they think there is even a remote possiblity it is real.

That said... I think I'm already too far into this to back out any more. Just know that... I think I'm leaving the 'interaction' part of this (hopefully) ARG to you guys. XD

Edit: Did a little thinking about why there is no way this is real. This is primarily to make me feel better.

The forum (which is the thing that's really scaring me) has been around for a long time. If it were real, the police would've taken care of the people there by now. No reasonable person would so nonchalantly put info about their killings online.

who is theresa? she signed up to get a video and when i checked out her blogger profile and her personal blogs i found this:

A place of my own
Well... by the time anybody who knows me reads this, hopefully it will all be in the past... I want a record of my life that nobody knows just yet. But one day will finally understand

Can't tell if this is a plant from our guy or if its someone from here. Also, AFAIK we're the only ones tracking this thing, right? Everyone else on the net seemed to have lost interest when the broadcast signal intrusion story turned out to be fake.

Rekidk, I wouldn't worry too much. I doubt this guy could track you down, if it was all real. I'll admit the cubing forum does unsettle me, though.

while i'm not sure if i'd swear on my life that the happy cube was real, they could very easily get away with posting about killing people on there as long as they never came out and said anything specific. something like that seems to have happened with the last site they had and five people got arrested, and they were only making threats.

i also think its sort of implied that you have to be the official "owner" of the video to be severely and noticably effected by it.

previous owners
------------------------
Daniel Cable - decased, possibly suicide.
Donald Wilson - deceased (with an actual obituary to back it up)
GMiller - went insane for a while. still questionable.

i also have a feeling that Jack Q. Pembry owned the second video, the one Gmiller said he didn't know who had. it makes sense if you go over the blog.

hmm okay. thehappycube.com was registered in '06. but, the forum could have existed before that. it's a proboards forum that could have been hosted on their site before '06 when it was redirected via thehappycube.com

i have several close contacts in the east village of nyc who can look into this address, i'll get on that.

Can anyone call the (917) number associated with the registrant of the domain name? That's a NYC mobile phone number. I can't make long distance calls from work. I'll work on the name though.

Hm... Looks like one of the 'censored' words is kill. It looks to be replaced with 'hug.' That would keep the police off their trail...

*Freaked out again*

Edit:

I'm going to try to create a key for the censored words.

Hug = Kill
Sleeping = Dead
Friend = Victim
Smile at = ??? (method of killing?)
Kissed = ??? (method of killing?)

Ex. of Hug:

that's ok, arbolita. the only reason i wondered is because the links to the page were all dead and the other blog page didn't have such a serious tone (i.e. mentioned working out and clay aiken)... i thought it might have been a plant, like the youtube user info for the 2nd video which states the user is a cvs clerk into cable tv shows and backyard wrestling. thanks for clearing it up for us!

friendster profile for aaron lackman. this guy couldn't be the creator of the whole thing. doesn't seem like a serial killer to me. more like your typical east village artsy fartsy hipster.

after going over the list of people who have or may have owned an original copy of the video, i don't think i'm going to sign up. i mean, i don't really believe in the paranormal or anything, but better safe than sorry.

also, jack's personal website is very obviously a freeservers website. it's like geocities, and i imagine aaron lackman is the employee who registered the domain for jack.
