There used to be something vaguely challenging here.
This one smart guy solved it.
Check back again later
Hmm, after looking at everything there (even at 10am after being up all night) all I can see is a couple of pages with links to various things like drawings, writing and band pages etc. Aside from the source things (and numbers, which I can't ring from over here ) I can't seem to see any kind of story... Maybe I'm just tired.

MOODRINA PRODUCTIONS
AD AURUS HOC OPUS HIC LABOR EST
Moodrina Productions is a cultural design-based company, with branches in Portland, ME, Boston, MA, Northampton, MA, and Pittsburgh, PA. The company's mission statement is convoluted, disorganized, and borderline hypnotic, utilizing phases such as "distorted self-image", and references seemingly unrelated sources such as Adrian Lamo , the band Third Eye Blind , the Situationist movement, and John Titor .
The mascot of this unusual collective is a duckling(Moodrina) who thinks herself to be a monkey. The groups members are unknown.

I dialed the number given and it is a recording.

"If this is a life threatening emergency please hang up and call 911 now. If this is not a life threatening emergency please hang up. Thanks for calling. Have a great day. Goodbye." And then it just repeats.

The number is from the "Frustration Hotline " or "Rejection Hotline " - a number you give out to someone you don't want to talk to...

Funny..... so the point was to trick someone into calling.
Guess I should have googled first.

The Laughing Man Logo was a hint.

Anyone figure out the login on the first page?
And I'm originally from Portland, ME although I've never heard of "moodrina productions". I'll have to make some calls and find out more.
Is there any correlation between the websites linked up on the page?
This is definitely something, just a little over my head.

Alright, there's a little bit of current affairs here, not much of a back story yet. The second post seems to be some kind of clue to something. Bible verses? I have no idea.

MOODRINA PRODUCTIONS
AD AURUS HOC OPUS HIC LABOR EST
From the Absu song Descent to Acheron (Evolving into the Progression of Woe) ....???
Pour water on thyself
Thus shalt thou be
A creator of the sun
Charon will inhibit his entrance
The fields and dwellings of relapsing ruins
Find thou thyself in every star
Achieve thou every possibility
Listen! Heed not the siren-voice of thought
The fable of river #5
Deliverme athwart the earth
Forsaken loam of wondrous slumbers
Thee spiritual and thee fertile
A spawn of full equilibrium
But whose availeth is in this,
For hereby there comenth impair
Facillis descensus Acherni
Noctes atque dies patet
Atri ianua Charnus
Sed revocare gradun sperasque
Evadere ad aurus,
Hoc opus, hic labor est .
repeat 1st verse
There was not a formal sepulcher
Not one sector for the interment
Throth with thee empire of hope
All effects are welcome to Styx
___________________________________________
Absu is an black metal/thrash metal band from Plano, Texas, USA. Their early work leaned towards a death metal sound, but more recently they have incorporated a black and thrash metal sound with some celtic and folk music (which they call "Mythological Occult Metal "). Their lyrical themes are esoteric, ranging from Celtic myths and legends, Sumerian myths and legends, magic, weaponry, and sorcery.
..............probably no connection but heh!

OOH! black metal, sounds great!!!
Clicking on the me link takes you toooo;
http://users.resist.ca/~adrian
Clicking on the 'distorted' link leads to the following page.
http://users.resist.ca/~adrian/kokoro.htm
In the page source it says 'Adrian Who?'
Then in 'yesterday' link, it brings up the answer;
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Adrian Lamo
Wiki sayeth;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adrian_Lamo
Theres pretty much something on every page in the source.
On further reading of the wiki, I noticed the website which is linked to from moodrina listed in its external links is legit.
Edited because im not making any sense xD I was trying to talk about adiran lamo but im tired and failed xD
OOh banksy, I love banksy
