he's referring to "sota.com" as opposed to "societyoftheancients.com"

sota.com was assumed to be ingame because the myspace entry from Avery Fane listed the organizationa as having both domains. But the sota.com url is hosted elsewhere (entirely different IP) from societyoftheancients.com. And afaik, avery fane's blog was the only reference to sota.com, and with him now attempting to remove himself entirely from Iris, I think it's safe to say that SOTA.com is not in game and never was intended to be... just a mistaken url

No. I thought it was already figured out that the Myspace page was OOG to begin with. Just someone trying to hog attention.

[thebruce]

two myspace pages were mentioned: two22222 which IS OOG, someone trying to get attention, and Avery Fane, who was involved, but backed away when he was overly harrassed by players. He was the one who initially led us to SOTA, albeit early, we believe. Grok?

I believe that in context the question, in the email address DoYouGroksocietyoftheancients.com, is simply asking...

"Are you one of Us? Do you believe in and understand what we're saying?"

If we do get the opportunity to apply for memberships, our answers on our applications should reflect an answer of "Yes."

A thought

[OneAnansi]

At risk of embarrasing myself, how are you all getting this Doyougrok message from the societyoftheancients site? I can only get the pdf from the wiki faqs..

[redct]

We found it in the source of the members page and we downloaded the PDF. DoYouGrok is in there.

[OneAnansi]

Oh thankyou, and I'm sure then that all the other pages were 'sourced' as well? Somebody already searched them?

Chew on this-

If you take the "misspelled letters" (assuming that we take both an e and a when there is an error) you can get this-

addend to our address

with d, y, o, g, o, k, n, p, n, s, r, e, t, o, m, e, -, ~ left over.

If it helps, remember where you heard it.

I tried:

sendgroktomeSPLATsocietyoftheancients.com / sendgrok-yop~tomeSPLATsocietyoftheancients.com /
send-grok~yoptomeSPLATsocietyoftheancients.com

all to no response.
There are a bunch of different anagrams, but once you remove "send" "grok" "to" and "me" you're left with P O Y - ~ which doesn't seem to have any decent usage.

I also thought about send-togrokme... as "grokking" is a two-way thing in which both things must grok each other... if we're stating that we grok them, they must also grok...

but I'm in work so I'll have to give it a go later.

Doesn't a 550 error mean that the server wont accept the email transfer?

So any email sent to any address on the @societyofancients.com domain will bounce.
