Checked the key phrases in my earlier post. Found one typo, now fixed. (vallandigham - last name only and yes it is spelled just like that).
Oh, and nice start on the wiki, thebruce!

The Site is updated with tons of new stuff.
It looks like we need to find a password. It has a submit button. But it keeps saying "Try again".

Not new... old. Re-read this thread for help as to how to progress through the game.

Ok, so the site *did* update, but there's no password or anything... it has to be seen to be believed. Bravo, game creators. Bra-vo.

If you run it through a base64 decoder, it appears to be a rerepresentation of the pictures/names part of the page but with a lot of control characters included in the code that I can't figure out. Possibly code for layout in some kind of alternative format like .rtf?
In case anyone was wondering, there are 48 unique "ad"-names and 25 unique first names across all 7 pages.

so the site's been updated with a mock "rent-a-clown" advertisement.
I believe there's something else hidden on the site; not sure what though.
the graphic on the bottom with the colored flashing dots has a single, tiny white speck that doesn't look like it belongs there. clicked it, and nothing happened.
I use Firefox, and when I set my page style to "no style," it removed the background of the page, and on the very bottom left corner of it, there's a black box of some sort that doesn't really seem to do anything either. right clicking on it reveals it to be a Flash object of some sort.
there's probably more to this within the page source or just messing around with the site itself, but at the moment I'm not sure.

I noticed the white spec, too. I tried finding it in the source, but I'm not all that good at that stuff. And I got distracted by the HAHAHAHAHAHAs.

In the page source, mixed in with all the HAHAHA's there are hidden lowercase letters.
Edit, not sure if it had been mentioned before specifically for the rent a clown site.

Yeah, that's what Rogi was referring to.
