Thanks, kona! I uploaded it to the SO site as well and dante and I tag-teamed it onto the wiki.

Great job on the find, dante!

Thanks again for compiling the comments! Very Happy

There's a link on www.wvsolitude.com that leads you to The Pocahontas Times. Follow the link and scroll down a bit...in the middle of the page, left-hand side, there's a small pic of a general store. Wasn't there a similar photo on Kevin's site or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Googling WVSolitude brings up the following cached information:

"...as retrieved on Sep 25, 2007 19:14:21 GMT." so i would call that a confirmation on it's ig-ness.

so (since i can't post on SO right now, i'll drop this here):




Subject: Http://wvsolitude.com

Analysis: While this website has not shows any overt signs of infection by the Lucky5 malware, and does not appear to be directly related to the Chorazos Hacking Ring, it does appear to have some loose and possibly circumstantial relation to one B.A. Saint-Feline, As well as Devon Conrad, The Orlando Dreamers, and possibly the unknown entity known as "The Hidden" as mentioned by Devon Conrad in one of the first correspondances in which he directly addressed The New Sentries. Below includes a number of possible references to groups and / or individuals of whom we have little or no additional information on, and may constitute enough of a connection warrant further investigation:

Emmet

Emmet is referred to many times throughout the postings on this site, and appears to be one who is considered wise, and who these individuals see as an elder or leader among them, as evidenced by the following comments:

Abandoned Gauley Line

""A nice place until Screaming Jenny comes for you one evening. There's a reason Emmet tells you folks to stay away from there." - long timer

Big Mountain Lookout

"That's one of the outposts Emmet told me about back in '75. Didn't know they still even use it."- old timer

Cass Railroad State Park

"Actually, not true. Emmet showed me a path up from Snowshoe. Granted, not an easy hike, but I'd rather get exercise than ride a smokey train."- stuart

Droop Mountain Battlefield

"Don't let the state park fool you. This place is haunted by headless soldiers and spectral horses. It's like Emmet taught you: don't go no where you ain't prepared for."- old timer

Furbin and Greenbrier Valley railroad

"Do it, Karen. They only really run that kind of stuff for you hiders. Emmet told me it's some of the best sleep you can find."- long timer

Great View

"The lookout cabin is alot less busier in the fall when it starts getting chill. Emmet told me it was a fairly safe place to sleep, but I saw bears there once."- Stuart

Meck?s home Bakery

"I was eating one of Karen's cinnamon rolls when Emmet strolled in looking for the same thing."- Gary

Sleep (Quality of)

B.A. Saint-Feline and the Orlando Dreamers often make references to sleep, and dreams, and the city in which they exist beyond their dreams. This may or may not be related, however this site makes a large number of references to sleeping and / or the quality of sleep to be had in certain locations

Cass Railroad State Park

"Despite the smoke and cinders, I've never felt more rested. The whip up a fair meal in the Last Run Restaurant as well."- old timer

Durbin and Greenbrier Valley Railroad

"Do it, Karen. They only really run that kind of stuff for you hiders. Emmet told me it's some of the best sleep you can find."- long timer

Great View

"The lookout cabin is alot less busier in the fall when it starts getting chill. Emmet told me it was a fairly safe place to sleep, but I saw bears there once."- Stuart

Greenbrier River Cabins

"Nice cabins, no need to hike to get to. Strange sounds from Cranberry, but I still sleep good."- Petri

Hilltop Gem

"This was my first cabin in WV. Lots of people rent it out, though, so it's hard to get for any length. I've never slept better, though.}- Gail

Jerico Bed & Breakfast

"Nice Civil War cabins for rent. See one ghost. Did not sleep well."- Petri

Old Clark Inn

"High speed Internet access means not sleep well."- Petri

Spruce Knob Lookout

"There's a radio tower not too far down the trail. You can hear it humming and buzzing, I couldn't sleep at all."- Gail

Miscellanious Connections

The following comments stand out as being loose connections to the writings of BA Saint-Feline and other potentially related items (such as computers / the web). These (as with all of the items listed above) could easily be a coincidence.

The Greebrier Hotel

"I could stand being around there, I think there's just too much computer junk in the basement, I could hear it all running all night."- melissa

Triple Sixes

"Six miles from Cass on Route 66, around the hairpin turn, sometimes I catch an echo of the hum.- old timer

** "The Hum"

It's probably nothing new to anyone, But the Greenbriar reference to computers in the basement is about Project Greek Island.

http://www.wvsolitude.com/ has changed, too. Looks like it got hacked. The map is gone and none of the links work including the gibberish links.

Do you guys think it has anything to do with Spoilt coming back? I know his old blog posts reference a lot of MMORPG elements in reference to the dreamscape.

No, it's pretty much just spam. WoW gold spammers are everywhere. They've hit the SO forums and wiki before, so an unguarded site like this is easy pickings.

I don't suppose anybody has the knowledge necessary to counter-hack this?
