Trailer in theatre -> 1-18-08.com -> google -> cloverfield clues -> link to the trailhead around pg 350

So you can blame Dennis for me...

Well, living in the UK and hating action movies, I was only made aware of the trailer in July when something called "The Guide" did an article on the teaser. I googled Cloverfield and watched the trailer, and then, after a few months because I am vair vair nosy, I started to my own research. I read cloverfield clues almost every day, and went on every site possibly affiliated with the movie. However, little did I know, I had started investigating during a particuarly quiet period, so I didn't really get anywhere. Eventually,I got really bored and joined the forum that kept popping up in my searches to cheer me up. The rest is history!*

So to answer the question, I joined through Google out of boredom.

*Interestingly, the trailer was released not long after I joined, so I stopped being bored then.

Wow... Is it just me or are a LOT of the cloverfield people new... How many of you have played any other ARG? this does not bode well for the finds. I wish we could get some veterans in here... unless of course there's really nothing to find, which, in my mind, is quite possible in this ARE unfortunately. No offense of course =P

I lurked the year zero ARG for a while, then when i saw the transformers movie i saw the 1-18-08 trailer. Googled, heard that it was a viral marketing campaign, so i checked out the forums, and sure enough. and yalah.

Video Game Site: "Society of the Ancients bla bla... Halo 3 ARG bla bla... I love bees bla bla"
Me: "Que?"
Site: "Link to UnFiction bla bla"

Yeah, that's it...

UnFiction: "Halo 3 bla bla bla, Cloverfield bla bla bla, Silver Ladder"

I thought SilverLadder looked interesting and have been following it ever since.

Wait, we're talking about Cloverfield here?

I was very active on one site and lurked on several other sites during the whole LOST arg, UnFiction included.

So when I knew there's a Cloverfield arg, just came here straight away to check it out.

path to Unfiction

Started snooping the very night after the trailer. If JJ did anything, he got me hooked instantly with a couple minutes of film.

I first started posting at firstshowing.net. They boast being the first thread on the subject, starting on June 29th, 2007.
http://www.firstshowing.net/2007/06/29/jj-abrams-top-secret-trailer-for-cloverfield-in-front-of-transformers/#comment-28500

From there I went to a thread at RottenTomatoes and posted a bunch there.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/vine/showthread.php?t=566585&page=150&pp=30

I started gathering up about 30 sources then, two of my favorites for keeping up to date being
http://11808.blogspot.com/
http://cloverfieldclues.blogspot.com/

While bouncing around those properties I kept seeing UnFiction sourced with good investigative work, started posting here around August 10th with my 'cuckoo clock' discovery, not that it meant anything for the ARG.

PS - The cuckoo clock was edited out of the second trailer. I still wonder how in the world it got there so clearly in the first place. But then, I may never know the answer to mitt-hammer-cheese. They could all be made with ParafFun! ingredients, but they are on the Slusho site. Still a puzzle.

Came here, looking for new Year Zero and Iris (Halo 3) news, went to the News & Rumors section, and low and behold, Cloverfield.

Ummm.....

The only thing I've played that was close to an ARG is the Da Vinci Code game and something else...hmm...oh well. 1 1z 73|-| |\|00b. 73|-| |_|b3r-1337 n00b.

then I joined a facebook group called: 1-18-08 / cloverfield

they have a link to this forum saying that:

THE BEST PLACE for NEWS and analysis of this flick and its accompanying ARG is:

http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/index.php?f=227

Was here before Cloverfield, but after konamouse. Started with Perplex City and my first post was complete nonsense, it explains that I arrived via the Firebox catalogue. Start how you mean to go on eh?
