 		Anyway since I do NOT want to edit my post until it's a page long, photobucket.com/cafgbcd redirects to this.

 		Did anyone else notice yet that when you are on the login page thinger, it says maureengeorgina, not Maureen Pickles? I wonder if Georgina is Ms. Pickles real last name.

EDIT: Well, Georgina is apparently her middle name, according to her biography page. Maybe disregard what I just said.

 		Ah, ingenious, I love how they did that, I'm liking this so far. Tried a bunch of passwords too but got nowhere. I guess we wait?

 		im chatting with the ilovemopickles person again. i decided to see if she will help us, or if she is a baddie...
Quote:
me: hi there!
ilovemopickles: Hello
me: I am sure you are busy, but I believe we spoke yesterday?
ilovemopickles: Yes, I think we did.
me: Oh, great! I wanted to ask, who keeps compromising your fan sites??? I mean, how would someone go about hacking such a thing, and why?
ilovemopickles: Well. Clearly they have some method of knowing the domain password, and they keep logging in and changing the site.. They even uploaded a strange music file today.. Weird...
me: yeah, I found that one
ilovemopickles: any sense of it?
me: well, out of curiosity, do you keep using the same password?
ilovemopickles: No! Its nothing obvious.. In fact I have trouble remembering them, they're so obscure...so many letters and numbers
me: So, you use random letter and number combos, and they still figure it out? That takes talent...
ilovemopickles: Well. I have my suspicions that my laptop has some kind of spyware...
I've taken it to be checked, even had it formatted and started again.. But nothing seems to solve
I really don't want to have to take down this site as well..
me: Well, heres the thing, I really want to help you, so here is what my friends and I found from the music file today...
ilovemopickles: OK..
me: http://photobucket.com/guestlogin?albumUrl=http://s300.photobucket.com/albums/nn11/maureengeorgina/
ilovemopickles: And the password...?
me: we dont know
I actually came here to ask you, i'm thinking that the people who keep taking your password made that site
Maybe they used one of yours?
ilovemopickles: Well.. let me try some...1 minute...
me: Alright,
ilovemopickles: How did you get the site adress from the weird sounds?
me: I've been scratching my head for hours. I mean, if these people keep hacking your site, I want to get to the bottom
ilovemopickles: Yes..
me: Extensive knowledge of music
ilovemopickles: Sorry?
me: well the sound file was backwards
ilovemopickles: okay.
me: the notes played were C A F G B C D, that essentially redirected us to that photobucket site...
ilovemopickles: no way! Thats so ingenious!
me: yeah, I couldnt have solved it myself. I had to get some friends of mine, and other Maureen Pickles fans to help
ilovemopickles: Wow. Well, it certainly is nice to know she has so many supporters, and clever ones too!
me: Thanks. So, any luck with passwords?
ilovemopickles: No... I'm not able to input any more..
Too many wrong..
me: yeah same here...
Well I figured you were a nice person and that we should see if you could 'help us, help you'
ilovemopickles: Thats a very sweet thought, and I appreciate all of you and your friends help. Thankyou. If you do find the password, let me know!
me: No, thank you, I will keep you informed...
ilovemopickles: Smile

 		When the wav file was reversed, did the notes make up a song at all?

It wasn't a song, per se, but the notes "C A F G B C D".

The music fills my ears,

My mind holds it,

I turn it around in my hands,

Until I understand the truth,

And see the pictures I have dreamed of.


Is obviously a hint/reference to the fact that we had to reverse the WAV file to get the notes.


Quote:

At Giverny float, they are the way ahead.

And when he painted them he knew,

That over the lake, the precious ones, he said

Guided his brush through.


I think is a reference to the painter Claude Monet who famously painted "Waterlilies" in his garden in Giverny in France.

I've tried various combination of "water lilies" and "waterlilies" but that didn't work either.

 		Nice find, nitefoll! Here's the wikipedia on the waterlillies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_Lilies

Anyway, I went back, and I've tried a bunch like "monet", "Nympheas", and also a bunch of "water lillies" as well, to no avail.

 		While it may be pure coincidince, someone named Creol changed the Wikipedia page on Mr. Monet just yesterday. Most interestingly, he adds a heck of alot of info and the self portrait. Its also apparent that they added the rest of the pictures as well. Maybe destegging them would lead to some clues?

EDT: Also, it seems that the "self portrait" Isn't such, as it named Pierre-Auguste Renoir 112.jpg
