I thought it was worth noting

We have folder access to http://www.theendisnear.co.uk/newsletter/. At least this will let us know when the next newsletter is available with the addition of a new subfolder (assuming that he's going to continue the numbering scheme starting with /1/).

Hmm, interesting. That might mean that the PMs are watching this board. (either that or have a stat tracker that tells them which parts of their site people are visiting)

Found something new and interesting.

Apparently, someone with the name "alarmtheendisnear" created a Youtube account on July 2nd, 2008. The userpage includes a video of the website that we now know and love, showing the clocks ticking and then spinning down, and then fading. Then it turns to a jumbled set of letters, which morph into the URL.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnfM-GoPB9o

Not sure if it's official, but I have suspicions it is.

The userpage itself has an image and a quote, I think it's from Poe.

"And darkness and decay and the red death held illimitable dominion over all." The words circle a crying (bleeding?) mask, and it looks very sinister overall. Thoughts?

EDIT: Looking at the image, I've noticed something about the image: It's a clock. The hands point to 11:59.

Very nice find, Tobias Greenich and welcome to uF.

The Youtube account page looks both genuine and very interesting in a creepy way Wink
Took a subscription and hope there will be new vids soon....

Thanks belatedly to everyone who welcomed me! ^.^;

Anyways, morning update before I pedal off to work.

It seems the page has changed overnight. Instead of the red death background image, the new background is the "The End Is Near" logo. I have the original one saved, just in case.

Also, it seems one of the subscribers to alarmtheendisnear's channel is a chap named A2L0A1R2M. Joined May 20th. His profile is empty, and the only thing he's subscribed to is the video on alarmtheendisnear's channel.

2012

Interesting.

I performed a web search using Poe's quote and found this (i.e. the same artwork that has since been replaced with the not very elegantly tiled THE END IS NEAR newsletter header):

http://www.sighco.com/store/product.php?productid=168&cat=13&page=1

I seriously doubt that this t-shirt company has anything to do with this site.

In my view, some fan liked the A:LA:RM website and decided to promote it. And they quickly decided against using that Poe t-shirt... Why would the "official" peeps have done that?

Both alarmtheendisnear and A2L0A1R2M were online within an hour of eachother. My guess is they're either the same, or a the very least A2L0A1R2M is part of it.

As to what this whole 2012 thing may be about, I figured I'd try checking out upcoming movies...

...yuck! Seems like every production company is finding their way to cash in on the 2012 buzz.

Roswell 2012: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1230392/
2012 (directed by Roland Emmerich): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1190080/
2012 (largely unknown): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1034294/
2012: The War for Souls (directed by Michael Bay): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0988032/

Honestly, at this point, I'm not sure what to think Confused
