 		[ Trailhead ] ? imbeingfollowed.com
Has an ARGish feel to it.
Someone posted a link to http://www.imbeingfollowed.com/ on the /x/ board of 4chan. While this automatically makes it dubious to say the least, it does have an interesting look to it.

What has been discovered so far:

So far we have found that if you brighten the page you can see a crudely drawn face with some type of symbol inside the eye. It also looks like the image was taken through the peephole of a door.

We have found two text boxes, one for a username and one for a password, and a little circle which serves as an enter button. If you click the circle you will see a blank page with the text "you can't fool me".

If you view the source of the main page you can see this:
<input><input>

We can see the hidden message: It's in the CSS. This is most probably talking about the username and password as it is in the code for the text boxes. We can also see from the source that the CSS is called "imbeingfollowed.com/helpme.css"

By looking at the CSS we can notice a few interesting things. First of all the name of the image on the main page is called 100109.gif,
which is a date. 1st of October 2009. By looking at the whois records I found that the website was created on that exact date. Then we see something that looks out of place in the code. no-repeat;}.1004. The .1004 seems to be out of place in the code, as it seems it would serve no purpose. But it could possibly mean a date, 4th of October. And next to that we see { 18:28; }. Possibly the army time for 6:28pm. I'm guessing this is when the next clue will be given.

This is pretty much all I have found so far.

Also attached is a link to a fiddled with copy of the background, enhanced to bring out the figures.

The Background.

 		Saw this, but I'm banned from all boards for telling a guy to GTFO with his invites. Damn thing autobans you for a day for "lockerz" in a post.

Did you try saving the CSS and opening it as rar, txt, jpg, mp3, anything like that?

It's just text. The image from the background didn't have anything in it that I could find. I'm not that savvy at finding embedded stuff though.

 		If I'm just stating the obvious then sorry, but if you try to highlight text on the page it reveals that in the top left there is a line of text reading:
"im being followed"

 		If you go to the page source it says help me which is a link to another page source that says form { float: right. so I exited out of that page source when to that first screen again and I clicked on the little circle in the top right conor and it brought me to the next page that reads..you can't fool me

 		Just found this user on livejournal.com:

http://imbeingfollowed.livejournal.com/profile

And his birthday is April 10th.

Maybe related or just a coincidence?

 		in the source page it looks as though it's saying "return" "post" "check.php" "itsin" "text" "user""thecss""text""pass" "submit" "o"

 		Lol, no but we apparantly have the same taste in intrigue. BTW, do we know the time zone the clues will be released in?
