Guys, I might as well point something out: the trailer said "NEXT SUMMER" ... that's over a year away ...

So don't be expecting this to have daily updates. Expect this to be a long, drawn out process very similar to what went on with Cloverfield. I mean, remember in that campaign how often (or inoften) we got a new picture on the 1/18 site?

True... gonna go watch a movie with my bro now..

Yes; but there were multiple websites for Cloverfield and we had new content found or a secret uncovered all of the time. This is only 2 out of who knows how much sites. 1-18-08.com wasn't even a part of the ARG really; the only thing that sort of added to the ARG experience was the Teddy Hanson missing poster

Yes but the point is that "Stop posting publicly" hugely and directly implies there's a post somewhere that we're missing.

And that's why I continue to search.

 		Something new?
I read earlier posts talking about the time between the bytes being loaded. Strangely enough I'm clocking them at precisely 3 AND 6 second intervals (stop watch with a "lap", more specificly the iPhone stop watch). Here is the sequence I got:
663663636636636636
It looks like the 6-6-3 repeating, but randomly(?) breaking this repetition.
Here's a longer one:
636636366366366366366366366366
Can anyone confirm this? I'd like to make sure it isn't my computer doing this.

I also have a suggestion for the forum. Add your current byte count to the end of your posting? If you think it's dumb, I don't mind...

Well, yeah, you got a point there.

Why do I feel like this campaign's going to make the Cloverfield post count look trivial? Razz

Welcome to uF Very Happy

I don't have a stopwatch or anything, but mine's looking a bit more erratic that the usual 5 second interval too.

Also, I think it'd be good to post our count too. Not much else to do Laughing

 		some hex to text
Speaking of the source code for the page ... If you look at it, there are two long strings of hex code, one at the top and one at the bottom.

Is you put the the top one into a translator (minus the remarking out, etc.), you get this:

Code:

<script>
      var params = {};
      params.quality = "high";
      params.name = "test";
      params.AllowScriptAccess = "always";
      params.wmode = "opaque";
      
      swfobject.embedSWF("deqna.swf", "alt", "100%", "100%", "10.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", null, params);
      LoDRightClickTrap.init("alt");
      </script>



The bottom one translates as
Code:
<script>
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script>
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-31835-140");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}</script>


So, I guess that's just the tracking part. But, why are those in hex code? Strikes me as a little odd; maybe someone here who codes can tell us if there's anything in there that might give us a clue as to what will happen next Friday?

Well, I hesitate to bring it up, but it's oddly consistent with what's been showing up on the 500Rads blog (see the Cloverfield archive for info on that). I know the general consensus is that it's OOG, a gamejack, or fan fiction, so maybe that person just knows something about the movie and is trying to get attention. It looks like the studio already gave him or her a nudge to stop posting things, to be honest.

I just found you can cut and paste the text in the terminal emulator:

48407 of 134640


We discussed that very thing in IRC yesterday. At first, it was very regularly ticking up at 5 bytes/sec. You could set a watch by it in fact. But then something changed. The very next day when people logged in, we started to notice weird things. My terminal glitched on me and started jumping by 5000+ bytes at a time. Others had similar issues. At this point, it was still ticking at 5 bytes/sec.

Then, about mid day, everyone noticed a simultaneous 9000 byte jump. At that time, the bytes/sec started to fluctuate as well. What we think what happened is that the PMs realized that the page was glitchy and made an update that essentially changed the terminal from running client side (ie without really communicating with the server after the site was launched) to syncing with the server every so often so that everyone is seeing the same thing.

For TINAG purposes, that makes a lot of sense, but it does make it kind of hard to calculate exactly when the countdown will end since the server sync makes the bytes/sec fluctuate.

We think we know that the countdown will end on 5-13-2010. Some say around noon and others have said around 10:00 pm. We should be able to better calculate later in the week.

 		When i was watching the bytes load last night i noticed the differing time intervals. i wasnt clocking it but started counting in my head. i figured it was as short as three seconds and as long as six or seven seconds, so i guess i was pretty damn close. Was too tired and didnt think too much of it to post anything about it, but im glad someone else noticed that too. wonder if there is anything to it or if its just coincidental nonsense. But seeing as how this is Abrams connected i doubt anything is coincidental. Time to start racking our brains people. Going to start searching around the net with that number sequence and see where it leads

Im at 48912 on line 7

Edit: i first saw the trailer before Iron Man 2 last night. at the end when it said next summer i was about to lose it. thats pure torture to dangle that carrot for more than a year like that. Id say thats a human rights violation and probably against the Geneva Convention

This. Precisely. QFT.
And my last check had the file being downloaded 100% at about 11pm eastern May 13th.
