It does if someone (IG, presumably) is posting publicly (ie - posting questions, info, or guesses/theories in public places).


Trout me if you will but has anyone suggested that this "Stop posting publicly" may be a clue to the "device" log in? I guess what I am trying to say is maybe this person telling us to "stop posting publicly" wants us to get on a secure line/channel/server? Perhaps we must find the terminology in the PDP-11 for "secure" communication or "private chat" etc.


never thought of that could be but still would have to wait till something happens to show us where or how im sure it has to do with the membership most likely

Really sorry if the points already been brought up. But if we've established that the paper is from the 60's, and the film is set in the 70's does that mean that

a) The creature has been loose before?
b) This message is from the people who originally found it?
c) It's simply an old newspaper that's been used to code a new message?
d) Dates don't matter at all.

Sorry it's just confusing me a bit. Razz
(I'm also a bit of a noob to all this)


No, it's a good question. Perhaps the ARG story will be prequell to the movie? Or perhaps the ARG story will have some time leaps, which we will be able to see through the date information in PDP-11 console.

We have really to keep in mind this fact of this time gap.

 		Interesting coincidence: the date of the JFK speech featured in that newspaper (July 26th 1963) was the same day NASA launched "Syncom", the world's first geostationary satellite. Tenuous relevance at present, but given USAF involvement, the idea of "Rocket" Poppeteers, spacemen and the like - can't rule out anything!

 		License Plate
Hey, has anyone tried to extract the license plate number from the pick-up? If someone does do this, we may find an approximate location of the train crash, and thus a possible setting for the movie.

Please use Search .
If you are not familiar with it's use, here's how.
The terms I used to find those post results were "license plate".

 		"Stop posting publicly"
I thought about the "Stop posting publicly" thing and the only way we can "stop posting publicly" is if we moved all our discussions to private messages. Then I thought if the PDP-11 had a private message function and I came across Talk (software):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_(software)

And get this, it was available in the 1970s for PDP-11 systems... Im just looking for anything remotely important.

EDIT: Link is slightly damaged, but it takes you to a page where you have to scroll down and find "talk (software)"

And thats where I get lost. Could the PDP-11 even use any sort of "Device?" Maybe if we find a way to put Takle (software) on our PCs it will run when we enter the PDP-11 site, idk what device could be...

 		Talk
It is possible to emulate a UNIX terminal session and get a talk softare running but you would need thier information. Thier terminal ID to talk directly to them.

With regard to the new developments on http://www.scariesthingieversaw.com

it prompts you to mount a device… i started to look into it, and the emulated computer program (PDP-11) was used by the US military to scan in microfilm.

this website explains: http://www.midatlanticretro.org/PDP/FOSDIC.htm.

maybe there is something in that that can help out picking a virtual device from this list…

if already been posted about or unimportant im sorry Smile

what if, by 99% chance, this site is not even related to the Super 8 movie and all this site does is hack into our computers secretly? Scariest thing ever.

Yeah, the phpBB version the forum uses doesn't jive well when parenthesis are uses in URIs. Try making your wiki links into TinyURLs like http://tinyurl.com/2vp98aj

Good idea about talk. I have a theory that "Stop posting publicly. I have answers." part was from D. Morris, trying to stop someone who is close to the truth from revealing too much and getting themselves caught and silenced by the government. D. Morris then gave instructions for installing a pdp-11 simulator and a location to download the file.
