 		Been lurking from the beginning of this thread, but haven't found anything post-worthy until now. Maybe the questions they aren't answering can tell us more than what they are answering. I've asked these questions with no reply:

1) 2 faces = 2 names? (based on someone's post here at UF that the pic looks like 2 girls edited together...I agree...and that 2 names had been used)
2) Something about they said they are "8-3-11" and also said "aren't we all" to being humans...so what does that make them?
3) What do helpers do?

I think there were a couple other questions I asked, but I can't remember them now.

Also, whoever knows German, what does this post/reply mean:

"Ist das Mädchen wichtig? Ich möchte gern ein Associate zu sein."
"Es tut mir leid, aber wir sind nicht mehr zu akzeptieren Mitarbeiter."

Thnx in advance!

to the 2 faces thing, on 4chan someone tried editing it and split the faces then mirrored it to become seperate girls. The left half appears to be a younger girl and the right half an older girl [if 2 faces is the case].

the german post translated:
"The girl is important? I would like to be an associate. "
"I'm sorry, but we can no longer accept people."

Some random information [sorry if previously mentioned/dont know if useful] the girls voice on the main page is saying "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" which is spelling alphabet for YHF

Edit: in regards to the 2 faces: the 4chan link turned into a 404 and 4chan is currently down [for me at least] but once its up ill try and find it to show you

 		I've been looking at what the language is made up from. They're all types of different symbols such as mathematical and engineering. Give me some time and I may just be able to decode it. I'm beginning to wonder if each symbol is a word rather than a letter.

 		http://8-3-11.info/foxtrot/yankee/papa

it shows the text behind the "Your Lost" picture, maybe this will give a hint as to finding whats behind/under/covered by the umbrella

Edit: the foxtrot/yankee/papa isnt necessary [i just was using it hoping id find something more] all you need is 8-3-11.info/anything/
follow the last part with a slash

 		What it the you're lost picture? It won't show up for me. As for the umbrella, an umbrella is seen as a symbol for protection or branching out. I could be way off though.

what i mean is, originally something like http://8-3-11.info/foxtrot shows the "Your Lost" picture but if you add a slash at the end http://8-3-11.info/foxtrot/ it shows the text behind the image

Could be useless information but i gave it a go

 		It's just the alternate text for the image. You can find it in the source code...

That's just standard HTML - the image is a relative reference, so if you call a page that shows the 404 HTML code from what browser considers a subfolder, then the image won't show because the image is located in the root.

ie: the HTML is coded to display the image as in the folder that the URL is called from (a relative link: SRC="TheCorkTree.png").
/notfound will try to display /TheCorkTree.png
/notfound/here will try to display /notfound/TheCorkTree.png
The latter doesn't exist.
Because the IMG tag has an ALT attribute ("Find Your Place"), that text typically gets displayed in place of a missing image.

Nothing to see here, just a slight bit of bad html coding (which can easily be fixed by having the img SRC="/TheCorkTree.png" Wink

 		8-3-11
Associates' Language
The leaked image got translated earlier on /x/. The translation shows that the image has a lot to do with John 8:3-11, and appears to be a diagram of some kind of stone sorting/casting machine? Or maybe a machine which prepares rocks for casting?

There's also a substitution key of the known letters to help translate any more messages we get in the associates' coded language.

 		Considering how basic that message seems, I don't think picture was leaked accidentally. If it was, it still doesn't tell you much about 8-3-11. All this suggests to me is that perhaps there is a station listening to a frequency on the same level of some cosmic lie-detecting emitter--a really weird idea.
