Seriously? I didn't check this thread for maybe four hours and now there are five new pages full of bullshit-posting trolls?

Maybe a moderator should clean this thread up.


I fully agree with you, "56 floor" and the "Lily's War" are disputing the "Crap of the year" award.

 		3 theories
(excuse my english, it's not my primary languaje)

I have three theories...

1) "Family planning international day"... it's on August the 3rd.
2) Ecologist movment will anounce some important cientific discover.
3) We will have important news about extraterrestrial visitors.

Each theory fits with all information available.

An old lady with a skin disease fits ecologist movements and news about ETs? Ok... Really, I think people expect too much from this game. I for one am starting to believe the "social experiment" theory more and more. If it's not that, I can just assume they're gonna tell us a story about this little girl and that they'll use that story to transmit some moral lesson...

It looks like:

a) viral marketing
b) social experiment
c) social moralization campaign - this is the one I'm leaning towards right now.

But hey, to each their own. I highly doubt we'll know before the 3rd of August, considering how "well" we're doing in this treasure hunt Laughing

Belle is a symbol... "her skin disease is not importante, sheīll be fine".
(althoug... her skin disease may have been caused by pollution)

 		Yeah, but that's the funny thing about symbols: they have to have something in common with whatever it is you're selling, or be a metaphor for your message. Otherwise, it'd be too random to count.

And why would they even speak about her skin disease if it's got absolutely no importance?

But yeah, it could've been caused by pollution.

 		I finally read through that monstrous 90+ pages. I'm already not interested anymore, lol. Here's some things that I tried that didn't work so no one else needs to do them:
I took the mp3 files as the biggest clue - because they took up the biggest space... Why would they pay a huge bandwidth bill if those mp3's weren't part of the solution..? Perhaps they are quite different people than we, but w/e
So I tried downloading the original files from the Conet Project, and comparing them with the ones found on the site... Exactly identical. I know someone alleged to do this already, but i think they just compared what you see in the "properties" dialog box in windows. I opened them in Audacity and compared the waveforms. I even played them both at the same time on top of each other... Idk if there's a way to subtract a file from another in Audacity...
Another thing I toyed with briefly was that maybe if I used their leader "names" as bit rates and re-sampled the audio... It doesn't work anyway because the names aren't standard bit rates.
So ya, lots of interesting theories and thanks to everyone here for keeping me entertained, lol. Hopefully when 8-3-11 gets here I won't be pissed for wasting so much time on it. Sorry if you think I'm trollin, I just wanted to get my ideas out since I hadn't seen them tried yet

 		 Uneducated
another thing, I think it's safe to say that 175,000 and perhaps the rest aren't worried about using a spell checker. This is a clue to their education level.

 		Whelp, http://www.formspring.me/TheConetProject confirmed to be full of shit and just a copycat. I asked this question and got the answer basically that what they are doing is just releasing fiction. Next to see if 8-3-11 is also full of shit (probably)...
(for context they previously said they are releasing the meaning of the conet projects audio files and also said no govt will be mad etc)

"How can you be confident that no govt will be mad or security compromised if the shortwave numbers stations were broadcasted by governments to their secret agents in the field, thus the meaning would be top secret?
SPOILER, PLEASE DON'T REVEAL



The stories we will publish are fiction, donīt appear any country or real person, e.g. "Mr A86 one day discovered a new signal. His radio system was receiving a strange message when he was looking for his favourite signature tune. He started to try to decipher the message: 1,5,3,4,0..."

Only in the end of the page we will write that ALL is fiction

Also we want to do a system where webpage visitor can do "his song", with a table with numbers and letters.

Why we do this?. Because we donīt want see nervious or scare people and we think it would help. If you go to see a horror movie you know that you will scare but is FICTION so no problem when you go out the cinema, but with the audio tracks no, so we try to change this.

If we are worried someone want to apologize for saying it was an important information and everything else, but we believe itīs the only way to see really what is intended with these audio tracks is scary

 		I'm back, hopefully that 56 floor guy doesn't show up to try to overrun me again and copy my name over and over. I noticed that he was also trying to sell his idea on the other ats site. He was trying to stop me from talking by using my name over and over, saying that I agree with the 56 floor concept. I gave my opinion but obviously for some reason he felt he needed to take my identity. He was using my name and faking my thoughts.

He kept then saying that he was the real Lily and so forth...he's after me! lol.

Yes, because you're the only one allowed to have been named Lily in the whole world...

maybe i'm missing something here, but wouldn't registering fix that issue? i mean, obviously, it's your choice... but at least he wouldn't be able to do that again.

Don't you find it a bit weird though that this person decided to use it right in the same conversation that I did also use it? And then they were going on silly like I am the real lily...as if I would care that they use the name, just don't try to speak for me. They could have just said, hey look we have the same name, but no they tried to take over and everytime I tried to write to this other guy about this 56 floor concept he kept coming in on me like it was an attack.

I prefer to stay annonymous, and think I will not stay here long if I keep getting such things happening. It is not encouraging and does not make me want to sign up to such a forum. No one even bothered to help me out. You all just mocked me and told me I was a troll.

What are you talking about? Why would they need to use a spell checker? And if you do claim that they use one, provide evidence. Until then, try harder you troll.

Same goes for me. I've spent so much time reading this whole thread and all the formspring questions. Plus I wasted a bit of paper for the poster. I hope we won't get disappointed.

I feel ya on the anonymous thing, but there are ways around that even *with* registering. i'm not registered with my real name, and the email i use for stuff like this is under a pseudonym as well. it seems like a lot of work but now that the email is set up it's easy to set up for sites like this.

I don't think you should blame this community either, for not coming to your defense...I don't know your history here as I've only been reading here for a few days, but unless you're well known in the community, wouldn't you assume that you were a troll as well? After all, as a guest, it could have been someone fighting with themselves, and no one would have been the wiser.

Sorry, not trying to come down on you, but I think this is generally a group of good folks, and yesterday's incident was isolated. Hope you decide to stay and hang out with us. Smile
