 		first things first : Welcome all you awesome guests! Did you know that it is super easy to register for an account? By registering, you can edit your posts to add new info, instead of double or triple posting. You can also get emails alerting you to new posts in this thread. Not to mention it just makes things easier all around. Smile

now then, For some reason i'm not even getting the website anymore, it is just a 404 - refresh nor clearing cache is changing this. Anyone else having issues?

 		Yes, everyone should register!

I am still getting the fuzz before it goes to the 404.. if you have already seen this once, you may have to delete your browsers history and clear you cookie cache if you want to see it again.
I hope this leads us somewhere..
Anyone have the ability to overlay all of the fuzzy images to see if it turns into something.. its definitely not a QR code... is the timeless memories site a dead end now?
Anyone from who got the flyer at comic con have any thoughts. Left him email and phone info.. maybe he or possessed him will call lol
We need more players!

 		Static on site
Hey guys. I just discovered this ARG. Happy to be part of it, though it kinda sucks coming in so late... I never even got to explore Darren's site before it went to static. Oh well.
Anyway, so, it's not really a clue, but it is creepy: in Firefox you can right click the static and go to "View Image Info". Then, on the media tab, click on the one that says "Background.gif" and hit "Save As...". Save it, and you can go through the static image by image. The first image has a rather creepy eye on it near the top right, and you can see that same eye, distorted, in later pictures. I would post it myself, but, honestly, I'm not sure how. It's not like I'm computer illiterate, but I don't really use forums very often. Also, there are 48 images, so it would take up a lot of space...

Also, has anyone tried getting a spectrogram of the static in the distorted Video 6? Probably nothing, but worth a shot.

Definitely something in the ones and "i"'s, but, honestly, the anagram thing seems like it's kinda reaching to me.
The prosody thing was interesting to me, perhaps implying, as you said, that Darren's words may mean something other than what they obviously mean...

Keep up the good work, guys, and I look forward to figuring this thing out with you.

 		Darren D
Sorry to Double Post, but I noticed that yahoo lists Darren's name attached to his email address as "Darren D"... maybe something in that... a quick google search returns almost nothing though. The top result is the Twitter account of a guy named Darren Delaye, who is a designer for google. No indication that he has anything to do with this...
Perhaps another dead end, but, with the Year Zero and Cloverfield ARG's, the first line of defense was gathering together all the facts you could, no matter how seemingly irrelevant... lol

Also, I just discovered that you can still view the original Timeless Memories site by googling it and hitting the "Cache" button next to the link, for those of you who, like me, came in late... Though, you can't really watch any of the videos except the commercial...

 		I don't know that there's a lot for us to do right now. The movie is nearly three months away, what was the time span for the other two?

 		This doesn't really add to anything, but once you're redirected to the 404 page, if you hit back in your browser, you're NOT taken back to the static page, but the page previously.. As if you were never there...

 		I extracted all the frames from the background from the site, I added them into a zip, if anybody is ambitious enough.

 		Dottoe, do you mean my reference to Year Zero and Cloverfield?
If so, the Cloverfield one started right after the release of the first trailer, attached to Transformers in July 07, and ended with the release of the movie in January 08, with very little downtime. And the Year Zero one started in February 07 and continued until April of the same year, a span of three months, in which all kinds of different s**t happened (I still don't really believe that one is over... it never had an official ending... but, then again, that entire thing made me paranoid to begin with).

I followed both of those closely, but never got to contribute, cause every time I thought I found something, I found out someone had already discovered it just a little bit before me. I hope I can stay ahead of this one, and actually contribute in some way.

 		Anyone else?
Has anyone else found these alternate trailers on the paranormalmovie.com website? Or is that just a gimmick?? I

 		Just a speculation... but has anyone noticed that the facebook picture for paranormal activity changed? I don't remember when, but it's a picture of Christy (am I spelling that right?) when she gives that odd look in the camera. It was same thing that showed when Darren's site changed the Featherston video to the one of Christy and all the static. Is it possible that there is something else to that look she gives the camera? It's rather odd, in my opinion.

No, PA1 and PA2.

And YZ ended when the presence destroyed the world (seemingly) and SBI sent the date back in time

 		Oh, sorry.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Idk, that didn't really seem like the end to me. I mean, I guess it was the end of the resistance in the future, but... again, probably just because that entire thing made me paranoid, I kept waiting for something to come up about a current resistance. You know, everything starting all over again... then again, I always read too far into things. lol


Anyway, back to the current ARG. That "incode" thing is still bugging me. Something about the sentence, "Incode for eternity" really seemed to stand out, and not just because of the misspelling. I mean, that's kind of a weird way of saying that... It being literally " In Code" makes me feel like there's definitely something we're missing.

On the "Samkeonu" thing, there are also two other lines lined up, "Vecotool" and "Htacttib". Veco Inc is actually a company, but that's probably just a coincidence. What I'm thinking is that those all look like the results of a substitution alphabet. Of course, the only clue we have to deciphering it (if it is) is that E=I...
Of course, it could be a different kind of code... or, it could just be meaningless entirely...

i am getting the feeling that something should be SO obvious here, but we are either looking too deep into it, or missing something totally blatant..

Encode - incode yes,

even spelling pricing without the 'i' prcless

this is not a coincidence!! so many 1's and i's , to be honest, i think the progression of clues has halted due to the fact that no one on the net (as far as i know this is the only group forum investigating so far) cannot get past round one!!

 		I starting reading this forum yesterday, as I was kinda of late on the Darren thing. But since then, I have been looking at the videos on youtube, all the stuff you guys have posted, etc. I also frequent the IMDb boards for this movie and someone there posted something very interesting.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn295/punkguitaristgaz92/PA3KATIE2.jpg

I would post the images but I am a noob at forums. Anyways, I read that they are from two new viral videos (as of Aug 4th) from the official website. I am assuming the last pic is from the altered video 6, but I could be wrong.

Also, in the Darren commercial, it's definitely a cue card. I watched that part like 100 times trying to pause it at the optimal time where his glasses let you see everything in the room (he kinda tilts his head up). I saw what looked like a hand and then you can see the outline of a person behind the cards. As for what the cue card says... looks blank, but it's probably the glasses or something doing that.

I know these aren't about Darren, but since it hasn't been updated in a while, it's something at least.
