Old news or good news?

While searching up info on another ARG, I came across this... not quite ARGy puzzle that intrigued me:

http://thisisnotporn.com

looks like a game that has been played a few times before, even on these very forums, but is this maybe a new version of it? I can't find anything in the last five years or so to suggest anyone is actively working on it.

There's an image hidden in the spectrogram on the wave file, and obvious portrait of a person, and perhaps some letters at the end of the song...?

Edit: Note, this is actually the resulting spectrogram of subtracting the one channel from the other.

Neat!
A WHOIS lookup indicates that the domain is for sale, so this may not be an active project, but it may be fun to see if we can get any farther without a PM?

That's interesting,

I should have thought to look at the WHOIS first, but instead I looked otherwheres last night and found this:

thisisnotporn Twitter

I only find this interesting because it looks like in July of this year he's saying it's alive again.

The reason this attracted me in the first place is I spoke to a friend who played the original TINP, and I guess the first puzzle was that image of the oven that's on the twitter account. Not that that means it's legit, but it at least suggests it's connected.

Anyway, a bit more searching, I found a [url="http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=6096"]REALLY LONG FORUM[/url] which looks like was fairly active up until less than a year ago. It looks like the forum may have followed all renditions of the game, I can't tell, and it looks like the current home page of TINP.com is a puzzle that nobody ever solved and is now the homepage(?). It seems to be the main focus of the forum on the last page at least.

Anyway, hidden somewhere in the forum they link the image in the spectrogram to this album
