I'm too afraid to accept a plugin at work to test this... anyone see anything cool... I just get a server hosting/redirection, thingy...
maybe this is just a natural imbed to the coding of the source?

Doesn't go anywhere for me--404. May be a red herring.

Not accepting the plugin either, but nutshell form while it's stalled:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It leads to the CJB.NET free redirection site. http://rejudgereligion.cjb.net is apparently not a valid redirect, but there're three input boxes: register a cjb.net redirect name, log in under a username/password to upload a website, or get a shorter URL a la TinyURL.
[meta] I'm guessing that the PMs either didn't upload anything yet, or this is a red herring, or there was a problem in decoding. [/meta]

I was thinking it was a puzzle. ie rejudgereligion = something, and then something.cjb.net is the correct site.

Come to think of it this is not the first time this URL has been mentioned, so I think it may be some thing. Can't remember where I saw it before, but it's been brought up.

I tend to agree with Stormalong on this one... We've had 404's but they've pretty much been intentional to this point. I don't think, (especially a day later) that we'd have any dead pages going on here... unless there's an error of sorts (meaning we've got an improperly formatted page), but even then, there'd be a clue in the source... I just tend to think we've got to work out what the rejudging of religion gives us, and try plugging that in... (then again, it may be that we need another subdomain, that we obtain from another puzzle or something... I don't know....) Point being, there's not been too much, if any, unintentional screw-ups yet...

Well, it's not aetheist or aetheism, which is the only thing that sprang to mind.

Riffing off of Dorkmaster's suggestion...
"re judge religion"
Okay... Well, when you judge something... You decide if it's good or bad.
And there is a band called "Bad Religion"... So http://badreligion.cjb.net/
Is a very interesting web site at first look... But I think it's probably a dead end.
There is one post in the guest book... It's from December of last year.
I'm starting to think I'm better at Bees then I am at Keys.

Posting for completeness, I think everyone knows the solve to this.
Brendan (the webmaster, and a friend of Steve's) took the website down after CyberStrike got to it and put a message for us there. However, Strike being Strike, he decided to make it look like it was all screwed up. Brendan thought the site was corrupted and removed it. After the chat last night, he's agreed to put it back up in its "corrupted form." It should be back tomorrow (9-22.)
Which begs the question - why did the PMs give us this site if they hadn't put it up yet? Was it a mistake, or just trying to make the writing a little better (if Strike is screwing with the mp3s, then it makes sense he would put the link there, even if Brendan removed the site.)

Cyberstrikedidn't know the site was down, probably--he put the message on the site and then left hints to it in various places, but when Brendan took the site down Cyberstrike didn't notice (or was incapacitated) and left the hints in place, thinking it would lead people to the then non-existant website.
