found this in source code for the "updates" window for the www.an-open-letter.com from the links in www.she-is-here.com ... does it mean anything? i'm not too sure if it means anything really... so just wondering Rolling Eyes

 		One of the lines says "Thor". Now (and this is if those are comment-lines and not actually lines of code), the only Thor I can think of (besides the Norse god and the Marvel comic character) is a guy who used to frequent GameFAQs under the name "Gothor" (which he clarified as "go thor, not goth or"), and came up with this really bizarre story about men in black, alien potatoes that take over people's minds, insane stuff like that.

Aside from the fact that the 'cursed tape' story seems about as farfetched, I can't see any connection, but I just felt somewhat compelled to mention it.

 		Well, I just saw "an open letter" and I am POSITIVE that someone on the she-is-here boards has had that guy with the symbol as their avatar... and it was someone I THOUGHT was a player, not written by buzztone, since I made a little list of probably scripted peoples and avatars. Of course, the best explaination is that there are more of them that I thought, but still...

Who knew about that site before we did?

I've got a theory. Each of those probably stands for the name of an in-game site.
<!--mr--> = ?
<!--kp--> = ?
<!--mr--> = ?
<!--aol--> = An Open Letter
<!--thor--> = The Horror of Ringu
<!--sdtl--> = Seven Days to Live
<!--sid--> = Samara is Dead
<!--rtm--> = ?

Some of the sites listed on the links page on she is here are missing from this list. Some on the links page aren't here. Looks like we have some more sites to find.

 		Parallel city!

edit: Never mind, that's the same site that was linked in the first incarnation of the online Ring "game". I remember it well. And KP = katiespage.com, which no longer exists as an "in-game" site. You'll have to go back in time to see the original page.

Isn't at least one of these from the previous Ring promo too?

They all are. I'm fairly certain that the page hasn't changed from when I last saw it, more than two years ago.

 		The six original parallel sites:

· Horrorofringu -
· Sevendaystolive -
· Anopenletter -
· Sadakoisdead -
· Mangaringu -
· Whatscaresme -

So maybe <!--mr--> = Mangaringu ?

I also see on their Search Engine Positioning page:

katiespage.com/wwwboard/messages/234.html (and a variety of different message number endings)

So <!--kp--> = katiespage

As well as <!--mr--> = themorganranch.com

And ring-themovie.com (<!--rtm--> )

So is this all from before?
