Well, I went to the site, entered all my credit card information to become a member, and all there was was naked people... and now I am also somehow broke and divorced. Hmm. I think it's nothing but I'll keep looking.

So I was looking at the most popular videos on youtube and there are a bunch of blogs by some girl called MRirian. Although some of the videos are kinda weird its pretty much your average youtube blog. Then I see on of the comments links to http://www.magibon.com where a video plays over and over again. To me this scream ARG or maybe a viral marketing campaign for a movie. Or its just some freak with a thing for japanese teenage girls.

creepy I know a game right now where there is a lot of players who can speak Japanese.(or translate really well) I'll post this on there and see if they can figure anything out.

Page source contains this.. among other things.

If it's new ARG, it would be very strange to wait for 2 years after Magichan opened her youtube blog.

But she is very very strange. Hypnotising.

Weeee, I've visited "Danung.com". On the site you can see the word "yaranaika" ("let's do it, baby"), well, sexual meaning.

But look in the source
Shocked

Wow, I guess he really wants to do it. There's a guy on youtube called Danung who's apparently denied being behind all this but then he would if it was some type of ARG. Your right though two years is alot of time to build up the start of a game. Unless it just started off as a fake blog and is moving more towards an ARG type of thing.

I checked danung.com. It's totaly demolished. So I suppose, Danung may be not the "stalker Frank", but the virtual victim of online vandalism (perhaps?).

I opened new thread btw. You're welcome Smile

Received this around 50 minutes ago:
From jasonSPLATlocatemyfriends.co.uk
Hi,

I'm sorry, I guess this is a little strange, but I really need your help
- I don't know who else I can ask!

My friends Martin and Rebecca have been missing for nearly a week now,
and the Police think they've been kidnapped. I know that something's up,
I just don't know what.

Can you help me?

I look forward to hearing from you,

Jason Thomas (family friend)

Site isn't asking for money. Wonder if anyone else go the same email (look at the header - was it BCC or CC?
Guess you could offer to help.
Misspelled Rebecca's name on the poster.
Nothing showing up on the news about these names as missing/kidnapped people (so it's probably not real life).
Guess you have a trailhead here.

Two e-mails

I've had two e-mails in the last couple of days that look ARG-related - and they have been copied to virtually everyone on unfiction too, by the look of things.

First one:

Quick email...‏
From: Ketsui Chan (ketsuichanSPLATgmail.com)
Sent: 19 February 2008 01:37:22
To let you all know, I'm not being punished... more later...

Has Grace contacted anyone yet?
--------------

Second one:

Might need a favour!‏
From: Derek Bees (derekbeesSPLATgooglemail.com)
Sent: 19 February 2008 14:59:30

Hey Buddy

Got your email address from a friend of yours (238, 130, 238), I'm running into some trouble with W and I might need to hit you up for some help soon, forewarned is forearmed so keep your eyes peeled. You never know....
--------------

Any comments?
