I was going to _try_ to go to ARGFest since I live in Massachusetts anyway, but I can't Sad

Edit: By the way, there is a server hooked up to that dreamhost page, it's running SMTP...

Another edit: I used nmap to list all the ports topen, to see if maybe the website is operating on a different port:
Quote:
Discovered open port 113/tcp on 208.97.183.5
Discovered open port 22/tcp on 208.97.183.5
Discovered open port 21/tcp on 208.97.183.5
Discovered open port 25/tcp on 208.97.183.5
Discovered open port 23/tcp on 208.97.183.5
Discovered open port 548/tcp on 208.97.183.5
Discovered open port 587/tcp on 208.97.183.5


Yet another edit: LOL I Googled the site, and it returned a hit from a post here at unfiction: Link. It looks like someone got banned from Unfiction's IRC channel while using an IRC client from that server... so I would assume "raven" is the owner.

That suggests to me that it may be related to ARGfest, but is something for those who "can't go to" it to do?...
That's what I thought, too...

Turns out that 'sparkletts' is a dreamhost server (duh, I guess), so that's no help. Still stuck.

Hey, concerning the "Can'tgotu," I got one:

from 43616e2774476f5475splat636f6d696e67736f6f6e.com
If you Can'tGoTu my little surprise, maybe you could help find out more about
it.

Oh, my domain (at weebly.com) should help.


Any ideas?

(Yaaaay, first trailhead e-mail!)

Well, http://comingsoon.weebly.com/ is for a 2007 revival meeting, so that ain't it (don't think so anyway) and variations on http://cantgotu.weebly.com/ come up empty, so I'm back at Dunce Dunno

Despoiler has it, for what it's worth...

Hey guys was just in the neighbourhood and the stuff about argfest caught my eye so I figured I'd toss in my two cents. I took a closer look at weebly and signed up to see how their addresses went and after experimenting came up with:

That's related to Deleted, already brought up in that thread. It decodes to www.deletedthegame.com, I think.

If it is for the ArgFest-O-Con, should the thread now be called 'Seven Days' ?
