If it's not one thing, it's another

What a ****ing hoax. I can't believe people get taken in by this stuff.

 

[Arthos]

Huh... Hoax or not, the fact that some one would put the time into something like this is trouble.

Both Amuses, and disgusts me, that someone could be so god damned bored.

I don't get Bungie.

They get lucky with the 9-15 year old bracket, who think Halo is "OOO-SHINEY!", and now feel entitled to continue to push the skitzo fanboy button.

 

[Eon]

Wow, that's stupid.

I must flee to the continent of China.

You're worried? How the hell are you guys worried? I bet if they said "OMG THIS IS Y2K ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!" you'd be like "OMG Y2K ALL OVER AGAIN!!!!"

Oh wait, Y2K never happened.... and neither will this.

 

[Arthos]

True. Too elaborate to not be a hoax, but also too elaborate to be a hoax.

Only way to find out what will happen is to wait. My guess is nothing. But you never know. Not in these uncertain times... you never know.

Look at the source to this page:

lol i almost died, pixel plotting for the lose

(view->source in IE, Ctrl-U in firefox, you don't need dreamweaver to view a page's source code )

 

[Arthos]

Yea, thats one main thing that is fishy to me as well.


Unfortunately, this has been irrevocably thrust into my cone of interest, and won't leave until I know WHAT THE **** is going on. It's a hoax. It's gotta be...

From what I can tell, it looks like the timer stops June 30th and a NEW timer starts July 1st, obviously for one of their other projects, like Project X21-B .

diff = ((launch-timenow)/1000)+localdiff;
if(diff<=0 && !document.getElementById('deployed')) {
location.href='/';
/* REDIR UNTIL USER/SERVER SYNC */
}

The site will keep reloading itself until an HTML element (probably a &lt;div&gt is present with the id of "deployed". There's no 2nd timer...

I like how there's a dot next to Great Slave Lake. Be careful, they're plotting to take over the forest!

 

[Arthos]

Who knows what the hell is crap is about.

 

[DiebytheSword]

PUBLICITY STUNT

I can't wait till it sells me men's body wash.

 

[Hash]

Oh noes! We're all gonna die!

 

[Arthos]

Damnit.. I keep trying to dismiss it, but I'll be damned if I'm not intrigued.

and if you feel like listening to idiots who don't know anything about how the internet/computers work (not entirely dissimilar from ESF's Tech Bench section) argue about their respective conspiracy theories, connect to 65.99.206.147 on port 2026 via Ventrilo

This is probably a hoax, and I'm not buying it, but anything is possible these days.
