Firstly I strong think you should look at this http://eon8theinvestigation.ytmnd.com/by the way i didn't right thishes the orignal http://www.gmshowcase.dk/forums/showthread...tid=8725&page=1Some speculate it to be the end of the world. Others think it's a terorist attack, and others think it's a mass-computer virus. What is it?http://www.eon8.comA countdown to which nobody knows. Some of the links are restricted, and depending on the site that refers you there, you may not be able to access it.Others of course think it's just a hoax, by why the tracking of IP, location, and browser? (seen on bottom)Many codes on one of the pages of seemingly random letters and numbers, I presume there's one added each time someone visits, along with a red dot added to the map where they live…So what is it? Only time will tell…However, some things have been noticed that could be hints.Such as when you access it from a restricted referral site it gives something like:"Please immediately consult C22:S13 of your handbook for further instructions."Which could mean chapter 22, section 13. Handbook…In the Bible, Revelations 22:13 says:"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."So what is to become of us, the world, and the internet? We'll just have to wait and find out. Goes off midnight tonight here at GMT -5.An investigation link right here:http://eon8theinvestigation.ytmnd.com/

hahaha! I was right! IT WAS HIS BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
here is what it says, you go to eon8.com, then click reveal the truth…{eon8} CompleteAs of July 1st, 2006, the E8 Project has completed.The purpose of this project was to determine the reactions of the internet public to lack of information.HistoryThe domain eon8.com was chosen, as it is short, easily remembered, and eon9 was already registered.It was originally posted on www.msfn.org, but was promptly removed as 'spam'. It was enough time for it to be copied to other forums throughout December 2005.ResultsWe were amazed to discover that the site was instantly linked with terrorism, simply for the fact that it seems mysterious. Evil was the number one first impression people had of the site, in spite of the fact that there are no threats on the site. The only thing Eon 8 says is "We don't want you here". Nothing else.Other less disappointing opinions were social experimentation (which was correct), James Bond movie viral marketing, and promotions for video games.For many people, being faced with a countdown timer was an instant reason to try to shut down or hack the site. This is a worrying reaction, that if someone doesn't understand something they must destroy it. As a result, the servers have been hit quite hard these last few days, but luckily 99% of the 'hackers' could easily be described as 'l4me n00bs'.Another worrying example of paranoia was how quickly people would jump to conclusions, such as telephoning the registered owner of a dog seen in a photograph on a server that hosts a page that links to eon8.SurprisesThe folks at Unfiction.com were the most resourceful and inventive, they successfully managed to decrypt several of the 'codes' on the site, forcing them to be re-encrypted using more secure methods.FAQWhat about eon5.com?Nothing to do with us. Pure coincidence, but worked in our favor.What about the 8th eon being the end of the world?We picked Eon 8 because Eon 9 was already taken. We didn't know about the significance of this. Eon is a cool sounding word!Why July 1st?We didn't know how long it would take to get the word out using our subtle promotion methods. We allowed over 6 months.What do the codes on the site mean?They're mostly randomly generated integers encrypted with md5, but with certain letters removed and replaced. The Logs page is simply based on the current timestamp, encrypted and modified. You can't decrypt them, they really are random numbers.What is the Deployment Map?They're dots placed over major cities and several random locations, it was done mostly from memory. The random gif filename is an added touch to force a slight delay on loading, which looks more impressive in Internet Explorer, but not as much in Firefox.What's the password?There isn't one. If you did somehow manage to get in, you'd see an empty folder with a single text file that says "This is a decoy folder. Please connect to the internal secure network".Can I see your website statistics?Yes, click here.Are you anything to do with Scientology?Did you see anything talking about a Free Personality Test or Xenu? Use your brain.Who are you, really?The most I can tell you is I am a 23 year old web designer from Florida named Mike. I can't narrow it down anymore than that. When I say 'we', I really mean 'me'.ConclusionsPeople take things too seriously and panic over the most trivial things. But at the same time there are many people out there who think things through without jumping to conclusions. You can't let pointless speculation rule your lives and force you to live in fear.In ClosingThanks to everyone who kept things interesting, especially to the folks at unfiction. Sorry there is no ARG for you to play, but at least you had fun while it lasted.Click here for one Final Message from Eon 8BE HAPPYTHE ENDSincerely, x21bHappy birthday, mtcaptain. From 'ls224' (aka x21b). Yes that really was me in the #eon-8 channelHmm nothing so far, after 2000 and this I guess I'll have to wait until December 21st 2012 then.
Haha nice
