Homer Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 This morning, I went to YTMND and what was the latest fad this morning? No, not Bill Cosby drinks Coffee with Pikachu... but I see a crapload of "Eon8" sites. I figured it would be some nerdy Star Trek reference... Instead, I find out its this mysterious website (similar to that ThisIsNotPorn site, which is one huge confusing puzzle that had a topic on here awhile back) that has a timer that has 1 day left before it goes off. The webpage itself is highly secretive, most areas are accessible by having a login acount at the site, and most of the messages are encryption codes. Either this website is a clever hoax (likely), some cyber terrorism thingy, or (to an extreme) the end of the world... Heres a few links: The website thats "scaring the internets" (Warning, this website will track you) Eon8: The Investegation (YTMND site) And a funny site for good balance...

ats86 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 My 'crackpot' theory is that it's something to do with Scientology. On the main page there's a password-protected link at the bottom that says 'theta9', which reminded me of thetan, which is what Scientologists believe to be a spirit or soul or something. Also, like it said in the YTMND video, there was the thing about 'audits' (another Scientology term) and the 'handbook' sounds like it could be something to do with Scientology. Oh, and their server is located in Melbourne! But yeah, it's probably nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Yeah, I think it's a hoax. But it is a bit weird that it has some kind of tracking of its users. I'm gonna wait another 22 minutes and see what happens at the end of the countdown. Also, half the time the page doesn't load for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Yup, it was a hoax. According to the site's owner/designer, it was a fake website used to experiment with how much attention he could get by making a mysterious website with little information on it.
