As noted in FF discussion, I am passing along a link on behalf of some members who don't want to be known until the curtain is pulled all the way back. They've been working on this and want to give people a chance to speculate on it before the reveal.
Check it out at http://new.begining2007.googlepages.com/home. Any guesses as to who is behind it?
(I am passing along the announcement, but I haven't seen more than you have.)
Ink?
Texas Jack??? Nah, can't be. It would be cool though!
My money is on Ir0n__Man.
...
What? :unsure:

:lol:

Now that would be cool :D
i'm guessing Fusion... that would be sweet.
Freedom Asylum?

Freedom Asylum?
It's definitely not F-A. That site should be fully gone by the end of this month, iirc. Or will it?!
*disappears in a puff of...question marks*
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Siteporium
i got nothing
You simply MUST stop using "F-A" to signify "Freedom-Asylum." I always misinterpret it on the first read through...

We don't like to talk about that....unpleasantness
I was kidding...but what if it is him?
lol I know your kidding I was playing off your joke :)
(Cross-posting here again.)
I have been sent a link to another clue. Check out http://foxanddog0.googlepages.com/home (http://foxanddog0.googlepages.com/home)
There have been some interesting guesses here. Maybe this will narrow things down...
(And, as someone suggested, I don't know what the final site holds either.)
These letters are standing out (wwlkxryw) what does it mean?
I think it has to do with either Ink or Unfluffy
Kenn X?
Robin (Burt Ward): Holy clues and riddles! Batman! Another riddle. It feels like were up against the Riddler here.
Batman (Adam West): True old chum. Remember Robin, in every problem there is always a solution.
Robin: Gosh, yes, Batman, I forgot.
Robin: [about Stumpy's avatar] Gosh, Batman, those look like honest eyes.
Batman: Never trust the old chestnut, 'Crooks have beady little eyes'. It's false.
Robin: Gosh yes, I guess that's true. Sorry, Batman.
Batman: Experience teaches slowly, Robin. And at a cost of many mistakes
Robin: Gosh, if I could just figure out that riddle. Why can't I get it?
Batman: Maybe your mind's on that cute little teenager who waved to you on the way across town, eh?
Robin: Awww, come on, Batman.
Robin: You know something, Batman? I think Style's unto something. Those letters do stand out.
Batman: A sound observation, Robin.
Robin: To the batcave?
Batman: Good thinking, Robin.
and off they go to the batcave (http://www.adamwest.com/). :P
nothing to do with me, i'm still at war with my webhost >_<

Came up with the same code. But I am equally perplexed. Hmmmmmm...
Just for fun, I prepared the following red herring:
[spoiler]I took as a general assumption that the three w's in the code were a URL prefix (i.e., "www") and worked with the remaining letters (assuming their order was also jumbled) to record all 120 possible permutations:
Quote from: Zounds!lkxry lkxyr lkrxy lkryx lkyxr lkyrx lxkry lxkyr lxrky lxryk lxykr lxyrk lrkxy lrkyx lrxky lrxyk lrykx lryxk lykxr lykrx lyxkr lyxrk lyrkx lyrxk klxry klxyr klrxy klryx klyxr klyrx kxlry kxlyr kxrly kxryl kxylr kxyrl krlxy krlyx krxly krxyl krylx kryxl kylxr kylrx kyxlr kyxrl kyrlx kyrxl xlkry xlkyr xlrky xlryk xlykr xlyrk xklry xklyr xkrly xkryl xkylr xkyrl xrlky xrlyk xrkly xrkyl xrylk xrykl xylkr xylrk xyklr xykrl xyrlk xyrkl rlkxy rlkyx rlxky rlxyk rlykx rlyxk rklxy rklyx rkxly rkxyl rkylx rkyxl rxlky rxlyk rxkly rxkyl rxylk rxykl rylkx rylxk ryklx rykxl ryxlk ryxkl ylkxr ylkrx ylxkr ylxrk ylrkx ylrxk yklxr yklrx ykxlr ykxrl ykrlx ykrxl yxlkr yxlrk yxklr yxkrl yxrlk yxrkl yrlkx yrlxk yrklx yrkxl yrxlk yrxkl
Those of you with an hour to waste pointlessly might want to try out these combinations as URLs with the .com or .net suffixes. :wacko:
Having abandoned this red herring, my current ridiculous hypothesis is that the letters in the code have had vowels removed. The replacement of those vowels would yield a further clue. For instance, "w[e] w[a]lk x[-]r[a]y ... etc.," which is clearly not at all helpful. :P

He know's too much to be guessing
GET HIM
More Viral Marketing for the Dark Knight??
C6's old, redone and new skins?
The "kx" consonant combination in the code put me in mind of the old "Freedom Flat" page operated by KennX from the days of yore. Any connection?
EDIT: Ah, I see doctor challenger has made the same observation in an earlier post.
This is pretty cool, actually.
I've got no idea what it means, though. ^_^
Another clue has arrived at my doorstep:
http://readinghistory.googlepages.com/home (http://readinghistory.googlepages.com/home)
I didn't get far with #2, but this one seems pretty juicy. Seems like there are references to some of the guesses we've seen here...
If you look to the lower right you'll see...Where are C6's skins?
If that helps. :unsure:
EDIT:
In the upper right you'll see my freedom force...looks like we're getting warmer here.
EDIT2:
In the upper left, the two words that are encircled make up the phrase hero force.
EDIT3: This list's so many sites, in the north you'll see what happened to the skindex?
Plus, you'll see on a bit down the center, I think it says ever go on the underground?
In the upper left, it says tell the horse I want pancakes. :P
EDIT4: I just noticed after my freedom force, there's my ***.
Don't you think the guy has been lurking around FR and viewing this thread? I give weird conclusions sometimes.
Put it all together and you get the web address. WOOHOO!! Heroforce V2, baby. :thumbup:
I won't ruin it by posting the link. Do the work.
Freedom Force Forever! :blink:

EDIT2:
And to think catwho did not tell us all this time!
EDIT3:
For some reason the optimus prime skin is corrupted.
OMG! That's incredible!!! I did just a quick perusing and was just dazzled! What a fantastic assortment of work!!! This is going to be FUN to go through! Big ups to whom ever created the site...and to all the fantastic artists there in!
And.....thanks to all you code breakers out there! I am no code breaker....so your mad skills are appreciated!
I just want to thank Cat and everyone else involved in building of the new site.
I'd also like to thank Pod and TUE for helping me bring back an idea that was close to me. I'm glad everyone loves the site, it was a lot of work on top of actual rl but we pushed through it because we just wanted to give a gift back to the community for the holidays.
Thanks!
Fantastic! :wub:
i just want to say thanks to AA and pod for going along with this idea and a big thank you to AA for his amazing design work
on the subject of the clues, i'm really surprised people had trouble with the second. plus i thought long time posters would get a kick out of the stuff in the third
edit prime is now working
Since People are There, you should probably get a big new Announcement Thread going.
The site looks great, and is very well designed, and is a welcome addition to the community.
It's wonderful to get access to the work of three of our best, especially in the wake of their "retirement".
Ooh, three of my favourite skinners on one site, it's just like all those other sites that had my favourite skinners on but, er, more! Again! Yay! I look forward to more work from you all (unless you really have retired). The site is pretty nifty, with a good layout and navigation. So, er, congratulations all.
QuoteAnd to think catwho did not tell us all this time!
Nope, TUE swore me to secrecy. I was well aware they were working on something like this, and strongly suspected, when the clues started appearing, that they were connected.
There are a lot of great skins on this site, I look forward to seeing the site grow.
Nice looking site, nice looking skins. Everyone's happy!
