Not at all.
I can't believe I'm being looked down upon for having a different outlook on this one topic.
This website is supposed to about about alternative/free thinking, but yet if it's not what some of you want to hear you either ignore it or condemn it. Pardon me for hoping to make people think outside the "omg we're all gonna die" box.

We're not looking down on you, but you seem to think that we're all crying "doomsday", as is evident in your last sentence.

I've come to different conclusions now than I had yesterday. Especially considering all of the links to Justin Williams that other members here have pointed out.

Yes, I agree the date is supposed to be read as 2010. I'll recap my thoughts from many pages back.
If you look in the source code for jackblack12.info, search for target, you find two numbers. These are Unix Time Stamps that the timer is counting down to. Using the ctime function, these evaluate to:
1277190180 = Tue Jun 22 08:03:00 2010
1315741620 = Sun Sep 11 12:47:00 2011
The reason for some missing zeroes at the end, is his time stamps are for milliseconds not the normal seconds after the epoch.
en.wikipedia.org...
But some people speculated that the "1" meant "Phase 1", which would make sense. So of course the time would be represented as that specific Unix time stamp, as that what was on the timer; to the computer, it's a time. But to a human, the "1" could mean anything, including "Phase 1".

That's like saying if I weighed myself right now and it read "165", that I really only weigh 65 pounds and the "1" stands for something else.

I'm giving the skeptics side of things on THIS particular topic.
When did I say conspiracy's aren't real? Never once, you're putting words in my mouth.
I believe in a lot of conspiracies, just not this one. Sorry.

A 5 year old can read a weight scale. Then what are you saying there?
So if you was a believer why do you fight so hard against a possibility.
We all know that chances are low that all of this is true, but we can't say that all of this is false. This is what I wanted to tell you.

I was only remarking on people saying it's fake with things like "Go put on your tinfoil hat" in discussions, which is what I thought you were getting at. Didn't say you believed / disbelieved in anything, wasn't meant to be a personal attack. And yes, this is most likely an experiment / exercise of sorts, and kind of early to tell along with all the other random crap flying around anyways...can't say I wouldn't mind the last few slides of part 5 coming true though, viva la revolution?
Edit: Whats with all the StaringBack hate?

Who's to say the "1" couldn't stand for something else? It's a counter. It shows numbers, which can mean anything. It might be 1 year, but it didn't really make sense for it to be 1 year. First, a year is a long time away to start dropping clues on a website (jackblack12.info) and second, I don't know if America could make it another year.

Think of it this way, the days spot has 3 slots. So if you counted UP on the counter, it would reach 365 and then the number to left would go up. It's all sequential.

The weight scale was referencing the time counter. It is obviously a time counter, and all the numbers in it are counting down something. That's what the counter was written to do.
I compared that because some people thought the "1" stood for "phase 1". My point was that you can't just make numbers like that fit your agenda.
I'm believer, but does that mean I have to believe every conspiracy out there? No. Nomatter what it is, I try not to just accept something blindly. Whether the government is telling me something or the conspirator.
