Sorry, pal. I wasn't trying to burst anyone's bubble. I just don't know why I didn't see it before, I don't believe in coincidence and it's all starting to come together really simply.
Still, until we have some definitive answers that can be proved without a shadow of a doubt, then we'll just have to wait and see what happens August 3rd. I'm pretty sure that this is pop culture related and not some grand revelation. = /

So I have a question to all on this thread. First off why did this topic prompt me and soo many others to suddenly now join???? I have lurked for 2 years and have ALMOST joined several times but never did. Why now ? Why this?
My question is about the sum total of this all...see not just the parts, as in details. what difference will the END result make? if this is a college thesis, marketing campaign, or a huge change to the planet and life as we know it, that is the end result.Ask this question to yourself instead......How can this simple website excite the energy and curiosity of people around the world more than any other thread on ats yet and why is there no Moderator participation???? I propose no matter what happens on 8.3.11 we that were drawn to this are now and will be forever changed somehow....hopefully for the better
I think the answer to that is that this mystery and the chase for the answer has touched many aspects and genres that drew us all to ATS in the first place. We have come up with theories so diverse, yet so inclusive of many different boards here. The draw here is that the mystery is so simple (lack of information) and yet so complex (so many intuitions and connections). As for moderator involvement, I expect the lack of it is because overall we are working on this as a team without fighting amongst ourselves.
This thread has brought alot of people together from diverse interests and backgrounds in a great conversation.
I have learned more about things I wouldn't have in this thread than any other single thread on ATS since I joined.

They stated they do not want to be connected to chan/4/ at all.
Not quite. They said that they didn't want their stigma involved anymore then it already is.
We gotta go deeper. /domcobb
Well, ok, I think we can take away from that they don't want to be involved with chan/4/, as in aligned with them.

Could have been a ping timeout then. I tried it just a minute ago, and it was still refusing connections, so, we shall see.
I would go for some standard anon logins, unless they just reconfigured the passwords, or removed anon capability, and restarted. All just depends on their permissions and what they expect.
Maybe someone had a dictionary password, and they changed it for security. Lots of explanations why it went down, but paranoia is a preserver!
Perhaps they want email via anon logins.

Yeah I found this on /x/ and went from there. Haven't seen a thread there for awhile though. If i's a company I doubt they want the association. Which they're going to get regardless.
