S/He stopped after a while and apologised for trying to attempt it because many didn't take kindly to it. I can see the reasoning I think, for trying though and s/he was big enough to apologise. To err is human, to forgive divine.

The way this game is played is simple: you design a concept,
and make it attractive to a certain group of people. The vehicle
for all this is a website. You think of a neat name like 'open' or
'nexus' or whatever and you start a small path of riddles. And as
your audience is trying to solve them, you change the rules, move
the goalposts and add in some more mystical mumbo. Open didn't
need to think of the next move at all. That was handed to her. All
that had to be done is design a riddle around it.

Pretty ingenious to stay below the radar.

That was also my first thought. Then, I got intrigued by the riddles.
Some clues intertwining are not the creation of a simple mind. Like picking a working phone number with a message, which matches a certain date in a counter, at a certain time like the pi number, and so on. And all clues leading to a very interesting debate about existence and the Universe.
