Great joke... kudos to "Mike". I’m almost definitely buying a shirt :D I stayed awake ’til 5am to witness the last seconds of the countdown, and enjoyed every minute of it over at ytmnd.com.

That was AWESOME XD! I can't hold it against them for this, Mike got us all pretty good. Personally, I had fun with some friends trying to decypher the code; it was a great mental exercise using everything we could get our hands on - old movies, the bible, world war 2 code breaker information, ect. And yeah, I got scared too, but I always worry about something, so I guess I'm going to take his advice and try to rethink my reasons for things. ...I also might buy a T-shirt. Best joke EVER. Closing words: YOU _RULE_ MIKE! -Kitten_Overdrive OMG! That was AWESOME XD!

I'm hear, yawning- envious of the attention these people are getting.. They pulled off a scheme no better than other sites have put off in the past. hell, look at the Dharma Initiative. I think it has to do with the way the information got around -- People who weren't very in the know jumped on the topic and investigated it -- they assumed it was a cyber-terrorist unit or something very mysterious -- but nobody played devil's advocate to idea to think, "well maybe it's just some loner behind the PC trying to cause an effect to the masses".. It's basic psychology that everyone likes to "Leave their mark", and that is what this person, or group of people have decided to do. We should take it the next step further, analyze them.

We should take it the next step further, analyze them.
