 Check this thing out, guys.
www.thisisnotporn.comThis is a bizarre puzzle site, and I think that some of you are probably savvy enough to be able to muddle through this. We're on about the fifth puzzle right now, and we're massively stuck. We need all the help we can get, people. It's, uh.... well, let's just say the thing is ridiculously hard and it'll certainly kill some time for you if you get bored. If you need help on getting to the point we're at, I'll be glad to either point you in the right direction or just give you the passwords. Mostly, we need new eyes on this. It's a forum of about 600 people and we got nothing. So, if you consider yourself to be smart (and actually, I think I'll need Sub and Sangre for this, mostly Vinnie, since he's got the military thing going... and maybe Big Mike for the computer and html stuff) and you've got time to waste on a series of bizarre and disturbing puzzles referencing html code, literature and ciphers of a fairly complex nature, come on down. It's good exercise for the brain, and the whole thing is enough to make one crazy. The guy who designed it might be a genius of some variety.

Oh hell. It's that knot. I forgot its name, but I'm almost sure it's a knot.
I guess I'll get started..is there anything I need at the forums, or should I go to the red binary number page to start?

That's a fine way to start. I think that instead of just automatically catching you fellas up, what I'll do is walk you through all of the progress that we've made so far so you can see how this guy's mind works.
Frankly, the only thing that bothers me about this site is that the guy who made it is from colorado (where they got that mountain military complex)... and he's obviously someone that knows a lot about cryptography. Which means he's either a bored university student with some kind of advanced math degree or he's a military spook of some kind. Either way, it's a lot of time on his hands.

sound is hugely important in a couple of the puzzles. later on, you're actually going to need to run things through a bloody spectrograph.
also, diddy is going to be useful to have around. he can photoshop things and put them together. also means that he can take things apart, which is going to be necessary as well
