From the Wiki article for "Viral Marketing":
Undercover: A viral message presented as a cool or unusual page, activity, or piece of news, without obvious incitements to link or pass along. In Undercover Marketing, it is not immediately apparent that anything is being marketed. Particular effort is made to make the discovery of the item seem spontaneous and informal, to encourage natural memetic behavior. Outside world "clues", such as graffiti appearing in cities with key viral words.
So doing some digging:
http://eon8.com:8000/ is a shoutcast site
clicking stream url brings you to www.notebookinhand.com
the only person who POSTED the link is the site admin? Coinsidence?
Notebookinhands ip is 67.18.245.243
eon8.com is 67.18.245.244
http://www.chrisrossi.com/ owner of notebookinhand's main page mentions him starting a new site but doesn't explain or link to it.

The site admin on tundra states to be from Australia but 15 years old? Chris Rossi is married maybe a we
here's what i might have found..
i was going through http://www.eon8.com/logs/
and line 13 came to my attention out of nowhere, maybe because of superstition lol.
so i proceeded to think about how the line was structured. each one is a multiple of four.
B10A
3AA8
2732
5B9A
44E0
4866
75AB
AFA2
D816
3040
8108
1706
36AB
51E7
9BF0
17F9
so i thought, why not google them. i came across one of them.
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/b10a/browsertest.html
k, nothi
ng suspicious... so i then go to 3AA8,
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/3aa8/browsertest.html
note the "Browser Test Page for Unicode Han Character 'to mend; to repair; to copy; to write out' (U+3AA8)"
weird, so then i go to the next one 2732 www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2732/index.htm
its an open centre asterisk... k nothing here
then i go to 5B9A http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/5b9a/browsertest.html
note the "Browser Test Page for Unicode Han Character 'decide, settle, fix' (U+5B9A)"
k, something seems weird. then i go to 44E0, http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/44e0/index.htm
note the "Unicode Han Character 'the water plantain, the lotus floating on the water' (U+44E0)" seems out of place

I was developing a mod for UT2k3 and I had created numerous pages for my mod and it's homepage was designed to tell little except that whatever the site was about is real, and is now active. I never once mentioned anything about it being a game, nor did I ever mention what the name of my game meant. It was the perfect set up, people would search for my game and stumble on this strange site with similar requirements: such as login, access denied areas, and realistic screenshots and maps of real locations.
This was about the time the "game" Majestic from EA came out and I thought, that would be awesome if I could do this free as a sort of background for my mod. The mod died off into perpetual design, but the idea of fake websites still amazes me and I will still eventually use it ... this most likely is a viral ad of some sorts
okay 5. but seriously i want everyone who comes here to read this. im not even kidding at all. I went to the site at 3 different times, about 5 minutes inbetween. the first time i went the timer was at 1 day 0 hours, 8 minutes, 34 seconds. i remembered it that well because when i went 5 minutes later, the timer was 1 day 8 minutes 34 seconds. then again 5 minutes later, 1 day 8 minutes 34 seconds. the counter worked, dont get me wrong, it went down, but when i left and came back, it started at the same time
i wasnt done though, comment didnt have enough room. my brother came into the room and said the site didnt exist when i gave him the url, so i showed him the site, but this time when i went on, it had jumped to 23 hours 48 minutes, and something seconds. weird, huh? try for yourselves one time. but i know what i saw. dont try to convince me otherwise.
Also, tomorrow night, I'd like to get a voice chat server together for watching the final minutes of the countdown. If anyone has any means of supporting a fairly large size ventrilo or teamspeak chat for the purpose, please PM me. I will decide on a method and will post any information on the chat here.
Um, excuse me, but the military site refers mean nothing, I can forge referers, and i do it on a regular basis. I did it to serials.ws, and their fron page said "Jaguarstrike.Owns.You.Jaguarstrike.Owns.You.Jaguarstrike.Owns.You.Jaguarstrike.Owns.You.Jaguarstrike.Owns.You." for hours.
I think ill do it here too.

Now that is strange almsot looks exactly like the map on the deployment tracker they have on their site. I suspect three things realistically, One it's a new kind of torrent tracker thats not centralized, viral marketing for a new product, or a push for cleaner energies or something the like.
if this turns out to be a real site with real negative effects and it is somehow related to scientology I will go out and shoot as many scientologists as I can. in fact I will start a resistance effort against scientology in which we att....... OH MY GOD THEY'RE HER0RWQEHR5T82U9852502568324687@*u#*(%&GERJNHGJID#*)$#&&*@%^.........................................................
no seriously think about it. we have the potentional power to politically satire any world leader and have the contempt spread across the world wide web. we also can expose consirpacys to the public such as with scientology and we have a couple thousend people that can easily be swayed to unite togetehr for a cause with a well made top 15er. in addition, we have an army of kick *ss pop culture icons as well as the NEDM cat
I would've brute forced it, and it would have saved alot of time. The username was a word and the password was only 5 char. I hacked it using Mysql. It's a test site to see how much traffic they get. There's a forum and everything about how many people will come wondering what the countdown means. It's counting down to the admin's birthday.
OK. HeatherChandler has cracked the code but cannot do flash to save her life. So here's the drill. Over at NewGrounds some posters figured out that the "Imminent" thing is the genome of the fruit fly. Someone at the blogspot about eon8whatthehellisit posted a msg about it being a "day important in history". It is Canada's Independence Day July 1st. Notice all the dots around Hudson Bay. I did a google on "c22 s13" and... c22 s13 is the government code for the repeal of the Animal Protection Act.
Opps ran out of room. I think this IS going to be an act of ecological terrorism by extreme animal rights activists. Somehow it involves fruitflies, Canada, and July 1st. It's the best theory I can come up with and I really don't think this is a viral because they keep deleting the wiki and forum posts and such. Would someone with a NG account please go there and post this new information?
If it is true about what somebody said about the end of the world coming at a time when the people do not know about it, then this may be it- face it, not every single person in the world knows about this. Only people like us and whoever else has been watching this thing count down like a bomb know.
