Mr. Acidrainman, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent report were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone at this site is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. NEDM
Yes, it is quite an unnerving site, assuming that something may happen. Be sure to raise the awareness and tell all of your friends and show them this. It's pretty unknown to the net at the moment, but I know YTMND has the power to change that. This website is generally only appearing in forums on google right now.
I was considering crying out "Viral Advertisement!" like Koompa said, but the thing about that is, if that was the case, we would have heard of this much earlier. Not 2 days before whatever the event is. I'm not ruling out the possibility of a stupid corporate marketing strategy. But I will say this; I enjoy my peaceful days, as any sane human being should, and I don't hope for this to be some horrendous massive netattack.
Tell everyone. Show all of your friends and everyone you know this YTMND. If we put our heads together, someone is bound to break through and find out something.
Also, I have edited a part where I labeled the codes on the forum as Hexidecimal. It was 1am and I did not notice that G and H were in the code, clearly not Hex. However, the codes on the deployment tracker are hexidecimal.
It's all crap, if it was some hacking thing, it would be a lot less conspicuous, like some random private forum or something. It's all designed and it's an advertizement. Hackers are too lazy to do anything like this. Some company just created a site and did whatever they could think of to make it look suspicious and official.
I'm not sure why you say I'm paranoid. I've stated that it could be anything. My personal thoughts are that it is either a hoax/ad campaign like most of you say, or some virus attack. I most certainly am not taking this seriously enough to think that this is is something that needs a swat team to bust into the hosting companies buildings and unload 4 rounds into the server computer. I just thought it was something interesting and created a YTMND to show the many facets of issue. Nobody likes downvoters.
But being paranoid is fun. I'd love to see where this goes, and I cross my fingers hoping it's something exciting. Considering "launch locations" it's not just a show or game. probably a store chain or.. something. anyway, i'd like to bring attention to the hidden lines of extra text at the foot of the homepage. if you press ctrl+A, you'll see it.
"Try changing your local computer time, the time show on the site will shift
automaticly, if this really was meant as a world wide countdown, they would
have used only one global clock." It is counting down to a exact time in your region. But basically it could be they are lazy or its a cascading effect per timezone.
A joke going off Vash's YTMND, Ebaums must be using planning an attack. All of the dots represent major YTMND user locations. The government links are on the referral list because Eric's legal team contacted them and bribed them to let it go down, involving the exchange of links to the site which got it added.
So far the clock has been constant for me. It will only change if you mess with your computers clock. If you want an accurate 'launch' time for your region, set your clock to the correct time. I believe though, that since the server is based in Texas, it might also be a good idea to have your time set to GMT - 6. We will see what happens on July 1.
Yeah its definately tracking, not random, I went on and it put a mark where I live, lets get some Russian people to get on, it would really screw up the thing, maber someone go on it from every corner of the globe, even the ocean, that would make the whole map red, strange you dont see dots from wireless people out on the ocean though.

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.
If you believed anything I said than you are gullible. I have no idea what this site means. I do wonder though..
Actually, in their map, they look to have outsmarted themselves. I grabbed sattelite photographs of their Northern Siberian dot and there's absolutely nothing there but a mountain range. Not even a field. It's quite near the most desolate area on Earth - at the most, maybe 500 people live under that big old dot.
"What's more, the server for this site is based outta Dallas, TX. And that
'distribution' thing is an animated gif. :P" Wrong, what's interesting is that when you save the picture of the world map with the dots on it to your desktop, the dots don't appear anymore. It's not an animated gif... That's really strange..
Nice find, though It does look alot like an ad for a new terminator movie.
Just a quick note:eon2.com=odd geneva architecutral site, eon3.com= odd "australisia" home automation store, eon5.com=very odd and creep picture of some hallway or mirror, eon9.com=Some chinese or other asian symbols(tried translating with google, didnt work) If someone can translate that for us that would be cool.
Anyone else dig far enough to look into the "night of long knives"?
Happy Anniversary.
"On the night of June 29th - June 30th 1934, units of the SS arrested the leaders of the SA and other political opponents. Men such as Gregor Strasser, von Schleicher and von Bredow were arrested and none of them had any connection with Röhm. The arrests carried on for 2 nights. Seventy seven men were executed on charges of treason though historians think the figure is higher." Read Up.
SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE IT!
I brought the situation to the Newgrounds BBS to see if someone might have any information on it. Someone did, he managed to do a full scale search on the site and everything. He came up with some pretty good stuff. I linked to the page where his data is. Just scroll down until you see the really long post.

Okay, it's Viral Advertising by a company called Infinium. They appeared at E3 and also made the so-called "Ghost Console" (lol).
They got hacked by some guy named 'shakes'. And if you go near the bottom of hxxp://www.eon8.com/security then you can see a ytmnd vs. 4chan war.
