July 1, 200620 yr the site isnt working for me. it used to. Keep trying... The site is most likely extremely busy now that it's down to the last few hours... It took me quite a few trys to get it up again... BTW, 1:19:00 left...
July 1, 200620 yr Only thing I've managed to dig up in the last hour or so is that it's hosted by http://www.theplanet.com I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
July 1, 200620 yr Im goin to bed, take a screenshot when it happens, thanks. :D You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "(bleep) you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say "(bleep) you."
July 1, 200620 yr The clock is based on the user's clock meaning if you speed it up... I tried to go all the way but it realized that I was and went back to normal.... Droolman's item Guide | My RuneScape pictures | My barrows videos, with download link!Free Image Hosting! | Free File Hosting!
July 1, 200620 yr take a screen shot for me when it happens k? You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.

July 1, 200620 yr what? You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any.

July 1, 200620 yr I'm really intrested to see what product this is. 5 Minutes left. LoL I would laugh so hard it if said "Congradulations the timer has reached zero, the end"
July 1, 200620 yr Complete As of July 1st, 2006, the E8 Project has completed. The purpose of this project was to determine the reactions of the internet public to lack of information. History The domain eon8.com was chosen, as it is short, easily remembered, and eon9 was already registered. It was originally posted on http://www.msfn.org, but was promptly removed as 'spam'. It was enough time for it to be copied to other forums throughout December 2005. Results We were amazed to discover that the site was instantly linked with terrorism, simply for the fact that it seems mysterious. Evil was the number one first impression people had of the site, in spite of the fact that there are no threats on the site. The only thing Eon 8 says is "We don't want you here". Nothing else. Other less disappointing opinions were social experimentation (which was correct), James Bond movie viral marketing, and promotions for video games. For many people, being faced with a countdown timer was an instant reason to try to shut down or hack the site. This is a worrying reaction, that if someone doesn't understand something they must destroy it. As a result, the servers have been hit quite hard these last few days, but luckily 99% of the 'hackers' could easily be described as 'l4me n00bs'. Another worrying example of paranoia was how quickly people would jump to conclusions, such as telephoning the registered owner of a dog seen in a photograph on a server that hosts a page that links to eon8. Surprises The folks at Unfiction.com were the most resourceful and inventive, they successfully managed to decrypt several of the 'codes' on the site, forcing them to be re-encrypted using more secure methods. FAQ What about eon5.com? Nothing to do with us. Pure coincidence, but worked in our favor. What about the 8th eon being the end of the world? We picked Eon 8 because Eon 9 was already taken. We didn't know about the significance of this. Eon is a cool sounding word! Why July 1st? We didn't know how long it would take to get the word out using our subtle promotion methods. We allowed over 6 months. What do the codes on the site mean? They're mostly randomly generated integers encrypted with md5, but with certain letters removed and replaced. The Logs page is simply based on the current timestamp, encrypted and modified. You can't decrypt them, they really are random numbers. What is the Deployment Map? They're dots placed over major cities and several random locations, it was done mostly from memory. The random gif filename is an added touch to force a slight delay on loading, which looks more impressive in Internet Explorer, but not as much in Firefox. What's the password? There isn't one. If you did somehow manage to get in, you'd see an empty folder with a single text file that says "This is a decoy folder. Please connect to the internal secure network". Can I see your website statistics? Yes, click here. Are you anything to do with Scientology? Did you see anything talking about a Free Personality Test or Xenu? Use your brain. Who are you, really? The most I can tell you is I am a 23 year old web designer from Florida named Mike. I can't narrow it down anymore than that. When I say 'we', I really mean 'me'. Conclusions People take things too seriously and panic over the most trivial things. But at the same time there are many people out there who think things through without jumping to conclusions. You can't let pointless speculation rule your lives and force you to live in fear. In Closing Thanks to everyone who kept things interesting, especially to the folks at unfiction. Sorry there is no ARG for you to play, but at least you had fun while it lasted. Click here for one Final Message from Eon 8 BE HAPPY THE END Sincerely, x21b Happy birthday, mtcaptain. From 'ls224' (aka x21b). Yes that really was me in the #eon-8 channel

July 2, 200620 yr I didn't even read any posts and I immediatly pressed the post button and I say: Hoax. But if it isn't, let us all start "moychandising". This site gave me the power of the schwartz. Sorry, it seemed so much like a Space Balls site. :D
