No idea.

On the Robert Silvers page there are the heads on sticks. When you highlight the bottom of the pictures it says "unhssrvelette". What does this mean? I tried anagrams, heres the list: http://www.wordsmith.org/anagram/ana...english&where=

HERE VENTS LUST is the only one i found made any sense. but look through the list anyway.

Oh yeah: i think on the official forums it said that MR. TINP ended that phone number. sorry :( but check www.thisisnotporn.com/cellphone/ for a list of messages he got on that number.

That actually...is a line from the book, "The Metamorphisis" Go read it, its not a long book...

Does the "MY EYES ARE BURNING HEL"
Have anything to do with the story of the greek goddess, Artmeis, whos daughter was called Brynhild ('Burning Hel'), one of the Valkyries.

Have you guys seen this link?

http://www.thisisnotporn.com/DM/inth...QUITEDLOVE.htm

I've read through about half of this thread, can't remember if this was uncovered or not.

This is really rackling my brain now.

Btw, I got this from the "DON'T STRAY FROM THE PATH PAGE", i still can't make out what it says

Duey Oxburger 03-17-2005 02:41 PM

yes i've seen the link before...there's nothing there except the DDD pop-up

I believe it says "How would you like it if someone came along and picked something off of you?" There's more explanation of it earlier in this thread i think...like pages 8-15 (i could be wrong about the pages)

Duey Oxburger 03-18-2005 02:44 PM

Did anyone notice on the page where you mouse over and this poem shows up
"Like one who on a lonely road,
Doth walk in fear and dread,
And, having once turned round, walks on
And turns no more his head,
Because he know a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread."

at the bottom the words "you are not of the path" flash very fast every once in a while. it could be a clue to a different light, or just something more to confuse you.

TiredTendencies 03-18-2005 09:47 PM

Hello everyone. I got to the My Eyes are Burning Hel page, then got stuck. So I found this site, and now I would like to contribute. The fish page from the my eyes are burning hel link refers to "The curse of the Maserati." As far as I know, the Maserati was an Italian designed car that didn't do too well in America.

Anyway, Yuki has a bad feeling about Gotanda's car. That is what Curse of the maserati refers to.



Gonna check up more to see if there's another Maserati in literature somewhere, but this just popped into my head.




EDIT: IF you click in the lower right corner of the My eyes... page, a popup appears. "SHE IS HIDDEN. THREE ITEMS." I have never seen this before, has it always been there?

Sorry if any of this is a repeat, but it seems as if no one is past the my eyes page yet, and i searched the past 5 pages, didnt notice anything.

EDIT: On the scepter link from thel my eyes... page, the image shown is called "sheepman.gif." Was there a scepter in DDD? Could someone run this through gifshuffle? I always had to go to the library, it won't work on my computer. Sorry again if any of this is old information, just let me know, thanks!

Duey Oxburger 03-19-2005 07:02 AM

You are right about the Curse of the Maserati was a direct DDD reference, i doubt there's anything deeper. The "SHE IS HIDDEN..." pop-up has always been there to my knowledge. Also, I did a CTRL + F for "scepter" on the online version of DDD and found nothing; it was a good thought though.

I really should download gifshuffle...

BTW: you are right...no one has solved the closest light on the "A moth flew in the room when i di4d" page.

crazypeoplethink 03-19-2005 01:51 PM

has anyone thought that maybe the audition, death of a traveling salesman has something to do with a much more recent movie, like Big Fish?

Duey Oxburger 03-19-2005 02:03 PM

care to explain as i have not seen "Big Fish"? I have heard of it though.

TiredTendencies 03-19-2005 04:07 PM

Well, knowing the creator of this site, it's more likely a literature reference. But I wouldn't discount movies either, anything at all helps at this point. The only things with salesmen I can think of are:

"Death Of A Salesman" by Arthur Miller. Synopsis: Willy Loman is a travelling salesman, the book never tells what he's selling. He can no longer sell anything, and is no longer popular He is ridden by flashbacks of "Uncle Ben", who struck it rich and is tempting him in cryptic hints to kill himself. His family notices he is trying to kill himself by inhaling gas from the water heater(?). He eventually kills himself by means of car.

"The Metamorphosis" by Franz Kafka. Gregor Samsa, another salesman, wakes up one morning to find he has been turned into a cockroach, bedbug, some sort of bug like that. His literal death is when an apple rots on his carapace and kills him. His figurative death is as soon as his family stops loving him when they see his new appearance. One of the pages on TINP references the opening of this book. this is the ../carpace.htm page.

"Death Of A Travelling Salesman" by Eudora Welty. This book is about RJ..someone (sorry, cannot remember whom), who eventually 'dies of a broken heart/loneliness.'

For audition i can think only of Kiki's audition, which she cannot attend for obvious reasons.

Maybe the link betweeen the two is how each died? TINP gave a clue on the official forums to 'be literal.' Someone else who got in said it's something "subtle and subliminal." I know separate theories and synopses have been posted here before, but maybe seeing them all together or in different words will help someone. I hope so!

crazypeoplethink 03-19-2005 07:02 PM

Well the thing in Big Fish is the dad turns out to be a traveling salesman.. well the dad loves to tell tall tales, so when the son is talking about his dad he's telling the stories... well at the end of the movie the dad dies listening to the story that his son was telling. The story the son was telling was about how the dad would die.....
as for literal meaning... maybe something like 'heart' could work

punjistick 03-21-2005 01:40 PM

Riges??
 
I might have stumbled on to something. On the Carpace page - ridges is spelled riges. The "Danmarks Riges Grundlov" is the Constitutional Act of the Kingodm of Denmark. If I remember correctly, there has been some talk of June 6, 2005 on the boards. The "Danmarks Riges Grundlov" was signed into effect on the 5th of June, 1953. The June 5, 2005 is on a Sunday. I don't know if they have holidays on the Monday following if it falls on a Sunday or not. June 6th is also Flag Day in Sweeden.

Just a thought....

Idlehumor 03-23-2005 02:48 AM

First post here. This is where I got most of my information before going to the official TINP forums. Anyway, I've concluded a few things that you might want to know. the word "scepter" from the "WhereisGotanda?" page is an anagram for "specter". And my explaination for the password "Tragedy" or "Tragic" is posted at the TINP forums here:
http://www.thisisnotporn.com/forums/...pic=671&st=320
Now the only problem I have is finding out what the username is. I tried the obvious first:
Death of a Traveling Salesman = "Tragic" or a "Tragedy"
Audition = "Thriller" "Horror" etc

but no results. Hope this helps someone find the answers, if you do please let me know.

choymantisbxr 03-25-2005 10:48 AM

hello, ive read most of this forum for help with this isn not porn, im jsut about as far as everyone else. my friends and i noticed faces appearing in the robert silvers page, so i saved the image and looked more closely. sure enough they were there. inverting the colors makes them more obvious. they might be intentional, but i theorize mr. tinp took the picture from a car, with the window up. i think this might be our first look at the person behind this webpage, or better yet, something we can actually use to progress. however, its become abundantly clear that we need a new way of looking at this. we are, at any given time on a webpage. our goal is to progress from this webpage to the next. there are a few ways we can do this....clicking a link, typing a password and changing the adress. we arent popted for passwords on dead end pages such as my eyes are burning hel and the st. johns wort page. that leaves clicking links and changing adresses. ive scoured the pages for links and there are none, so either we need to decipher death of a salesman or type in a new adress. secondly, it would be good if someone could rewrite all the passwords and usernames for new people ( i know its been done before, but this thread is like 30 pages long, we should probably do it again) and give explanations of how these were found, then write a synopsis of all the pathways and dead ends weve seen so far so everyone is on the same page.

choymantisbxr 03-25-2005 10:54 AM

also, apparently kris boruff plays half life two, or some one of the same name does. his name pops us on this webpage http://www.planethalflife.com/commun.../walter28.shtm

choymantisbxr 03-25-2005 11:34 AM

I think by not doing this we are encouraging newcomers to read the entire thread, which they should be doing anyways, to make sure they don't post something that's been gone over already.

It's funny, I think I've seen that before though I never related it to TINP. Or maybe it was posted at the official TINP forums but was never thought to be related to the site... I can't remember.

choymantisbxr 03-25-2005 11:32 PM

what if there are multiple usernames and passwords for the different parts of the site? i dont recall this being brough up before, but cant there be multiple accounts?

If you're talking about the popups that have no spaces, with a lot of "chee" in them, that's Navajo. Read the whole thread, we've even posted a navajo alphabet.

Regarding the multiple accounts: Good thought. One that makes it all the harder for us, but intriguing to say the least.

Duey Oxburger 03-26-2005 05:21 AM

I dont understand what you mean about multiple usernames and passwords. There are multiple u/p. Alexander, Gordian; Edith, Head; those are different.

I do agree that a URL change may be needed. I thought about that a while ago, but would only rule that out if Audition gave us a user/pass prompt.

It seems you did a lot of point-and-click to find links. In Firefox you can click Tools>page info and that tells you all the images, links, and other things on that page. Or you can look at the source.

About the website, I do have the ending in mind. I have just been waiting to be able to do it properly. Just this morning I won a bid on a camera package that I also needed to finish the site. My old camera was running down and had a nasty shift to tanish brown saturation. The new camera is has better saturation and control.

I hope the wait hasn't bothered anyone too intensely. The ending will be worthwhile. There will be something after.
