Thanks Seth! Great work. Is that Simon's original board?

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Seth. I'm so happy we won't be seeing those dots again.

Dashcat and I were talking the other night that lines from deep about the ancient and old path plus the legend of the future place where all shall speak and all shall see, sounded like ATS, but we didn't what to look for to find the old boards.

Every time you refresh ring.php or ringz.php it gives you a randome number.

How does this tie in? Here's a list of numbers I got from ringz.php:

Try converting the numbers to binary... Is that worth a look?

[edit on 13-8-2004 by TheHeggy]

Well here's the deal, everytime you refresh the FTR page it will give you a different number. The dot links don't seem to matter. You can click the same one and get a different number each time. So I was going to try and refresh until I got a repeat in number strings. Could be a long night ahead.

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

Add my list to yours.... That many less refreshes. I'm off to bed.

I was obviously mistaken about there not being different number strings for ring.php and ringz.php But it is true that each time you refresh either one you get a new set of numbers.

BTW, What I want to know is how you found that particular post. It's not like it was floating on top of the list.. And the search engine doesn't function so well even if you know exactly what member you're looking for.
