: I think that the hidden text from ''Huck Finn'' and ''Slaughterhouse-Five'', along with every Year Zero related website and Year Zero itself, are all supposed to be sent back from the future. I mean, Eva claims to have sent music from someone who's "alive and fucking kicking." Could this be Trent? And although the literary passages hold some vague relevance to the Year Zero theme, they don't have the glaringly obvious Sci-Fi Horror punch that most of the other content has. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that (in the fictional universe of Year Zero) everything we've been looking at was sent back through time by these "pilgrims." That might also serve to account for the grainy, scrambled background images and all the reflected text. Just a thought. [[User:Wesker|Wesker]]
As i read the conversation when asked what the key text is banned books are the answer. supposing that the information had to be encrypted to be sent back this could explain why everything sent by the pilgrims includes fragments of key text whitch have "bled" onto the page. however it is not totally out of the question that what was/is encrypted is not what we see i.e. the decryption using the key text has not yet been done. it seems very strange that some form of decryption was done in transit. I've played around trying to use standard types of book cyphers on the text on the pages but most of the results seem to turn out as amusing giberish although this might be because it's hard for me to define exactly where a key text begins and ends. anyone else played with this?

== tHE HOUR IS AT HAND ==
There is a ghost of the text behind the actual text in the chat window. The thing is, after Miguel asks what the key text is, some of it stops reflecting what was actually typed, and starts saying "w8ting, w8ting 4 what?" and "thE HOUR IS AT HAND" respectively. Also, the only time anything is actually typed by Carolina is when Eva tell her to "flood it" (I put it in quotation marks, because I'm unsure what it means) about 5 minutes in. She types what her bug has been putting up.
"flood it" must refer to the data being sent as in push as much as you can through the pipe. also "thE HOUR IS AT HAND" and "w8ting, w8ting 4 what?" remind me of the way irc topics or auto messages intrude into conversation [[User:Ylbissop|ylbissop]] 20:02, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
== Mallet(t) Rings ==
Perhaps the numbers serve a double purpose -- a categorization system created in "real life" for the individuals who are creating the Year Zero story, and a system utilized in the Year Zero world by the Solutions Backwards Initiative. Different numbers could correspond to different pieces of data, different messages, where they were sent to in the past, et cetera. This makes more sense to me as far as mining banned books and songs. It seems that the numbers are there to denote items sent from the Solutions Backwards Initiative.

we do also know that the numbers are mirrored on exibit 24 perhaps the pilgrams are sending data relevent to bom's exibit 24 [[User:Ylbissop|ylbissop]] 20:02, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
== The "distortion" in the background ==
Might be worth noting (as further proof to the future websites being sent back theory) that in the Halo 2 ARG, I Love Bees the same distortion occured on its webpages. Given that it's supposedly the same people making both ARG's (42 Entertainment) wouldnt this back up the theory? [[User:Phillowe88|Phillowe88]] 12:19, 6 April 2007 (PDT)
a dual purpose of the distortion is to make the pages immediately identifiable as part of the YZ experience. [[User:Ylbissop|ylbissop]] 20:02, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
== Some theories ==
::Knowing a wee bit about quantum computing (I'm a comp-sci student going into my 4th year, most of my classes touch on stuff currently being researched), I can understand the concept behind it a bit. It's plausable they sent it all in at the same time, but the streams are being recieved at different times in -15. Time travel isn't a linear concept, so something sent all at the same time can come out at different times. --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 13:34, 23 April 2007 (PDT)
A tarpit is a service on a server that delays incoming connections for as long as possible this way attacks/traces by bom would be less effective. [[User:Ylbissop|ylbissop]] 20:02, 7 May 2007 (PDT)
== Possibility ==
:Thats my bad. But if you look at the scrambled words in the background images that create the words from banned text that we've found. I think the same can be done with the pieces of images that are back there in the same way. I think theres even more there that were not seeing. Right now I'm attempting it on the SBI un-passworded site. Another is here http://anotherversionofthetruth.com/opal.htm at the bottom of the page a large purple image at the bottom matches some other things on the site. When I get something substantial I'll post it for sure but I just wanted to let everyone know so they can try it as well. [[User:Justinoverdorf|Justinoverdorf]] 20:14, 30 April 2007 (PDT)
:Yea ok that's alot of pictures and alot of junk, question is how do yu tell the picture parts from the junk? Also alot of it looks alot like the writing and there really arnt pictures just alot of....static? (I can't really think of anything else to call all the "glitchs" so static sounds fine)What if all the back grounds are just static from traviling back? I'm not sure if you find something good if not well idk. my vote is that the static is the bleed referred to in the irc conversation we have identified the key text it's unlikly in my opinion that anything else would be there what would be the justification for anything else being there? [[User:Ylbissop|ylbissop]] 20:Well someone found 02, 7 May 2007 (PDT) :::The only real justification would be more incite into the world of YZ. There are still may things that are expressed illegally such as art.[[User:Justinoverdorf|Justinoverdorf]] 15:45, 10 May 2007 (PDT) == New Theory on Dates and Time Travel == Sure, I know, it's 2 years after the background is made up of multipule imagesYZ craze, but I'm still obsessed and still thinking. The easiest one thing to do that has puzzled me for so long are the date discrepancies on the AVOTT forums, being a shadowed image of 2/4/0000 and 2/10/0000 for the postings. My ultra-novice theory is look at thus: the indvidual pagespilgrims sent back all of this information as a warning for what is to come. It was heard, and download used properly for preventative measures. And yet, the end still came, just six days earlier/later. Thus sending the images themselves message that we can try all we want, and overlay themwe can be idealistic, trying to prevent this mess. Your right that there is ..but we're destined for it. We were already too late in 2007. Now, I'm not quantum physics whiz (just a poor lil social worker), so I can't really wrap my brain around some "static" if you willof the theories behind the pilgrims' technology. However, I understand the basic principle of, send something in the past, but look closer it easy to tell which is whichaffects the future, thus potentially erasing the future, and so on and so forth. It only makes sense that Maybe I'm taking this whole thing too literally, but if the banned book references are scrambled thoughout pilgrims' efforts had *actually* worked, the page then why people of 2007 wouldn't the images be the samegetting any of that information. But, they are. Don It't forget to sign your post with 4 ~s just +/- 6 days. Or I's m totally off-base and just bored at work. Anyway, the thought of this greatly excited me.
