What we know so far (1day to go)

Thank you all for posting and I think we are close to finding out the answer as to what the hell Eon8.com is all about. The following was posted by a blogger called CERBERUS and I believe that this person is directly linked to Eon8.com or else is very cocky!! What do you think??

>>You are correct, this is not a terrorist act, nor is it a hoax.<<
>>It is not affiliated with video games or movies.<<
>>Think on what the map signifies<<
>>Think on what the time and date represents from the history of this country.<<
>>Use your head, everything is part of the_[LF P$X419<<

I have found that ES-12 when changed from hexidecimal coding reads as Not a multople which I believe to be a default for if the translator I used doesn't or can't translate. If anyone has any ideas on the rest of it such as what the 1st July signifies in history (American I presume) then please post as soon as possible - I really want to figure this out before the countdown ends and I can't do it by myself - my knowledge of computers and American history is shaky to say the least [mainly because I'm from England!! :) ]

What is this weird and paranoia inducing website?

So today I found a website www.eon8.com that was on the board it was posted proclaimed "We are all going to die - SERIOUSLY!"

Do I believe this? Hell I don't know! I'm know for being paranoid and a general worrier usually so why should this be so different? After working for a forward thinnking arts organisation and being an avid online gamer I am familiar with the idea of ARG's (Alternate Reality Game's).

I propose that this blog be used to try and come up with an explanation as to what this website is all about. As of now the countdown is at 4 and a bit days.

In this big wide world of the web there has to be someone out there with the smarts to hack into this site and find out what's going on. I myself am now toying with the idea of taking up a course that specifically deals with web coding etc so I can learn how to hack into sites such as this!! (Can you tell this is frustrating me!!)

What worries me mostly is that there is not much speculation about this site. Does that mean that it really is nothing to worry about and is just a publicity stunt or ARG? or does it mean something more sinister like someone is trying to hush people up?
Theories include the ridiculous to the plausible and I am most inclined to believe that the map, being Frapper style, is linked to the IP addresses when the site gets a hit.

I leave this to you all then - help me find out whats going on before the countdown reaches 0:00. Let's beat these unhackable hackers at their own game.

The challenge is in your hands...
