      It's an ARG and the mods are more than likely aware of what is going on. Earlier a mod had made a comment about removing their posts or banning them if they didn't come clean. That post was removed; I guess someone didn't get the memo.
      
      The only question is, with all of these clues, what game is it? I'm betting on something science fiction related involving a computer system of some kind. Portal, Deus Ex, etc. They aren't posting gibberish for the shit of it. There's a wealth of clues hidden I am willing to bet and honestly, I find it highly intriguing.
      
      I only wish I knew how to communicate with it.
