I found this site listed in another forum that I'm a part of... I was just wondering what eveyrone thinks about it. It's quite the cheap trick to play on the world.... sounds like a hoax currently to me. Has anyone heard of this other than myself?

So did you ever have that love trist with your cousin?

I immediately took the camera to my darkroom. I had to pry the back open with a screwdriver as the plastic section of the outer casing had melted then solidified over the cover. Most of the film was badly damaged, parts of it having disintegrated due to extreme heat. I developed the strips of film that were salvageable. Nearly all of the negatives were color distorted. The images on the film sent chills down my spine.

Camera film cannot be exposed to light, ANY LIGHT. In effect he is saying he took the camera into a room with zero light, pryied the back off the camera with a screwdriver, extracted film fragments, and developed each section of film while remaining in a room with absolutely no light of any kind. (Film can be printed in red light, but not negatives) Do you know how hard it would be to extract film from a damaged camera, let alone in a room with no light? Close your eyes and try to pry something open with a screwdriver. Then you have the additional problem of developing the film, how do you expose the film the correct amount of time when you can't see a timer of any kind and you are developing fragments? Keep your hands in the chemicals all the time?
 
I began doing research on the net, looking for clues, desperately trying to find anything that could explain the images in the photos. I used key words in the search engine - words that exactly described the images. That's when all hell broke lose. After a few minutes the cursor suddenly started moving by itself, followed by a 'whirring' noise from the hard-disk. I froze with anticipation and by the time I thought to unplug the phone line it had stopped. I had never experienced anything like this before, but I'd been told by a friend that if the cursor ever moved by itself and there was a 'whirring' from the hard-drive, they were the sure signs that indicated someone was hacking into my computer. I picked up the handset to phone my friend. I wanted to tell him what had just happened. My eyes bugged with surprise as I heard a 'clicking' sound. Someone was tapping my phone. My gut feeling told me to get the hell out of the house.

I've been in the dark room, I had to do photography stuff because I'm a digital animation major, it's a requirement at my school. It's not as hard as it sounds, esspecially if you've been doing it for a while... the part that confuses me is he said that it looked like the camera was dropped... and had an explosion within or near it.... and this didn't expose the film to light? sounds like a pretty indestructable camera, I know what my next camera will be, I'm a klutz, I constantly drop stuff.

I was thinking this too. I still have trouble loading film in my ZX50 that I've had for 6 years in complete darkness. No way I could dismantle a mangled and damaged camera that I've never used in complete darkness.

So the men in black are coming after him, his phone's being tapped, and the best way to get them off your trail is to open a website. Obvious BS, and not even funny.

Pwned, Highly Technical style.

 
Not to mention 'them' taking over his mouse pointer... the whole thing sounds like a load of crap, and the site is ugly to boot. 😉
 
I still think that the Darkroom story is legit... I think it would be quite easy to take apart a camera with a screwdriver, it's not like he's doing it with his hands, all you have to do is start jabbing at crevices with that screwdriver and you're bound to open it up, even if you hadn't used the camera before.

We had to extract the film from a camera in no light. It was one of the tests we had to do for photography class. She gave us a camera we had never seen before in a room with NO light. None. You had to work with a friend to get the camera open, unroll the film, turn it into negatives, then process the photos in a certain amount of time. It wasn't so easy, but it isn't as hard as you would think - especially if you have some idea of what to do with cameras. Obviously, I have never worked with a camera that was burnt, etc. but I can imagine it would be possible.

But this story, I do not beleive. This is the internet after all... hard to beleive something you just read on a website that you have never heard of before.

Is there a significance to 03/08 ? Is that a famous day? Or did he just pick that day to get his "research done"

Oh come on. All cameras are fairly consistent in opening and getting the film out; that's easy. Actually dismantling the camera without being able to see it? Yeah right. I'd like to see you do that. I'm sure I could get the film out of any camera in the dark, out of the cartridge, onto a reel and into a canister pretty easily.
I doubt I could easily get the film out of a mangled camera having to use tools....

I've also developed film and it's one thing to open a fully fuctioning camera in the dark. It's another completely to pry an apparently smashed and burned camera open with a screwdriver open. The pictures of the camera indicate this is a METAL body camera, the body is DEFORMED. Deformed metal that is meant to be opened on clean hinges often requires tremendous force to open. I have this mental image of stabbing myself in the leg or hand with a screwdriver in the dark because I can't see what I'm prying or how stable it is while I'm puting 20lbs of force into prying.

Then consider the fact that the film is in pieces, no loading this stuff into a reel and canister and turning the lights on and developing the film. To develop negative fragments like this you would have to have tubs of solution out, put each piece of negative in and develop them and then neutralize them and wash them all in the dark. Keeping mind that developing time is pretty precise and even 10 seconds one way or the other can alter the film I then have a mental image of sitting there with my bleeding hand (with a screwdriver sized hole in it) in a tray of developing solution and counting out loud to make sure I develop each fragment the correct amount of time.
 
I think if I had information so spectacular that hordes of people were trying to hunt me down, I'd post it now rather than announcing "You have four more months to find me before I spill my guts."
 
if this was real it wouldn't still be online, the server admistrator would probably have died in a plane crash or some other "accident" and the servers room "accidently" burned down by an electrical fire
