Hmm. Must have missed it then. This game is frying my brain.

EDIT: clicking on the new login page for "the moth flew in the room when I di4d" gives you a link which shapes into "shovel the good snow", which seems to be a reference to opium, which comes from poppy seeds, which in "The Wizard of Oz" the people fall asleep in a bed of.

I tried typing in the scientific name for poppy in the boxes, but nope, that doesn't work.

www.thisisnotporn.com (main site)

move your mouse over the oven and click

http://www.thisisnotporn.com/not/not.htm

click Asia Awaits... and login with

Username: Alexander
Pass: Gordian
*case sensitive*

http://www.thisisnotporn.com/see/IJsselmeer.htm

the next page after the truck, dont bother solving it, who cares. Has a sign on a tree with some overgrowth. Read the words on the bottom right to login with:

Username: Edith
Pass: Head

You come to a site with some talking, again, who cares, and theres a buliding. Click on the window with two lights in it to arrive here:

http://www.thisisnotporn.com/DM/inthedarkness/SM.htm#

From here (A moth flew in the room when I di4d) there are four directions, Master and Betrayer, and Cat whatever, Dorothy and Scarecrow (which used to say PHOENIX), and FACE0F, What darkness do we live.

Cat whatever is the furthest light, login with:

Username: Kipper
Pass: May

That'll bring you to a road "THEY CAN'T ESCAPE THE STORM." Blah, theres a roll-over on the oncoming car which says, "A life half lived..." and some music that maybe someone will recognize, as well as the number "13" on the bottom right which is very small. Click on the liscence plate of the car to arrive here:

http://www.thisisnotporn.com/DM/inth...Perforatum.htm

This is the Hide Your Sorrows page. Hypericum Perforatum is St. Johns Wort. And guess what thats used for? Anti depression (see the connection to Hide your Sorrows?). Anyways, theres tons of letters here, but they only go up to "J." That makes 10 letters. In addition, the letters are repeated 10 or so times. Ctrl-a and paste to see this. The arrangement of the colors and the letters makes an image similar to a lighthouse. Upon examining the source I found this:

!-- wax --
!-- A one armed skeleton --
!-- I am the answer --
!-- find me --
!-- Not smart by half --

If you click the 2nd to last light on the Light/Moth page, you come to The Master and Betrayer login, use this:

username: Xerxes
pass: Demaratus

This brings you to the DONT STRAY FROM THE PATH page, which so far has the only worthwhile reward to getting this far, a cool picture of a tree with a face. There are some sounds similar to a highway next to a field with crows. There is some text in white which reads:

"How would you like it if someone came along and picked something off of you?"

Wizard of Oz, ooo wow :P

Clicking the left eye opens an apparently empty black page, which if you press ctrl-a on and copy your results you get:

HTATDSENETCURDTNRHEOSEOLFH

There are random letters here that when arranged say, "SHOVEL UP THAT GOOD SNOW." One can hold the mouse over these areas/letters and get sentences which are pieces of a paragraph that says:

"No bed. Narrow and cramped. Piles of books. It wasnt the old hotel either. there was barely enough room to walk. It was the sheepman's room. No lights. Walls and ceiling very, old, round, set with one candle in the middle. What ever became of him? Worm-eatten. Must've slept on the floor directly into the saucer. No bath. Boarded up from inside. Any indication. Wrapped in his sheep costume. No closet."

Sheepman is apparently something to note because holding your mouse on a location of the Moth/Light page nets this message:

"'Youbettergo' urged the sheepman, stay here or you'll freeze, but if youneedus were here".

The right eye takes you to a picture of a hallway with rollover poem on it:

"Like one who, on a lonely road,
Doth walk in fear and dread
And, having once turned round, walks on
And turns no more his head,
Because he knows a frightful fiend
Doth close behind him tread."

If you know your poetry this is an excerpt from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner." Move your mouse to the last line and hold it there, a message pops up quite fast saying "You are not of the path."

On the top of this page it says Philip K. Dicks fortune cookie which is "Deeds done in secret have a way of being found out." Someone said it was it was really Richard Nixon's fortune.

Click on the 3rd from last light, the Dorothy and Scarecrow one and login with:

username: Yuki
password: Gotanda

This brings you to the Robert Silvers page which is a picture of air power windmills from a car window. There are 5 near transparent circles comprised of two arrows. All of them lead to pictures of a fake head of a red haired man. In order from left to right the windows are named:

Piggy Piggy
We've Got Ventriloquists
We Are Connected (this has some relevance to the Moth/Light page)
Who Watches the Watchme...
a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy

From what I can tell these new windows have no leads to other sites. Clicking on the 3rd windmill from the left nets this message in a popup window:

unhssrvelette

Click on the date that the picture of the windmills was taken on and it brings you to the "1 2" site. There is some really annoying sounds here. It looks to be an electrical station or some sort of node. At the bottom of the page there is the text, "There was nothing I could do. He disappeared." And upon coming here, a popup window comes up with the text:

TdAaIeOtFbLhAeTeDaToOsEaRfIiEwTaEa

Clicking on any part of this image brings you back to the Robert Silvers page.

Something to think about, open ALL the sites with sound, and listen to them all at once, its really freaking wierd.

This is all the knowledge I have gathered or uncovered about this site. As far as I know, this site is a work in progress, so it is not meant to be solved yet. So screw the lazy bum that hasnt finished it.

much obliged

I sat in a room forever with refrence books in my library and internet. (internet proving once again more useful).

I would rather learn ninja techniques from sand ninja than work with thisisnotporn anymore. Or eat the finest marmalade with paddington.

Okay, I've got as far as the black page, with all the letters on it, and following Sixhundred23's help I went back to the moth/light bulb page, but I don't know what to do now. The passwords that sixhundred23 gave isn't working, and I definitely typed it in correctly. Any help?

I've spent all day trying to solve this...

I actually read "DANCE DANCE DANCE" so I got the kipper and may part pretty easy...

I got the rest part and so far I've gotten up to the jail cell thing all by myself...

I do not, however, get the redhead guy...

And there's also another link on the moth site.

There must be something we're missing...

But I've tried decoding the scrambled message with a cipher (A=Z, B=Y...), no such luck.

This guy must be either a.) really creative, b.) just got dumb luck...
