Timeline, Story so far
It begins
May 6
Bootlegged Super-8 teaser trailers are uploaded to Youtube (link)
- Whether it's "official" or not isn't known, however various teaser trailer bootlegs shown before Iron Man 2 have been uploaded to Youtube since May 6
Film reel at end of teaser leads to Scariestthingieversaw.com (link)
- After screen-capturing the frames showing a standard trailing end of a film roll, the words: "scariest thing I ever saw" were discovered, leading to the first viral website.
- This website displays a desktop and console, eventually leading the user to a countdown in the form of a file being downloaded very slowly (about 1 byte every 5 seconds). The full file is estimated to complete its download by 11pm Eastern, May 13th.
May 7
Scariestthingieversaw.com sever glitch.
- A glitch is discovered in the countdown found on Scariestthingieversaw.com. The glitched caused the rate at which the File List B4 is accessed through the PDP-11 Simulator. Later that day, an update was made to the website and periodic server syncs are conducted in an attempt to keep everyone on the same transfer rate.
