If John Doe is his real name, I am very doubtful.

Anyway, are you finding it easier to type with your hands than your feet.

[Black Wolf]

What the hell are you guys doing? This is a really weak april fools joke.

You are an admin in disguise and I claim my five pounds!

[jr2]

He has no posts according to his profile; I'm counting two so far...
EDIT: e-mail is "[email protected]"?

[Black Wolf]

The no posts are because he's not posted outside the pub forum.

[neo_hermes]

i wonder if batman has something to do with this.

[JGZinv]

Hmm... I liked that I love bees Xbox gag...

I'll look into this too. 

Edit - I really haven't done anything, but the first thing that comes to mind is
an IP address... there are enough characters for one there.

Or Google or another search, you know how you subtract things to be
searched for or excluded from the results? With the "-" tag...

This is a weak April Fools Day joke...

IF you haven't already noticed... why would a new forumite visit here first? This is almost a cult of a site; we may be popular but we're pretty much the only place (save GW) with activity about FS2. Anyways... it's a stupid joke, admins... even more stupid than Google TiSP Beta.

[Snail]

He is not an FS2 fan. He thinks HLP is a real estate company.

[Bob-san]

SO then why would he be here in the first place? I don't see any Reality forum around, and hard-light.net doesn't say anything about Reality either.

Let's flame him until he talks !!!!

EDIT:

And without spaces
-......--.-..-.....-.---...--.---.-..-...--.---

try using this

I'm trying to decipher that now. I'll post updates.

the first word is likely 'the' (possibly)
-..... (the)    .--.-..-.....-.---...--.---.-..-...--.---

possible second word:

-..... (the)   .--.-..-... (rents)  ..-.---...--.---.-..-...--.---

The rents too high?

That doesn't work...

It doesn't have to be international morse code... it could be the older American style.

I made it into the American version... came out with this... but haven't figured a translation (if any)
yet.

See here for American Morse... http://home.clara.net/rod.beavon/morse.htm
Also... I can't seem to confirm it, but wasn't there an episode title of BSG written in morse?
That's got me wondering if there's a cheat code or something...


Also - I found a "s"oftware "o"f "s"weden page with an old old BSG game...

But it may very well be unrelated to this.

Screw it this is boring and hurts my head.

Dear HLP Members:

Sorry, I couldn't get back to this site because my Internet connection went down.  I guess the tubes got clogged.  I'm glad they got some Draino through there. 

Thanks for the welcome laser though!  So I take it that this isn't a real estate site then?  I've done some looking around, and you guys are making a game right?  I'll have to check it out.

And I see that my P.S. is generating some curiosity too.

Sincerely,
JohnDoe

I bet that that were the joke. All the admins and mods are gonna be like:

"HaHahA!!! you played around with that gibberish for HOURS and wasted your TIME!!! haha!!! FOOLS!!!!! That code didn't mean ANYTHING!!!! hahah!!!"

 But not me, I'm smart!! HAHA!! I WIN AGAIN, ADMINS!!!!

[Tyrian]

JGZinv, based on the link you gave, I think it's international Morse Code.  It would be more well known, plus old US Morse doesn't use dashes.  JohnDoe's code does.

Fragrag, you might have something there...You gave me an idea too.  If you don't mind, I'd like to take what you did and try something.

[Nuclear1]

I tried breaking it and only got as far as "I AM" (taken from ...--- which originally meant "SO")  Nothing else after that though.

[redsniper]

I bet it'll say "I am Sandwich"

Dear HLP Members:

I didn't think joining this website would cause this much excitement!  You must really want to make sure that all your members feel welcome.  I've looked at the thing called the "SCP" and that looks neat.  You guys are really artistic.  How much do you get paid to do this?

I've found out how to "download" things, so I'm getting it now.  It takes so long though...I'm sure it'll be worth it though.

Sincerely,
JohnDoe
