Easter egg hunt 2005

[idleuser]

fugger is really putting my searchering skillz to the max!!

[Jayfaas]

couldnt they just give one more clue? one decent enough to give us a fighting chance!

[wdrzal]

i wasnt on had to go eat and i watch a couple movies then came back and spent a LOT of time looking im starting to think fugger is punishing us :p:

I'm not looking its the clues that are interisting, if they are clues, said "don't waste time looking in random posts" also said "looked"

[wdrzal]

did anybody look at members list,could it be hide there,
avatar,just A IDEA

[Rabbi_NZ]

Find the eggs and win the prizes. First person to link the thread wins.

OK, I linked to this thread from another thread HERE (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=782831#post782831)

Do I win?

[erorr404]

hmm nice try rabbi, just might work. very clever :).

EDIT: on the other hand, they said the thread wasnt by FUGGER.

[idleuser]

i searched and searched... i don't think the search engine will do any good -_-

[bvchurch]

I think I have it figured out.

He has 2 different threads, both are the same topic, and lead to the same place.

EDIT: I did some more research, i think i am wrong. Even the first part of the hyperlink says show thread i take it p=post and t= thread.

[wdrzal]

i searched and searched... i don't think the search engine will do any good -_-
i'M NEW ,HOW CAN A SEARCH ENGINE FIND A PICTURE

[chunkylover77]

I think Rabbi has it. Pretty clever if that's it.

[lizardmech]

I heard that its in a parallel universe.

[stealth17]

I think Rabbi has it. Pretty clever if that's it.

nah

The thread does not have the word Easter or Egg in the title.

[idleuser]

NM!!

[freecableguy]

bvchurch....I was working on that hours ago. Just two different ways to address the same thread. Nothing special there.

[stealth17]

NM!!

no....one is a link to the thread, the other is a link to post #1 in the thread...

The thread does not have the word Easter or Egg in the title.

[bvchurch]

Dang it. I had it posted in another thread. and on a different site.

Though I think somebody else tried this earlier. Linked both the pic and the thread, so if Rabbi turns out to be right ,well I would say the other person should have as well.

[idleuser]

need more clues this is a needle in a hay stack i'm telling you...

[Skip]

p_1 tried what rabbi tried. it was an I win title.

[bachus_anonym]

What are you talking about, guys... This is not a rocket science!

Somewhere on XS forums there is thread. In the first post of this thread they placed picture of mentioned eggs. Words "eggs" and "Easter" are not used in that thread.Once someone finds THAT thread, he needs to post a link of that thread in here...

I don't think it's difficult to understand it...

[Nubius]

except for dude lost in the hot chicks thread... wonder if he's still there.... Theres no eggs! Lots of jugs....just not eggs :D

There aren't that many pics in there that you don't have to click on though...I'm going by that the eggs will be plainly visible like in the first post....hell I might be looking at it too literally in that sense.

[CaTalyst.X]

LOL i doubt it :D I think they actually his the eggs.

-CaT

[idleuser]

the easter bunny ate it >_<

[Rabbi_NZ]

p_1 tried what rabbi tried. it was an I win title.
no he didnt

[bvchurch]

no he didnt


Well there is no way to tell now. The admins have deleted some of the dumb pages.


And I do think somebody else tried this.

[Nubius]

I keep reading fuggers 'clues' and I use the term loosely lol, OVER AND OVER AND OVER, and now I'm feeling like the guy from 'A beautiful mind'.....the letters are forming secret messages to me....none of them lead me to the egg, but I believe we are all being watched through the SHIFT key on your keyboard

[potkit]

i searched in every first post in every first page of every forum and sub forum and not founded the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing eggs :mad:

[trakslacker]

i thought everyone knew that their shift key watched them? ;)

[cadaveca]

i searched in every first post in every first page of every forum and sub forum and not founded the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing eggs :mad:


i did too.

can you say :


:horse:

what a way to kill a sunday night.

[idleuser]

i gave up until I get a 2nd clue it's just not worth it... i think i just lost a few thounsand brain cells.

[erorr404]

i did too.

can you say :


:horse:
what the hell, then there must be some kind of trick.... otherwise that should theoretically work and he would have found it, RIGHT ADMINS?

[Nubius]

No because according to last years, fugger picked out a thread from like 2002....which means you might have to go pages back :(

[gkiing]

they never said it was on the first page. I've been looking for an hour or so ... no luck

[AKURA]

could this be it...........Fugger keeps mentioning the "first post". lolz.....

ARGH!!! Did you read any of the posts after the first one on this thread??? That's been tried NUMEROUS times already!

[idleuser]

omg akura.. NO no and NO! that has been posted for the 9th time.

[Reznik Akime]

Been done, buddy.

[Fzero]

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=782425&postcount=1 i think i got it maybe not but i really think i may have who knows

[MUCHO]

I give up.

:slap:

[erorr404]

No because according to last years, fugger picked out a thread from like 2002....which means you might have to go pages back :(
ahh right. i didn't notice he said first page...
but if you go to every first post in every thread on this forum.. then you should theoretically find it.

[cadaveca]

No because according to last years, fugger picked out a thread from like 2002....which means you might have to go pages back :(


dude...i went to every page or thread that was not "generic". I also checked all threads with fugger, dfi, ocz, lanparty, egg, 3200vx...and quite a few others. Now if i missed it, i missed it, but darn it, i bloddy well LOOKED. :mad: :confused:

i made it simple...go to a page in a heading, open a new windows for every thread listed, check each one, check the next page under the heading. :stick: i coulda missed it, but if i did, it was in a thread that did not have the aforementioned words, or the search engine is broken.

[NeGe0]

It's not in this thread....it's somewhere else in the forums...
for everyone posting a link to this thread.

[Nubius]

dude...i went to every page or thread that was not "generic". I also checked all threads with fugger, dfi, ocz, lanparty, egg, 3200vx...and quite a few others. Now if i missed it, i missed it, but darn it, i bloddy well LOOKED. Yeah I think everyones tried those search terms. Chances are it'd sooner be under something like MSI MOTHERBOARDS! than it would be under DFI. Who knows how many pages/years you may have to go back

This is impossible without some other kind of clue

[Poki]

Well i think i found the eggs and realize why we have recognized them

[erorr404]

just wondering if anyone could confirm something...

the forums go back only about one year, right?

for example, the Xtreme Bandwith forums last post is dated 12-21-2004 for me. is it for all of you guys. can anyone confirm?

[cadaveca]

i looked in NF4 threads too. I hope someone finds it, but i'm content to stop now.

proly shunk the pic real small, and that's why i missed it. i seriously looked since fugger first posted, and only stopped about 15 minutes ago. even with the slowdowns...i figure i opened at least 15 threads every minute...and do you see me posting a link to the eggs?

i hope they post another hint, because that should ring a bell with ONE of the thread s i looked at.

maybe i'll start over, and post in each thread i look in...then you know i looked everywhere. LoL.

[idleuser]

lol cadaveca... yeah i too looked in every thread as you... didnt find anything... did a search with *.jpg .jpg, eggs, eggs eggs eggs, egg egg egg, egg egg, bunnies, bunny, easter sunday, sunda easter... u name it I searched it.. didn't find anything

[Nubius]

it's not going to be anything like that though. Notice on last years he put 'Hap py eas ter' and even the word 'con test' specifically so you couldn't search those words

I've tried e aster , ea, ster, e a s t e r , nothin doin

[idleuser]

we need more clues!

[Nubius]

Yup....people have literally gone through every post and sub post on the first page of, I mean that's ridiculous if you then have to go to the previous pages...that's thousands upon thousands. They went way harder this year :(

I just don't think anyone can find it based off of 'Its not random, its really easy' and find it from a clue ringing in their head. We definitely need more unless someone stumbles upon it on dumb luck

[Ackbar]

just wondering if anyone could confirm something...

No, the forum goes back to around 2001 or so.

[potkit]

do you configure the display options to "From the: beginning"?

[craig588]

The speed seems to have picked up, now would be a good time for some searching if you were so inclined.

[davidw8818]

so annoying... :stick:

I'm just curious where it is, so I keep reading the thread, but it seems that I can't even do that anymore since people keep posting stupid posts without even bothering to read the second or third post!

[AKURA]

Now let me try one more time...... :D

[Nubius]

Whoa.....did this thing just cut down for everyone else too? I can only see one post at a time, and the page selection isn't there...all the posts are in clickable links at the top with a slidebar

[NeGe0]

why are all the posts in a little box now?

[sabrewolf732]

fine for me. Butr that :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing egg is pissing me off. :slap:

edit: woah wtf.

[Nubius]

why are all the posts in a little box now? I was wondering the same thing. I don't like it :(

[Fzero]

for every one who is haveing issues just click at the top of the thread display mode and click linear

You guys clicked on davidw's post and that put it into "Threaded" mode since that's how his link was.

[Fzero]

glad it worked :) im going to bed now hope when i wake up in the morning there will be better clues

[potkit]

damn i just searched in every first post in last thread on every forum and...





no luck :(

man i'm so tired... well the prize won´t be for me :'(

[dubya01]

.hype.'

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :( :slap: :slap:

[erorr404]

this thread seems dead..
just want to let everyone know im still looking (have been looking nonstop for the past few hours), so please dont close down the competition or give us anymore hints or anything :)

[SewerSide]

Searched everywhere, old posts, new posts, random posts.
Didnt find it :(
I've been looking since fugger posted, too tired to keep looking.
I either need another clue or a life :slap:

[Skip]

thats weird that that thread thing happened to everyone when it did, because that has to be nearly the same exact time i did it to my own?.... maybe its just a coincidence? but i changed it to i could see the first post only, and then everyone starts complaining about it? that is weird.

[erorr404]

it never happened to me

[Reznik Akime]

Me neither.

[Reznik Akime]

C'mon Fugger. Give us nightowlers another hint. Ill share the prize with ya. :D

[spruce]

he's watching us as we speak ;)

[Reznik Akime]

Exactly why I posted. :D

I really cant think of what not-generic means. Ive looked through all the important threads and the threds with alot of feedback in em, still nothing. Even looked in the calendar under today (Yesterday now) under easter and it didnt turn up anything.

They did a damned good job at hiding it from google. I used all the friggin dorks I could think of and not a single thing. =/

I can officially say that Googling it with some dorks aint gonna work.

[FUGGER]

Here is a big hint.

This is xtremesystems.org is it not? Search for nothing less.

[Reznik Akime]

Thats curel man.. A delemma.

[Nubius]

The Riddles!! They Make My Brain Hurt.

[cadaveca]

what's worse is the edit he made...cause neither have helped. And yes, still looking.

[Reznik Akime]

I know im close.. I know its under my nose.. But.. Damn.

[erorr404]

can you give us a hint about it's location?

for example,
it was posted after 5/15/03
or
it is in the Xtreme 3D Team section

[Nubius]

Man I thought I had it for sure with that top hint. I went to 3 places I thought would definitly have it and NO EGGS! It's almost depressing lol

[Reznik Akime]

Indeed.. *Consults his list* ><

[Reznik Akime]

Its got to be something im overlooking..

[Nubius]

Its got to be something im overlooking.. I know, I'm thinking the same thing, I'm checking out the most xtreme systems and no eggs!

[Always]

What happens if you're not in the US? You have to pay the extra shipping costs??

[Nubius]

as far as I know they are going to ship it anywhere in the world. :D

[FUGGER]

What happens if you're not in the US? You have to pay the extra shipping costs??

nope, I will ship anywhere. If your country decides to tax your gift it is up to you.

[Reznik Akime]

That last clue taunts me so..

On a brighter side, I had a question that was answered. These forums do indeed have a main website.

[Nubius]

lol, yeah I have my link to the main site to catch what the days news is ;)

Buuuut yeah that hint taunts me too. I thought I had it with that one....nothing doin :(

technically I won't even be able to use that motherboard lol....but hell I still want it, one less thing I gotta buy when I do get an AMD64 chip

[Always]

What can be more xtreme than 7,2 on intel, new WR on AMD FX-55, or the Dallas Overclocking competition?? Also tried new 05 WR but no eggs.

[Nubius]

What can be more xtreme than 7,2 on intel, new WR on AMD FX-55, or the Dallas Overclocking competition?? Also tried new 05 WR but no eggs. Haha, I already went through those when I first saw his hint. Also went to the DDR1 WR

Whats more extreme than that you say? Well hell I'd like to know that too :stick:

[Reznik Akime]

This board is indeed choice for a damned fine upgrade... although I too cannot use any of the parts yet. Not even the ram. Thank Dell for the psu and the Rimm.

[Nubius]

Damnit! I need to find it in the next 25 mins, I got CSI: Miami to catch at 3 :p:

[Always]

Hey Fugger:

It has to be good to see everyone go mad about a motherboard and two sticks of ram just because they are giveaway hardware, specially when you are still the only one that knows where the prize is.

[Reznik Akime]

Im about to take a short hatius here myself so I dont get gritched at about pulling yet again an all nighter. Almost 5Am here and I dont plan on sleeping.

[Nubius]

The sad thing is, I think I'm gonna have to kill someone if it winds up being in a thread I went through.

It has to be good to see everyone go mad about a motherboard and two sticks of ram just because they are giveaway hardware, specially when you are still the only one that knows where the prize is. Well atleast he knows he's done a good job of hiding it...that's like what...damn near $500 worth of hardware shipped anywhere in the world? Suppose it wouldn't be worth it if you could find it within 5 mins

[Reznik Akime]

That hint he gave.. I dorked that sucker till no end and nothing. For me it didnt really seem to help since I pretty much just relooked over everything. Although nothing less.. Either he worded that wrong or im still forgetting to add something.

[a5h]

man i been lookin for like 2 hours ...arghh

[Nubius]

well....people are looking into his sentences and text for clues...he could be anticipating that and he's just talking literally and not meant for the text to be taken as clues, just the actual sentence.....of course he's reading this hypothesis and loving that we gotta theorize his one sentence lol for CLUES TO THE POT OF GOLD

EDIT: man i been lookin for like 2 hours ...arghh Psht I've been at this for like a total of 5+ not straight though. About 3 and a half ours straight and then the remaining in the last bit.

[Always]

I hope he hasn't been too good at hidding it and hasn't done some photoshop work with some existing images, forcing us to look acuratelly.

[Nubius]

wouldn't doubt it honestly. Most have been looking for that exact image. It's probably a tiny piece of a sig or something lol

[Always]

That would rule out any kind of google image search

[Nubius]

Yup otherwise eggs.jpg woulda been located already.....well sheeeit I don't know what to do

[Reznik Akime]

He should fell damned proud of himself. Looked for actual scentences.. Bah. Nothin.

Congrads Fugger. Ive never been this intwined into a search such as this.

And dont bother with google, im telling ya. I cleaned google out. Used all sorts of them dorks to get -very- precise results. I was only able to find the ones from years past. Images dont even hardly come up for squat.

I tried messing around with shreds of the attachment url posted in this thread, I cant even get that in google. Its very well hidden.. More than likely in plain site and ive overlooked it over a thousand times.

[Always]

I think we three are the only geeks looking for it, the rest have already found out but are keeping the secret.

When someone finds it our faces will look like this:

:am:

[Wh1t3w0lf]

Make that four!!!

[Nubius]

lol as of right now that's a good possibility. I keep hitting refresh on my moms comp while I search for the eggs on mine :D

I never win shyte, doubt I'll find it....it's depressing I tells ya!

[idleuser]

let see how long until someone stumples across it... it'll be by random choice I bet.

[cold_ice]

I think we three are the only geeks looking for itWrong :p:
Searched for an hour

[conrad.maranan]

Even the moderators are looking for those darn eggs. :p:

[Reznik Akime]

Man, I dont think ive ever won a damned thing in my life. Its always like when im about to discover, someone was that one inch ahead of me always. Its why I dont bother with these things anymore.. but.. its like crack.. Gah! ><

[erorr404]

and ive been searching for 5 hours straight now, not counting the other hours ive been searching since it was posted but that was with breaks.

[craig588]

I'm casually looking. I have a window open in the background on a computer as I play on the Playstation.

[Nubius]

Bah well goodluck guys. I'm off to watch CSI: Miami then bed

I hope theres no winner when I wake up though haha

[Reznik Akime]

Ive kinda been searching since its been posted. I tried comming here when they were updating and got slapped with a message that they were prepping the site for the contest. Came back a bit later and piddled around with it then left. Came back a few hours again expecting someone to have already won.. Discovered wrong, now im trying to discover where the hell its at.. ><

[Always]

I'm just too close....my preeeeciousss it's mine Fugger, miiiiine, give it back to me, my preeeeeciuos.

BTW: What did he mean too luck no further tha Xtremesystems.org??

[pancake]

i think i may go mad if i search anymore... i think hes yanking are crank with that clue.. ive tried anagrams of it aswell but no luck

[Reznik Akime]

Its somewhere here on this site I assume, but I know it has to be more than that.

Anyway, im out for a bit. Be back in a few hrs.

[Always]

Fugger could just be a good boy and post another clue, could he?

There isn't any way to track post editing isn't there?

[potkit]

damn i have searching about 7 hours... my head hurts...

btw what is more xtreme than LN2? o.0

[erorr404]

no! don't post anymore clues!

[CHEMICAL]

fugger what is the thread about which the image is posted in???hints please

[Always]

Maybe we are looking for the wrong side of the word xtremesystem. We're all searching for top notch systems... maybe that's not the way to go.

[idleuser]

lol ig ot class in 5 hours screw this i need my sleep good luck to you all

[pancake]

hhhmmmm ive found a strange thread. fugger have you edited another thread giving a clue to were it is or am i wasting my time pursuing a thread ive found

[conrad.maranan]

:coffee:

[FUGGER]

The eggs are in the first post of a thread, I did not add any text.

Xtreme

[Always]

Yes there are more than 100000 threads...

[erorr404]

ic.. so just the image

[potkit]

damn i have to go bed... I expect that when I awake, there be a winner

good luck

[nebuchanezzar]

Nobodies found the huevos yet :stick: . DAAYYYNNNM, FUGGER was sneaky huh...well I expect someone to have those eggs by the time I get home from work tonight in 12 1/2 hours...Good luck fellas :D

edit: Just curious as to how you can look farther back and still see the pictures...I'velooked at archives before but they didn't have pictures...just trying to be helpful..somebody put this to rest or I'm gonna end up wasting my evening trying to find those needles....I mean eggs in a haystack :p:

[conrad.maranan]

G'nite, everyone...and good luck.

[Myth]

Damn i'm close to giving up.. and numb i my right arm from browsing through posts...

Any clues ?

What exacly is random posts ?

[Smurfy]

:) pshh recon youve made it 2 hard;P
But then i guess if it was easy it would have been solved before i even woke up

[erorr404]

any tips on what i can do to not fall asleep? i am falling alseep and i have a headache :(.

[Always]

Be in Spainn just 2PM XD

[Reznik Akime]

I come back with a plate of waffles, no change. Hmm..

[erorr404]

please give us hints about its location here on the boards

[lizardmech]

I just spent ages searching for: new users with 1 post and new threads with 0 or 1 replies but I found nothing. :(

[erorr404]

it doesn't have to be new.. it can be edited :(.
i heard that in last years contest it was 2 years old.

[BigPanda]

lol no one found it by morning???

[Reznik Akime]

I may just sit the rest of this one out. Ive exausted all my ideas in the 8 hours or so I was working on it. Goodluck to whomever continues to seek and congrads to the one who finds.

[Erasmus354]

If Fugger does give any good clues I hope he gives it in a nice hard riddle, cause after randomly (or not so randomly sometimes) searching though thousands of threads I would feel cheated if he up and practically gave it away to the person with the fastest internet connection.

[drftkng]

ok lemme ask this. Is the thread on xtremesystems?

LOL.. they hid it somewhere on the internet just to drive us mad :D

[Always]

But can't any cheats be done?? I make a post every 5 min, and stay tuned to the posts on this thread, when I see the winning post I just edit my latest post with the link. I think edited posts should be rendered invalid shouldn't they?

[Alec]

i sat here for bout 2 hours looking at hundreds of threads.. no success yet :(

[AKURA]

Gotta get me more coffee... :D 1 more clue from fugger and im done lookin.....

[Reznik Akime]

Cheats are just that Always, Cheats. Nobody likes a cheater. Do that and I would expect a swift backhand of peilter going across yer cheek.

[BigPanda]

noooo i got to go to school soon!!!!!!

[[XC] moddolicous]

alrite, so no one found it?!?! I just got up, and ready to search for the eggs.

[Alec]

lol good luck :P:

[Always]

Cheats are just that Always, Cheats. Nobody likes a cheater. Do that and I would expect a swift backhand of peilter going across yer cheek.

I wasn't saying I was going to do that, just mentioning it so mods or whoever looks after the "legality" of this competition noted someone could try some bad tricks to get hold of the prize.

[Reznik Akime]

Dont worry about that. When a post has been edited, it leaves a time stamp.. Except when the admin does it. They can make it to where the timestamp is invisible. That there has me in a slight arguement with another admin at a certian PS2 forum.

[GazC]

It's a good job I am my own boss or I would have got the sack today. No joy though. I'll be looking later on providing no one has beaten me to it.

[Always]

???? don't understand your post Gazc

[xpr-k]

???? don't understand your post Gazc


he's self employed and spent all his time looking for the egg instead of working .
If he were at the office his boss would have fired him.

[Always]

ok, I guess 3 hours searching just got my brain drained of power xD

[Myth]

Everybody hurry to the MAC Overclocking section... Just found some eggs there, and they were really tasty ;-) DOHH

[[XC] moddolicous]

Wait, is the thread by Fugger, or is it fuggers first post in a thread?

[Always]

xDD, Fugger can just have edited any thread can't he?

[AKURA]

Wait, is the thread by Fugger, or is it fuggers first post in a thread?

It could be anything still..........I just finished lookin all of fugger's post with no luck!!!!

[MuskBassist]

Wait, is the thread by Fugger, or is it fuggers first post in a thread?
no and no

[pancake]

it could be by fugger but it also could be by anyone.. he just edited the first post with the pic

[[XC] moddolicous]

oohh, thats right, he's a moderator. Forgot about that. That makes it like impossible.

[Alec]

No; Fugger did not write the thread.

[Always]

How do you know??last year he edited his own thread, if he edited someones thread the author would have a clear advantage wouldn't he?

[MuskBassist]

its also not in any thread that was either posted in or started by any user having bunny in their name . There goes my smart idea out the window :<

[[XC] moddolicous]

thanks muskbassist. I chekced all of fuggers thread and kazoo's, and nothing. Starting to get red eyes here.

[isp]

When will the next hint be given? I don't wanna miss it... :D

[sparky1_2007]

this is really making me mad, his last hint gave me a general idea where to look..... but i don't feel like clicking on every thread in those parts of the forums.....

[[XC] moddolicous]

yea, I know what you mean. I took that hint like 20 different ways, and still couldn't find it. Could he have editted like a 3 year old thread?

[sparky1_2007]

well, i have the general idea where it is, like what part of the forums to look in, then i just put all the threads on one page into tabas on mozilla, then start looking at each of them...



I THINK WE NEED ANOTHER HINT PLEASE & TY :)

Been doing tabbed browsing for 3 hours and no results, last year it was found pretty quick wasn't it?

I have allready checked the last 15 pages of that particular forum :p

[sparky1_2007]

yeah, it was... lol i'm guessing it was, because the thread name was eggs eggs eggs....

[sparky1_2007]

also, about your first hints, is that the thread starters post, or the first post by another member?

[jkabaseball]

ok, lets think about this for a moment. given that the contest has been on for almost 12 hours an no one has found it, it is hidden pritty well. We can assume that nearly every post in the last 5 to 10 pages has been searched. It has to be a spefic thread like fugger said. Our hint was it wouldn't be xtremesystems.org without xtremesystems. So what makes xtremesystems xtremesystems. I'm also guessing that a lot more OC and bandwidth threads are checked. So what makes this place special? The People? the support by people like OCZ workers? IT could even be in a thread a noob asked a question on how to OC and someone nicly helped him. IDK and its drving me crazy, if this helps you find it, good, maybe yo might send me a little somthing something

[pancake]

also this (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=783106#post783106) post fugger did , he just randomly put xtreme at the bottom of it cant find nothing with that though

Maybe the D2OL team folding fo their cause with some machines just dedicated to crunching makes us extreme?

he also said it WAS NOT a generic thread and that it would be EASY to find if you looked smartly (past tence ??)

Maybe it's in the admin area :p

I believe he is trying to tell us that the thread is under the 'Xtreme' Catagory; I have browsed every single forum in that catagory for the past erm.. 3 - 4 hours now and have found nothing.. This is definatelly a hard one; but remember the prizes which are going to be given to the winner cost a fair bit!!

Alec

[xpr-k]

i just went trought every sticky and didnt find it either . SO my interpetation of 'not a generic thread' didnt pay of either . I'm about to give up really... gives us a tip plz =]

[REDKEN]

Well, I looked for a while. At the beginning it was fun for me but now it's not. I think I'll wait for another hint.

Good luck guys!

[Always]

I'm affraid it's not.

[Jupiler]

Maybe it's in the admin area :p

Nope, would be a good one though. :D

[TomodaK]

I feel they owe us all a mobo and some ram of our choice after our hard work o_O. I went to bed last night only to dream of searching through thousands of threads lol. FUGGER GIVE EASIER HINTS FOR US IDIOTS @ XS WHO CANT FIGURE OUT UT HINTS well my lack of sleep is makin me act wierd ima go take a nap oratleast stop searching

[Magnj]

christ now im searching.
SO First Post of a thread. Looknig for the actual pic or a link?

[CD 1986]

Well i joined up after this competition was announced...was hoping my 1st post was going to be the linked thread :p:...but this has got me completely stumped...even with all the hints it's impossible...please give this n00b another hint. :D

[gulp35]

If no one finds it, i declare that I should get the mobo and ram because I was the first to be a sneaky bastard and link to this page

[mcnbns]

I can't believe no one has found it yet. We're all pathetic.

[pancake]

all the xtreme things people can do with hardware on this forum... yet were all collectively stumped by finding a picture lolol

[Alec]

lol ah well... :stick:
still looking and no success :(

[Magnj]

tried using the google search funstion. Kinda gave up though. I never win anythign so im not gonna try :P

[sparky1_2007]

hehe, atleast i can think i knew that it was somewhere in the xtreme sections hehe :)

[SLaY3r07]

I guess its time for me to start laughing now :lol:

[Always]

Sure the answer is pretty obvious, but people turn out to be so silly when they most need their little inteligence...

[L0$t Pr0PhEt]

hehe, atleast i can think i knew that it was somewhere in the xtreme sections hehe :)

Yeah, there are only 19040 threads in there :p

[Mats]

[sparky1_2007]

Yeah, there are only 19040 threads in there :p

[-dr-]

i`m off... 8 hours searching and still no result... enough for today...

good luck everyone...

[mcnbns]

I agree. You can't put a price on keeping your sanity.

[CD 1986]

• An image search (3 eggs)
• In the first post of a thread
• Not a generic thread; not a random thread
• It’s easy to figure out - it is findable if you looked smartly
• This is XtremeSystems.org - search for nothing less
• Most likely in the Xtreme section

Is this all we know so far? :( :mad:

[Always]

the key is here: it is findable if you looked smartly

Who figures this out will find it.

BTW, is the thread or post title also edited??

[Reznik Akime]

Will someone just hurry and figure this out before I get back from the dentist? I really dont want to get back in again. My eyes have finally gotten back into focus from staring at this 21" monitor with three inches from my face to its screen for 6+ hrs. x_x

I dont care if I win or not, its just wanna know where the hell it is. ><

And no, he said he did not add nor change any text except for that one single post. From the sounds of things its just that -picture-.

I google dorked alot of "Link This thread to Win" And "Youve found the picture" But nothing. I think its safe to say its just the picture.

[Ackbar]

Or... you guys can just control yourselves and stop looking... LOL! :slap:

[Stewie007]

You mean to tell me that no one has found it yet?

[NiCKE^]

I dont believe FUGGER planted the eggs.

[Smurfy]

Whats a Generic Thread when its at home

[bvchurch]

Another thing that I would like answered is what is the size of the picture we are looking for?

Is it the big one or the small one.

[Erasmus354]

wow, still nobody has found it...this is hard lol.

I hope that when the next hint is given (if it is given) that FUGGER instead of just giving the hint will say "I will give a good hint at XX:XX" That way it doesn't only advantage the few people who are searching at that time, but gives a chance for all of us who have been searching for the past 12+ hours.

[cadaveca]

nobody found it while i was sleeping? LoL. it did spawn over 180 emails in my inbox....longest i had to hold down the delete button...ever.

[Helheim]

Is it the exact same picture, i.e. same attachment ID?

[sobol]

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?p=2291 - first working post on this forum. Unfortunly not one were looking for.
Attachments number 10 forward and backward - also nothing.

[Jayfaas]

you there fugger? Any more ideas?

[isp]

Is it the exact same picture, i.e. same attachment ID?
It's probably hosted at a remote location, not an attachment. tags.

Also, any text that would be around it,
IE... "you won, report this thread etc.."
is probably edited onto the image.

They hid it well this time, real well. Perhaps [i]too well.... ;)

[stealth17]

Fugger is out of town for the weekend, but I'll let him know about this thread when he returns.

WTH????

[Sparky]

Im gonna go check into the nearest mental hospital :!

[isp]

WTH????
That post was from a completely different thread, and was made a day or two ago. He's back, that's how he posted this...duh

[Bennah]

I got to say, what a contest :D

First time Ive seen the contest. I'l have a little look around.

[REDKEN]

Just out of curiosity. What is a "generic thread"?

[calcal]

whats going on with this thread i cant view the post from 6-8

[idleuser]

omfg no one found it yet? lol like I say needle in a hay stack.

[Jayfaas]

I dont know but im at work and hopin that he would come on and give us another hint so I can find this :banana::banana::banana::banana:.

[NeGe0]

i don't really see how you can image search.....but I checked two whole sections and didn't find it...lol. Guess I'll start checking all 10k threads from the extreme section.

[xpr-k]

faked entries i'm guessing . You could use the pic in post one and post or edit an old post using it then claim youve found it . Of course this wont fool the admins .
Those posts you cant see are prolly of this nature and are now removed



whats going on with this thread i cant view the post from 6-8

[calcal]

is the post by an admin?

[Always]

it's edited by an admin

[Kazoo]

No, the post is not by an admin

[pancake]

is the picture actually on view in the thread or is there a link to it?

[Jayfaas]

can you give us another hint to end this massacre?

[Erasmus354]

i am assuming the picture will look exactly like it does in the first post here (not the attachment either). In last years contest the thread was pretty obvious once you actually found it. I think if you find the correct thread you will know it immediately.

[NiCKE^]

The post isnt either edited by Kazoo or FUGGER.

[xpr-k]

Its not a generic thread.

Spare yourself looking in random threads.

It is in the first post.

It is easy to figure out, I did not put it in a random thread. It is findable if you looked smartly.


damned why wont this mean anything to me , it is so in this qoute .

It is in the first qoute + It is findable if you LOOKED (past tense) smartly both indicate there's a hidden hint in the first post (the one with the egg pic in it) .
I just cant find it and/or am way off in assuming this , but fugger has an odd way of putting things when his use of the past tense doesnt mean anything.

[calcal]

if its not edited its a new thread....

[CD 1986]

Could it be related to the prizes on offer...anyone done a search for DFI or OCZ related threads? :confused:

[SLaY3r07]

I think your trying to read into it too much lol, dont put so much importance on the looked part.

[idleuser]

lol someone just find it already :) i already given up it's just too much trouble! anyways it's not in a new thread, someone already went searcing for all the threads that started and all the threads with 0 didnt work as well... go figure it's edited in a post and that's all we know!

[FUGGER]

New hint

First post is very important.

Xtreme is very important.

The post I believe is a world record.

[Stewie007]

I googled it, I did everything, I tried to search for the image itself from other sources, I've mirrored the image and did the little 3D trick to see if he hid something in it... Man forget it...

I already have a K8n Neo4 anyways, and I don't want that OCZ Ram anyways, so I'd probably end up selling it :p Or I'd sell my Neo 4, *shrugs*

Either way my tax return will afford me the rest of my upgrade. I've got other things to do than waste my time :p:

Do you need another employee???

[Always]

where do you see any eggs??

[bvchurch]

This is driving all of us nuts.

I still want to know, and this question is something NOBODY has answered, not even FUGGER, is the pic we are looking for the size of the pic thats posted on the first post, or is it the small thumbnail.


Maybe its hidden in the first pic of this thread. hmm.
