=====(Aug 17)=====<br />
* Just after 9pm PDT, according to the times listed on [[the artifact location]] page, GPS coordinates appeared beside each city. People in the area then headed to the locations to find ''something''.<br />
* An hour later, the Los Angeles coordinates were 'corrected'. <br />
* At 10:11 PDT, eccramer of UF discovered a projector playing a video on the wall at the Seattle location. Within this video was a web address to the Server 5 [[Bounce Path Control]] page. He reported it to Gigawatts of UF on IRC, and all 100 keys were then claimed within minutes.<br />
* By 10:23pm PDT, 100 keys had been entered and [[Server 05]] was unlocked (though once again, not without [[Technical problems#Server 05|technical difficulty]]).<br />
* At 10:30pm PDT, the New York coordinates were also 'corrected'.<br />
* The time it took from discovering the [[Bounce Path Control]] page (first key entered) to the 100 keys being entered took about 20 minutes - however, the first 5 keys spanned 19 minutes, at which point the BPC page link was posted, and within under 2 minutes, the rest had been claimed.<br />
* Everything about [[Server 05]] was then actively pored over by the community.<br />
<br />
=====(Aug 16)=====<br />
* Just before noon, the status of server 5 was updated to ''pending'' with '''0''' keys activated.<br />
* At about 11:30am EDT, times appeared after the dates in the city list on [[the artifact location]] website. For New York (EDT): '''23:59''', Seattle (PDT): '''21:00''', and for LA (PDT): '''21:00'''.<br />
<br />
=====(Aug 13)=====<br />
* The numbers 081607 (16th August, 2007) now appear between the city names and random characters of [[the artifact location]] website.<br />
<br />
=====(Aug 10)=====<br />
* After opening [[Server 04]], users quickly discovered the url of the mysterious new IP address, by using the text found on [[StarImage4.jpg]]: [[206.16.223.76|TheArtifactLocation.com]]. It was also noted then that when each star map when overlaid with previous, was slowly spelling out "the artifact location" which was clearly visible in the 4th image.<br />
* It was quickly determined (aka previously known) that the password for the location was ''boomerang'' - the name of the nebula in [[unknown.jpg]]. Entering it produced a new mystery - a list of 3 cities: New York, Seattle, Los Angeles - followed by randomly cycling characters in sets of 5.<br />
<br />
=====(Aug 9)=====<br />
* At 10:50am PDT, [[Thomas Sanatos]] began another thread in the [[The Castaway Theory#Amazon.com comments|book's forum]], labelled "He's BACK!!"<br />
* Within this comment, Thomas was very excited that [[Jonas]] had returned from his 20 months' absense, quoting an IM he received from one "[[profvol49]]". Assuming it's an MSN username, [[Jonas]] could be reached via profvol49[splat]hotmail.com<br />
* In chatting with profvol49 (a chat bot), bits of information were revealed - some important, some not. Mainly, the link to the [[Bounce Path Control]] page for [[Server 04]].<br />
* Soon after 11am PDT, 100 keys had been entered and [[Server 04]] was unlocked (though not without [[Technical problems#Server 04|technical difficulty]]).<br />
