There is no major thread with a mention of a reveal in the quest4treasure forum. It would have been stickied. Burnstyle's team has backed up those forums when there was a threat of the forums being shut down.

Right. The search suddenly went dark just because. Simultaneously across multiple sites. All at once. And all this didn’t conclude in the fantastically lame way it did because, above all else, “nothing happened” lol

Hes kind of right.
Historically q4t has been the main hub for new and interesting ideas regarding the secret. Ideas would be brought up there, and people would branch out and discuss those ideas on other forums, sometimes incorporating the ideas into their theories, and sometimes simply talking about the ideas in more depth.
A large ammount of memebers who would bring those ideas to q4t got tired of the trolls and arguing on the site then suddenly, all at once, and without any planning between them, stopped posting.

When the conversation stopped on q4t, it almost forced public conversation to stop elsewhere.

A lot of people are simply working privately now. And a bunch of the old q4t memebers migrated to Facebook.
Hopefully the conversation will begin again soon.

When all the drama started happening on q4t, the owner threatened to shut the forum down. That made a lot of us nervous so I set out to archive the site.

I was able to backup all of the threads in raw html, and post them in a way where they were public and searchable.

I also set a url to the backup... quest4pleasure.com

q4t has no real information. It's all bullshit conjecture that's led nowhere. The only person who will actually find one of these will be looking at it with fresh eyes.

I forget what the answer is but at this point why aren't people just meta-gaming the whole thing? Doesn't the deceased author have friends or family who know poo poo? Can't one of these absolute loons kidnap them or something? Seems less wacky than any single Urban Smurf post to me.

Nobody will say anything, the artist is suffering from a terminal case of being an rear end in a top hat, and please don't mention U.S. or he'll show up and re-mark the thread with his weird musk and cause a whole thing. Yes, it's all masturbatory at this point but still neat to see new posts in the thread to get the ol' hopes up!

Naming no names what proportion of the people active in searching do you reckon are Trump voters? Not just conservatives, but Trump voters.

Well yeah. It's the fact that a bunch of people searching for a stuff in a book based on a positive and historical theme of immigration - fictionalised for the fairy stuff of course, might be discovered by people who voted for the anti-immigration candidate.

Also they are supposedly pattern seeing and they haven't seen the pattern of the support of psychological evil in their voting choices. They are big old evidence deniers.

I have had people probe and dig for me and would consider letting other local people dig up my locations. They get the casque - I get the credit, but I don't want that digger to be a twat.

I speak with a few people searching in Boston regularly. There were private conversations amongst them about walking away from q4t because of 1 specific person. That person is a rabid poster of everything including the ingredients of his/her breakfast and how it relates to the secret.
None of those people wanted to be the one who finally told this goon to gently caress off and then became the excuse for Mark Parry to shut down the forum.
Those discussions took place before q4t went quiet. Well, “quiet” with the exception of that rear end in a top hat still posting and responding to his/her own posts about nothing.

Your back up of q4t was a strong move burnstyle. At the very least, it’s an insurance policy for when someone does go too far and pushes Mark to hit the nuke button.
