Totally spam.

By the way, turns out it was just an experiment.

Some guy wanted to see how people react to not having enough information.

Search YTMND and you'll find a page about it.

EDIT: Whups, got beat to it.

Sorry, guys :-\

I kinda wanted some form of terrorism to occur too. Something interesting, right?

Exactly, I wanted explosions everywhere.

Sociological experiments are so boring once you know them for what they really are.

And for you wikipedia freaks, the page for this crap has been deleted. Yes, mods actually took it down entirely.

Some people on GameFAQs were (half-jokingly) suggesting it's a screamer, which I think is what should have happened. I would literally ROFL if that was the case.

I disagree. I was fascinated reading that article, though I have to admit I probably would have gotten at least a bit nervous and imagined the worst from having seen the website, if I had been online last night ~_~

The instant I heard that this thing was just a "let's put a counter on a map with nothing else and see how much people panic" experiment, I laughed my ass off.

I disappointed I wasn't killed in a big bloody uproar already.

Econ8 has failed in my eyes. D=

lol

I was watching it for awhile last night, saw the final countdown.
Kind of disappointing. its a big fad on ytmnd, of course.

wikipedia always deletes the articles people need to see the most, like nedm and brian peppers.

I was hoping it would be a massive virus launch myself.

I wish I hadn't missed this. Still, definitely one of the more creative net-based "experiments" I can think of recently. Interesting that people kept trying to hack their way in (or script-kiddie their way in, from the sound of it), can't say I hear of that happening much for this sort of thing.
