So, the last s33k3r was named. His name was Septimus. By this time, he and dolst were out in the non-physical realm. Once we named him, they were split back into their separate souls or minds or whatever. David and Nathan had built a machine called the astral apparatus. It seemed it was built to retrieve Nathan should he wind up back in the non-physical realm. As it happened, it was used to retrieve dolst instead. The only catch was that we had to find the control software to make it work. It was another series of pages on mechabiozoid.com to calibrate and activate the machine. Calibration included adjusting 4 "faces" to align the apparatus to dolst's soul to bring him back. A clue to do this was provided on his deviantart page. Also, during this time, it appeared dolst was posting into the past by a few days sometimes. (Fluid time and all that) Performing an adjustment caused the page to reset with a 6 hour timer before the next adjustment could be made. Once the apparatus was calibrated, we activated it. dolst came back to his body, and posted this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5SF5_93ZMEHe informed us that we are close to finished with the Hunt, and also the way the s33k3rs pronounced "Gangadiddle" was actually the correct way. ("Gong-GAH-did-All"... ORLY?) So now he's home, the clues are back up at dolst.com/gangadiddle and dolst.9k.com/gangadiddle and it seems the only thing left to do is make the trips and find the locations. Unless they decide to come up with another online sidequest for us. :3 Currently, the next location is Buckroe Beach, where the videos and channel description of www.youtube.com/b3achwalka should help us find what we need to unlock dolst.com/gangadiddle/CharlottesWeb.rarIt's April 26, 2010, and this is where we are.

So now rockhardquarry.com gives nothing but a 404. dolst's twitter says
and there have been no new Youtube or MFG updates. Has The Hunt died? Things look rather bleak. At least we have 2 more years. It's July 14, 2011, and this is where we are.

Looks like Rock Hard Quarry is down again. Meanwhile, Nathan tweeted this:
I thought the quake hit DC. Shows how much attention I've been paying. No other new developments I'm aware of. It's August 25th, 2011, and this is where we are.

Just logged in and had a message from tomatogoatee waiting since Sep. He asked about the Hunt and as far as I know it's still on. But, to be sure, I just logged into Youtube and asked Nathan Israel (youtube.com/gangadiddle) about it. Hopefully I will get a response. Maybe he'll even make another video or 2 (HINT HINT!!). Until then, no real new developments. It's October 7th, 2011, and this is where we are.

Nothing new from Israel or dolst. I sent a message to youtube.com/gangadiddle and got the canned response, but nothing new since then. I fear that, though this thing is still going on, it's not raeally active right now, and is probably abandoned. :-( It's October 27th, 2011, and this is where we are.

Message from Nathan, Nov 15, on YouTube and Twitter:
"More videos"? I'm waiting. :-) Is anyone else still here anymore? Oh well... It's November 23, 2011, and this is where we are.

Presumably dolst is still hoping we will recruit someone from Richmond to continue the hunt. But I cbf to do it, so maybe he should give it a try. After all, everyone we had before ended up bailing.
I'm happy to help solve shit online, but I'm not going to travel hundreds of miles to follow the next clue. But it would be a shame for this to end halfway through.

I just found out about the new videos, so I'm back. Didn't even realize there was anyone still updating! However: Presumably dolst is still hoping we will recruit someone from Richmond to continue the hunt. But I cbf to do it, so maybe he should give it a try. After all, everyone we had before ended up bailing. I'm happy to help solve shit online, but I'm not going to travel hundreds of miles to follow the next clue. But it would be a shame for this to end halfway through. That pretty much sums up my thoughts on the hunt and its continuation. If we can actually find a field agent, though, I'm more than willing to see this thing through to the end.

It's interesting to see that these forums have still been active. After I got the videos in my sub box, I was wondering if I would need to find a bunch more people.
But I'm here. I may not be the best at puzzles, but I could try and gather more people.

Wow, I just posted the other day and already there's two vids up! Also, glad to see some familiar faces here. I thought I was the alone here. Glad to see, that's not the case. :-)
I know right? I'm still scratching my head over that. It's ironic too, because I just talked to Kerry today and he asked about "that online game in Williamsburg", and I told him "it's kind of slow. Not much new lately." LOL At least he's giving Kerry and Hunter 1 credit for their trips out there... over a year later now though. I should say "there's not much going on anymore" more often! I guess there will be more videos coming? I hope so! It's Novermber 24th, 2011, and this is where we are.
P.S. Happy Thanksgiving! Hope everyone had plenty of turkey!

So, a new gangadiddle video went up yesterday. But first, here's the first two of the November videos:
Kind of a notice that more videos were to come and the Hunt is not dead.
"Old news" as someone said. Notice that the Williamsburg clue was solved. That happened over a year ago!
And now, a video about the Scorpion House being found. That was also more than a year ago.
I do find it interesting to note that each "location" vid so far, has had, at the end, an "X of 10" message. Williamsburg was "1 of 10" and History Land Scorpion House was "2 of 10".
I think it's safe to say the Hunt has 10 locations. If we're on 8 now, then, holy crap we're close!
It's November 27, 2011, and this is where we are.
