What does /g/ think of John Titor?
Elaborate ruse or actual time traveler?
How did he know that the 5100 could debug mainframes?
Was he just an IBM employee that wanted to get the word out? Why go through all the trouble of making such an elaborate story then?
Also this has to be the most unnerving website I've seen

Whats the point of that site? There aren't any clickable links.
It looks like it could be an archive of some kind of it isn't.
Elaborate ruse, but desu it doesn't even have to be considered elaborate.
Most of his predictions were wild ramblings, and while the general public didn't know much about IBM, it wasn't exactly a trade secret.

This wtf
Maybe HE WAS a time traveler indeed, but he succeed on his mission and now, in the probably "better" timeline, we're bound to see him as a liar, a fraud, a charlatan, because everything he predicted didn't happen, because he changed it.

His alleged laser bending gravity picture was proof enough to dismiss everything he says.
>>53690137
That's not was his mission was though
He wasn't trying to change his future, just get a 5100 to fix some old UNIX programs.
Speaking of which, What the hell legacy programs were they trying to fix?
Every implementation of UNIX that matters is 64 bit now, and is therefore immune to the 2038 problem.

This. It looks obvious as fuck that its an optic wire.
>>53690216
But then again, even if the laser pic was fake, why go through all the trouble of designing something like this?
It seems like to much work for a computer nerd just doing it for the lulz
Elaborate ruse, because time travel is silly.
Also, he could have said SOMETHING falsifiable about some of the crazy shit that's happened between then and now.
>>53690254
Well he said he's from a parallel timeline, so its basically impossible to say he was wrong because events could have happened differently in his.
>>53690270
That's almost as convenient as "do not test the Lord thy God".

>time, that devours all things
Ayyy we getting spooky
>>53690286
It's true though. Read the wikipedia article.
It makes his claims unfalsifiable which is why this is so interesting
>>53690306
It's interesting as a constructed story, so my conclusion is he's a reasonably well-educated writer of fiction, either pro slumming on usenet or amateur stretching his legs.

This explains the dates and JOHN-1/JOHN-2
Apparently his mother released this in 2009, and the upload date matches.

Did this fuck really keep a 9 year troll going on?
It all fits, especially with that empty website in the OP.
Also the Microsoft sam voice in unsettling as fuck.
>>53690250
I don't understand where this high resolution version of that schematic came from.. why is it on a random strategicbrains website and in such better quality than the original images/pdf?
>>53690400
Well it's clearly the same image, so it's not like it was taken from another source.
>>53690424
the point is the version I posted is in much better shape (and looks close to an original scan/higher resolution). All of the other scans I have found (including the originals) are in much lower quality, implying that this came from someone in possession of the originals..

So you think John or Larry Haber have been updating the pictures online?
Why wouldn't they redo the laser picture then?
Also this is still a very popular story, especially after that anime introduced it to newer people on the internet.
Why wouldn't they try to profit from this? Or just reprint that book that was in circulation. Clearly if they were still making shit about it 10 years after the initial posts they would still be interested.
