=Mysterious Videos=
==Origin==
On late April 9th / early April 10th of 2007, a user at [[ETS]] by the name of [[ZerosAndOnes]] posted of finding three videos on [[NIN.com]] which were apparently almost instantaniously removed. They were later delivered to another user via request who put them up on YouTube and Sendspace, though they mysteriously disappeared from YouTube only a short twenty minutes later. After a miriad of discussion on the validity of the videos, the general concensus being that they were in fact "real YZ videos", the [[ETS]] moderator [[ItsJustDave]] prounced that they were fake and locked the topic. It is still unsure exactly who made them, where they came from and if they do in fact represent an official peice of the [[Year Zero ARG]].
==Possible Validity?==
The videos themselves contain a number of distortions that are similar and almost exact in places to the other "official" YZ videos that have been seen up as well as showing scenes directly related to the ARG itself that seem to be almost entirely within the canon. The computer generation also seems to be well done, not to the point of a motion picture but enough to be able to see the amount of time that was taken on it.
==Possible Hoax?==
The distortions and pictures in the videos could have all been created/reconstructed rather easily by someone skilled at video/picture manipulation and someone who was keeping tabs on the ARG would have known most of the ins and outs of the canon as the videos only capture things that we were already aware of aside from some strange numbers and dates. The distortions and symbols in the videos are also already pre-existing and could have possibly been lifted from the sites themselves. The trackers also show that no changes were made to [[http://yearzero.nin.com]] at the time they allegidly appeared.
==Description and Links==
'If a moderator/admin sees this and wishes to include links and or descriptions of the videos, then they can't edit it in. The locking of the topic and the majority of disbelief amongst the staff is for a reason and though I disagree I'm just reporting the facts and want to cooperate in any way I can. I don't want to get in anyone's face. ^ ^;'
