Polyhedron is also getting in on the game with a bunch of links to conspiracy theory stuff. No surprise that some of these are long since mysteriously vanished then. <a href="http://www.conspiracy-net.com" target="_blank">www.conspiracy-net.com</a> is still around, but obviously not the same website, with all the more specific internal links replaced by a basic wordpress site with only half a dozen posts and no actual meaty info. I dread to think what happened to the previous owner. xoom.com is also obviously a completely different business that’s taken over the name since then. ufomind.com now redirects to the personal website of Glen Campbell (not the old bandleader), although at least some of the old content does seem to be available in this case. pbs.org is still around, but the internal structure has also been reorganised since then, so the hand feature showing just how destructive a nuke would be on YOUR city has disappeared. The Starchild Project has lost it’s hyphen, but the truth is still out there for those bold enough to google. The National Transportation Safety Board database of aviation accidents is also still there under a slightly different name. Only the joke conspiracy website catsarefrommars.com has completely vanished without being replaced by someone …… or something else. Despite ubiquitous cameraphones debunking many of the old conspiracies, there remains plenty of interest in the concept as a whole. There’s always going to be limits to our knowledge and wacky theories about what lie beyond it, no matter how much we expand the size of the lighted up areas.The survey is also in theme with the recent release of Dark Matter for Alternity and wants to know your favourite conspiracy theory. You WILL fill out the form and send it in promptly. fnordA somewhat strange issue, as it feels like an out of season halloween one. There is a decent amount of useful info in it, but it illustrates just how much the edition change is disrupting their regular day-to-day routine, with the smaller magazines more seriously affected than the bigger ones. Well, I guess we’ve got a good few more months of that before they can even think of settling things down again. Time to get a good look at it from several more different angles.</blockquote>
