Some friends of mine are into urban exploration. Back in 2005 they went somewhere they REALLY weren't supposed to and one of the guys did something they normally don't even think about doing - he took something and brought it back. The guy grabbed an old floppy disk out of a desk drawer. Didn't make sense, of course, I mean, who has a floppy drive on their computer these days? Even back then they weren't too common, if memory serves. Since they didn't know what to do with it, I "borrowed" it from him just for the night.

Anyway, curiosity got the better of me so I got an internal floppy drive on loan, hooked it up to an older desktop machine that still has an FDC and tried to read the disc. OF COURSE as expected, the prompt was "this disk isn't formatted" or something like that. Instead of formatting it, I used a disk imaging program and dumped the whole corrupted disk to a file: https://www.sendspace.com/file/aquisq

If anyone's curious, no, I don't have the physical disk anymore.

No, just... No..

I'll wait for somebody to post what they found. I am NOT downloading 20 year old pizza. Not sayin' that's what it is but not taking chances.

Just tried. Can't even do anything because you need to sign up or some shit

OP were your friends in a government facility? We used floppy disks because they couldn't be hacked. More than likely it's a password or a launch code that doesn't exist anymore, or 99% likely, it's a spare someone left that doesn't have shit on it, or at least anything you would understand.

Don't play in government buildings, they catch you and you go to big boy jail for criminal mischief

>>18891908
OP here. I told them it was a stupid idea but they wouldn't listen. This was over a decade ago but I agree, you get in big shit if you go into certain places.

I was nervous about posting or upload it but I figured it had been long enough that whatever might still be in that corrupted data wouldn't be sensitive anyway. Still, I know it's pretty stupid.

OP here. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't either, my pimp.

God, I may regret this, but it was some place outside of Columbus, Ohio. It was more or less a dumping ground for old equipment and a bunch of IBM computers from the mid-1970's.

T-this one is edited right???? I don't want to waste my time here so tell me the truth.
>>
>>18891999
All I can tell you is that *I* didn't edit it. The way it reads, keep in mind it could be anything from an e-mail to a very poorly written piece of fiction downloaded from 1980's newsgroups. We honestly don't know.
>>
>>18891991

Oh look >>18891973 was absolutely right! LARPing bullshit!

>>18891999
...really? If you're legitimately getting suckered in by this "we gotz to prevent deze teenagers from dying in a car accident! Let's go back in time to stop THE INCIDENT" crap then I hope someone has the initiative to slap the taste out of your mouth.

but to >>18891973, I'd seriously give you a prize if I could.

here's +1 internets as a consolation prize.

Rest assured that this is the content of the file. All we need to confirm is if OP made this thread for "le ebin spooks xD". Interesting thread so far.

Did you read the text in >>18891991's image? I'm flabbergasted that you're even entertaining the notion of believing such poorly written bait.

Here's a quote for emphasis"
"The access codes for the HC are provided in "tbx.txt".

Considering the "preventing an accident" story line they're obviously angling for here we can assume HC probably is the initials of "Hadron Collider" or something equally obvious.

Beyond that, what government facility would deliver internal memorandum via floppy disk while openly stating that the super important access codes are unsecured in a .txt file...

I mean, come the fuck on! I've read through a sizable portion of the material made available through WikiLeaks and, yes, our government is stupid... but THAT goddamn, pants-shittingly moronic? Don't make me laugh!

I've seen short stories composed by middle schoolers with sense of narrative!

>>18892034
Ahh shit. Not that I've expected a good thread here on /x/. Has there even a spooky non-LARP thread here?
>>
Pics from the PCX files.
>>
>>18892046
You're an idiot.

I'm going to bed.

If you morons want something mildly interesting to read go research the John Titor messages. Its highly likely those were LARPing too but at least they were somewhat well executed and possibly what "inspired" our talentless hack of an OP to post this garbage pile of failure.

Go with something better than Stein's Gate bullshit.

>FORCONOCLICE

is this you, Cryptos site-maker aka Nitrocosm.com author?

You said that shit WASN'T an ARG, you troll.
>>
>>18892078
for what it's worth, this guy had a creepy website about the "Hovercrane" time machine/vehicle from his comics on cryptos.nitrocosm.com years back, with the same images and "FORCONOCLICE"

Although at the time he said he was just an art thing and not to bother following it...
