Is this for real: http://www.14may2003.com or is it a hoax?

It's all vaguely plausible right up until the paragraphs after the photo of negatives.

I don't understand it. It costs $ to register a domain name, and you need to pay some company to host the website.

It's very puzzling.

sounds like a ploy to hype up some new company the webmaster is trying to start up.

I don't buy it.

I explored the site and i got this link: http://www.8march2003.com/ In this site the photos are revealed, he talks about a future disaster that will happen in the world and an ''ark'' being secretly built.

The site 8march2003 says the world would end on 2003/03/08. It clearly didn't.

This new site has exactly the same layout and content, except with a new date.

That's even more expensive.

Unless that person has access to a web server and does this secretly without the owner's knowledge.

Tired of ads?

well, clearly you haven't read enough...if you read the log on that date (march 8th), they reveal the pictures...however, if you scroll to the bottom, you get a link to www.mountainsub.com...if you click "show me more" at the bottom of that, it clearly asks the reader to guess what this whole shindig is about...is it for a toy, game, book? who knows...

Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

Yeah, I actually thought some parts of it were worthy of a cheap novel. Everything before the signature ("In hope for our future") is some good stuff. Of course, after that the guy got lazy, and forgot all of his literary style he so well employed in the beginning, and started writing like a 12-year-old kid.

"Bookmark this page now, cause its time to wakeup!" and such.

But, of course, the sentence that kills the whole thing is:
"I also tried to call my server provider, but I only reached an answeringmachine that said that the company didnt exist and never did exist."

I mean you call a number and the answering machine tells you that the company you are trying to reach does not, and never did, exist? * sigh * Everything before that was real cool. I enjoyed reading it as a novel. (If only it wasn't written in red on black background... Hurts my eyes too much.)
