spock1 on the NMScord mentioned something which would probably be a good PSA to sticky to the intro page:
For those new to ARGs, which I have seen a few people say they are:
DO NOT GO TO REAL LOCATIONS UNLESS EXPLICITLY SPECIFIED BY THE PM.
DO NOT CALL REAL PHONE NUMBERS/CONTACT REAL EMAIL IDS UNLESS EXPLICITLY SPECIFIED BY THE PM.
DO NOT DO ANYTHING ILLEGAL WHILE LOOKING INTO THE ARG.
DO NOT MESS WITH GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.

Welcome to the forum!
Much appreciated, I am working on posting something along those lines, but yes, great basic ARG advise!
Edit: Iâll just copy that (for now anyways) and include âSpockâ for source as good measure.
Update:
We need to watch that event phase to see if it changes. Nice info.
It seems like someone saved the project-scryscraper page on the WayBackMachine on May 6
Oh interesting, howâd you go about setting it up? Would love to add that to my toolset for the site
A few days ago, user @XREDXCLOUDX ran some of the images through an AI, and presented us with the results â in a somewhat bizarre fantasy format.
Their effort wasnât taken seriously. They had believed the AI, and used no critical judgement at all.
However, my attention was caught by the phrase âwe see your connectionâ â which is all too similar to events in the game. I decided to dig a little further.
It turns out, the hex strings "0A 41 52 43 48 49 54 45 43 54 5Fâ and â0A 49 54 54 4C 55 5Eâ when converted to ASCII correspond to âARCHITECTâ and âITTLU^â
The string âV2Ugc2VIIH1vdXIgQ29ubmVjdGIvbg==â, when converted from Base 64 to ASCII, gave âWe seH }our Connectb/nâ
Itâs not exact, but I suspect something got lost in the AI representation. Thereâs definitely something in the hex and base 64 code the AI presented.
So I set about examining the file TRACE.JPG in a hex editor. Trouble is, I canât find these strings anywhere. Maybe theyâre cleverly obfuscated. Maybe the AI invented them. Maybe someone with better crypto skills needs to take a look.
A Warning â weâve been experiencing problems with image files being converted to WEBP format when you download them. Conversion to WEBP involves re-encoding the file, and any data hidden in it will be lost. If youâre going to poke around in the file code, make sure you have the original .JPG version.
Report submitted in the interests of Citizen Science.
Do we know if the conversion is by the browser? If so then downloading with curl should work.
Hereâs the instruction manual text: Tearaway Thomas - Amiga Instructions, Docs - Lemon Amiga
A PLANET SITUATED 16
BITS AWAY FROM THE BLACK HOLE CALLEDAGESAND JUST A LITTLE LEFT OF THE
STAR SYSTEM MAGADRIVER BUT STILL REMAINING NORTH OF THE DENSELY POPULATED
ANAGRAM.
Most definitely a browser habit. Ways to circumvent and get to the actual source may vary, but most certainly advised. With any research, it is important to work with source material.
Correct me if Iâm wrong but, Iâm fairly certain all thatâs doing is writing to the console whenever you post a message yourself and reporting on the event generated by the message sent via the console, and isnât reporting anything from the site itself, so the event phase here would refer to the message you just sent via the console and itâs status while executingâŠ
If the eventHandler logs a message posted by a site component though, thatâd be significant, and be something to look out for.
Yeah thatâs true, didnât recall that
It doesnât mean anything⊠I recall that I found a worker js file where there was a function to create a worker, maybe that could be triggered.
Deleted my post not to confuse anyone
16 +16 = 32 
Or rather, 16x2=32
The number 16 isnt just important to the games lore but also the Skyscraper engine that NMS runs on.
E.g 16Âčⶠ= 18 quintillion. The engine itself runs on base-16, everything is seeded with a 16 digit hexadecimal string, etc.
A lot of NMS lore is in essence a parallel to the games development journey and how it has grown and changed over the years. Sometimes even teasing its future (i.e travellers in Atlas Rises 2017 were talking about what players would be able to do when NMS next arrived in 2018, when the boundaries truly fell).
I reckon weâll be seeing a lot of 16s in various (in stellar? ) multitudes across this ARG.
Hmmmm, gonna try keep an eye out for some Anagrams, just to be on the safe side.
For anyone who wants to mess around with the images, you can download the original JPGs from the sitemap:
https://project-skyscraper.com/image-sitemap-1.xml
They shouldnât get converted to WEBP this way.
I did try and get one from the country codes. I got BRIDGE and CAMBRIDGE but couldnât get anything with the remaining letters. So thatâs probably a dead end, unless thereâs a name in there Iâm missing.
Just a reminder that any number can be interpreted as a unix timestamp. Doesnât necessarily mean that it is meant as such.
Cross post from narrative, these docs of the NMS story/lore taken directly from the game and bookmarked with chapters/sections might be useful to some folk. This is my main DUMP file that I was pulling from and not the stand alone curated versions I had been working on (wanted to print out and make hardback copies for my shelves), so it has everything and some of it has yet to be formatted, its 680 pages in total so keep this in mind when viewing from smartphone devices etc.
Kaladin, is that you?
Congrats @chaos_geek , you pushed this thread over the 1000 post threshold.
It really is like the waking titan days around here again 
Next milestone⊠1,616
Hell, who knows? That might be the connection @the_architect is waiting for 
Small side note, Martin Griffitths liked NoMansZineâs post about the ARG. Could mean some slight acknowledgement, or just a nod that theyâre aware of things (as yâall probably let em know with the category creation).
