Strange idea

[Cosmo]

When I bought TTI from Mop, he gave me the "corrupted backup" of the original thread. I got excited because maybe it had IP data in it, but it was a messed up text file from the old software. Nothing interesting in it. I don't have that email anymore (my Gmail got blown up years ago) but I had asked him about the IP address, and he said he had looked when the posts were going on and that they came back associated with a Celebration FL school system.

Pretty sure some people already knew that, but that was a firsthand account relayed to me.

It occurred to me that TTI used to live on another domain Mop owned, xone.net:

The original TTI homepage is here:

Also on that xone.net domain is another site for Disney

One of the forum categories is specifically for Celebration:



As far as I know, Mop didn't live in Florida. I thought he lived in the Pacific Northwest? Could have moved I suppose, but it seems curious to me there would be such a coincidental recurrence of Disney and Celebration throughout the TTI/Titor Haberverse.

Thats part of the question did original story some through some Disney background with a view to a movie later on?

Interesting. Not sure what digging through the old web pages is going to reveal to you. Were you looking for something specific?

I guess my point is that Mop ran another forum about Disney in Florida, including a forum category about Celebration specifically. The Habers are from/in Florida when this all happens. John Titor's story begins in Florida. According to Mop, John Titor's IP was from the Celebration, FL school district.

It's all a little too coincidental and stands out to me, but maybe I'm just weird. I own a time travel site after all.

Nice cyberdetectivery! Yeah, that's really too weird to be a coincidence. I think it deserves a follow-up with Mr. Burriel. Perhaps he could Mop up the mess around the genesis of Titor more easily than anyone expected.
