Hullo, Soda Master. May I contribute Pepsi to this list?

Oh, I actually saw this thread before seeing your response about it. I answered this just out of curiousity.

Anyway, yeah. Hi!

Hey! So what I found is, near The Confederates' post on the LTE, there are 3 other posts that were made a few days after. 

Number One is by "E" and says "Lash"

Number Two is by "F" and says "HoP8"

Number Three is by "G" and says "Posh"

As too what these mean...I have no idea.

Oh! Curious.

They were either disguised to look like they were posted back in 2016 (they fit the conversation going on back then), or they are... A glitch in the dates. Because they weren't inserted randomly between letters, they fit the actual flow of the alphabet-themed posters, except for an extra 'G' that could have been caused by someone posting before the previous person's went through. 

@Admins, is a glitch in the dates like that plausible?

@Neko, I'll go find an old thread and post halfway through to see if it affects the dates near it. 

And Onyx says otkw, which is funny, considering... 

We've had glitches in dates since the beginning of Chatterbox. Some threads were dated in the 1960s, way before the invention of the Internet. Chatterbox didn't launch until 2008.

I think they were disguised on purpose, that matches up with the information we’ve been given.

Right...

I'll think about what they might mean, be on later, I'm in a rush right now, sorry...

Aw, I was hoping to see you two figure out that scavenger hunt thingy.

Mind if I join your sleuthing team?

Same! Could I join as well? I never got very far on that thing on my own, it confused me. :/

*salutes*

Welcome to the hunt, kids. Why did I salute? No idea. Anyway, I’d like to finish this, but I’m rather stuck.

Yay! So...

Here's the trail so far.

The first clue was on the main thread, and it accidentally led to the wrong page. Later on the page The Confederates corrected it, and it ended up leading to page 22 of the Longest Thread Ever.

The second clue--on the LTE--led to Pudding's Place ('cause it's one up from the bottom of the Places to Chat list...) on node 212426, AKA the Art Posting thread. It told us to go to page 19, and on page nineteen was Lap R.'s Photobomber picture.

The next clue was posted on the main thread. It said to go back where we started...

And then a hint was posted--a pic of a magifying glass. The Confederates said that the dates were highlighted on the magnifying glass to help identify the next clues.

Neko and Coyotedomino have narrowed the search down to some posts that have shown up right underneath the very first hidden clue--on page 22 of the Longest Thread Ever. They say

Lash

HoP8

Posh

And that's where the investigation has stopped...

I checked the original thread by the Confederates and the last thing they posted there was a blank post reading:

"Need a hinh? Jush ask!" in the location.

Maybe that's a hint in itself?

Why are the "t"s replaced with "h"s?

*facepalms*

Thank you, Stardust! 

Lash = Last  

HoP8 = ToP8

Posh = Post

Still not sure what ToP8 means, but still.

submitted by P8, ...Page...8? :3

*facepalms some more*

Thank you.

Okay, so page 8 on last to post led to page 127, to this comment.

I'm having trouble even thinking at the moment, so...

Ohhh boy. I can’t think of any easy way to do that.
