What does podmark means about take the letters and look at the keyboard? :doh:

If you take the letters 'wwlkxryw' which were highlighted in the website, then check their position on the keyboard each letter corresponds to an adjacent letter on the keyboard thus creating a secret message.

Correct. I didn't want to give it away myself.
I couldn't figure it out without TUE help anyway.

But seriously, the only clue I don't understand is #2 or was it just a trick? ;)

take the letters and look at the keyboard.

yep clue two was a clue to who was involved with the site

Now that I look at it, I can see the clue, although it may have been a bit too obscure initially.  However, perhaps I'm being thicker than usual, as I can't *quite* get all of the correlation.

qwertyuiop  if you shift those three one to the left, you get qwertyuiop.  Easy enough.

qwer      shift that down slightly for qwer
.asdf                                          .asdf   do that twice, for AA.

uiop        shift those up & down for uiop
.jkl;                                           .jkl;
nm,.                                          nm,.          got that one, too.

But that leaves X left over.  Did I miss something, or just look at it too hard?

I solved it like this:

ww shift down to the left
lkx shift up to the right
ryw shift to right

but i knew what the clue was too.

Code, shmode, I'm just glad to have you all back in action!  :D

He, I got it now...

The first lines on the keyboard layout look something like...

qwertyuiop
  asdfghjkl
  zxcvbnm

below w is a, so "ww" becomes "aa". Above "l" "k" and "c" are "p" "o" and "d" making it "pod" and to the right of "r" "y" and "w" is "t" "u" and "e" making it TUE.

so, altogether the code is "aapodtue"

Edit: Ack, I got beaten to it. So much for me being fancy...

And for the record, I had this nailed, but prem confused me with some insane Beyonder VX alliance garbage yesterday evening while my brain was in a pudding-like state.

I hadn't commented a whole lot, or speculated much, but I want y'all to know that I was waiting with baited breath for the reveal (as I wasn't clever enough to hash it out myself).  Y'all are freakin' awesome!  This was great, and the new site looks fantastic!  I'm so glad that y'all aren't really retiring.  AA, now I see why you didn't release that Wonder Woman...ha, sorry for bugging you about it, that skope and skin are DEFINITELY worth the wait.  The new work looks wonderful, and I can't wait to see what's coming next!

pffft, your face is garbage. You didn't even have it figured out then until I pointed out how amazed I was at several people missing so many in your face clues. And then I once again tossed you into a loop by revealing a Beyonder/Vertex team-up. Go to your corner and think!  ;)

Heh, I'll do you one better... shortly after all the "I'm retiring" messages, I sent a PM to TUE offering him hosting for all his unreleased stuff, including doing any portraits, previews, and even readmes (Yes, I am that crazy).

Sigh.  I really do need to ad that update freedomforceforever.com main page, which is now rendered, once again obsolete.

Kudos to these guys to.  And kudos for me, for managing to keep my big mouth shut.  In fact, I'm surprised that no one pointed out that I would have to have known something about it.

Sorry, forgot about that crosspost.  Crossposts can be confusing, if understandable, at times.
