This is a long read, but I figured you'd enjoy it. I found this on an ARG Forum breaking down the website
www.1-18-08.com. Here's a link to the site:

Ok.
There are 5 photos on 1-18-08.com. You can go there to view them, or see u4ik's ref thread to see them. The pictures can be rotated, stacked, unstacked, and flipped. 2 have writing on the back.
1. Posted 7/2 or 7/3, subject to debate, 7/3 being the night of the debut of the trailer. Theory is that the picture was posted 7/3 for that reason.
Shows two girls, believed to be Lily Ford and Marlena Diamond.(credit- uF member glove) The timestamp on the picture is 1/18/08 12:36A
2. Posted 7/6
Shows the going away party. Rob Hawkins is centered, surrounded by the other guests. JJ Hawkins, or "Hawk" as he calls himself on his Myspace, or as his brother refers to him, Jason, is seen holding a glass to Rob's lips. Also seen in the photo to the right hand side is a mysterious figure who almost looks CGI. The "number" on his/her shirt is considered to be debunked as lighting on the bricks on the wall behind the group. On the back is a note, "Don't forget who takes care of you! Love, J". This is credited to Rob's brother Jason. The timestamp on the picture is 1/18/08 12:01A
3. Posted 7/12
Over exposed, very white photo. 4 people are visible, but basically only their outlines. Presumed destruction in the background. It's been determined there is nothing to see in this picture, it just keeps the timeline moving. The timestamp on the picture is 1/18/08 12:48A.

i'd like to correct this if i may, while it does look like there is nothing of merit in this image, if you put it into photoshop or similar and darken down the image the man at the back in the middle( i assume its a man, sorry) appears to be ina position of holding or aiming a rifle, his right arm is out at an angle and is bent (you can see his elbow), his left arm is covered by his body but judging by the shape of his left sholder it would suggest his arm is being held out in front in the position to support the front section of a rifle/shotgun, the other figures are all running towards the camera he is not, instread facing towards what ever is coming in this direction. also his aim seems high which reinforces the hight of the monster
other than that yes there is nothing much to this image.

Blurry picture, shows more destruction. In the foreground a uniformed member of the military can be seen, holding an assault rifle. This might be a key. Military response was quick, based off of the timestamp of 1-18-08 1:24A
5. Posted 7/26 or 7/27, subject to debate. JJ Abrams appeared at ComiCon in San Diego on the 26th. Reason would state the picture was revealed late that night, but there is no solid proof.
This picture shows(from L to R) Jamie Lascano, Hudson "Hud" Platt, and Rob Hawkins. The other other photo to this point with writing on the back, this one reads- in the top right corner- "Lascano, Platt, and Robbie, January 2008". The middle of the picture reads- "Robbie, Here, use this photo to send a message of my hotness far and wide!!! I'm gonna miss the hell out of ya!! Love, Jamie" The photo is timestamped 1-18-08 12:04A. Any speculation or information sought from these photos are in the [SPEC] TRAILER/PICS ANALYSIS thread, started by tinag222.
Picture 5 "broke the 'game' open." Using simple deduction, the myspace pages for 6 of the characters from the movie were found. The first was Jamie Lascano. Based off of the name Jamie and 2 possible last names, she wasn't hard to find. Using her myspace, and checking her friends, the following were found.

2 members of uF, MrToasty and HetMasteen started threads showing all 6 Myspace accounts. The threads merged as one. Since finding these pages, we have discovered that the characters(or at least someone masquerading as the characters) have been logging in and checking messages, comments, and friend requests. If you send the characters a message, please note that for the integrity of the game, they will probably not respond if you ask them questions about the movie. A logical thought posted by member jojo here is that perhaps the right questions will lead to the answers we seek. Just think logically!! Smile The [NEW]MySpace Accounts thread started by MrToasty contains all speculation and information about the MySpace pages themselves, and messages to and from the characters in the movie.
