CG, I'm leaving you this webpage in case I don't get a chance to speak with you in person. While
surfing around the board last night, I stumbled upon something in the Links forum by newcomer
Floramel Gorse. A topic was posted under the name Chandria- Be Our Sister (link here)
and I was intrigued so I read the article and followed the link.
Now, the site is automated by an interactive flash movie, that includes clicking on a gate,
a door or two, typing in some kind of pledge, etc. (not necessarily in that order.) After that
is finished you have a choice of registering for this "sorority" or reading a bit more on it.
I chose the latter. It takes you into a "book" that feeds you a lot of empowering things (at least
for women) then disallows you to do anything else until you register. Now being apt at web surfing, I
decided to play around with the URL bar and see if I could gain access to the other books that were
previously unavailable. The site uses php however, it isn't as secure as I'm sure they'd like it to
be because over the course of 4 hours I was able to document 11 out of the 16 books they have available.
Now, I skimmed through these, and as of right now, I'm of the opinion that this is nothing more
serious than a weird girl-scout-like group, however, I thought it prudent to bring it to your attention
since it was advertised on the board. I don't know if this is a problem or not, but I thought it
better to get as much info about it as possible without actually sending someone through this to
see if it's legit or a fraud, or some weird kool-aid drinking cult. Of course, I'm assuming you
don't already know about this group. ;)
The following are the copies of the books I was able to rip off the site. I formatted them similar to
internet protocol specs, however they should be easy enough to read through. They are ordered in the way
they are presented on the site (2 rows, starting from the upper left, going to the upper right, continuing
on the lower left, and finishing on the lower right.) Also, I did these up hastily, so you might want to
open the file in something like notepad with word-wrap enabled (or a similar program that has word-wrapping
capability.)
