What do you mean, it is just a site that directs you toward the regular site isn't it?

I am thinking he is just making a good way to promote his story, and it is pretty nice of him to link the real dharma site, much more than i can say for a lot of dharma fake sites.

Its definately a real site, but its nothing to do with dharam i think, and his name being jacob for once is just a coincidence in my opinion, but it was nice of him to redirect to the site, i find it funny the creaters of the site never took that web address.

I think it's fake as Dharma is spelt darma in the address, great find though.

This guy is known as a "cybersquatter' The only difference between him and other squatters is that he is redirecting you to the correct site. Of course he does a little advertising in there, too, but at least it's not an out and out trick.

You dont think this has nothing to do with the game. He posted a novel. Bad Twin anyone? He also has the Numbers listed there as well as other numbers. If you check out the novel all the chapter names have numbers in them This doesnt smell like CLUE to anyone else.

While I'm saving an official opinion until I have more information, I tend to agree. I've read through the first couple of chapters, and there's already mention of playing certain lottery numbers, time travel, the purchase of airplane tickets, and the fact that the author's name is (supposedly) Jacob. I'm not ruling it out just yet. And as I believe someone mentioned somewhere before, even it it turns out to be a dead end, it does serve to entertain us while we wait for the definite clues to turn up. :P

All I got was a black screen that says coming soon or something like that. The weird thing I do remember is that it said something about how it was not affiliated with World of Warcraft :S What does Dharma have to do with WOW?

WoW has less than nothing to do with Lost or DI....

That's just someone being silly, methinks.

Hmmm... I'm no expert, and I'm new to most of this type of thing, but I found this interesting, and was hoping someone with a little more knowledge could tell me if I'm crazy or not.

WhoIs information for dharmawantsyou.com:

http://who.godaddy.com/WhoIs.aspx?domai ... id=godaddy

And WhoIs information for dharmainitiative.com:

http://who.godaddy.com/WhoIs.aspx?domai ... id=godaddy

Notice the similarities? Does this mean anything?
