Hey everyone. The world is going to end on December 17, 2015 at exactly 2:44 PM GMT. Please TG for payment details.


Pfft. Amateur. Everybody knows it's ending in 2012. Duh.

Nah, the Mayan calendar ends, not the world. The world will last another 3 years after that.

There's nothing saying you can't start a competing service.... For business methods to be patentable there has to be a technologically innovative and unique element to the model. There is nothing technologically innovative in the service they offer, so there is nothing saying you can't start a competing website... As long as you don't use their name or any of their logos.

It makes you wonder what his followers will do.

I'm hoping they'll sue him for fraud.

Because... Let's face it, that's what he is.


I'm worried about the fanatical ones that sold everything and gave away most of the money. I mean, if you think about what they lost, he's just as bad as Madoff.

Knowing them, they're expecting it to happen 6 PM American time. These groups are often America-centric.


Maybe it'll only take place in America? Most of these groups don't seem to realise there's more Earth outside of the US.

12:29PM US Eastern Time, Wilmington, North Carolina

As the news that the rapture prediction failed more miserably than Sarah Palin at an off-the-cuff interview, people here in this port town along North Carolina's southeastern coast continued to enjoy the rather warm mid-Spring day by taking to the beach, going to the park, or otherwise enjoying their lives. With a 2-page ad in the local newspaper (The Wilmington Star News), Harold Camping and his followers promoted his doomsday theory to the 300,000 person metro area. News organizations like CNN, MSNBC and Fox News continued to keep the story interesting by constantly reporting that nothing is happening. Citizens have been assured that New Zealand, Australia, India, Eastern Europe are all still alive and well.

The only explaination that works is that Mr. Camping is a fake.

Yea, I'm sure, for a lot of people the world over, it did end. People die! Since I'm typing this and you're reading this: we're not dead yet. Of course the day is only half over... :clap:

And there we go! Britain has been rapt, with a total uptake of 0 (same for Ireland, Iceland, Portugal, Morocco, etc.) The total of saved for the world so far is also 0. The terrible earthquake is spreading across the world as planned, scoring 0 on the Richter Scale. All is going as Camping planned.

Likely scenario, some will sneak off quietly and never mention it... The rest will buy into his discovering yet another mathematical error in his original prophetic interpretations, along with new revelation of yet another number he can throw into his equation to set the date again.... Over the intervening years, he will then begin to pick up people from the former group who forgot how gullible they themselves were the previous one or two times, along with newly hatched idiots who are but children now, or may not even be born yet.

Maybe it works like a double negative. Which means that everyone in Texas is going to turn into liberal homosexuals.

One can only hope...
