I was going to say that each of the posts that the aether “timestamps” refer to also have a number in them, but @Robert’s doesn’t. I’m a little lost too.

Unless you count “none” as “zero”. But that may be a bit of a stretch

Oh geez, roberts post is giving me flashbacks from when I was a new mountaineer and didn’t know what to do 
But, if you are going with that roberts post is zero… then uh… it would be…
5 3 0 2 30 so 530230. I put the numbers in order from the earliest to the latest date

Maybe I missed something, have we tried to use the first or first and second words of each post chronologically?

Well the first five words are ‘if’ ‘absolutely’ ‘none’ ‘the’ and ‘Hmm’. I don’t see a real sentence to be formed from that, but it’s a good idea.
Just to organize this a bit better in my own head here are the 5 posts arranged two ways. One by the order they appear in this thread and the other by the order of the dates edited into them. I figure either (or neither) could be it.
In order the edited posts appear in this thread
Robert - edited post and post it’s talking about (October 11th, 10:18am)
Kelsey - edited post and post it’s talking about (November 26th, 9:00pm)
Mike - edited post and post it’s talking about (August 10, 7:25pm.)
Revenir - edited post and post it’s talking about (December 6th, 7:45pm)
Endri - edited post and post it’s talking about (September 2nd, 4:17pm)
In order of the dates put into the posts
Mike - edited post and post it’s talking about (August 10, 7:25pm.)
Endri - edited post and post it’s talking about (September 2nd, 4:17pm)
Robert - edited post and post it’s talking about (October 11th, 10:18am)
Kelsey - edited post and post it’s talking about (November 26th, 9:00pm)
Revenir - edited post and post it’s talking about (December 6th, 7:45pm)

Speaking of dates, It could be that we’re looking for a time and date similar to what Aether edited into each of these posts. The Aether’s handle has 8 Xs which could stand in for that date and time. On the @Robert post you mention PMing Endri. The “PM” of that post could indicate that part of the time. None of the other posts have any times, numbers, or dates that I could see except for Kelsey’s which has the word “Monday.” So, shot in the dark.

Well Ive been playing with numbers a bit. These are the ones I see.
Robert - None Maybe 0? pm
Kelsey - Two Monday
Mike - Five (Also Score which = 20)
Revenir - Thirty
Endri - Third
In order to make an 8 digit number I need all of them. In this order its 02520303 in post order its 52030230
Neither
http://kemetic.solutions/8464o46s/02520303
or
http://kemetic.solutions/8464o46s/52030230/
go anywhere. But notice they don’t redirect to the intro page either? I’m assuming this is the format we want.

And Kelsey mentions Monday which could also work. Could be “03”

I reached out to Aether… nothing.
I thought if a Gossmere reached out they would be more likely to respond. But it looks like while I’ve been doing that yall have made amazing progress!

No, and @Bash says the account was never approved by another leader. It just appeared two days ago.

Reminds me of the book of briars account. Do we think this is strictly the books doing or some other force?

That’s a good question. The Book usually isn’t shy about letting us know that it’s trying to help us, but this could be someone like the Last Traveler >sniff< 
trying to point us in the right direction. Whether for our gains or theirs remains to be seen.

Don’t know. Best way to find out is figure out what it’s trying to tell us. Then we’ll see if it’s helpful or not.
I’m not 100% sure what it’s trying to say, but let’s go with the best idea we have, that this is a date we’re looking for. Perhaps we’re looking for a date to format to add to the url, or maybe we’re trying to create a date of another post and Aether modified a post somewhere else on the forum and put the clue there.
Either way, we have to start somewhere.
We believe we’re looking for a Monday, and if it’s a post on this forum it’s between August 1st, 2016 and today.
The numbers we definitely have are 2, 5, 30 and 3. (We might also have 20 if the word ‘score’ is added)
If one of the numbers has to be the month, and one the day and we need a monday then that gives us…
February(2) 20th , with 5, 3, and 30 left over
March(3) 20th, with 5, 2, and 30 left over
I don’t see any other possible mondays with these numbers. I believe I’ve looked at all the posts from Feb 20th, and March 20th if 2017 and I don’t see any edits.

My guess is it’s probably an agent of the book. They’re using similar tactics to the book (only editing posts, not communicating with us), so it seems like they’re more a force of magic.
The book did mention that the fragment’s reaching out. Maybe something is preventing it from directly connecting with the book, whatever the darkness is. I think if it was a double agent, they’d probably be more vocal, like Reader was.

Something to consider - if a post was edited, it’s probably someone who isn’t currently active with this fragment. Unless aether is able to hide notifications, then the person should have been notified when their post was edited. So my guess is it’s someone who isn’t on the forums right now and can’t let us know that their post was edited.
I thought I’d mention that, since it’ll make scrolling through posts a bit easier.

This could be waaaaay too simple, but maybe something related to this fragment will happen the afternoon of Monday, April 3. And the most likely times would be 2:30 and 5:30 PM. That leaves the question of the time zone.
Also none of the dates used in the edits fell on a Monday in 2016, nor will they this year.
