DonationCoder.com Avatar Mysteries

[mouser]

I was thinking we might need a thread to unravel some of the avatar mysteries of users on the forum..

The avatar that inspired this post was this one from DC forum member Gothi[c] who helps out with DonationCoder.com server administration:


Can anyone decode the secret message?

[Renegade]

YOU HAVE TO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS

Now, in my defense, it only took me a couple minutes...

Nice work renegade -- and what about the last page?

Nice work renegade -- and what about the last page?

Code: (generic)

ZCZC
ZNY SSSSS
DE J
FM Mr J
TO DC

I figured that it was just some kind of internal joke and didn't even bother to try figuring it out. The rest of the message I recognized immediately, but took a couple minutes to write down as I scrolled through the frames.

Well the "J" must be "Jessie"  

[mouser]

Gothi[c]'s real first name is John, so i think the last 2 lines simply say "From John, To DC"
but the first 3 lines have my stumped.

I figured probably "From J to DC", but that was pretty obvious. I didn't know what "J" was though. And as with you, the first 3 lines have me wondering. Base-26? Makes no sense. There's an inside joke there. I just don't get it.

I did wonder about "DE J" being "DJ", but... still no clue.

[kunkel321]

Maybe "DE" = "German?"

[app103]

Maybe "DE" = "German?"

German J = JoTo?

[Gothi[c]]

That 'last' page was intended to be first, as a message header/intro.
It's not really encoded at all.
I'm sure someone will figure it out

Think brevity codes....

JOSH DE GOTHIC....PLS 2 SOLVE PUZZLE...PLS QSL...JOSH...KKKK

ZCZC is the start of a transmission...
ZNY means to not forward the message on an unecrypted net
