I'm not going to tell anyone how I got onto this page, if you want me not to.

I tried to ban myself, didn't work (duuh). I see it's mounted on "L". I typed "dir", but it doesn't let me use the command. Anyway, what's its purpose?

Does it have any other purpose? Are there even working commands?

That's all the info you're going to get from me, because it is an easter egg ;)

I will say that it is a few years old, so I have no idea how well it still works.

*sigh* I'll try to find out myself.

Don't post them here! It's more fun if people can discover it themselves.

Deleted. Are there any other easter eggs?

Yes ;) There's more commands the DOS prompt supports, and there's a few to be found through the site as well.

No more hints, the code is obvious. It's used so frequently in games...

Nice, starting to like it.
Nothing hidden in the source, what a shame.

Violet CLM's name is Sam Shemitz. I'm pretty sure he has a FB account as well.
I'm a level 2 user? I didn't know that. ... Aww, everyone's level 2.

The "login" command says "Insufficient user privileges for user GUEST. This incident will be reported."

I feel being watched, so I guess I had enough of it :|

I'm sure I've seen this before(I think I discovered it a couple of years ago, bookmarked it, PC died, and I forgot about this easter egg).
I've messed around with it a bit. Pretty fun, although I couldn't find any easter eggs outside what the help shows(I tried a bunch of stuff such as prefixing a command with "sudo"(I apologise if this is a bad thing to do; I assumed it would do something silly/funny), several JJ2 cheatcodes, a couple of random JJ2 general things).

One question: Is it possible to browse the forums using this, or can it only do some silly J2O-related things?

EDIT: Bug report. The clock is one minute behind.

The clock is based on your local time :P

You can view downloads, pictures and user info with it at this point, and some other assorted things. It's not linked to the JCF.
