Before you guys post anymore email addresses check this out:
http://macheist.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=4430

Trying to obfuscate your email by making it "topgun at whitehouse dot gov" makes spammers able to harvest your emails through google.
You see, in Google and most mainstream search engines, the symbol, "@", is not able to be searched so when you do the "* at * dot com" thing, spammers can get your emails much easier. Doing a google search for "* at * dot com" brings in "27 million email addresses that wouldn’t be available on Google if they were not obfuscated."

Moral of the story, use this protocol:

Johndoe@gmail@com

An update for you guys. Possibly a bitter one, but I'd rather update you than keep you in the dark.

Basically, Groupthink as it WAS has been dismantled, and retooled into something very, very different. The new project as is won't be accepting memberships by invitation, and will in fact be largely closed. (Hard to explain now, it'll be much clearer later.)

On that note, I would recommend you guys delete your emails here to protect against spam.

Those who don't, however, will be invited early into a Heist related event about to rear its head, so hey, that's something.

I'll be posting here probably sometime in the next couple weeks the full designs / idea for the project as it was, and hopefully announcing the new Groupthink by the end of the summer.

So, that's it for now. I'll keep you guys posted.

Sent your Pownce invite.

Groupthink invites? Maybe... if you're a really talented programmer or designer.

So, can you please, please, please, please show us the original designs and idea now? I was really looking forward to the old groupthink and the least you can do to ease my mind is give us some info!

Thanks for creating wonderful, er, web-2.0-mac-fun-software-puzzles.

It was the first one. Before they changed it to a nondescript login page. You could even create an account. I made an account, but then they wiped it clean. Here are the directories:
http://projectgroupthink.com/images/
http://projectgroupthink.com/js/
compare those with the screenshots.
