Are you a border?

We moved on from Ajkin.com to drizjr's first discovery- areyouaborder.com, another cryptic site. AYAB showed a slide show of pictures from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven." At the bottom, a text input box, and a submit button. HetMasteen made up a pretty good summary of what we saw, complete with screenshots of each image. With everything we throw into the box, we're taken to eye.html, merely a series of pictures that show an eyeball, and then a raven flying away, eye in his beak. Later on(I'll explain how we found it in a future post) we discovered that "red earth" didn't take us to eye.html, but rather to earth.html, the same sequence as eye, but with a small Earth in the raven's beak. We begin digging to try to find out what might be pertinent about the pictures we're seeing. We found out that the images were Magic Lantern slides. Call it a predecessor to moving pictures. We found out through much digging(and I'm sorry, I can't find in the forums where) that the slides for The Raven's Magic Lantern were painted by Joeseph Boggs Beale, proclaimed by victoriana.com to be American's first great screen artist. We never really got too far into the site before drizjr discovered via a reverse IP search that there was a very similar URL to AYAB- www.areyouabordernevermore.com. AYABN automatically redirected to our next site, and our biggest puzzles up to that point, at www.blackhillsradiocontrol.org.
