Has anyone else noticed who Johnathan Hayter is?

I just found a neat thing on the Escapist:

Spoiler

There is a web page on the escapist tagged with the mens' names from the review. It even has all the clues so far as tags as well!

HOLY-
WOW.
WOOOW.
Guys, this is definitely a lead! As long as the mods don't try to take my comment down mumble grumble... D:<

Oh my God

Spoiler

Every mod that has been a part of this puzzle's forum has commented on this, and each of them has capitalization errors. Only i'm You'd Making OYIM. My god if this isn't a blue herring this is so complex.
Edit: Missed a couple capitalization errors, TOYIJM

Yes, the escapist page with the tags is likely a clue, as the only people to comment are some mods that like to brag around here. Though I don't think it's the only one... there's an article with no comments by the person who wrote the review we've been looking at. It has the words "Very" "Nerdy, White Geek" "Like" "Dislike" "Interesting" "Hip To The Jive" and "Tight" bolded. Maybe there's some connection? The only thing my mind thought was Weird Al's White and Nerdy... I may be wrong, but it's a possibility.

I hope this isn't giving away too much.

Oh, wow. I just got an idea!

Mod Note - Not cute

I think there might be some interesting things on the website the capital letters lead to.....

it looks like there's a hole there....

 

[RandallJohn]

This is probably reading too much into it, but all the capital letters in the comments on

Spoiler

Try placing that between www and com. You get an... interesting site with a big hole in it.

 

[Chrmike]

Sorry thy name is mud. I didn't think about it being obvious. I'll be more careful next time I promise.

You call it hinting, but we call it collectively thinking. If you didn't want us to unravel your whole conspiracy, then just ban us right now! Otherwise, I'd like to continue solving the puzzle, please.

Interesting.

Spoiler

Googling that brings up an Escapist thread as its second result.

 

[inundation1]

Yep

Looks like we have to define an "answer" from the faces and then insert it in the URL bar for the next step

 

[TheAmazingTGIF]

Well I am too tired to be going through the eniter

Zero Punctuation

catalog. Maybe tomorrow?

 

[Hashime]

The page source on the hole web page ends with http: so I would say we are on the right track.

People will be searching these forums for clues, you're posting answers to step 4. That's not fair to those who haven't gone through the first few steps. Hint toward the answer, don't post the answer.

Hmm, I wonder if it's relevant that

the pictures are arranged in a shape related to a certain precious metal (which happens to be present in the frame of the first picture)?

Getting a little uncreative with your file name there boys. Now to find out what THESE numbers mean.

 

[Yomandude]

hmmm... well, I can't argue with that. We're kind of at a dead end anyway, Mud, so don't worry about it.
