In summary, the conversation is about trying to decrypt a graphic with a message. The first person is having trouble accessing the photo and suggests trying a different method. The second person mentions that the graphic needs to be approved by moderators first. They suggest trying again later or hosting it themselves. The third person guesses the message and the second person explains how they decoded it using frequency analysis and substitutions. The third person comments on the choice of the phrase and the second person explains their reasoning for using it.

Umm - it says I don't have sufficient priviledges to access the photo. Can you maybe post it in a different way or tell my computer to stop being insane?

Or, is that the decryption process you're talking about? I try to look at it and it never opens..

I believe it has to first be approved by moderators. This is the case in the General Discussion forum.

Try again later. If still not, I'll poke a moderator about it.

Edit: Never mind, I decided to just host it myself. See first post for link.

Is it "all your base are belong to us"?

You tell me. Are you guessing?

How would guess that? No, I used the frequencies shown on http://www.prism.net/user/dcowley/analysub.html" (among others) and did a few substitutions until something started to make sense. Well, as much sense as this famous quote can make. :wink:

Yeah, I figured it would be solved backwards. I should have chosen a less well-known phrase to defeat that. I was hoping it would be solved by figuring out the cypher.
