What is the origin and purpose of the Forgotten Languages blog?

Trevor Collins 0:01
In 2009, a mysterious website was launched featuring cryptic new languages that only the admin could understand. Since then, the contributors to the site have grown to 43 people who have collectively posted almost every day for 17 years. Each post in one of several dozen unknown languages about topics ranging from quantum physics to dreams to alien technology and beyond. So what is this website for? Who's behind it? And what does it all mean? Today, we dive down the rabbit hole of the Forgotten Languages blog. This is Red Web.

Welcome back, Task Force Boy. We got a doozy for you today. I am your resident mystery enthusiast Trevor Collins and joining me hearing this case for the very first time, Alfredo Diaz.
Alfredo Diaz 0:57
This feels like a throwback. Mm-hmm. I am very in right now. I'm plugged in. There's a site created. And it's got languages, but only the admin understands the language, which already, why create the site? I don't do you know what I mean? If you're the only one that understands it. Great question. Put that one down. Question one. And then now there's 43 people. Yeah. How they get access? Uh-huh. How do they understand the language? How do they write? Yep. Like, and and then now they seem like buff scientists.
Trevor Collins 1:32
And now they're rippling from mind to toe.
Alfredo Diaz 1:35
Yeah, dude. Just like it's a wild trip. It's wild, but also I don't know, is are these a bunch of People that are just seeing past the veil. Are these a bunch of people with different experience like weird experiences that are all coming together? I don't know. How do you get vetted for this? Like, I want to see like a documentary on that, like trying to get vetted into this group. Because what what is this group? Like, what do you mean?
Trevor Collins 2:03
It just riddled with questions. And honestly, Task Force, this is very much a throwback. I know a lot of people have wanted us to revisit internet mysteries and things. And I can't believe we haven't done this one earlier. This reminds me so much all the way back to episode one, Lake City Quiet Pills, episode I think two and three, Sakita 3301, uh Voynich manuscript. We talked about that. It is so cryptic, so mysterious, and I I think it's so daunting. That's why it's just sat in our notes page for so long. Forgotten Languages blog. We'll check that out someday. Uh, I didn't realize how deep this rabbit hole goes. It essentially attaches to almost every topic we've talked about. You know, we uncover true crime, internet mysteries, the unknown, the gambit.
Trevor Collins 2:50
And this one touches into a lot of the unknown. Known and the paranormal, supernatural kind of world. It is, it's very interesting, but we will explore every nook and cranny when we get to the theories because you are right, Fredo. It is a mind melter of questions from top to bottom. And no matter how you approach it, all the theories do kind of make sense. We're back in the saddle of those early days where I actually find this very interesting. When I first took you through those, Fredo. You had no idea where I was gonna take you on this ride called Red Web. Now it's been six years. You've been miyoggied to a ask these questions, to to poke and prod and try to think about it. And so I'm very it's almost like I I plucked you out of time and took you back.
Trevor Collins 3:36
And now we get to do an internet mystery through a different lens. I'm excited.
Alfredo Diaz 3:41
Yeah, it's gonna be very fun. I don't know, this seems like uh maybe we're calling it ahead of time. It seems like a staple of an episode. The the potential is there.
Trevor Collins 3:49
It's been a long time since I've been up past midnight working on an outline. And the more I looked at this one, and Kat did an amazing job laying the foundation, but the more I looked at this one, the more I just kept finding. I was looking at resources up until right before we recorded this. So I in no way is it possible for me to uncover every nook and cranny. We might have to come back to this in a part two, but I'm gonna be doing my best to be as exhaustive as possible. To get everything broken down. So we're going to go through the website, what it is, a quick, well, thorough overview of what this website is, the origins, and then some of the topics that they explore, because boy, do they cover a lot of different topics.
