And we get to John Titor.
I followed this when it broke back in 2000. A guy shows up on message boards claiming to be from the future.
Part Termintaor, part back to the Future, it was a brilliant story, and it soon had a life of its own.
The immersive nature of the story and following it on the website soon had people eagerly following it.
Worth a look - brilliant story.
here's the background off Wiki.
John Titor is the name used on several bulletin boards during 2000 and 2001 by a poster claiming to be a time traveler from 2036.[1]
In these posts, Titor made numerous predictions (a number of them vague, some quite specific[2]) about events in the near future, starting with events in 2004. He described a drastically changed future in which the United States had broken into five smaller regions, the environment and infrastructure had been devastated by a nuclear attack, and most other world powers had been destroyed.
To date, the story has been retold on numerous web sites, in a book, in a play, and the Japanese visual novel/anime Steins;Gate. Titor has also been discussed occasionally on the nationally-syndicated radio show Coast to Coast AM.[3]
