Ah, trying to copy frvade I see. The only problem is that he wrote his web pages in pure HTML, so the source code was a much better source of info.

I don’t see what’s so Merovingian about it. Is it 1,500 years out of date? Or at least French?

Sorry, must have been notpron, which frvade is based on. You do realize your first level is identical to notpron's...

Sry but there is no "[FONT="Arial Black"]first level"[/FONT] there is only one level in the riddle soooo.... i don't understand what you are talking about

But, if you are talking about the opening page with the rose, that is meant to be easy, it shouldn't be a riddle, the riddle starts later!

It seemed pretty obvious to me, with with him being "themerovingian."

Wait, so if it isn't yours, why is it relevant that you hadn't seen frvade?

No matter whether you made it or not, it's a poorly made ripoff of notpron and frvade, and all of your six posts have come from this thread. Please post something constructive or leave.

Jesus guys, lighten up. If you don't like the puzzle he posted, or if you think it's a poor derivative of another puzzle, fine, but don't tell the poor guy to leave. He says he didn't create the page, just found it. What's the big deal?

Definition of a spam post: Someone creates a new user name to post a link or advertisement to something they often claim to have no connection to.

This post: This guy created a new user name just to post a link to a site which was likely made by him but he claimed he had no connection to.

He addressed me personally in a PM and I replied, telling him he was more than welcome to stay if he would post constructive.

Why would I post my a riddle called TheMerovingian and then adopt the username: TheMerovingian

Don't think that would attract attention to begin a spamer???? IF I was a spammer then why would I attract attention to myself like that? hun? solve that riddle!
