John
- Thread starter SamuelT
- Start date
I can't find an exact date (and i don't have the time to sort through all the posts to look for one) but Titor was born sometime before July 27,1998, the day 38 year old Titor showed up at his parent's house. Reading the introduction to "John Titor - A Time Traveler's Tale" states that in January of 2003 Titor was 5 years old, meaning his birth date falls somewhere between Jan 1997 and Jan 1998. In one of his posts, Titor specifically states he was born in 1998, narrowing a birthday down to sometime in January 1998. As for location, it's somewhere in Florida where he lived up until 1999.
Hope that helps.

John Titor states to have been born in 1998 in Tampa, Florida USA. (Note: This is the first controversy that appears about the truthfulness of his accounts due to the fact that investigations carried out by his supporters show of no family with that surname that lived in Tampa during that period).

It doesn't matter what site you go to it will always be the same story.
I did not speak to him personally.
Exactly what were you trying to reliably check?

SamuelT,
Here's part of Titor's post on 6-FEB-2001 ("I am from 2036", Post-2-Post ):
When Titor started posting in November of 2000 he said that his younger self was two years old. In December he was still refering to his younger self as being 2 years old.
Here's part of Titor's 10-DEC-2000 post here ("Time Travel Paradoxes"):
On 10-DEC-2000 he's still refering to his younger self as 2 years old (or more precisely, he's accepting the the premise that his younger self is still 2 years old).
If his birthday was in December of 1998 he would have been 1 year old when Titor started posting in November and not 2 years old as Titor stated in his November and December, 2000 posts.
Therefore for him to be 3 years old on 6-FEB-2001 the birthday has to be between 1-JAN and 6-FEB 1998..

SamuelT,
Titor/TTO didn't actually indicate where he was born. He said that he lived in Central Florida, was stationed in Tampa and went to school at "Fort UF" (University of Florida) and that he lived on a large river with access to the Gulf.
Tampa is on the West central coast, the University of Florida is in Gainesville in Northern Florida and Orlando-Celebration-Kissimmee is Central Florida.

Thanks very much. I find such a hoax very interesting, though the name John Titor still puzzles me.
Kanigo2: Don't worry, you wouldn't find what I'm checking that interesting. Though one question for you, what makes you think "Titor" was his real name?
In addition, perhaps one could answer me this. Apparantly you've had other people claiming to be time travellers. Do any of them claim to be recreational time travellers? Perhaps from the 2080s or onwards?

I just wanted to make sure I am reading about the right guy. That's all. See, not that interesting. Oh, and by the way, by my first question I was referring to how you said there is no Titor family in Florida. That may be what you meant, and if so sorry if I misunderstood.

Titor was born according to him (her) in 1998. (and he also visited Disneyland when he was young.)
It's a Disney World.
Now, really don't you think that in a similiar fashion, the political candidates for Presidency look somewhat similiar to Mickey Mouse? Now really, take a close look when President Bush is smiling also.

SamuelT,
Re. Titor's name:
He was TimeTravel_0 on this site. In his second post he asked about posting his photos on a site where he didn't have to register or reveal personal data about himself. When he started posting on this site we didn't have to register ito post. We could just pick a handle and start posting.
Later on he wanted to post on Art Bell's forum, Post-2-Post. But that site required a first and last name in order to register as well as an email account from a "regular" Internet provider. No HotMail accounts allowed. In order to register he chose a first and last name - John Titor (Time Travel Or) and had a friend allow him to use her AOL email account. AOL allowed five email accounts per Internet account. He chose the email name [email protected]. He used that email account to register on Post-2-Post.
Titor said a few times that John Titor wasn't his birth name and he asked members not to start annoying people in Florida whose last name was Titor by emailing them, calling them, snailmailing them or knocking on their front door.
BTW: Why he chose to use an AOL account in 2001 is a bit of a mystery. At that time AOL's internal security was...shall we say...a bit lax. At that time, while I wasn't posting on this site I was also involved in a massive online game. The AOL accounts had time limits. After exceeding your monthly minutes you started paying a premium per hour charge. I knew people in the game who would spend anywhere from 5 hours a night during the week and 12-18 hours a day on weekends and holidays in the game. In other words, for the hardcore player who was really into developing their in-game character it was expensive. Many of us were paying $100-$300 a month to play. We knew of a few people who had AOL accounts who also had inside contacts at AOL - boyfriends, girlfriends, pals, etc. - who could get into their accounts at the AOL side and either change them to comp accounts or delete the online time.
With that sort of security how hard would it have been for one of those same people to have the friend get into the [email protected] account and provide them with the owner's information? Not very hard at all.

You were paying 100-300 dollars a month on AOL??? Dang glad I wasn't on AOL back then that really sucks. John didn't use an AOL account when he emailed me.
Maybe he didn't use that AOL account much. Maybe he even knew that account later would be exposed by Art Bell. Maybe he even got someone else to email it to Art. The possibilities are endless. LOL /ttiforum/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I was paying at the low end of the range. It was a combination of AOL premium charges and the game charges (which also had hourly premium rates after the monthly "allowance" was used up).
Through market forces (competition) both the game and the ISP's went to flat rates sometime in 2001.

Quoting SamuelT @ 07/28/08 11:51 PM :
Did it ever occur to you that the units were timelocked? Mainly because their instructors thinkbthey're all high and mighty and don't trust you even AFTER the full 60 hours of time training.
I've done what I needed to do. I'm jumping ahead a week. What's that about 168 hours?
See you in a week.

You seem to be toying with the line between TT discussion and making a TT claim. If you wish to continue to pretend you are a TTer, then I suggest when you "return in a week" you land in the TT Claims forum. OK?
