Although there is debate over the exact date it started, on November 02, 2000, a person calling themselves Timetravel_0, and later John Titor, started posting on a public forum that he was a time traveler from the year 2036.
One of the first things he did was post pictures of his time machine and its operations manual. As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the old Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation.
On March 24, 2001, John Titor told us he would be leaving our time and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who John Titor was and why he was online continues to this day.
Although it may be easy to dismiss all this as science fiction, most people who read his posts agree that there is something very haunting about John Titor and what he said. In addition, and open to more debate, he also made a series of predictions and comments that eerily seem to be coming true.

Hmmm thats quite cool, looking forward to 2005 to see if it happens.

Anything that doesnt come true can be passed off that this is a different worldline. I dont believe it for a second though. I mean how`many people actually think it MIGHT be true?

I think it is someone trying to scare people into doing something to improve the world around them, before these "predictions" come true.
But I agree with Rosie, smells of cows poo to me.

I think it's bullshit, but it's good bullshit all the same
if the Olympics are cancelled in 2004, I will, however, worry!

Ripped from another site.
Commentary from Something Awful puts this in perspective:
So there's a civil war in America in which the country folk rise up against the fiendish city slickers. Russia, obviously being a part of this civil war, decides to launch nukes at the U.S., China, and Europe as a whole. ... Despite the loss of three billion lives worldwide, things return to normal almost immediately, and within another twenty years, the scientists who have nothing to do, ... perfect time travel. Man, it's a good thing all of those brilliant scientists and their labs were all based out in the open country, nowhere near any of the major cities, or they might not have been able to send some randomly chosen guy back in time to chat on the internet!
We are in contact with a friend of John's and we are actively trying to get the video but so far we have been unable to get a copy. Appearently our contact has failed to get ahold of his parents to get a copy of the video. Our contact also believes their email is being watched so we are trying to make arrangements to facilitate better communication. Please stay tuned...
I found the above on another site. This was posted on 16th April 2001. Strange that no one has got a copy of the video and the last post after that was a week later then there is nothing after that! Does this add fuel to the chance that this may be bullshit?

Obviously it's bullshit, but it's still interesting stuff.
He doesn't say the olympics will be cancelled in 2004, though, he says it's 2008.

It is bullshit, seeing as I have travelled back from 2050, and the world is fine.
That is if you all wish to worship me, if not then you shall all DIE!!!
Muuahahahahahahahahaaaa!
It seems a lot like astrology to me, they make very wild suggestions etc and millions of people fall into the catagory (e.g. you will be in a happy mood today) so people being to believe it, like pauly i think it is a load of shit but it is quite interesting and i will be looking forward to 2005.

My younger son has made a time machine with his friends. It is sitting in my front garden. He jumped on it this morning and said he wanted to go forward in time by 30 mins, I told him to get dressed for school otherwise he would be late, and even later if he activated the time machine. Im getting a digital camera sometime within the next week, so I will post a photo of it for you all to see.

I forgot to mention this bit, my older son, when the younger one said it was a time machine (I had asked what the hell was that thing in the garden) said, how can it be a time machine, it doesnt have a watch on it
kidz really are fun
it could still work, as long as it has a flux capacitor.

This is true. Although I suggest you get him to put a watch/clock on if you dont want to lose him to a random point in time therefore not knowing if he's early or late for tea.
And don't forget to wind the watch, that was almost Ted Theodore Logan's undoing.
