It's been posted before, but probably long forgotten. This site is sufficiently awesome that it warrants a new thread.

http://www.notpron.com

Please do not post level urls or any answers!!
Hints are fine but only in
+ Show Spoiler +
I've been playing the game off and on, it's good for years of fun if you take it slow and don't spoil it for yourself. There's no point in trying to cheat your way through it. You don't have to solve a riddle right away. Just take a break and come back to it, EVENTUALLY you'll figure it out. Guaranteed. I spent two years on one of the riddles. No lie.

I'm currently at level 96 (please refer to high levels in this manner, so you don't spoil anything). I intend to finish this before I die. Good luck guys, and more importantly, have fun.

Taken from the notpron site:

Player Quotes:
"Hard, harder, Notpron!"

"This is possibly the greatest "game" I have ever played in my life!"

"I'm glad I took my time solving each riddle on my own, and didn't rush to the forums demanding help or looking for cheats.Getting through it all was a torture at times, but very much worth the satisfaction I got from solving each level!"

"Thanks for making me learn how to use my computer!"

"I find it challenging and I finally have put my random computer-geek skills to use."

"Congratulations for keeping me busy for weeks. Not even the latest games with some killer 3D graphics could get me as excited as NotPr0n. And damn you for making me learn something!"

"Not Pron is greatest thing to come along since sliced bread!"

"You don't have to be a computer nerd to get through the levels.
Just gotta be a quick learner and more importantly, willing to learn."

Poll: Do you like this game?
(Vote): Absolutely.
(Vote): Yeah, but when it takes too long to solve it gets boring.
(Vote): Not really my type of game.

takes too much time.

it isn't the sort of fun thing where you have a "viola!" moment. + Show Spoiler +
on lv4 for example, they ask me to do work decoding some morse code. that task is not hard, it is just time consuming.

Please remove your spoiler.

Also, you may note that the riddles get progressively more interesting later on. The first few levels are a warmup. They are also not very time consuming. You will spend much much more time on later levels.

I'm just saying that it is not my cup of tea, that's all.

Yeah, I suppose I'll have to agree that quite an amount of patience is required.

Not my type of game. I tried it for a few levels but just wasn't "hooked" on it.

i've heard that no one has finished solving it yet. like ppl have come to an end through many "forks" in the road where they could have taken another path, but no one has ever found the right path to take all the way through.

if that's true then im guessing the programmer for that website is constantly adding to it. and the only person that could possibly beat is no one :/

although its all rumor it's still a cool idea imo

Incorrect, it is possible to reach the last level he added, and some people have been able to do so. He will add more, I hope, and then you can just come back and solve the rest (new).

I tried this like 2 years ago, i got to level 32 on my own, but some are taking so long and some ones you just feel like you will never get. I heard there were about 89 levels? Plenty to play. Don't use any hints tho, it's lame.
