EDIT: I really need to stop editing my posts for about 30 minutes before (and after) I post them. (Deleted post and reposted on the new page. The system chose a bad time to make the jump...)
I believe I see the letters (in order) a, e, h, i, z, m. Using the cipher (and going by the numbers in the images), I get
h a m a z i e z
1 2 3 2 4 5 6 4
Seems like a name, but that was really easy; something's not right here...
I suppose our sources could have obtained the data so quickly because the s33k3rs were weakened, but this still seems suspicious to me. If this really is the name, why was there so little encryption? The terms of the binding are what require information to be encrypted, not the s33k3rs, so their weakened state should not have any effect on the difficulty of a puzzle.
EDIT: DAMNIT! WHAT IS WITH THIS PAGE-NUMBERING SYSTEM?! IT'S CHANGED AGAIN!
EDIT: Anyway, I posted my solution as well. Paperwulf's looks more likely, but it would be kind of annoying to miss it because of one letter.
EDIT: Unsurprisingly, it was Hamaliel. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahqZeBXcnQM) Unfortunately, it looks like we may have another possession problem on our hands; apparently the destruction of the next-to-last s33k3r has given the final one enough power to find "a body." (probably dolst)
EDIT: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxcBJ0kCemI) Who's willing to bet that Hamaliel purposely allowed its name to be found? I suppose that could explain the relative ease of this set of bytecodes.
I think it's safe to say that we shouldn't trust s33k3rdolst.

AW CRAP!!!! I knew it was too easy!! And now it makes sense why the poster had all that l33tsp33k crap in his posts! It was a s33k3r!!
Sorry guys. I killed dolst. :-(
Well, I hope not anyway. Man, I hope this is something we can fix.
I feel like such a sucker. ;_;
Edit: New video from s33k3rdolst

Sorry guys. I'm going to go hide under the bed now.
Edit 2: OH MAN we are so screwed!!! :'(

This is bad. VERY bad.
With the s33k3r at dolst's location, he's closer than WE are to the Gangadiddle! Hopefully the others will be able to do something, because I doubt we're going to be able to get someone out there in time to divert him in some way.
(Really, though, it's probably going to be necessary to advertise the hunt on other forums. I've been having trouble finding ones that I'm fairly sure will not result in an influx of trolls, but seeing how many we've had in the past, perhaps I should just stop worrying about that.)
EDIT: Oh, very funny, Mr. s33k3r. (The image that shows up on both of dolst's websites is named "nope.")

Oh great, I knew the s33k3rs (or s33k3r) hadn't surrendered!
Any idea what we're going to do now, guys? We can't let him find the Gangadiddle before us. We can't just keep saying we're screwed yet either. There has to be something...
Also I'll be trying to spread the word where I can on a couple other sites, tho knowing my luck it'll just bring in trolls.

dolst does not know where it is. Therefore, neither does the s33k3r.
It looks as though the situation isn't as dire I had originally envisioned, though that isn't to say that we're not in trouble. I figured that the s33k3r would be capable of sensing the location of the Gangadiddle once it was in this universe/reality/plane, but apparently it lost that ability during the transfer. (Either that, or the navicaster was the only one capable of sensing anything in regard to location in the first place.)
I should probably stop making such wild speculations.
And sure, any help advertising would be appreciated.

EDIT: The (new) dfe website shows "CR6TvZG1gMg" now, and adding it on to the previous url will take you here: http://dolst.com/CR6TvZG1gMg
Interesting... It's dolst's old site...
EDIT: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw10-bLLGbg) The new video has some very interesting tags.
