YSHDT.com was the first website used in Johnisdead. This website is owned by the Lunar Children as a portal. Many cryptic images and messages were discovered on this site relating to various characters and sometimes even the players themselves. This site is unique in the sense that it saw heavy use of flash video files. The site was later revealed to be the Lunar Children's test at hosting a portal similar to Wayward Horizon before attempting the same thing on a larger scale with Johnisdead.com. YSHDT.com hasn't been used since 2015 and the domain has since been claimed by an unrelated host.
History
YSHDT.com was first revealed to the players by TheLaw on January 22nd, 2015 - the beginning of the first arc of Johnisdead. TheLaw claimed that he had simply stumbled across the site and believed it to be related to the original Ben Drowned ARG. Over time, more and more pages were added to the site. While at first the site had a heavy focus on Majora's Mask, things soon became more abstract. The first few pages on the site seemed to be describing a cataclysmic event that has rendered the world broken. On February 16th, 2015, the site began linking players to Letschasethemouse - a blog belonging to Doug. Over time, more callouts and references were discovered on the site - along with more flash videos.
Upon the conclusion of the YSHDT Arc, activity on the website dwindled. The site saw a single update near the beginning of the Johnisdead Arc. Since then, the site has been inactive. Sometime in 2016, the site's domain was not renewed and it has since been claimed by an unrelated party.

New Spiritual Discovery!
By DOUGLAS P.
Left behind in a small town, one of the few scientifically-minded pastors is left to govern his own local chapter. In this small town, however, a seemingly large discovery has been found. Now that I think about it, the father there didn't really want me to Know the specifics, only that it is the next stage in ((Illegible)). Eternal happiness is well at hand, he claims, due to his amazing discovery about how ((Illegible)) data! ((Illegible)) of two worlds, ((Illegible)) will lead to the understanding of ((Illegible)) our new scientific world! Do read on, to see the future of ((Illegible)) knowledge as a whole!

The father is now who he seemed. He is not what he seemed.
He hurt us.
He hurt him.
I just want to go back.
Back in time.
Back before I betrayed my mother.
Before I joined this religion.
I'm scared mommy.

Transcript:
If another timeline is created, outcomes are inevitable, and cannot be changed.
If multiple lines are merged, chaos ensues.
She has told me of this happening. And it is her will.
They seek to stop her. To cause this merged chaos.
I was a fool to have my doubts.
And that is why she chose me.
There is one among you who is a traitor.
There are two among you who must die.
There are three that are thieving.
And all are waiting.
One of these will be your salvation.
A soul for a soul. An eye for an eye.
Light for dark.
Circles for squares.
Men for women.
Wolves for cats.
Time is like a network.

You wear it when you talk to others.
You wear it during rough times.
And during good times.
You wear it to show what you'd like to be outwardly.
And hide what you are inwardly.
A mask protects your identity. It protects your soul.
It protects you from others, and yourself.
Your mask is everything.
