You know what? Forget the maybe.

There's definitely a puzzle in here. My first puzzle!

You have one week and, at least for the first days, I won't give hints.

Please don't spoil the fun for the others.

Have fun!

A few hints:

  • If you still don't know where to start, try going at the source of the problem.

  • A little poem:

Probably you managed to crack the sky
And now you're bathing in the starlight.
So, what to do now?
Thinking that It's Too Hard?
Everything you tried turned out to be wrong?
Be faithful, my friend.
In this short, little poem,
Now you will find your answer.

  • Don't stop changing.

  • Are you further along the road? Try to follow the path until you reach the end.

  • Stop staring at the road and walk in it.

SOLUTION:

  • There was a hidden link in the source of the page that brought you to a gif depicting the sky. The sky frame had a very long delay, and was hiding another frame with an 8-letter code.

  • That code, KntAnXey, was the ID of a Pastebin paste (see hint #2, the initials of every row). In the paste there was a series of binary chars.

  • With the text of the paste you had to do a series of translations: binary->hex->base64->hex->binary->plain text. The result was yet another imgur URL.

  • The image, depicting a road, was a png file. If you opened it with a text editor, at the very end, you'd have found a five letter code, the final reward, guiding you to the hidden giveaway.

Hope you had fun! See you next time!

I found a road. Okay it's more a track across the fields than a road, but I don't know what to do anymore...
But it's a nice puzzle :)

Edit: solved after the fix

From what I can see, at least a couple of you is getting very close to the solution. Good job! I was hoping it would take a little more, but I'm happy if many of you reach the giveaway.

Finding the stars obviously isn't what you mean by "close to solution" right?
If so I must be overthinking this part.

Hey Kappei are the stars supposed to open the road? Can you double check if the stars "shine" as they "should" ?

Now they do, thanks for making me check (even if, probably, you were looking for your road in the wrong places anyway)

I see a mesmerizing glow emanating from the nearby field. As I cross the stream of shadows, the wall of sound hits me. PHOOM. PHOOM. PHOOM. I take a step back; the noise is deafening. I persist in stepping forward. Soon, I can see the track. It's alive and crackling with energy. I'm scared. Utterly. I don't know what to do. The thing across the fields is a menacing purple. I can't go near it. I can barely breath. I wis- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD.

Don't be sad, the older forum dweller have seen and solved puzzles like this for ages, they surely have an edge here.

I've only been here for three weeks, and I already have a process down. Once you see a couple doozy puzzles (solutions are often posted afterwards), you develop a bag of tricks, and many of those tricks get used a lot. It also really helps to be computer-smart.
