PASSWORD IS: tommarvoloriddletheonering

And there are 5 sets of words (which will come from the codes) that will give us 5 codes.

Secret Code:

If nothing seems to be working, you can try "givemeaclue"...

Let's cut to the chase. Here are the codes that we've found:

6446506big - On Nin10mode's profile (may have something to do with "10")
347378picture - Suyo's profile (that's probably correct since no-one could change it. And word "picture" may refer to his sig or avatar)
7891829camera -Shadowsquid's profile

9131012It's a -

629018search - Found on LL wiki, Dimension 13: Intellect (Maybe all of those space words were referring to Null space?)
5382782tenth - Found on LL wiki, Valtameri
8608376power - Found on LL wiki, Trigger guide

5838158ten - Doram's wiki profile (Would probably be worth checking his LL forum profile) Also OJ's wiki profile. And Kimonio's.

5921088Speaking - Hidden Forums (tag 37). I think this may be the code that Doram's hint was referring to (be thorough, it's hard to crack this code etc.)
6400223of - Found in crack the code forum

6899479his Also look up
4456771middle name. - Amp's post in the hidden forum

5895511July - Secret password 1

So that's 28/40
We know that we're missing 4 hints/codes from the "Crack the code" forum. And one is from all the other ones.

What the words may refer to:
Galaxy, Universe, (Big) Bang, Nebula, Stellar - May refer to SK's Profile
Ten - May refer to Nin10mode's profile
Edge - Edge of the screen? Sword?
is1, little, big - may refer to BBCode? Maybe?
Speaking - May refer to discussion topics? (Serious Discussion, Things you want to say)
"Search to the tenth power" - ??? The closest thing to a sentence from all the wiki words


@EDIT:

"And for those struggling, all of the mini-puzzles come in sets of 3, 5, and 10." - Probably means that we can form hints from this many words.
"Search tenth power" were all found on the LL wiki...

"There's suddenly secrets everywhere, but it's going to take a lot to really crack this event open. It's a code so tough, Voldemort would appreciate it, though I won't be as unfair with my riddles as Bilbo Baggins was. You can just leave it all in lowercase and run it all together, but be specific and thorough."

"The second sentence has the first of the two referenced hints in it in the first 4 words, and the end of the sentence was the pointer to the forum ("crack this open"). The next sentence is the complete hint to the password to the forum, and as the hidden hint states, the last sentence is literal advice."

And, a further nudge for Crack the Code. Both halves of the clue refer to riddles that those characters made, and specifically, either the starting place, or the finishing place for those riddles.

And one last hint today, in case you STILL need help with the Crack the Code: it's 6 words, 3 from each half of the clue.

"Voldemort would appreciate it, though I won't be as unfair with my riddles as Bilbo Baggins"

From "Tom Marvolo Riddle" to "I am lord voldemort" is Voldemort's riddle

And after looking up Bilbo's riddles, his last one is (maybe?): "What have I got in my pocket?"

so, "iamlordinmypocket"? No, not this. Maybe I'm thinking along the wrong lines.

I tried all of these and they don't work (they're pretty dumb, don't look):

I am all out of ideas.

"The "search" comes last, and all is clear when you replace the second ten with one hundred."

I think this means that we should be using the search engine for something, maybe a code. However we'll first need that code and change the number to 100. Either that or search is the last word of a set. Maybe that set is the password? Or maybe we should focus on the "searching" last? As in, after we break into ""Crack the code" forum?

However he also opened with this "Ok, this is embarrassing. I just realized I got the numbers wrong on one of the puzzles. This is what happens when you rush."

I don't know whether that means that one of our codes is wrong, or maybe one of our codes is supposed to have a 100 instead of a 10?

Some of the words may be red herrings to what you think they refer to, but otherwise that's some really solid information gathering for the first day. I'm really sorry to put all this load on you Konradix, but I'm absolute trash at forum hunts. I do believe you're onto something though with the whole galaxy thing, though keep in mind Star king's not the only one with some sort of galaxy representation in his name. I think there's several other members (fairly prominent ones too) that have some sort of space representation in them.

...

Hold on a second, Space. Space was a theme for a SM63 LDC. Could that be it?

[Konradix]

I'm not good at these either, but I tried to look in most obvious places. There's also the clue that Doram gave us:

Otherwise, this is your first clue (which actually gives you 2 clues - one for a code, and for more clues):

Threads, profiles, smilies... There's suddenly secrets everywhere, but it's going to take a lot to really crack this event open. It's a code so tough, Voldemort would appreciate it, though I won't be as unfair with my riddles as Bilbo Baggins was. You can just leave it all in lowercase and run it all together, but be specific and thorough.

I've looked through smilies, profiles and some of the Threads. I assume this part is the clue about "more clues". However I'm not sure about the other part. I figured when he mentioned Voldemort, it's gonna be something like a word scramble, but I found nothing like that so far. There's also the numbers. He said they're random, but they might mean something (maybe a post number, thread number or a user number (though I checked and found nothing)).

Anyway, I'll try to look some more tomorrow.

@EDIT: Welp, I found nothing in the Space LDC (though that would work with the 10 and all the space stuff). I'm also not quite sure if Doram can edit/has edited locked topics (He probably can since he's a Glomod, but that would be mean)

[Harmless]

Yeah, there's no way they're random.

5921088Speaking - Hidden Forums (tag 37). Are you really sure you didn't check that place
5334982a2 - NanTheDark's post on the first page of the Runouwlympics Art Contest thread.

[Harmless]

oh thank god you're back

[Raiyuuni]

I'm just having a break from my break. I'll see what I can do, anyway.

[Konradix]

Yay welcome back. I had no idea that forum existed. I only found this weird "Crack the code" thing by accident today, but then dismissed it (since I needed a password). Well, looks like Doram cleared 2 things up:

"No, I do not have anything hidden on the LL site general, or the LL forum."
"There are 3 codes that you get from the smilies, and they are actually hidden in the tooltip for the smilie (the text that pops up when you hover the mouse over the smilie). If you are on a touch screen and cannot hover, pm me."

However I cannot for the life of me find the 2 other smiley codes he was talking about. Only the

[*Emelia K. Fletcher]

shall contribute to this event in some form or another

[Konradix]

I cannot for the life of me figure out where the other codes are. Unless we get/decode more hints, I'm out of ideas
