I found out about it thanks to this reddit post:

Go check it out, there's more discussion happening in the comments.
Here's some of the old discussion from 2006 in this forum post:

People suspect the website "xccr.com" could potentially be related. To me it looks to be related to Lost. (I already tried the Lost code, but I couldn't fit the last 2 digits '42' in.
Some strange images people were able to find on the website:

"Checkpoint .txt"?

Searching xccr in google and going to the 2nd result downloads a strange file. I opened it with notepad++ and got this text from it, and uploaded to pastebin so you can take a look: (won't download any files, it just presents the text in plain format for you to look at)

The contents look rather strange. Could still be unrelated.
If it really was an ARG, how could valve know they were going to use it 5 whole years before episode 2 was even released? Or perhaps they always knew they wanted to have an ARG set-up and they just left it dormant for future use? 2 spooky
Here's a link to an imgur album with a few images I took of the boxes I got from the xccr website.
