All your base are belong 2 us.


OK, I'll replace 2 with 'to'. The most frequent numbers are 31 and 0, if I replace them with E,T or A which are the most frequent letters in English (assuming the plaintext is in english), I come up with pretty much nothing. And 0 and 31 are disproportionately high, which should mean something.

Also assuming the range is '32', you have added some additional characters such as '.' '/' which might indicate that this is an URL. However, there's not http of ftp etc in the beginning, so that's not possible. Another thing is, there are only 15 different characters which can also mean we should not even try to match letters with numbers, such as in '2' and 'to'.

Also, if this includes an instruction in English, the first word should be a verb...

Right I can't get involved as I'm away from any computer except my phone for a few days, but I think it has something to do with ipv6. Probably that the sure is now ipv6 enabled or some such
Hope I'm right and good luck puzzlers

It says follow the instructions, I can't see how it includes both a huge IPv6 address (assuming its not ::1 or some sort), and also includes some instructions.

with regard to the hint

"All your base are belong to us" is a broken English phrase that became an Internet phenomenon or meme. The text comes from the opening cutscene of the 1991 European Sega Mega Drive version of the video game Zero Wing by Toaplan, which was poorly translated from Japanese. The meme developed from this as the result of a GIF animation depicting the opening text which was initially popularized on the Something Awful message forums.

Focus on why I wrote the hint the way I did and I'll tell you when you get it right.

I converted them into binary (with 5 base) and tried to convert them back into 8 base, it did not work... Don't waste your time on that...

and that URL has 33 chars, just like the code...

You wrote that sentence because it is broken just as the plaintext in this code?

It wouldn't work because the ASCII character codes for alphabet starts at 65. You might have to pad the number or maybe somekind of second conversion.

Why is this the first time I'm seeing this thread? Damn, I've been too busy lately. Hopefully I can come up with a decent effort, never been good at code breaking.

Well I came up with binary. such as '11111' for 31, '10100' for 24, etc. After that, I added 8 three digit binary numbers at the start or at the end of each pentet, the result looked pretty random.
