I've got no leads on the numbers, except maybe trying breaking the numbers into prime factors, and using that.

Second idea. Keywords: some codes need keywords, if the standard Legions Lexicon doesn't provide any good keywords, we could try "Manifest" which is the theme for the page that the passage is presented on. Perhaps that is once again nothing, but could be worth a shot?

The numbers spelled out tinyurl.com/lessondos, which is where we got the double letters from. This is where we currently are.

I've tried Caesar shifts to no avail. Vignere ciphers require a keyword, and I've tried most of the obvious ones. Anagrams are pretty difficult to trawl through. I feel like my efforts aren't abstract enough...

Ok, the doubled letters themselves do not directly spell a word or words. Stop putting "rsad hIwihu noha nnca mhenu hdiy edhd dhv" through cipher solvers.

Yes, this is what you need to be looking at. There is another difference between the forum passage and the linked passage besides the duplicated letters.
 
lessondos text is centered. Every line has 8 words, except for the bottom which has 4 (8, 4. August 4th, date the post was published). Might just be the way Wordpress formats centered paragraphs. Or maybe he had to force those double letters to create that format. If so, dunno what it means.

edit: ok 8 is important.
 
<05:37:58> "Fixious": can i just forget all the double letters then
<05:38:02> "Fixious": dont seem to be important
<05:38:16> "Belberith": Well they're still important
<05:38:57> "Belberith": Tricky part is figuring out how
<05:39:43> "Belberith": It took me quite a long time to figure out how to get to the answer
<05:39:52> "Belberith": What I posted was the hint that Bugs gave me
<05:40:13> "Belberith": that there were more differences than just the letters
<05:42:51> "Fixious": 8,4 have ANYTHING to do with it?
<05:42:59> "Fixious": there are 84 words as well
<05:43:31> "Belberith": no just the lines with the double letters
 
SOLVED
-Spoiler-
"thought line was like, Fix (8s) > Dab (bytes) > 3lionz (binary)" - Dabbleh

There are 8 words on a line. 8 bits in a byte.
Change each of the double letters words into 1's, normal words into 0's.
i.e.
01110100 01101111 01110010 01110001 01110101 01100101 00110011 01100100 00000000 00000000 0000
Output: Torque3d

Looks like we are looking at an engine transfer guys.

Yeah it's definately not an overnight job. However, as Dabbleh said, the devs are a rare species of extra-terrestrial primates. Who knows what they are capable of doing?
