The A2B2 Website is one of the websites made by audio engineer Andy Morin (also referred to as Flatlander.) The website contains pasta and a picture of Andy himself, his Twitter, and his e-mail.
Back in May 3, 2010, this website used to be a blog[1]. The only known blog posts are about his booking calendar, an image of "neuro pop" which is broken, his updated albums, a post titled "basic" with possibly an animated thing used with Adobe Flash, his "security department", a song named "fidelity" which is about a dog vomiting, another animated thing used with Adobe Flash titled "dream 2", a band he joined named Afternoon Brother, his Ganglians demos, and a blog titled "weaver" showing people possibly in a band named after the blog title.
When Reddit accidentally discovered the secret URLs and pictures that were hidden, they were posted to the Death Grips subreddit. The known ones are the Diablo 3 thing[2] and the picture which is labeled "1.jpeg"[3]. When Andy found out about the thread, he deleted all those pictures including the Diablo 3 one[4], and updated the website with a glitched picture of himself[5].
Meanwhile, possibly in December 15, 2015, the website updated yet again[6]. However, there is an image of a floating head in space, and it flashes once a second or more than a second. This could mean that the upcoming album Bottomless Pit is going to be released this Christmas[7], or possibly not[8].
As of January 10, 2016, the website is now titled "a2b2 fuck you" and only displays a clock.[9] No one knows why the clock's there, except for Andy. You can also register for an account, as pointed out by a Reddit user.[10] However, you need to type in a username and password in order to register. Only Andy knows the username and password.[11]
Two days later, the website was forbidden to access.[12] There is no reason why this happened. Either the Death Grips subreddit made Andy angry or maybe he's adding more to the website. No one knows for sure.
After 19 days, the website has finally updated and now has a console command prompt, but was said to be "fake" according to a Reddit post.[13] However, the offical Death Grips website is down for no reason, and Andy hasn't explained why.
As of March 1, 2016, the website has updated, containing an image of doors labeled "aicaicaicaic.png". The website also contains Andy's Instagram and Twitter accounts, and an e-mail named system@a2b2.org. According to a Reddit comment, the image of doors claimed to be one of the doors as seen in Inanimate Sensation.[14]
8 days later, the website updated with images labeled "wtf.jpg", "sry.jpg" and plz.jpg, and Andy changed his Twitter handle to "andy__morin". However, 4 days later, the pictures were removed since the Death Grips 2016 Interview was released, however the images were made available again at an unknown date.
On June 24, 2020, Andy tweeted "working on the site today", with the site now reading "personal area of andy morin not affiliated with death grips sign-ups begin shortly check back soon stage I completion: 60%"
As of July 12th, 2020 The website updated to "phase 1" and allows user to post images and reply with comments.
On July 24th, 2020, Andy hosted a Discord raid event in order to promote the A2B2 site. While the raid was successful, one particular server consisting of script-kiddies decided to DDOS the site after multiple instances of "ass-slapping" at them.

Trivia[]
- The floating head was also shown in a picture (which is not shown in the A2B2 website)[15], reading a piece of paper that says "NbZTGEVc". If the word is encoded, then it will say "bottomless". This may reference the album Bottomless Pit.
- The website also had a forum.[16] The title is only "C", and the others are blank. The possible link to the forum is a2b2.org/main. It's too bad you need to figure out the username and password.
- The username of the co-dev "Templeterry" / "TerryDev" is likely a reference to Terry A Davis, a highly skilled (albeit schizophrenic) programmer who developed his own Operating System - TempleOS and rose to niche internet fame in programming forums and 4chan before his suicide in 2018. [17]
