Grand Theft Auto remains one of the biggest names and franchises in gaming. Grand Theft Auto 4 was a huge hit. Even without any official information from Rockstar, everyone knows Grand Theft Auto 5 is coming and people are expecting big things. As with any major game -- especially those with little or no official information released -- gamers and fans scour the internet for any nuggets of information available. This time it looks like some of that internet sleuthing might have payed off regarding Grand Theft Auto 5.
A forum poster over on GTAForums.com spent time examining the site www.grandtheftauto5.com and realized the WHOIS registration lead back to Rockstar Games. That provided enough of a spark to warrant more investigating. After looking at the site's DNS IP, the poster decided to look at all the other sites hosted in the same block.
While the sites hosted in that same block may or may not necessarily be related to Grand Theft Auto 5, it is certainly one way to learn possible hints at locations, gangs, or other fun items that might be included or related to the game. This certainly is not the first time a little internet investigation turned up possible GTA 5 news. Information about domains registered by Take-Two Interactive and possible casting sessions discovered online also seem to point to GTA 5.
Some of the interesting sites discovered this time around include:
babehardcore.com
baitman.com
bicyclecommuter.com (possibly ride bikes again?)
boobstop.com
californiahomesbyowner.com (california setting?)
carolinabrokers.com (not sure what the relation to carolina would be)

With this new information, other forum members over at GTAForums.com have been doing their best to see what might be uncovered from these and other sites hosted in that same block. So far, no concrete information has emerged, but it is certainly interesting.
