[Wherever you are] you may [attempt to go up by going down]
But [you'll find all unprepared] and [no one to greet you]

Supposedly all possible answers should be located by
search key and identified by
appearance. So going with that idea:
[
Wherever you are] can possibly mean
- URL location of trace start is irrelevant; which may in turn mean it's a common navigation aid (forum breadcrumbs, wiki nav links)
- inferring to page source (no idea how to pick a URL from that one; pattern for source also varies with browsers). Matches appearance.
[
attempt to go up by going down] can possibly mean
- "down" as in "death" or "logout" meaning, you logout and hence would go up as in the main page (matches appearance)
- up / down can be both one level up or simply up, it can also be reverse as in up is actually down in the case of descending order; hence attempt to go up by going down, as in up the stack, but literally you are actually going down.
- if interpreting as direct treasure map sintructions:
- [by Haak] the "retired series" forum, if treated as a reference to the forum
- the #top link
- the archives
- [milan kyuubi] down as in a process or sub-domain (eg. http://test.animesuki.com/)
Going with "down" as definite key word, we should probably cross out all possible alternative meanings:
