13015111511513013153113 is a source code that first originated in a flash sequence of the post-Lest We Forget (The Best Of) era of MarilynManson.com. For over a year, the fan community worked at deciphering the patterns and codes in this incarnation of the website, but the attempts found no turning point, and in November 2006, the site was completely revamped and all traces of this code had been revoked.

In an exclusive interview with Marilyn Manson conducted by The Heirophant in May 2006, Manson was questioned about the intention of the mysterious code, to which he revealed the appearances of the code were not at his attention, and his involvement in that incarnation of the site was only minimal, as oppose to now:

The Heirophant: "What ever happened with the solving of the codes and the opening of the gates on the official Manson website? Are they even relevant anymore? If not, what were your intentions and/or the planned end-result? Or, if you still expect them to be solved, what advice could you give to those fans who have been diligently working towards that end?"

Marilyn Manson: "I'm very happy that the current website we launched in a greater part yesterday is something I've been involved with in every detail, collaborating with the person who created it. I think there was a greater understanding of what I wanted as an idea but somebody brought to the table their own creative element. I was really happy that the site looks nothing like what I would have said to create. For that reason, I liked it. The way that the site has been between the time I was musically active until now is really representative of the confusion and turmoil in life and the people who were trying to prey upon that.

I'm not going to blame anyone that was involved with it. I'm not going to deny any of my involvement, but I don't think I was able to really have any sort of enjoyment in how my own website represented me personally until yesterday. I'm very glad to be back in charge of essentially how I communicate with a large number of people. I was trying to create a world where I could simply be defined by my statements and my ideas because I hadn't created this record yet. I had to really cut through a forest of assholes to get to the point I'm at now. I'm happy to put the past year behind me in so many ways, we'll leave it at that.

I'm not going to say the codes are something that I was ignorant of, but I'll just say it developed into something that I did not approve necessarily, but that's only in the fact that I don't know what it developed into. I didn't know who I was for that period of time. I didn't mean that it had no value, it just means that people often mistake house-sitting for living in a house metaphorically."

Other less-traced codes included, "0113530501331300000000000000", "05011330501333000000000000", "13053135015503113501", "1135150151533011", "1511110131501005", "3113115", "551531", "3113", "1313", and "3115".
