Alright then, back to the final puzzle.

Here's a recap:

:
OK, I think I may actually have something here, although it seems a bit strange to me.

Taking the hint about just looking at the start I thought maybe just ignore all the lines that start with a \ and only use the ones starting with a /.

This left me with only two lines

/\//\\//5,1:4.1,2:8.1,3:2.3,3:2.4,3:3.7,3:3.1,5:3.4,5:9.5,5:2.7,5:4.7,6:6.3,7:3.

AND

///\\/JQEABTVKNUCSEYCMBILDKOSCYSITECPAGFAXHKETJNZURWCIE

I then split the letters up into a 7x7 grid like this

1234567
1 JQEABTV
2 KNUCSEY
3 CMBILDK
4 OSCYSIT
5 ECPAGFA
6 XHKETJN
7 ZURWCIE

and using the coordinates from the row of numbers to look up the corresponding letters I got this.

B K C B I K E A G A N R

which is an anagram of the word

BACKBREAKING !

Can't seem to get the Twitter posts to work properly, the most important one was a response to 'Backbreaking':

And then that was as far as we got.
Both Glitterpanther and myself, tried all 16 codes, and found the only one able to produce any results was -- as Dawlthy suggested -- the ones beginning with a 'truth' value.

BACKBREAKING... Use with the grid...

Unresolved figures:
8992
8554
73
57 (?)
