so, I'm pretty sure that seeing the Operator is dangerous, very dangerous. TTA emphasizes hearing and not looking. I'm also pretty sure that the reason Alex left was that he found a way to wipe his own memory, get rid of having seen the operator. Somehow him being on camera summoned the Operator to him though, so there's def. something there. If when alex wiped his own memory of MH he also wiped it for every other cast member, then it would explain why Tim went all masky, as he was starting to remember that he had forgotten. This would explain J's spotty memory and if he managed to erase his memory of the 7 month break, (maybe he accidently deleted too much?) it would imply that he had seen the Operator during this break. TTA is a third party (Jessica? Brian maybe?) and was trying to steer J on the right track. One question is why J stopped uploading during the 7 month break (maybe he didn't have the time or couldn't have access to internets?) Anyway, Alex left because he was so freaked out, and maybe The camera was not only a red herring (and a way to be able to show what had happened) but maybe something about the camera gave him his memories back.

OT I know, but I thought of it while I was reading this thread.

Can there be a thread, or atleast a HUB for what totheark videos are decoded, not decoded, and what the meaning is?

It would make it easier.

Posting it again here because it makes more sense here.

The whole electronic voice thing reminds me of a theory I had way back in season one:

TTA = The Operator/Slenderman/whatever you want to call him

Bear with me for a moment, and then you can ram trucks through the holes.

The Operator obviously has some sort of electronic influence on the world around him. He also seems more or less content to observe. But also seems to want something. Whether that be the Ark or...something else entirely, something is keeping him around.

Therefore his presence on youtube is part of his electronic influence. There is no actual person sitting at a computer uploading videos. TTA's videos are simply the manifestations of the Operator. The codes, the puzzles, the odd visual presentations are all byproducts of his inability to communicate effectively with humans. When he asks "Are you drowning" it's because it's a concept he doesn't quite understand given whatever apparent relationship with water he seems to have.

This relationship could also be one of conductive purposes. Rather than protection it might be quite the opposite. (I remember a lot of people talking about Tim notably drinking water. Inviting him in?) The rain with the power lines (and the goofy backwards S that never seemed to get fully explained) and now this view of some watery vision of some type.

"I will always know you." "Do you know me?" While menacing on some level could be attempts at communication, though possibly misguided.

Addendum:
Videos like Return, Admission, Attention, or even Exit all slide into very different places of the puzzle. (not to say the rest don't)

the "remember me" from Exit could certainly refer to the fact that Jay didn't remember any of the stranger things that happened during the Marble Hornets filming. But whoever took the original footage would still be up in the air.

Return's "Found you" would become pretty straight forward.

Admission...is just creepy anyway you slice it. But the disembodied opening and closing of a door would seem...somewhat more normal.

And of course the "return to us" from Attention would be quite easily explained by a theory posted about Masky and the Operator having a similar dynamic to a god and a prophet/herald/creepy-zealot-man. Either that or the Operator having no real sense of identity about himself.

Though the prophet idea would also explain ###### with Masky getting just a little too excited/impatient and trying to drive Jay forward to the promised Ark (whatever that may be). Hence the difference in style and outright directness of it. I mean it states quite clearly "no more games" but here we are again with cryptic TTA statements.

Commence the truck driving. I didn't have time to go through all the TTA videos for evidence ideas and I know others know more than me.
