There's nothing dismissing the Alex R. Kralie theory on Alex's page on the wikidot either.

IIRC, the Alex R. Kralie theory wasn't debunked in an interview, but in an ingame response from Jay. I seem to recall some Unfictioners sent him a PM regarding Alex's middle name, in which Jay said that he didn't know what Alex's middle name was, but that he was pretty sure it didn't begin with an r.

His name doesn't even start with an R? OMG what was I thinking. Now that I think about it, it really is amusing! Well then back to square one with my theory.

I've posted about this on the thread about TTA's identity, but since it keeps coming up here, I feel compelled to throw this out there: I believe that the evidence strongly suggests that totheark is one and only one person.

Every time we see Hoody and Masky together or somebody like Jay or Jessica disappears for a while or has memory loss or a plausible childhood connection to the Operator, lots of people start trying to tie characters into TTA. I just don't see it, friends.

Let's stipulate, for the moment, that Hoody is totheark; he may not turn out to be, but it's been implied more than once. He's been seen on more than one occasion working with Masky: 45 and 62 come to mind, possibly some TTA vids if you want to assume that Hoody created them. I think it's a mistake, though, to interpret those times to mean that Masky and Hoody are both members of some sort of group or team. Especially given the last two entries, it's looking more and more like Masky is a pawn or lackey and that Hoody, or TTA, is using him. He's a minion. The evidence suggests that Hoody is manipulating Tim (or Masky if they're totally separate), not that they ever really shared an agenda.

See, the problem with the "X has been in TTA before and maybe (s)he will be re-initiated" theories is that they require TTA to fluctuate in terms of manpower, and possibly agenda, and that implies weakness and a lack of control. That's not the TTA we've seen in the series. TTA has always seemed to know more than anyone else about what's going on in the world, and while he may not be powerful enough to oppose the Operator, he's certainly been two steps ahead of Jay the whole time. If TTA were constantly in a state of membership flux, then that's significantly less potent character.

If you want to say that Masky being used by TTA is the same as Masky being in TTA, then that's your prerogative, but I think that the real TTA is, by definition, the person who sets the agenda that the minions are manipulated into working toward. The beauty of the single-TTA theory is that it allows for other characters, like Jay and Tim, to be associated with TTA sporadically against their wills, without compromising them or weakening TTA when they "wake up."

I'm sorry for the wall of text; there's a more detailed discussion of this theory in the TTA identity thread.

About the whole Alex R. Kralie thing debunked, didn't someone post some picture where the word Alex becomes Ark (l and e together make the R then move the x around a bit to become k). That one was unlikely but very cute in my opinion haha.
