Sorry if this was said already, but if you remove the R in THEREWASMRE it says THERE WAS ME.

Just a small thing I would like too point out

THERE WAS MORE

I am wondering about the there was more thing. It seems almost too obvious. The problem is that there's no 'O' - It would seem odd to invent a font where 0 and O are exactly the same width. I've also speculated that there might be some pattern to the arrangement of letters, but haven't got anywhere with it yet.

"CL0SELY" in Regards uses a zero instead of an O, and the message is "LOK" rather than "LOOK". It's possible that totheark is removing single O's from words, although the title of the video Operator and "YOU" in Deluge use the letter O instead of a zero.

Thematically, Regards and Impurity go together ("look closely", "there was more") - both seem like friendly/helpful messages. Operator and Deluge seem to share a more threatening nature (watching you, "listen" hidden in a poem about death) and share the \ symbol. The fact that only the friendly videos are missing O's seems important.

Noticed one more thing - the friendly videos are tagged "ark", while the menacing videos are not.

Perhaps totheark is shared by two users, or is aiming videos at two different targets?

Some B-side theories. Long-shots, but I wanted to put them out there:

- The descriptions of the friendly videos translate to "HI" (8 /'s and 9 0's).
- The last flash of zeroes in Impurity gives us two rows of 31 (15 18 31 31 18 15). The word "CL0SELY" in Regards translates to "3 12 0 19 5 12 25", which translated from base 10 to base 8 (description of first video was Cool

gives us "3 14 0 23 5 14 31". Therefore, both videos contain the number 31.

Maybe totheark is just inconsistent?

There are clues in these totheark videos. I just know it. The Marble Hornets videos are story, but the meat of the game is in the totheark vids. We're missing something. Something obvious. Does anybody know how you go about dowloading youtube videos? I want to go though these frame by frame.

Some of us have been doing just that. I use

But be careful, I don't think it preserves the quality entirely.
