Actually, just realized that's probably not the best word given the shadier, nefariouser associations of the term. I meant that it's a real account set up to receive actual emails and add an air of authenticity to the marketing and to kick up hype and suspense, but that it probably won't be used for any actual interaction with fans. Now watch and several people will get emails from dscott. Prove me wrong, Tim.


Had you typed that on the THAC forums I would have thrown some popcorn in the microwave


If he gets a theramin as I suggest, I'm going nowhere near him, because that's a creepy fuckin' instrument.


You have offended Cake.


I mean the sound. I love the sound, but it also would make me think I'd somehow walked into an episode of Dark Shadows or some sort of bizarre twist of dramatic irony with a soundtrack.

We should consider the possibility that whoever was going to receive a reply from dscott3872 has already received them, and might not be able to talk about it because he/she/they have been told not to. Even if no one's received a reply yet dscott won't reply to everyone, if they reply at all.


I just realize that I misread you and overlooked the "was going to receive" phrase in what you wrote, meaning that I've just offended theramin players and more above. Erg. I need caffeine.

 		Just got an email response from DSCOTT.

It reads, in its entirety:

~~~~
Thank you for your email. I am currently out of the office until DD/MM/YYYY. I will be happy to respond to you once
.
there are footsteps


-D. Scott
~~~~

The tildés are mine to separate from the rest of this post.

 		I was going frame-by-frame through the THAC behind-the-scenes video, and does Noah's reflection on the nearest laptop screen seem unnatural to anyone else? I'm not sure if he should be visible from that angle at all, and the reflection seems to go a little lower than actual Noah... Idk, maybe I'm overthinking it, but I think we missed something in this video anyways. (if you're having trouble seeing it, look right before the main distortion, when Noah bends over the couch.)

Edit: also just got that response.

 		Also discussing this on the THAC forums, but marblehornets.com/therearefootsteps is a thing. The gif is called "thewaterisdeep.gif" and has the title "141223208655".

 		Don't know if this has been mentioned before, but I logged into this thing for the first time in ages to address something I noticed upon rewatching Entry 65. When Tim contacted Jay, he sent him a voicemail at 3:44 AM. Thoughts? This number seems to be popping up way too many times to be coincidental.

I've been rewatching most of the series, and I noticed that too. Nearly everything important or timestamped happened at 4:00 or right before it.

Well, I was wrong that there'd be no reply (and a disrupted [?] auto reply message sent not by the auto reply assistant but by bcc [according to someone on the THAC Forum] is interesting).

Does that look like the scene from a lake or a river bed to anyone? It sure does to me. (And, for the record, still not seeing a face in the error gif.)

We have so much piecmeal information, it's dazzling.

- The "behind the scenes" THAC video. "Reliable. Dependable. We're alway with you" and the link to the marblehornets.com site.

- The hidden "are you awake" that was there at first

- The new mail from some "D Scott" 3872

- The erroerror gif (I'm not seeing anything here)

- The strange reply, that looks like someone took an empty template and just added a "there are footsteps"

- The thewaterisdeep gif, that has the number 141223208655 as title

____

So someone, who's taste in video editing has an awful likeness to totheark, snuck some footage into a THAC video stating, that he is/was always there for ... us?
On the site he sends us to, he first ask us if we are awake, and then prompts us to write some unknown person for authorized access. The person however never replies, but instead we receive an seemingly fake auto-response, that has barely any information in it, other that the hint that "there are footsteps".
While this could mean that there are hints out there already (in prior MH or TTA videos?), http://marblehornets.com/therearefootsteps shows not the usual erroerror.gif, but rather a underwater scene, that very much resembles a scene from the "Display" TTA ... a scene that features the word "remember" and this very specific TTA revolves around the theme that Jay abandoned Tim. The gif is not only labled thewaterisdeep, but also has the title 141223208655.

Whatever is going on here, it seems to be more tied to MH than I anticipated, since I heard that the new series would not be a continuation.

It's not a continuation, but there's now definitely a relation, which is fascinating.

I may have been wrong about the dscott email actually being used to contact people OOG, but I'm still calling that there's some sort of individual or other entity or presence that was somehow related to TTA in MarbleHornets and was responsible for providing some info (not only to Jay and Tim but maybe to Brian/Hoody, too).

Has anyone figured out what or where this (on the youtube page) is from or what its significance is: https://yt3.ggpht.com/-Elqp3YAB3-o/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/w5vn7FNZSss/s100-c-k-no/photo.jpg? I started posting earlier today that it had a lake in it but then I checked myself and checked the YouTube site and found I was incorrect. But doesn't it look like a small cliff near a lake or river?

EDIT: or even an dry lake bed or a quarry...

That is a cliff near a lake from the area near the season 2 hotel. See Entry 27 for more.

I don't know--seems a bit arbitrary with the last three digits. I'm not saying it's not a valid attempt.

It looks almost like an international phone number, but that's only if it's written in the right order. The country code would place it in Slovakia. Then there's someone who posted the following to his tumblr: http://davidlikestofilm.tumblr.com/post/116352444533/im-getting-closer-i-hope.

I don't think it's right either, but it's another valid attempt.

The 44 followed by a dot and then a number doesn't look like coordinates to me--it looks like (I'm bad with computers and coding and shit, so I'm typing out to try to find the write word) it could be a file path directory or some media URL (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.). As I said, I know what I want to say but cannot think of the right words.

The brackets are strange in that they're all pointing to the Left, which seems to indicate that they are NOT serving as parenthetic punctuation...

Not that any of this helps...

I got the letters wrong actually. The Y is a W
you can spell out "When left" or "left when"


also, about the phone number, i did it as a joke but previously in this thread i tried to log in as dscott and saw the last two digits of his phone number. hint: they aren't in this code Razz
