After a very long hiatus, I've returned just to find that I'm right on time to get my head imploded again by THAC.

So my theory for what may be upcoming in this next installation of this universe is something that takes things in a kind of Jadusable direction. The Operator will somehow become aware of so many people becoming aware of him, and start to try and infect the internet.

Don't quote me on that though, I've been wrong a million times before, and I'll continue to gleefully be wrong.


Doesnt THAC already confirm that The Operator is not appear again?


Well, from what I can remember (can't find it in the AMA), they said that the new series will not be about TO, but also stated that it takes place in the same universe. So, TO will maybe have a cameo appearance of some sort, may have some off-screen appearance, or will be missing completely.


Ah... Make sense.

 		Hey guys... Do you guys notice that the gif name was knockknockknock.gif?

So it suppose what it means by "donotanswer" doesnt mean to not answer a phone call, bug to actually not answer knocks on door?

Yes, combining that with the "iknowwhereyouare" or "don't do it" image it seems like someone is creeping up to someone, and is reaching him or her soon, because it is knocking on the door already.

I still wonder though how these updates are linked to Alex' Blog Updates. Now that we were just talking about TO, I feel like it could be his perspective of the events back in '06. I'm going out on limb here, but try to see it as follows:

It has been speculated that the site itself is somehow affected by the still unexplained time-space-warp stuff that happens around TO. So, if we assume that these updates are distorted because of TO, then he has to be present somewhere. I have no idea whatsoever how in detail TO should interact with the website (seems ridiculous, although malfunctioning electronics and TO go hand in hand), but just think about the beginning. The very first gif was a watery gif, with cryptic numbers. Water has a very important relation to at least TTA, and therefore to TO also. For the most part however, TO is thought to be adverse to water because we link him to fire more often. But reconsidering #65, the warp stuff that happens around him seems to be more connected to water than fire. So the first gif could be seen as the prelude to TO-distortion messing with the site. (not to mention the erroerror.gif) Then follows the iknowwhereyouare site, with a gif of a person being stalked. I can easily imagine this picture to be taken from TOs perspective. The fence going out in that position reminds me now of TOs arm like seen in #80, but from a first person point of view. Since it was found (if I remember correctly) at around the time Alex Blog post talked about going out to location scouting, this could mean stand for the operator now spotting Alex, seeing him for the first time.
And now, since Alex has done the scounting, the next know step for TO to take after #5 could be #1, his famous "standing on the porch, next to the door" Do you know what you do normally when standing there? You knock. Knock, knock. This new .gif could have some connection to #1, where TO, well...metaphorically knocks on Alexs doors. The unknown site editor now adds that whoever is the addressee should not answer. But that seemingly prompts TO to look around the house, as seen in #1.

So, that's all I got. I don't know man, I still haven't read or figured out any way to make sense of the marblehornets.com site as a whole. But if you pardon the change in perspective from "Kinda TO point of view" to "Someone inside Alex's house looking at the door TO is standing in front of", this somehow seems relevant to me. Maybe one of you guys can flesh it out a bit. Or, you know, we just wait a little more... ...

 		------ Wow, thats like the first actual footage we've seen... Is it just me or it appears to be a CCTV type footage instead of a camcorder tape? It's important to notice that the 44 logo is always on the bottom right of the screen, after the words "We're always with you". Interesting!

And there is also water recorded and someone walking footage. Is this person actually from that picture where there is someone standing in front of a building?[/wave]

 		I don't mean to sound pessimistic but roughly 4 months later and its just the same type of teaser? I feel like there wasn't really anything significant other than seeing a person there. Unless this is hinting that shits actually about to go down, it seems pointless to do this months apart.

But maybe I'm wrong. I don't know much about conventions and maybe this was just another big convention they wanted to tease it at. Either way I'm still excited for the series, just wish they condensed the preseason stuff in a month or 2.

In this, there are 11 rows, and 36 characters per row. if we wanna get our precious 44 into this thing, we can evenly split each row into 4 groups of 9 characters. (11x36=396. 396/44=9, since 36/4=9)

 		My take on it: (cross posted from the other thread, but this one seems more active)

000000000000000000000000000010000000
000000100000000000000000000000000000

000000010000000000000000000000000000

000000000000100000000000000000000000

There are 11 lines and 32 numbers in each line.

My theory is each line = one Character of a YouTube url (the part after watch?v=) Since those codes are 11 characters long.

Since each line is 32 numbers, I figured it may have to do with Base 32.

The Base 32 Wikipedia page offers a good conversion table for the different base 32.

I used the position of the 1s to determine which base 32 character each line was.

This gives a code of 5hbbi2wjLon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hbbi2wjlOn

Looks good, but unfortunately YouTube URLs are case sensitive, so we would have to try multiple combinations of capitalizations.

Also, there are multiple Base 32 Alphabets, and we wouldn't know which THAC used for this. So we may have to try others.

Or I'm completely wrong and this is a waste of time. But better than nothing.

 		I like that theory. It probably is a YouTube URL. I hate having to try all the different combinations of capitals and lower cases but I like the idea that the first video to this series can only be seen after doing a little detective work like this.

I wonder if the dyhf? have anything to do with it.

Uhm...there are 36 digits in each row, not 32.
