I summarize as…
People are…
a.) Pissed that they did it in a weird confusing way? (In keeping.)
b.) Pissed that they found another way to keep us guessing about everything (In keeping.)
Game on, and I and say, and score another one for the LG15 team.
As to the idea that somehow people here will make money, I agree that is a little funky, but they are obviously dreaming big in a way that does not suggest industry guile (also in keeping.) I like it.
HyeMew & Terryfic where are you?
Who is already talking to the team?
If it is fake, who can show that and how can that be shown? (In keeping.)

Can you really create a forum only if you are an admin? This could still be fake.

I agree with crackity, shifty and others. For such a creative, fascinating project, what a lame way to out themselves.
Still doesn't pass the smell test to me.
Seriously, why bail before 10.12.06 anyway? They would have been more effective keeping silent or doing just enough to string everyone along.
Somethings rotten in the state of Denmark.
And I think I'll have that beer. Thanks, counselor!

I agree that that "confession" was more or less for us and not the YT casual fans, this makes sense. Like, maybe we'll "get off their backs" trying to hunt them down.
The only things I think we were able to affect the story with so far has had to deal with her putting socks on because of her dirty feet and them putting clues in the videos to "time stamp" them...I'm not convinced we'll be able to affect the plot in the future (and am not sure I want to...I wanted to see where THIS PLOT was going) *crying like a baby*

I've verified that only an admin can create a forum. Only an admin, or a hacker, could do it. So the options are:
1. It's real 2. It was done by a hacker 3. The admins are pushing false info for reasons unknown

I just came up with a horrible thought. What if they either expect us by word of mouth, or through their own promotion, point EVERYONE over to the forum2 by saying "look we confess here!" Join our boards and see what's up! Could it be they were so desperate with their failing boards that they instituted this ploy to save them and bring all their fans over?

clue: Pissed is a BIG DIFFERENCE from dissapointed. OK I agree, disappointed is better. Not trying to up the rhetoric, just pointing out the whole thing is oddly in keeping. HyeMew- Maybe not specifically desperate to get forum2 going (not working,) but they are trying to juice the story (working.)

Like I said, people here have created more interesting plots. Why they would even admit is beyond me, who is interested in a story when all your investment in the characters within is false. If we are expected to influence the plot and evolve with them - well isn't that a bit like porno women responding via camera online to what the male subscribers suggest they do? I have no interest in telling a group of people what to do so they can become famous actors online. They have shown an immense lack of imagination which bores me.
Nevertheless, I think if they go down this road there are bound to be a lot better fakes out there that this team of sleuthers can uncover.

From that board: "Most users ever online was 115 on Fri Sep 08, 2006 1:01 am" That was a bit after the announcement. There's 76 right now, so it's pretty much a drop in the bucket.
