Here is what my memory tells me we know so far about her location:
- Looking at the timestamps of their postings and email/message replies suggests somewhere on the West Coast of the US.
- A possible IP trace/whois of their email header or from their visiting of a website may or may not have suggested Mountain View
- They have a potential connection with an attorney (Kenny G) who trademarked lg15 and lives in Encino (near LA). He did, however go to law school in SF.
- A few botanists and novices have said the flora in the swimming vid is endemic to the Southwest US. The watering hole is supposely similar to those found in that area, too.
- She has a disprportionate number of friends from Ohio. (Unverified)
Anything I'm forgetting??

From her comments (take all this with a big grain of salt)
She has seen hummingbirds and gophers out her window, and has a pond with turtles in her backyard
She has visited Santa Monica
The nearest mall is 'like...sheesh...I think three hours from here'
The spot where they went hiking in the first hiking video is a two and half hour drive away
When asked where she lives she responded: 'I am in the leftish center side of the country if facing it from the southnorth'

That leftish side of the country if facing from the southnorth thing is one of the comments that makes me think that some kind of actual person in their late teens or early 20s (i.e., possibly even Bree or Daniel) is writing lg15's comments. West coast is certain; and I think Mountain View is likely, partly because I had a very strange series of visits to my web site within thirty seconds of my posting on the original board for the first time (and again when I posted my feeling that we should move to a new forum). But, obviously IP addresses can be misleading, if you really really want them to be. I just don't think it's likely. That said, the person running the web site isn't necessarily in the same location as the cast or the filmmakers. -John www.sparksflyup.com

Isn't this just as likely to have been Bukanator (SF-based web designer) as Bree?

Aah, no, I appreciate it-- it was nearly 3:00am when I finally finished doing all of this. I'll go fix it-- but next time it'd be nice for a PM to not clog up the boards. Thanks! <3
Edit: Religion is one of the only words I can not spell, and after I went though and fixed all the times I said "religion"-- the word has now lost all meaning to me. *wrinkles forehead* XD

Mettle,
Yes, absolutely. But Bukanator, as far as I'm concerned, is as much a part of lg15 (or seems to be where I'm sitting) as anyone else.

Hi,
I've been wanting to point out that in the video discussing the powers of ants working in groups, she makes a human distance comparison between LA and Central Park. What struck me is that while many people have heard of Central Park, many would also add "Central Park in New York" to the description. In my opinion she seems to have some familiarity with New York.

What hosting provider is really hosting this site? (I can find out, but...) Anyway, I owned an ISP for 10 years and I know something about locating IP addresses, but the trick is getting first hand access to the server to really examine the logs. Surely a cadre of the hoaxers would be hitting this site and some careful analysis of the logs could reveal some patterns.
Also, the place where they went swimming sure looks like Southern California, as has been discussed. Surely it was not so remote or isolated that a) no one recognizes it as a popular SoCal swimming spot, b) they would hike deep into the desert to find this place to swim and shoot their video, and not be seen in the process (though who would find a couple of kids with a camcorder to be unusual...) Anyway, where *is* this spot? Looks kinda like a place I have been to inland from Monterey called Arroyo Seco but Calif is a big state and it's not the place; it just looks similar.
C'mon California outdoor types!

Hiya sanberdooboy, Thanks for the post. I've noticed this post in three threads - probaby should only be in one, though. It doesn't really fit Location, I think.

Mettle: It fits location if we can find out where this SilentGay guy lives. XD

Mettle: It fits location if we can find out where this SilentGay guy lives. XD (See Full Profile) has his hometown as Pittsburgh. This fits my half-c*cked Videodrome theory! I want you to stay away from them. Those mondo-weirdo video guys. You know, in some countries, like Argentina, making subversive video is considered a criminal act. They execute people for it. In Pittsburgh... WHO KNOWS? The board changed half-co*ked to half-thingyed, which is way more lewd than my original word.

Passer: Sorry about that-- I didn't think anyone would use the word in the way you did, and I didn't think we'd have any reason to use the word c*ck in this forum >.>
