The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

So, there's this plot going on right now, following a group of people originally working on a film called Marble Hornets, together, whose lives have been drastically changed over the last several years by a very tall humanoid form in a suit--who appears to have the ability to plague people with disease, possibly control people, and do a real number on recordings of it, as well as two masked individuals. Jay, the narrating voice, is attempting to figure out the mystery of what is going on, as well as recover whatever scraps of memories he can from the past 7 months of his life that he does not remember at all, having awaken in a hotel in a place he does not recognize, and encountering only one other person in the hotel, save the staff. Both of them have experienced severe memory loss, and when Jay finally decides to open up to the other person, she vanishes. He discovers the passcode to get into the safe in his hotel in her room, and upon opening the safe, to a large stack of tapes and a hard drive, he is attacked and has to flee. Present day, he is going through this new mess of tapes to try and figure out what has happened over the past few years, as well as his total blackout for 7 months.

All the information is organized here, join in the mystery. (If you read everything on the page, please don't spoil it for others.)

Ah yes, Mr. Slender Man.

For those who don't understand, Slender Man is a faceless man that can stretch and bend and do all sorts of creepy stuff. He sneaks up on people and does god knows what to them. He got the ball rolling on 4chan on the /x/ forum as a CreepyPasta.

I don't want to go too in depth into it, but you can view his KnowYourMeme page, which also goes a little bit into Marble Hornets.

Me? I don't find CreepyPastas all that creepy, so I actually laughed while watching those Marble Hornet clips on YouTube. Same thing went for Suicide Mouse. Both are so over the top, I can't help but stifle a giggle or laugh out loud. Plus, it's just not my thing to get scared at at CreepyPasta.

D: I said don't spoil it lol. You get more of a thrill out of it if you don't know whether it's real or not.

I frankly love Marble Hornets. I find it so interesting and scary all at once.

This is actually the 10,000th topic on the wiki. I wonder when the 100,000th one will be made?

Probably not for a long time :lol
Growing up I was a big LBT fan and had seen all movies and TV series episodes. On the forum, I was formerly known as Hypnobrai until Nov 11, 2017.

In recent years, I have gained an interest in the production of The Land Before Time, particularly the deleted scenes of the original film. New discoveries have been made in the last few years and continue to be made, so I feel that it is a good time to contribute.

I have always loved sharpteeth more than any other creatures in the franchise, such as the fourteenth film's Carnotaurus, the fifth film's Sharptooth, and #1 by far - the original Sharptooth.

From 2017-2019, I was an administrator for the LBT wiki.

Marble Hornets actually concluded a few years ago.
