As is evident from the number of threads about the situation, specifically this one, I decided that a thread listing all previous theories could be used as a basis for any newcomers with a theory or idea to present to us. From an immediate search, the only topics that covered this were Darkside's thread and the one referenced earlier.
As is the time of year, many newcomers and new threads are being produced, all with ideas and theories of their own. This is often healthy for the community, leading to a good discussion about the matter. However, it is often that many of these theories are repeated or rehashed, and this can lead to annoyance, anger and much flaming about the "noobyness" of someone.
I felt it necessary, therefore, that a database, of sorts, should be erected to hold any already discussed ideas so that anyone with a "new" idea could easily check to see whether their idea has already been discussed, but also so that everyone can think about each theory for themselves. Because, as with many shrouded things, different ideas stem to try and answer questions people will often answer, and conflicts will arise.
After a quick search through the forums I couldn't find any topics covering this except for Darkside's rant against Gman theories and the "myths" thread that this thread came from.
I would appreciate it if anyone with a link to a thread containing a/many theory/theories along with their discussions. Useful titles to the links would be nice, and any threads with spoilers in them should be labelled.
Please refrain from commenting/discussing/spamming in this topic. Only links to appropriate discussions.
Thank you.
I hope this thread might help newcomers to organise their thoughts.
