The story so far...

In the previous section, Tenebris successfully revived the Moon Children's old website - Youshouldnthavedonethat.net (YSHDT.net). Just like before, YSHDT.net was stuck in a looping three-day-cycle in the year 2010. The three days seemed to be repeating the three final days of the Moon Children before they were all killed by Matt - an event that took place at a party he was hosting on Sunday - September 19th, 2010.

Each cycle that YSHDT.net experienced was slightly different from the last, implying that each one was from a different timeline. Because of this, it is somewhat difficult to determine what exactly took place in 2010. Additionally, some characters found on YSHDT.net were speaking from the present while others were stuck in 2010. An example of this was Rosa, who gave the players useful information regarding the current state of YSHDT.net. There was also Tenebris, who was still lacking a physical body thanks to the players rescuing SKM earlier in the year.

By searching through various files hidden on the website, the players learned a bit more about the history of the Moon Children. The cult's testimonials revealed the identities of two members. First was Jeremy J. - a friend of Hank's who had a son of his own sometime in 1998. He also claimed to have a brother who was interested in joining the cult. The second was Kelbris - Hank, whose last name is revealed to be Hubbard. Here, Hank reveals that he had a wife who went by the nickname "Ana" - Ben's mother. It's also implied that Matt was actually a son of Hank's as well, though there are still many loose ends regarding this detail...

As the players progressed through three different cycles, their objective started to become clear - they had to break into the enigmatic locked page from 2010 - The Truth. Unfortunately, this was easier said than done. Rosa claimed that doing so would require the sacrifice of both herself and her brother Matt to Kelbris. However, it's likely that this was referring to their counterparts from 2010 found on YSHDT.net - not their present-day selves. Additionally, Kevin was somehow going to be involved in this process too. However, the players would ultimately have to await the arrival of The Four Giants before they could finally enter The Truth.

In the meantime, they learned that the reason why Matt suddenly turned on the Moon Children in 2010 was likely because he was confronted by Kelbris and placed into some sort of trance. Afterwards, Matt began spouting Lunar Children beliefs and killed off his fellow cultists. The players also learned that Tenebris was currently acting as an amalgamation of sorts. The primary spirits within him seemed to be himself, Ben, and Tyler. However, whether or not this was the present-day Tyler that the players were familiar with or a Tyler from YSHDT.net in 2010 is unknown. Regardless, this Tyler would occasionally reach out to the players and give them helpful information.

As the third cycle neared its end, a rogue player suddenly submitted a video containing the infamous "Fourth Day Glitch". Despite the protests from players and spirits on YSHDT.net alike, the submission was accepted as YSHDT.net went dark...

Story

Despite protests from the players and YSDHT.net alike, a rogue players submitted the "Fourth Day Glitch". Afterwards, the website went dark.

However, in the early hours of July 13th, 2016, YSHDT.net suddenly returned, albeit heavily distorted. The site was once again displaying strange, cryptic messages in an event that seemed to be a spiritual successor to "The Glitch" from 2010. The third cycle had entered into its glitched fourth day.

Firstly, the site's copyright date now read the current year instead of 2010. Additionally, it hid the following text:

Kevin, bring him to us and be sure the unseen cycle starts no more. We shall end It before It can re start Its game. This shall honor your new title. Glory to the Mother and the path of truth.

The person that Kevin was tasked with retrieving is likely Matt. Also, the "unseen cycle" referred to here is possibly referencing the looping cycles that YSHDT.net is undergoing. However, the full context of this statement is unknown...

This site's banner text also read as follows: "WHY DID YOU DO THAT". Additionally, the front page now featured several strange announcements:

Subject: update

Sorry Alex, Im actually not gonna be able to pull through on the room SPLITing plan I have some stuff on the internet I am working on with some new friends. It's this weird internet game we are playing together yeah I know thats not a good excuse to skit out, I promise next time for sure thogh. Really looking forward to meeting you gericrps.

This message is from someone who was supposedly going to share a room with Alex. However, he's now informing Alex that he's cancelling this plan because he's too busy playing a game on the internet with some friends.

It's likely that this was actually posted by Tyler. This is because the name of the avatar for this announcement was "link.jpg". As we all know, Tyler is the players' link. Additionally, Alex had a friend back in 2010 who was also named Tyler. It's possible that the two of them were planning on sharing a college dorm room at some point. Further down the page was a similar announcement:

Posted: @ null

Subject:

Hey Kevin mind if I come over tomorrow? I wanted to hang out before I head off to college. This Alex guy is kind of weird and he is probably going to be my only company the entire time.

Judging by the filename of this post's avatar, it is likely that this, too, is intended to be a message from Tyler. However, this filename is capitalized.

In this post, Tyler is speaking to Kevin. He's hoping to hang out one last time before going off to college to presumably share a room with Alex. It is likely that this is a completely different version of Tyler from the previous announcement - In one timeline, Tyler went to college and shared a dorm room with Alex. In another, Tyler never shared a dorm room with Alex and instead played an internet game with some friends.

Whether or not either of these versions of Tyler is meant to be the one that the players are all familiar with is unclear. Ultimately, Tyler's history in relation to all of this is still unknown. Regardless, this seems to confirm that the "Tyler" mentioned by Alex back in 2010 indeed holds some connection to the Tyler that we all know.

The page also featured a few other announcements:

Subject:

acrifice unto thee. I call unto the goddess to grant me power, make me king. For I shall walk as the one to be known as true. Father shall be my true title and gone is the wé|the misguided. I am father in the tongue of old. By this sacrifice of innocence I call forth my power and!l×ich is dead through ascension of mind body and soul. I greet the mother, my maiden and bride once more.

This post's avatar suggests that it is a message from Patrem. Here, Patrem is seen chanting some sort of prayer or ritual. Within it, he seeming accepts the title of "Father" and claims that he's making some sort of sacrifice of innocence. It's possible that this is actually referring to the ascension of his son, Ben, prior to his own ascension into Patrem. Interestingly, he claims he's hoping to meet "the mother, my maiden and bride once more" - likely referring to the fact he considered his wife "Ana" to be a human incarnation of Luna...

It was a mistake, I know now I needed to be lying, eothe wrong people. We really are children after all eh Tom? We just didn't know what the fuck we were getting ourselves into.

This final announcement is from one of the "R" individuals mentioned previously. It is likely that this is actually a message from Ryukaki - Kayd, due to the mention of Tom, or Thomas. Thomas was one of Kayd's friends who assisted him in uploading his final messages to the internet. This message seems to be Kayd lamenting the fact that both he and Thomas somehow got too far in over their heads - though in what way exactly is unknown.
