Dang, looks like it's been a while since anyone has really said anything about this. Is there some discussion taking place elsewhere or has everyone just gotten fed up with the whole thing?

Well, some people I know and I have been considering looking into this. I guess I'll put up what we discover (if anything) on the main web site.

One thing I was wondering though, how did you all get started working on this? Did you start from the very first announcement and work your way forward?

I just kind of randomly dipped into the ads when I first found out about them. The do have references to earlier ones, and at some point you will start from 1 and work your way through them.

I was kind of hoping that the thread here on the FTMB could be used to air some of my wild speculations and only submit pretty sure facts to Brian's website.

Welcome to the board.

There are a number of threads that lie dormant for ages and then get sudden bursts of activity, so it's not all that unusual. Occasionally new info, evidence, theories or whatever will show up and the thread will come back to life. Come to that, there are a lot of posters who don't say anything unless they actually have something to say Smile.

I'm bumping this thread because Mr. Hance just got a package and, once again, I'm not sure how to read this "clue" and yet at the same time it fits the protestant belief system aspects of the MDM.

Lately, the packages and letters have been postmarked Las Vegas, NV. This is making me think one person might be behind it all.

BUMP!!

This is utterly bizarre! First time I ever heard of it!

General consensus--if any?!

Thank you. The most recent, June 2012, is a lot more detailed than other recent ones.. lots in there. Cromwell, his son in law Ireton, their contemporary (and fellow General) Gustavus Adolphus, Pelagius, tapeworms, Norbert's house-widener... that's my Saturday afternoon sorted then...

Just checked out the MaydayMystery site for the first time in months as whenever I had looked recently it was just saying he (Bryan) didn't have time to do any updates or whatever, and there's finally a bunch of new updates in the 'recent developments' section.

I've been following it for many years now, and still the whole thing feels a bit weird. Not least why 'they' continue to send him messages and bizarre gifts apparently in support of his website and his attempts to unravel the mystery. Especially since in the last few years his unravelling seems to have been limited to posting copies of the ads and that's about it. And since all comments or queries posted by others need to be moderated and hand-added to the web pages by Bryan, it means when he doesn't have time to do so, everything backs up. (which I guess would be a good reason for losing interest if you thought it would take a week of solid work to plough through everything that had been sent in...)

Has anyone found any other websites exploring this? I know several people have offered to help out or run a forum or wiki-type site to save on Bryan's clearly limited time but nothing has ever been forthcoming.

Maybe he figured it out and has been adopted into the cult and no longer needs help... Smile

Steve.

No, I haven't found any other place that has really persisted with discussion of the Mayday mystery. I think most people find this somewhat intriguing when they first encounter it, but lose interest after months of only managing to scratch chips off the surface.

One of the reasons I started the thread here on the FTMB was that I wanted to avoid posting speculative theories on Bryan's site. For a while there, it seemed by reading a little into the ads, some very interesting stories could be spun.

Lately Bryan has seemed to have either lost interest or the time to keep the site updated. There used to be a handful of posters that seemed to have some very good insights, but also have seemed to go quiet. Probably completed their degrees and moved on.

Has anyone else who's followed the ads for years noticed the change in the last few years? It looks like a new editor has taken over. The ads seem more concise, less "baroque" for want of a better characterization.

Anybody else monitoring this anymore?

Looks like no ad was placed for 5/2013.
