At 9:14 PM, Nocta announced that Moonman was now banned from the Astral Observatory forums as he was responsible for the spambots. (https://astralobservatory.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&p=2766&sid=5831e347f808e1e9c8499dc6c63fd46a#p2766)

“Hello everyone, is with a heavy heart I let you know that I have banned Moonman. Investigation has led me to discover that he was responsible for the excess of forum spam from bots that we have received, and would continue to receive were registration not stringently controlled as of now. You can thank him for our extremely limited registration capabilities, which will have to continue that way until further notice.”

At 9:16 PM, GHOSTBABEL joined the Discord server and spoke with the players. The full conversation can be read here (https://internetdetectives.tumblr.com/post/186888180043/august-8th-2019-chat-with-ghostbabel). Below is a summary:

Ghostbabel claims that Nocta banned Moonman so that it will not be suspicious when he later disappears, implying that Moonman is in some sort of peril.

Moonman apparently still has secrets he is not telling us.

Ghostbabel agrees to help Moonman if the players can retrieve Helper’s Hat for him.

The hat we will be retrieving is the hat from our timeline, as the one in the Astral Observatory timeline currently belongs to IsocelesAssassin.

Ghostbabel says things will change dramatically once we enter the Subspace.

At 7:48 PM, GHOSTBABEL and Moonman began chatting in the Discord server. The full chat can be read here (https://internetdetectives.tumblr.com/post/186723289123/august-1st-2019-chat-with-ghostbabel-and). Below is a summary:

Ghostbabel reiterates that we must get into the Subspace on Astralobservatory.net, but it will require some planning and we need to be patient for the time being.

Ghostbabel urges players to unite as they had done years ago in the presence of The Gray Man.

Moonman joins the group, seemingly meeting Ghostbabel for the first time. 

Ghostbabel tells Mugen Kagemaru to shut up.

Kaiden has been acting very friendly towards Moonman as of late.

At 8:42 PM, IsocelesAssassin replied to Kaiden’s lore video thread with the following: “Pretty bold to slip in footage of Nocta there Kaiden”. This implies that the man we see in Kaiden’s video when it corrupts near the end is actually Nocta himself. 

At 11:23 AM, Moonman joined the Discord server and had a conversation with the players. Below is a summary. The full chat can be read here (https://internetdetectives.tumblr.com/post/185728429383/6519-chat-with-moonman)

Moonman is actually alive and not ascended, he has just been laying low.

Moonman has gained access to Nocta’s account on Astral Observatory.

The last place one could access the secret “subspace” on Astral Observatory was through The Truth board, though it may have been moved.

Moonman is about to do one final act of defiance. 

At 11:59 AM, users discovered a new topic created by Moonman using Nocta’s account titled “!?!”. The topic simply read “be free internet detectives”. Users then realized they had moderator powers and began combing the site.

At 12:13 PM, users discovered that Nocta had deleted a few topics. 

A topic from Yuukichan was deleted back on January 20th that no one had seen before. The topic was titled “ascension” and simply read “are you awake?” Yuukichan was the one who was ascended, and has been for quite some time.

A topic created by Nocta himself had been deleted from The Truth on November 12th titled “The History of Us” The thread’s contents could not be recovered.

A test topic created by Nocta himself. The contents could not be recovered and it is likely not relevant.
