The perfect subject for a forum discussion because we will never know the true version of what happened.
If TW were to appear on here tomorrow to explain everything, what would happen?
If he maintained that it was not a hoax and posted a completely new, exclusive and unmodified image to prove his point:
Group A would believe him and rejoice saying, "Lo! TW is truly come again amongst us."
Group B would say, "He's still trying to fool us all. That's not even the same girl."
If he admitted that it was a hoax:
Group B would believe him and say, "See, he's admitted it. Not that he ever fooled us in the first place."
Group A would say, "That's not the real TW."
And Mammeister would say TW was Corinne Meadowlark all the time.
