I don't buy it at all. I can't imagine BoC/their representatives even thinking about making a tumblr, for one, and it looks pretty not-them. Like, I know they don't really have a definitive style when it comes to making websites and such.. but I just get that "this is definitely not genuine BoC" feel.

Either it's fake or the people surrounding BoC who maintain their other websites really like Polar Sky his animated gifs.

The URL still exists though? And why did you name it "official" in the first place when it's basically fan made?

i suppose it's sort of hard to explain to people who don't 'tumblr', but i named it thusly simply because i could and for the purpose of saving the url. then one day with a spurt of creativity i decided to make some gifs, and i wanted somewhere to post them that wasn't my main blog, and i put them there. then it caught on.

Did you create all the animated gifs over there? Because two of them were creations of Polar Sky, right?

no i made them all.. but i mean, there's not a lot of material to use really is there ha... especially the opening blips on dayvan cowboy and the boards of canada + logo from invocation, not exactly easy to differentiate from 2 different gifs is it...

I remembered seeing:

on your tumblr. But Polar Sky posted them a couple of days earlier: http://www.twoism.org/forum/viewtopic.p ... 932#166932

Thought that was a bit odd.

Nothing a simple resize couldn't explain, right?

But please don't feel attacked by this matter. I'm just pointing out the oddities here.

You gotta admit people are very skeptic when it comes to anything "official boc" related. Microscopic research work is to be expected.
