I don't know about disgraceful, but I found it embarrassing to see so much effort poured into A Day with Spongebob Squarepants. The current Wiki article still reads like a hoax ("Mr Orange," really?) and for a long time, it was an unreadable mess.
Even if that movie existed, it would've automatically been fodder for "most disappointing found media." The company that was attached produced documentaries that could be described as Wikipedia articles narrated by Siri set to a Google Image Search slideshow. Nothing good, or even funny bad, would've come out of them.
But whatever, people are free to be interested in whatever they want. I'm sure someone finds the amount of effort I put into looking for old dubs embarassing, too.

I wouldn't say that the movie would have been disappointing as a piece of found media, anyone who did even the least bit of research (meaning, read the synopsis) would have known it would be absolutely unwatchable. It was more curiosity as to where it went off to that triggered the search I'd say. Also, Mr Orange was the guy's pseudonym, the name wasn't meant to trick people. Although it is questionable as to what happened with the guy, considering the Kickstarter never showed up. Maybe this guy was a fake? Who knows at this point, really.
I was in the discord group this one time chatting with a newer user in the NSFW/NSFL media section. He and I were talking about The Christine Chubbuck Tape, and had a friendly debate about people withholding and releasing this type of media. We didn't reach a full agreement, but we also made comparisons to Budd Dwyer, and other such footage.
I end up having to leave, and I come back to see I've been tagged. This guy who tagged me, my God he was something else. So apparently the person I was chatting with either left, or was banned, but every last message he sent was gone. So this giant discussion we were having is now a giant block of my on text.
This idiot saw this giant block of text of mine, and pretty much called me a freak for taking to myself. Kept on ranting about how I was a "retard" and "edgy". Ironic,considering this guy was claiming to be Ricardo Lopez...someone who committed suicide after attempting to murder someone by lacing a parcel and sent bomb threats.
Like, trolling is one thing, but actually insulting me and trying to claim your this obsessed freak who tried killing others before killing himself is beyond unacceptable...
I definitely think Mr.Orange was legit, and I can imagine his ambitions for the kickstarter were shattered when the mystery was solved and people literally just stopped caring. I was there for the whole thing and by the end I didn't really care if the kickstarter happened or not.
But yeah we definitely all knew the movie would be no better than any other Reagal movies. I think it became more about the principle of it all and seeing if we could get to a conclusion.
If anything about ADWSS was disgraceful to me, it would be how the Reagal employees were just the most difficult people to work with. I'm sure they got hundreds of messages about a movie that never even existed, but waaaaaaay early on in a search, a simple tweet from Lorenzo saying "not sure what ADWSS is" would have stopped like 90% of the messages that continued for probably over a year.
But instead we just thought they were purposely ignoring us or purposely keeping secret information so that's why we kept pestering them about it.

That's fair, I mean some people might have watched/contributed to it, but it's questionable if it would have succeeded. Probably the odds of it happening keeps getting lower with the more time passing since the end of the search.

Yeah, but to be fair he never really did anything about it. There were enough people here who would've funded whatever he had in mind. I would actually say the mystery was solved and he stopped caring, not the other way around.

Remember how Lorenzo said the movie existed? Promotional copies, and the whole nine yards, but the "creator" said nothing but a script was done.
I still am weary you can just list anything on Amazon just to gauge interest.

They're probably enough of a "reputable" vendor (listed enough things that were sold) that they could do things like that, or they put up the listing and immediately just said it was sold out to bypass anything that would have made Amazon say "don't do that".
