Not a comment, just an interesting video on the subject.

I read this thread all the way through a couple of weeks ago - I'm not sure why, because it is so long and there are so many other things that I haven't looked into that I think are more important to look into than whether the moon landing was hoaxed (e.g. the 9/11 thread), but I did it anyway. Afterwards, I figured that I wouldn't play necromancy with the thread by responding, and besides, who really cares what I think? I'm not an expert, and casual opinions are a dime a dozen. But since Stinky Fruit Jackson has revived the thread, and since the whole point of the thread was to solicit opinions... here goes.
Full disclosure: I started with the view that the moon landing was very unlikely to be a hoax, and that the evidence would have to be very compelling to change my mind.
I switched it up between reading the articles at the original link (I didn't make it all the way through them), and checking into the other links and resources posted in this thread. Unfortunately, at the time I got around to reading this thread, some of the linked YouTube videos had already been taken down, and I also chose not to fully watch through every one of the linked videos and resources - basically, I figured that with so many people in the thread, the best evidence would come to the surface in the thread itself, so I didn't need to cast my net too widely.
My initial reaction to the articles linked to in the OP was that there were some interesting points made that at least on the surface deserved a closer look or think about. But then I read several pages of the thread about it on the forum that Paul linked to, and I very quickly recognised that the author had made so many elementary errors, and so very clearly lacked the requisite knowledge and background to make judgements about space and space flight, that his judgement - at least on this issue - couldn't be trusted, and that it wasn't worth digging deep into the articles to see if he had any genuine points - and besides, any of those genuine points would have, I assumed, made their way explicitly into this thread, but I didn't actually see anything particularly compelling (except see next paragraph) in here. So, the articles themselves weren't enough to convince me - at least, not from my very skeptical starting position, and thus the very limited energy I was willing to devote to "hunting for clues that I'm wrong".
The discussion in this thread did raise an interesting potential/apparent anomaly, in particular the sound of hammers striking in a vacuum, and I do not know how to account for this - but then, I'm not a physicist, not even a self-educated one (beyond a few classes in 1996 in an undergraduate engineering degree which by now I've largely forgotten), and I don't think I'm qualified to assess this. I'll just say this: it's very intriguing, but it's not enough in the face of the weight of evidence that the landing was real to change my position - which is definitely not set in stone, just very hard to budge.
So... that's it. Really, I doubt that anyone cares or wanted to know what I thought, but somehow I felt compelled to post, so now, whether or not you wanted to, you do...
I enjoyed reading your thoughts, Laird.
What about the International Fake Station?
If it is a fake, here is a partial list of conspiratorialists:

Ooh, neat idea. What is DID?What if most of the conspiratorialists are human robots with DID developed by the CIA?
Ooh, neat idea. What is DID?
Past tense of 'do'. duhOoh, neat idea. What is DID?

Hahahahahahahaha!! Awesome Show,Great Job! (I love Tim and Eric)Found this and thought I'd share it. I don't have a firm opinion on it:
False. All that would be needed is to somehow convince each that they did in fact go there. There are many ways that could be done.If it is a fake, here is a partial list of conspiratorialists:

I thought that guy, Adam is it? (Never heard of him) was part of the parody until I realized this was supposed to be legit.
I especially loved this gem:
"Preliminary data scooped out of the sieve of the cacophony of the control room" ????? Word salad.
