The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Check out this guy

Asalieri of ''Reviewing the Reviewer'' fame finally cracked and made a video about how people shouldn't vote for That Guy With the Glasses.com, Kickassia, or The Spoony Experiment in the upcoming Mashables awards simply because he perceives (with absolutely no proof) that they're "attention whores" who have ceased to be funny.

He also then preceeds to insult anyone who likes Kickassia, calling them brown nosers or fools. He elaberates on absolutely nothing while pretty much just spouting its popular now it sucks, apparently taking it entirely for granted that his viewership will follow his Commandments just because he says so. Holy shit.

What's sad is that I used to like this guy back when he did actually only target genuinely talentless reviewers such as the Irate Gamer.

If this guy bothers you enough to want to make a whole topic about him, why not just simply ignore him? If he's that bad, he's not worth your time. He isn't the only jerk on YouTube and the web in general. I tend to try to ignore people like that. After all, it's not like they can do much to me.

I made the topic for the purposes of giving you all a train wreck of a video to entertain you. This is seriously some funny stuff for all the wrong reasons.

This doesn't mean anything to me because I'm not a fan of nostalgia critic or whoever. But for the guy in the linked video, he sounds like a whiner half way through it, bitching people out just for voting for TGWTG or whoever. Then the end has something saying "And remember, A vote for TGWTG other than..." and calls people names throughout most of the vid. That is a bit egotistical.

I commented on the linked vid

Well I like Nostalgia Critic. And far as I'm concerned, he doesn't "bitch people to vote for TGWTG". Keep in mind NC is just a character, not the real person.

Oh okay. Yeah I thought the entire post was about Nostalgia Critic and I was confused because I never heard NC try to force people to vote for his site. Whoops. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
