LOL Ditto. Send this to every ignorant Hate comment posted about "slower" and quitting cubers...

I think you're misunderstanding the situation here. I don't think anyone dislikes MMAP because he's slow. I think that people just dislike his personality.

I think you're misunderstanding my post here. i included talking about his "voice" which is, im sure the "personality people are talking about

I wasn't quite referring to that. I'll be completely honest here, based on what I've seen in his videos, I don't think we'd get along well if we went to the same school or something. It isn't his voice, it's really the entire package.

Hey by the way, after going through all 13 pages of this thread again, I was unable to spot the "hate" comments you speak of, just a bunch of people who (quite understandably) don't give a shіt that this guy:

apparently no longer wants to solve rubik's cubes anymore.

well if you were to watch the rest of his videos. you notice around family and friends he doesnt act like that always. his video personally is just that. a video personality. dont judge until you meet him

I kind of feel bad for pi, the fact that quite a few people don't like him because of his voice. Pi seems like a respectable person and a nice guy. I'm sure that pi has read this thread as he is a member on this forum. If I was sitting here reading these comments and they were about me I would probably start crying.

I completely agree with this. As far as personality is concerned, a lot of people seem to be different in real life compared to their videos. I'm sure most people on this forum know it's kind of awkward to speak to a small box

anyway, I got into cubing primarily because of MM&P, but then I went on to learn how to get faster elsewhere. It seems that MM&P is a good person to draw people into cubing, but the teaching advanced tutorials should be left up to faster people.

When I was new to cubing, I loved MM&P's videos. They helped me learn how to progress, and made me realize there was a lot more to cubing then aligning a few stickers. His tutorials are beautifully made, so I could understand them when I was a beginner, and I still refer back to his assembly tutorials.

However, his videos probably aren't targeted towards the whole cubing community. There are many people who already know about the things he is covering, so it's a little bit of overkill to spend a third of an hour on them. But sometimes, long videos that have a lot of detail are good. Just it's too much for a Vlog.

And as far as quitting cubing is concerned, I agree with some people who said that announcing that you are quitting can cause much more commotion than needed, like in the case of Yu Nakajima. It seems to be that if MM&P prefers crocheting to cubing, then making the change in videos slowly would probably reduce the amount of subscribers he would lose overtime. And MM&P seemed to enjoy the editing and vlogging part of videos a good deal. His videos were truly editing masterpieces, and everything flowed together nicely.

Quitting cubing is a personal decision, and personally, I think that if I had to pick a priority in life, I would put cubing pretty dang near the bottom of my picks, especially if my interests were changing.

I hope I haven't offended anyone with this post, it's just what I think.

 

[Dene]

WAY too many long posts guys. Please keep it to under 50 words. MMP isn't worth that much of my time.

 

[Pestvic]

man.. after re reading this.. i realized i posted more than i needed to. but i did it to get my point across. quit hating on people for no reason. no one needs that type of treatment for a quit video, or being slow, or a weird video personality. or for any lame reason at all. if you want to post that you dont care if he leaves or, that it doesnt matter to you then so be it. but calling him gay and who gives a **** hes worthless and what not. thats just not cool. anyway

peace guys

aprils fools joke here are something i found the video was made:

MeMyselfAndPi Status Update #22 (An Important Announcement)
2,705 views - 1 day ago

and this comment was made:
#

MeMyselfAndPi Ugh, you got me!

But this seems pretty reasonable, I think I even heard that he was releasing one. The only thing that I got suspicious about is that you used the picture of the costumed made Petaminx made by that one guy...
1 day ago


and pestvic and some other guy said this
#
drewsky684 nice joke, pi did one and EVERYONE took him seriously and unsub'd 14 hours ago
#
PestVic @drewsky684 yeah i saw! haha holy crapo he lost like 800+ 14 hours ago

 

[Kirjava]

yeah really. i would try to fit in. but im not a 14 year old with nothing better to do than troll forums hating on people who arent sub 20.


but really. my response to this....

C-mon... WOW all the 12 and 14 year old egos in here.. its sad (by this i mean everyone acts this age. unless you are that age, then it applys to you) so is this what the cubing community is? if you aren’t sub 20 you are noob? is this why i get tons of messages saying people like me cause i dont ignore them and think im "all that" like everyone else that is sub 20? Thats saying something about the personality's of all the fast cubers, and cubing community.... not good. The only level headed responses ive seen here is from Stefan. He is the only one that seems to look at the whole situation/picture and think maturely. You all remind me of people who play WOW (world of warcraft) “GOSH HASHSEHEHHSHE YOU’RE A TOTAL NEWOOOB YOU ARENT LEVEL 70-80 YET?!?”
get over yourselves lol.
as for pi leaving. if that's what he wants to do then so be it. i wouldn't be surprised that the reason he never got fast or into cubing is cause lame ass people like you guys who put down everyone who isn't 12 second average.
i remember wanting to quit cubing because i thought the community was going to be way more fun. instead i get people posting hate forums on me and whatever other lame stuff. now, i didnt want to quit because of the hate comments, i could care less about what people think or say about me. the reason i thought about leaving is because i realized, what a bunch of egotistic childish people the "fast" cubers were. this forum thread proves a lot of that stereotype. i didnt want to get involved in something where people treat other fellow cubers like that. (who cares if they are slow. WE ALL started that slow. some people just progress faster because they have more time and dedication to the cube than others)
anyway,
then i went to nationals and met lots of fast cubers, fast cubers who were actually cool, like Stefan, rowe, tyson, frank morris, shelly (she did an intro for me i havent used yet), ryan P, and more, etc. they were all really down to earth. lots of good laughs.

when i finally met these people in person and realized how cool people actually can be. it got me back into it. now reading these threads again, man, how annoying.

whats with all the hate toward someone like pi leaving? (if he even is... i mean the video WAS posted on April 1st, but i do realize that so many people are just to stupid to realize that it might be a april fools joke... (no offence to people who didnt catch it)

are you all that insecure? or is it because that hes a slower cuber that has tons of subscribers? jealous of him? or the fact that he uses that "weird voice" people talk about. i mean whats the deal i really want to know.

anyway i hope i get either hate comments back. or actual mature respective comments back.
1. hate comments - ill be happy because, everyone is just proving my point.
2. respective responses - ill be happy because, well there might be hope for the cubing community...

anyway, let me know what your guys' problems are.

P.S. we got plans for the 5AC channel people might actually like. be patient.

P.S.S. by "ALL" when referring to the cubers and community, i mean all the haters. (sorry for the confusion)

Allow me to defuse your entire argument in one sentence;

Noob means someone who can't think for themselves, not someone who is slow.

Because he's the dorky misfit and you're so cool?

 

[Edmund]

Just remember a lot of you guys have better 6x6s because of him, rite? But if he wants to quit why is it such a big deal? I cube but he doesn't interfere with me and my cubing. I am a little annoyed by him because I suspect he has brought a lot of noobs into the community but I think we've probably all been a little too harsh, myself included. But one thing you have to realize is he deserves his subscribers more than the vast majority of this forum do because he created a good mod. So I think we should lay off the comments.

I just have to say I'm tired of this phrase. Just about everyone was a "noob" brought into the community by someone else. And alot of those "noobs" turned out to be outstanding members.

 

[Feryll]

Since when are noobs such a horrible plague? Most noobs are just bad enough to make a horrible thread or two then get sense beaten into them. And besides, noobs are the funny idiots we like to chuckle at

The only noobs I hate are noobs who post impossibly low but real looking averages, 'cause then people say "Lol, only 9.21 average? I saw a guy on youtube do it in 6 seconds 12 times in a row!"

 

[Stefan]

what a bunch of egotistic childish people the "fast" cubers were.

Even people who average like 35 seconds bash people who are slower >_>

I think you got that the wrong way. I think the actual fast cubers are *less* likely to show animosity towards slower ones. Less than the "medium" cubers, I mean. In a sense, I'd roughly say from 50 to 20 seconds is the adolescence of cubing, not just speed-wise but also behavior-wise (though it's just a rule of thumb, other factors like age and time spent in forums also play a role).

One more thing I'd like to point out: Pi himself didn't announce it here, someone else did. So people stating they don't care, I take that as criticism not of Pi but of taking his video to the forum. Had Pi posted it here, that indeed would've made him a bit of a drama queen or attention seeker (or good prankster, in case it's a joke), but posting on his channel to inform the many people whose attention he already has, that's perfectly reasonable.
