I completely forgot what day it was on April 1st

[shelley]

Shelly I did ended up reading it. If you look back at that forum, there are posts that are similar to "who cares what his videos say, hes slow" and "reviews for cubes don't matter if the person is slow" Its like saying if you aren't fast you aren't worth anything to the community via, videos, posts, reviews, etc. that's what i meant, and what i was talking about. Not only that forum. Lots more I've seen, and lots about the Five Awesome Cubers Channel.

You know, now that you mention it, I remember an incident a couple of years ago where someone asking for F2L help completely disregarded my advice (learn F2L intuitively) in favor of Jason Baum's (memorize algs) just because Jason was faster than me. I just figured screw him, I'm not going to help him anymore.

I'm just saying that if he's doing it on purpose, then his objective will be to gauge reaction and how much people see him. Seems a little Narcissistic to me, but if in the same position, where everyone loved my videos but i was not getting mush from making them, then I would try my best to make it seem like I was quitting to see why I wasn't happy after making videos anymore. Either that or he's leaving, and If he does then I don't blame him. Some people on here can be really immature and stupid.


But If he is quitting I wish him good luck on his quest to discover himself, but I really don't care if he leaves. his videos were**** His voice was **** the body language he used in his videos made him look like gollum, and his solve times were not bad, but they really lacked the audacity to make him a role model to other cubers. For this reason, I do not idolize him. I do not look up to anyone in cubing and condemn people who do.

MM&P may be gone for now, but I predict he will be back.

So deal with it

Seriously

Lol yes

Well, there's no point for this thread now other than random arguing, so can someone close it please? Thanks.

 

[Logan]

hahahaha! I KNEW it was a joke... but was it worth losing 150+ subscribers?

 

[Edmund]

it was a joke...

I thought that was common knowledge. The arguing was just those who didn't care vs. those who wanted him to say but we knew he was staying.

Obviously the 150 odd people who unsubscribed didn't think it was a joke.

Don't judge me YOU CAN'T JUDGE ME.

The internet's been around for years and years. April Fools Day has been around for even longer. I'm surprised by how many people still haven't learned not to trust anything on the internet on April 1st. Come on!

Fixed it for you.

I wasn't online much on Thursday or yesterday but today I've been going WTF every time I turn my head before noticing when something was posted...

Wow, lots of morons I didn't know you were being serious about the 150. But as far as this forum goes I'm pretty sure we all knew it was fake.

Um... what?

@ Pestvic:

Vic, Vic, Vic, Vic.....

Why so serious?
You didn't need to get all worked up about the haters and noobs. There is no need to argue with them over and over again if you already made your point, because it gets really easy to differenciate noobs from mature people as they comments on your argument. Noob comments will just prove your point more, but if you try to reason with them it would only show that your maturity is just the same as them.
Plus, most of the people (especially faster peoples) in the cubing community are not noobs, and many of the "noobs" may just be misled by some others.

Given the apparent intelligence level of a portion of his audience, I really do think he is going to lose a big chunk of subscribers who are stupid enough to believe this.

Obviously the 150 odd people who unsubscribed didn't think it was a joke.

Damn I'm good.

 

[~Phoenix Death~]

- Noob is playing games with others where quick communication is essential and where typos or terms like "ur" are thus reasonable (better type "ur" and barely dodge the missile than type "your" and get killed).


So yeah, I think the problem is exactly like you said: They don't understand the differences between situations and they want to fit in, so they just copy behavior without thinking for themselves and do it all wrong.

LOL. Love the first part.

Good Grief! What a thread! Man!

Okay, I really DON'T want to take the time to respond to people directly here, it would take too long. I see someone already posted my video here... But as StefanPochmann privately requested, here's the graph of my subscribers:

Note, I do think it was worth it, he he he!

 

[Cride5]

Looks like just as many subscribed as unsubscribed on April fools. You've probably just replaced a few gullible cubers for a few crochet fans. Can't complain really

 

[Stefan]

here's the graph of my subscribers:

Thanks. Doesn't quite look like 150 lost, more like 22. You know what would've been cool? If they had fooled you right back, 5000 unsubscriptions on April 1, then all resubscribing after your reaction.
