I read through most of them before ever making an account (I didn't do them in order though so it's possible some were missed) but for the love of god, for your own well-being, avoid the threads from when TAB/TINOF was announced, everyone lost their damn minds. It really bummed me out reading it back, you'd think D&P had just blown up a damn orphanage.
I had the same reaction when backreading through the book/tour announcements. It was painful. I've had people who feel that way try to explain it but on a basic level I still just can't grasp it warranting that much anger. But I came along much close to book release time and didn't have any negative associations with it at all.
Same, I think I read them around June and I basically just shrugged and thought "I'm probably going to buy the book, they can have my $20 I don't care that much, and the people that do can just... not... buy... it...?" I didn't get it either.
But because of all that, I've never ever seen the announcement video fake fan. I watched their explanation one in the gaming room, but the actual video, I can't do it for some reason. That thread really just freaked me out.

(Although I do agree that them going silent for 24 hours afterward was probably a bad move that didn't help matters. But they were probably freaked the hell out by the reaction too. Everybody needed a nap I think).
Yeah, I actually didn't read any of the Bour threads. They were super depressing.

[offtopic]I added some new emoticons, guys!

I think the earliest threads are worth it just for that person/s that claimed to have known DP. Whether they were telling the truth or not, it was fun to read their comments to things. What ever happened to them, did they just stop posting? I haven't read any of the later threads yet.

Thanks oqua for doing Lord's work! I'll be using those emojis for sure :lol:

I think he's looking at their producer but it still makes me laugh.

edit: Can I just say that Canada has a dumb system with regard to dates? M-D-Y and D-M-Y are both used here with no rhyme or reason, so I was looking for Oct 8 and not Aug 10. Honestly what kind of a system is that??? We play fast and loose with our "best before" dates sometimes, it's madness.
Good find haha
Also oh my god moving to Canada from the UK I still have no idea how the dates work here I'm probably gonna give myself food poisoning by reading something wrong

I have a question for all you analytical D&P geniuses:
When did Phil start pandering to a younger audience?

We all know he was pretty flirty and sometimes a little risque in his early videos, but when did that stop? And was there a specific event we can blame for his more family friendly transition or was it a gradual process?

Apologies if this has been answered somewhere before

I found it I found it! It was from August 2014 (the show with the whole "boyfriend/cactus" incident..@ 1:04:20 for anybody unfamiliar)
I've watched that clip so many times (just the cactus part), he looks so panicked, it's gold. Poor guy. I never knew what it was actually from though, thanks for the full length vid!

I can't with these smilies and their names love you mods

i would say mid 2011? (edit: i quickly checked amazingphil and i think late 2011 sounds better) when both he and dan started becoming a lot more popular?
i think he gradually changed when his audience started becoming a lot more younger because youtube started becoming a lot more mainstream
but i'm not one of those very organized people like felucca that can pin point exact events, this is just from the top of my mind and what i can remember from 2011 and i was just a casual fan back then
any phil experts out there want to prove me wrong?

I feel like becoming a youtube partner may have played into that, but I can't find any info on when exactly Phil became a partner to see if the timing matches up. I know 2007 is when Youtube launched the program as a pilot with select youtubers, and Shane Dawson applied but was declined in late 2008 because he wasn't big enough yet. Anybody know? And can anyone pinpoint when Phil started toning down the PG+ stuff?

EDIT: Okay, individual partnerships were added in 2009, which coincides with Phil moving into Manchester apartment, but he may not have been a full Youtube partner yet.

I agree with mid to late 2011, yiu can tell by the thumbnails/titles actually, you will see obvious click bait for teens, thumbnail with Robert Pattison or one direction in it, and titles contain words like "gay".

Long time lurker, first time poster etc. etc. etc. You're all so wonderful (and absolutely hilarious ), just wanted to say that and hopefully finally stop being shy and start posting.

Welcome to everyone that has joined now "that place that shall not be named" is finally back online. I hope everyone sees and comes over here.

Loving the new emojis (those codes names though )

I only started reading gg before Japhan and really wanted to read the older threads but never found the time. I remember the Bour thread though. I am glad I was still only a lurker then as I was terribly excited for the Bour!

I hope Dan does a liveshow tonight. It feels like we haven't had one in ages and there has been a lot happening. I will say it will be a good one too.

I don't think zalfie are real power couples, not like phan or pewdiepie/marzia (forgive me of i don't know what they called) way. Alfie doesn't seem to be helping Zoe in anyway. Unlike phan who can basically break everything with their phangirl army wherever they go or like marzipie (I'm just gonna call them that) who are individually accomplished in their own area of expertise.

yeah i agree, i was just joking because the media is always calling zalfie the youtube power couple and to me it looks like they might break up any second now

i already posted this on gg but i'm so angry i want to say it here as well, and i'm pretty sure it's going to make some of you angry too, idk why i decided to watch emma's q&a and she literally tells a queer kid with an homophobic mom to 'just ignore her, your dad is cool' and then proceeded to defend herself in the comments when someone called her out for being insensitive and an idiot, i fucking hate her
