@pottman say what you want to say fact is Spencer is nothing without his fans, and I say your wrong again pottman, it's fucking faggot who really owns the site you little twat, if Uni wishes it all of Stalins legacy on here can be deleted.
I'm not even going to pretend that I know anything about what triggered the forum shut-down as I have no idea who this Koba is besides Stalin's girlfriend. I thought the forums were on a bad path before all this. Based on the info given in the last Vlog, I'm just going to go ahead and side with Spencer on this, because I don't give a fuck what she did, any forum that acts with that much hostility to something as trivial as forum drama is fucking dumb.
I haven't posted in a while, but I'd check the forums every now and again, and it just seemed worse every single time I checked. When both ends of the political spectrum intermingle with one another, that's just bad news. The way the forums was moderated was WAY too overthought(applying politics to forum moderation is NEVER a good idea under any circumstance) and the Politics section was a goddamn dissaster area of negativity. Its probably best that the forum died because that community didn't mesh all too well imo.
As a temporary messure i've created a subreddit for the remaining members of the NKVD to gather. If anyone here is more qualified for this then I am, shoot me a pm on reddit.

@pottman yeah thats the solution blindly follow anything spencer does after all he is a god right? He can obviously do no wrong right? >.> all joking aside let me just say that in this case it does matter who started it as the whole reason the forums got deleted was because Stalin took the side of Koba who did in fact cause the drama shit storm, I bet that coniving Succubus was probably plotting the whole downfall of the forums, and you honestly can't tell me that his relationship with Koba hasn't blindsighted him can you? What do you mean he doesn't have to answer to his fans? of course he does! oh you mean the fans that don't always agree with Spencer! in all honesty the questions and complaints that actually make sense should be answered, Stalin should not leave his fans fumbling in the dark. If you feel that he doesn't owe us anything you sir are ignorant, we're the ones that made him popular, we're the ones that make him a profit, and we're the ones that always supported him through thick and thin. The least he could do is answer a few fucking reasonable questions.
I wouldn't doubt that by the time spencer is on here all the comments that make sense on this vid are deleted and the ones praising him stay up because God forbid someone has a different viewpoint on the situation.
It doesn't matter who started the whole mess, the die is cast. Pointing fingers and blaming people isn't going to change the situation. The forums are gone, and that is the fact. I'm okay with the forums shutting down. For those who feel Stalin shouldn't have closed the forums, who are kicking and screaming because you didn't get what you wanted, he doesn't have to answer to you.
Well after looking around, and seeing other peoples perspective (as i did not witness any of this)
I must conclude that in all probability, all those involved are in the wrong.
Provoking (intelligent and amoral) trolls, is a stupid thing to do
Doing something because someone provoked you is not a good reason to something this severe
Killing off the Forums, will just lead too more hate, you might be able to control your site, but the internet is big and odds are the community will migrate to a diffrent forum, and who is to say what people might hold a grudge
(Also this was in no way a threat, cause I can see how someone could perceive it as such)
I love your vids, and i really liked my short stay on the forums.
The only thing i have to say to Stalin though is:
You are completely right that your personal life should be personal and it is your own decision what to make public and how, but when you let your personal life interfere with the forums by pseudo-nepotism (wich is to me what seemed to have happened), it is a certainty people will have questions, some justified, others retarded, but questions nonetheless.
