Please Stalin! could you play more Cossack II, when you have time of course.

I haven't been on the forums much for a while now so I'm not too sure about what happened, but from the comments below it appears that Koba started it so I don't think the forums should have been closed down, especially if you were ignoring the complaints about the matter which led to the forums being shut down and you did nothing to prevent what happened, but your site, your rules I suppose.

I've been a subscriber since the POM video (the one where Stalin 'decodes' POM's message to him :D). I'll stay around to watch videos but I don't think you understand that we actually DO 'give a shit'. A lot of us posted saying that we hope you'll be ok and that we're here for you when you broke up with your previous gf, as MrUnclepeanuts said, we were here for you through a lot of crap in the past and continued to support you in what happened. So in the previous video where you said a lot of people don't 'give a shit', we actually do, so I think you could have looked at both sides of the story before closing down the forums, it was a good forum and I don't think it was the forums fault for what happened, especially if you or Koba or whoever brought back people who were perma banned, such as Napoleon. I think you should look at your decision and look at our support in the past and think if your decision was the right decision. We all want whats best for you Stalin, but that doesn't mean that we won't accept this if we don't see it as right.

I'll stand by whatever makes you happy, as a lot of us will, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about how this all happened how it was dealt with.

(I'm not sure if that all made sense, I just woke up and my head isn't fully working yet).

I don't go to the forums often, but from what I have gathered from various sources, Koba was trolling and ruining the forums for everyone by provoking other people. When the the community went to you about it you ignored their complaints. When the community took matters in their own hands you closed down the forums.

And like Mr UnclePeanuts just said, this community is the most shit-giving community ever, and you should be ashamed for your betrayal

I agree whole heartily with CollectorofSouls

Though people can perceive your actions as somewhat rash and ill-calculated by all the anguish and discontent circulated around the forums and your controversial relationship, I do support your choice. You are the conductor and administrator of this website, you delegate what you wish and don't let anyone demean you and cause you any further misery. I've also been a part of your fan base and an occasional participant of the forums from a previous account, but what is truly significant is what YOU feel is necessary. You're an intelligent, articulate, humorous, and well-rounded individual and I'd hate for you to sacrifice your defining moments of your life meddling with those degenerates' incompetence and stupidity.

Good will.

I agree with Mr.Unclepeanuts and dowdpride on this matter. I believe that you have allowed your relationship with Koba to cloud your judgement on what has happened recently. Now, I have no wish to ruin your relationship with Koba, but I do believe that you are incorrect when you refuse to answer any of our questions. I understand that some of them are not good questions, but there are many others that are just questions, that deserve to be answered, whether the forums are ever brought back or not. I think that you don't realize just how much this community did care for you, many of us were there for you when you had that difficult relationship and breakup all that time ago, and yet you say that we "don't give a shit". I have been a follower of yours for many years. I am extremely disappointed in your conduct the last few months. You and Koba have broken many of your own rules for the forums, and refused to answer for any of them. It is tragic, really, how much you don't realize how many of us DID care for you. And now you have destroyed your own website. What is the purpose of this website now? You left youtube to make videos and to have a forum. You have returned to youtube with a new account, and you have just closed the forum. What is the point of all this? Why have it now? To suit your own vainity, that you have your own website?

I wish someone would give me all the details of what the fuck happened when I was off the site playing fable 3 killing my wives after they have given me proper heirs to my throne, but since the people who knew the most of what was going on during this drama shit storm have been banned or have left I'll probably never know what truly happened, however from what little I've heard, Koba actually tried to provoke people, saying hateful things like what I just saw from teremaster, to this I just have to say when someone puts their hand in the lions cage and their fucking around, and eventually there hand gets bit off I feel no sympathy for him/her, Koba should have known doing shit like that would cause trouble, also why did she bring back the pregudiced and homophobe that is Napoleon? not a very wise decision right off the back. I also think whatever relationship you have with Koba is clouding your judgement.


Also in response to your last video since I could not respond to it before, 'I thought people actually gave a shit', um... lol? this community was probably the most caring community on the interwebz that I've ever seen. Remember when you broke up with your last girlfriend(btw it seems you have learned nothing from relationships since then) you were heartbroken and depressed and you were barely able to mantain composure, now any other community? believe me would not give a shit about your personal life and would just expect you to upload the videos they love so much, but this community gave you unquestioning loyalty and support, and even tried to support you in bringing back your cat(which I forgot his name as it has been a long time) on facebook, I think just taking Koba's side of the story of what went on the site was ignorant of you spencer, as you should have looked at it from both perspectives.

Now I haven't used the forums at all, but I've been here since the beginning, all the way back to youtube days of yore and I think that at the end of the day its stalin's site and as "premier" if you will its his choice whither to can the forums or not. And while I am glad he can focus more on the videos people need to understand that this was probably not an easy choice for stalin to make as he does appreciate his fan base in all its forms but sometimes there comes a point were you have to draw the line and many people will not like it, as can plainly be seen in the comments here, granted I know very little details about the end of the forums but I get the main points and personally it comes down to, like everything else in the world, people not liking one's decisions when it runs parallel to their interests. so in the interests of everyone on the site forum users and those just here for the videos, please just bid the forums a fond adieu, maybe they'll be brought back and maybe they won't its all up to fate, remember the times it had before the scheiß sturm hit and keep the verbal attacks on stalin, I've seen a few in this thread, to yourselves. I now await the rage that will be directed at me over this.

well stalin, this is it. i have been watching your videos since the original empire total war lets play, and have lurked on and off in the forums. when i saw the first update video i immediately went to the forums and read through anything i could find, to make my mind up about the situation. out of all of this, i have come to the conclusion that you are making a mistake. i dont care who you have a relationship with, if it makes you happy, fine. what i think is inexcusable is that you ignore questions and complaints from members of your community that have been loyal to you to the point of hero worship. if anything ever happened to you that was negative, they were the first to jump to comfort you, and fix things. if something good happened, they were the first to congratulate you. now, you have completely destroyed your most loyal fanbase, and are accepting the support of people who do not even know what is going on. this is disgraceful. after all this time, i believe that i shall unsubscribe from everything that you do, seeing as you seem to care so little for your loyal followers.

best of luck

Sooooo. . . . . . I've apparently missed a lot in my long absence on the forums. . . .

He took away our tools of pain and suffering? Damn.
Well on to the next forum, it will be great. Now I have time to think up new poems and make more fanfics before the new forum starts.

In many ways I'm very sad that the forums have ended, in general it was a very pleasant community to be part of, but on the other hand I'm excited that Stalin can now return to what should be the core purpose of this site, Stalins videos.

Well goodbye to the forums everyone it was pretty fun well it lasted, there were some pretty interesting people on here too, and I'm kinda sorry to see it go.

I don't blame him for doing this. Several persons have ignored the site's rules and regulations. If we can't respect his rules, then why should he respect our freedom to post on the site? I don't care who started what, it's childish to point fingers, next time don't start drama.

If was him right now I would just leave the PC alone for sometime and so he would relax.
