I hear HyeMew's part of the evil empire, out to censor and delete anything he doesn't fancy. I say we run him out of forum town on a rail.
Dear west, in the scheme of things does any of this really matter? If you aren't happy about it, and think its lame, then leave.

This forum was supposed to be independent from the Buka/lg influence.
Now two out of the three mods are now mods on the old/new phorum.
Sorry for being a skeptic.
I think many people share my concerns.
You alresady showed your willingness to lie, so what is stopping you now?

I highly doubt the new thread is from the real creators. I think someone just made it to make them seem as if they were boasting more.
Anywho, I need sleep. Good night everyone.

My response: I should say at the outset that I like the videos, and have always liked them, and think y'all write well. You have an exceedingly bright future, and I hope you don't worry too much about this stuff, because it's just the first of many nice things that will come your way. That said, you can't possibly tell your audience that you "expect" them to understand you, not when you've deceived them* about the nature of your creation, continue to hide your identity from them (for no good reason), and refuse to accept that some people might be offended by what they perceive as your manipulation. That's simply not fair. An artist can never ask her audience for anything except their attention. And you have our attention--that much is clear. An audience has every right to be disappointed, or offended, or negative. That's the nature of art for public consumption: You put it out there, and the public consumes it. We did not sign a contract at the start of this promising to always and everywhere love Lonelygirl15. That we may not like the work that you're doing, or may disagree with it, is our right as an audience. I can empathize somewhat. I write books, and they have gotten some bad reviews over the years, and those reviews are sometimes hurtful. But such is life. You still get to make the videos, and have them watched by people, which is all you can ever ask for. The rest is up to you, not us. I congratulate you for having the courage to create a film series that you believe in. But you shouldn't be so bold as to assume that your audience must innately share your faith. Best, John Green www.sparksflyup.com*admittedly by a sin of omission rather than comission, but still.

lol, which would explain the lonelygirl16 slipup. (I wish I could call that a blonde moment.)

Shifty, if I'm not mistaken, in order for them to have logged in as "the_creators," they needed "the_creators" password, meaning the site has either been hacked, or that's them. Also, why would someone else post something that ridiculously defensive?
Also, they've edited the post four times. If it was fake, they would have just taken it down, instead of editing it.

The original Creators thread was from the account "The Creators" not "The_Creators" as this new one is (Thus implying to me that it isn't really them).

west: If you want to call me and hear me be a retard and talk to my stupid boyfriend PM me and I will give you my number. I have shit to do with this, and it's not my fault that my Moderators want to Mod the other forum, but, they're GOOD moderators and I TRUST them and they have no admin control over this, I do. Stop stirring up shit that isn't there please!

if the second "from the creators" thread is fake...how can we believe the first one isn't?
I just find it weird that the second would automatically be discredited, but the first is still considered authentic.

@alissa, haha, I am enjoying the night with a few drinks too, I couldnt even make it through the new LG15 video, though you still have the ability to write coherenetlyish, I will drink to that!
Oh yea, the real point for posting...PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CREATORS USERNAMES AND THE ORIG AREA WAS CREATED BY AN ADMIN...
...you would think people can't read.
