Hello all, your favorite admin here with a quick issue that needs attention.
There is a guy posing as the 'Nostalgia Critic' on the ScrewAttack forums; it is not Doug. I made a post or two in that thread under the name mikemvs. Since everyone there seems to think that the 'Nostalgia Critic,' there is the real deal, I decided to make a quick update. Once again that guy is not Doug/NC/ThatGuy etc.

That is all.
Mike


Oh, I forgot to add some cheesy line.. so.. um... Game Over Poser..

What you did was spread bad karma about That Guy, no to mention illegally represented yourself as someone else, so, no, not cool.

No hard feelings?
written by The Other Guy , July 06, 2008
That's totally up to admin at this point. But both That Guy and I have had to discuss this with admin today when we could've been doing better things (like writing or editing). So consider us unhappy. I will also be personally sending a Thank You email to Moderator Mike Matei for locking the thread over at Screwattack. He's cool. This stuff? Again... uncool.

You're banned, not only from posting here, but also from the whole site. Hopefully that was worth it.

Your IP is banned

Trying to pose as someone your not, that is not something you should've done. I hope the fact that your banned from here will answer your question,
No hard feeling though right?

He posed as ThatGuy over at Screwattack.com.

This, in and of itself, annoys us. However, he decided to make a whole bunch of trouble over there (in our name) and then continued to pretend he was That Guy while doing it. Mike Matei (who we met at Digital Press) had him banned and locked the post. Good for him, I say. The part that absolutely boggles my brain is that he came back here and admitted to it like he was hot stuff. Ballsey. Dumber than a bag of doorknobs. But ballsey.

We talked earlier today with Admin. Believe me, That Guy and I did NOT cast votes in his favor. Which is why I found that line about "No hard feelings?" kinda ironic.

You guys are too trusting. I'm glad he was found out. My method would have easily exposed him as a fake too.

I basically told him to make a post here about it being real.

written by Matt913 , July 06, 2008
A guy who thinks he's an advocate of this site poses as ThatGuy at this site's rival site; then when he announces what he did, instead of getting a hero's welcome like he assumed, he gets banned from this site, effectively getting himself exiled from both the site he flamed AND the site he thought he was representing?

I was one of the ones in the thread at Screwattack
written by Jigglysaint , July 06, 2008
I had my doubts, but I figured that even it was an imposter, I would do best to refrain from accusations and just roll with the punches. I'm glad to see Mike cleaned things up.

One more thing...

Ducktails, Woohoo!

If this guy did a decent job, he wouldn't have been caught. He fails at being civil and fails at sabotage. I guess he pretty much fails at everything.

I think Blacksuitcrimeboss is/was a poster on the Dark Knight Boards on IMDB. I never talked to him, so i don't know if he's a douche bag or not but by the sound of things he is. But what exactly was he saying when he was posing as that guy?

I'd like to quote the AVGN. "This really brings my piss to a boil."

That asshat should be force-fed his own balls, shat on, and then eaten by me so I can shat him out again.

And I don't like him.

Guys, welcome to the internet. Most people have enough common sense to spot an impostor; if the impostor isn't soiling someones reputation, then it doesn't hurt anyone, and if an impostor acts like an ass in the name of someone who doesn't generally act like an ass, people will spot it immediately. It's a lose-lose situation.

Lulz or lols?
written by Game_over , July 16, 2008
What exactly did the guy accomplish anyway? If he did achieve lulz of any sort, then he should be praised. It would've been more lulzy if that guy himself would've added more drama.

Seriously, Doug should try to be cruel and use heavy humor tactics.

so he can't watch the videos anymore? if yes then good for that motherfucker . Impersonating one of the greatest people on the internet BULLSHIT.I come to this site everyday and when i saw this (i didn't look in the update section 4 a while)I coudn't help but "cry" in behalf of Thatguy. If someone impersonated me I'd sue them to every single law that he's breking.I'd kick his big fucking ass if he was right beside me and the "no hard feelings?"Hard is an understatement*takes a chill pill*

Sock Puppets
written by Amir , July 18, 2008
The guy was just probably a sock puppet. They're everywhere.

Impersonating one of the greatest people on the internet BULLSHIT


I understand how you feel about him, but don't over react. Doug is a smart and funny guy, but lets not go all emo over it.

Copypasta
What you guys should do when you see one of these guys is:
a) Do not report him to the admin
b) Do not ignore the issue
c) Do not persuade them to not sock puppet
d) blackmail them
e) Make fun of them by vandalizing their user page with your own puppet (oh, the irony) to announce it.

i dont think that banning his ip from the site is entirely fair, you should find a way to ban his ip from logging into the site, but he should still be able to watch stuff. even so, what a total dick. the traitor must be stoned to death by tgwtg users immediately for insulting tgwtg on a forum that we are at WAR with. traitor!
