Mod edit: This post was from a different thread that was merged in here. ---- since the previous thread was locked this will be removed without anyone actually reading it. very sad, because i think you need to read it. so basically you guys really need to get your shit together. TASVideos is known for being a top of the line site for high quality TASes, accepting only seriously well done videos to showcase on their site. this idea was brought to a completely ridiculous extreme, where videos were rejected for game choice and entertainment quality regardless of technical execution. this in itself is fucking retarded but if that is the crazy kind of standard you guys want, whatever. i understand you have tried to move from this with the tier system, which i think was a great decision, though categorizing them was a little strange to me. nothing major. i ask how adding a fucking avgn category will at all help the image of the site that you have fought so hard to keep clean. this serves no purpose to the site, the site's purpose is to show off tool assisted superplay/speedruns, not to show off what games a popular internet personality has played or reviewed. you're simply slapping a face of an internet celebrity onto videos, with no fucking reason other than he's reviewed the game. feel free to tell me that it existed before, which just goes to show you're all fucking avoiding the point here, that it serves no purpose. no one apparently knew of it's existence before, but now it's being put on the game pages. ringrush brought up a great point in the previous topic: what does this say about the great games that have been reviewed by AVGN? battletoads, castlevania 2&3, super mario bros. 3, they are all now grouped into a category that is basically supposed to signify "bad games" or "jokes". i feel that is completely disrespectful to the TASer and will hurt the image of the TAS itself. this is just making a joke out of TASes that were most likely taken very seriously. some in the previous thread claimed it to be "owning the games that owned james" or something. but what does that really mean? avgn never claimed to be a god gamer, it's nothing special that a fucking tas would be able to do better at the game than he did. this to me is nothing more than digging for a reason to support the category. i also saw many in the other thread claiming that the category should not affect anyone and that if they're getting put off by it that the site basically doesn't need their attention. this is not at all a good way to go about running the site. there are already a lot of well known speedrunners and TASers that have expressed their disdain towards the AVGN category, stating or agreeing with statements expressing that the site has lost a lot of credibility for taking such a ridiculous concept so seriously. this is something i think a lot would have expected as an april fool's joke. i don't see how you can consider keeping something on the site that seasoned members would expect as an april fool's joke. i myself have lost any faith i had in tasvideos ever becoming a decent, credible site after this. i was already quite put off by the judging process, and the fact that TASes had been rejected for things such as game choice. i thought you guys were moving forward with the tiers, but it seems like you really went nowhere.

So I made a joke account once!! Doesn't mean I don't love and support the movement you guys have going here!! Can't believe you guys would do this to a new member... I want the AVGN category to become huge! I want people to mainly focus on AVGN and later PewDiePie TASes, leaving the other games behind. This needs to be a main point of the site, how you guys have made videos of games that not only exist, but have actually been acknowleged by PEOPLE that exist! I know that it will increase traffic to the site like crazy. You need that! If the PewDiePie category is made I will definitely tell the Bro army, and then PewDiePie will probably make a hugely popular video about it!!! Imagine the fame you'll get from all of us 15 year olds :)

PewDieFan24? Nice name and your 1 post count. If I was an idiot, I would have said that you were an alt-account created by the OP for the sole purpose of spamming this site. But that would be ridiculous, huh?
I'm sorry? I explained in my first post that I was a long time fan of TAS videos, but I never had much reason to post. But I feel like I needed to have some input on this situation. Please no hostility, I love the site just as you do, bro! :)

Hey guys, I've been a long time lurker but this topic sparked something in me that made me sign up. Just wanna say I love the site! To the people that are against this category, I ask you, why? It's just a silly little thing for the site. It's pretty clear that if you dislike this you're just as stupid as the reasons you claim that this category is invalid. I bet you don't even like AVGN! So what right do you have to say anything about it? To the great, honorable members of TASVideos that uphold this decision, I applaud you! This has helped me find TASes of games I would otherwise never be able to find because of how completely fucking unintuitive the site layout is! Great thing you're doing. But I want to ask, can you make another category for games PewDiePie has played? :) I think this would appeal to even more REAL fans of video games! PewDiePie's subscribers: 2.6 million!! AVGN's subscribers: not even a million XD (800k) Clearly by adding a category for games PewDiePie has played, or even mentioned at least once in his life, you would be appealing to an even bigger audience than you would with the AVGN category, which again I have to say is the greatest addition to the site yet! I was worried before that the site wasn't credible, and that they'd do something like reject a TAS simply because they don't think it looks good despite the TAS being incredibly technical, or because they just don't like a game. With this AVGN category, I can see you guys are all business and care a lot about fans of TAS and AVGN alike! So I urge the TASVideos staff to be brave, and add a PewDiePie category to compliment the AVGN category. Peace, bros!
