I'm sure that quite a few people would find more YouTube channels helpful—LordDraconical-

Except he simply copies things from coop and ice..nothing on his channel is original, except his vampire act.

I fully agree with the rest of your statement though.

I also have the not being able to type numbers problem.

Possibly throw in psyksSG channel. He puts out some great quality content. Also ACnerfshop.

I'm not sure that's entirely accurate.

It isn't. The battle rifle was sort of copied but he vastly improved on the other one. Drac is a valid youtuber and is overall a nicer one to watch than coop. Ice and coop are cool too but drac has had some very cool original ideas (cyberfang, hop-a-blast)

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but this point really needs to be made clear.

I have seen many comments saying how one particular YouTube personality is better than another. People will go on their typical ignorant, pompous tirades about how this person sucks, how that person is "stealing" ideas from another channel, and many other obnoxious, biased statements. What these people apparently have missed is that few of these people are really doing anything "original." Most of these trolls merely saw one person do it before another did, but if they would take the pains to research, (Asking a troll to research is WAY too much to ask, though.) they would find out that someone else entirely did it "first," or that the originator is not known.

Even if the originator is a YouTube personality, and someone does something remotely similar to it, the trolls, instead of congratulating the person for improving or furthering the design, will post their typical, uncapitalized, misspelled posts such as "ur copyiing *insert name*." This is an immature type of nationalism: you should be glad for the inventor if other people are using his design or modification, after all, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," and you should, furthermore, be overjoyed if someone found your favorite personality's modification to be worthy of refinement. For after all, it all should be for the furtherance of the community.

Therefore, let us not hear unresearched, unnecessary cries of "copying," let us not hear unfounded cries of superiority, let us not hear insult, but rather praise, when due, and constructive advice when appropriate. Moreover, let us not tear down, but build up. Instead of eagerly looking to find fault, let us seek to find all useful information that we can glean from their methods and manners.

Now let us all be wiser from these words, and resume the task that lies before us: the furtherance of the Nerf Internet Community.

And that's about where it ends. He's also completely delusional, believing he's a vampire. Coop puts out a much higher quality video. They are well edited, his cosmetic modifications skills are superior, his performance modifications are far superior, and he doesn't pretend he is something else. But I'm not going to derail this thread to argue. I you really want to debate it send me a message. I'm by no means saying he isn't any good, but you can find the same thing on other channels such as coops or ice's , but in much better quality

I was recently trying to use the app, and asides from not being able to log in, because of the numbers not working, the only others thing I could thing of was somehow making a way to add pictures directly into the text with the built in camera most mobile devices have, without having to use photobucket, although I'm not sure if that's possible with the forums current software, it would be rather convenient.

Everything is a remix.
Nuff said.

I took the liberty of splitting this off from the RSS/phone app thread. Your posts are bad and you should feel bad.
