...you gonna, like, confirm your identity? Otherwise I'll assume you are just trolling.

(Not saying the guy you are quoting isn't BSing, but everyone could make an account and claim to be someone directly involved.)
Confirm my identity? Ok, umm, I'm 30 years old, I make videos online, I work in retail in HMV, I have long ginger hair, though people tell me it's strawberry blonde. I wear glasses, I've just released Black Sheep as a review, I'm filming a horror movie in 4 days time...my twitter is Welshy_Who, I'm meeting my best friend tomorrow before I go away for a week (to film) I'm currently writing a Top 10 Buffy Vampire Eps list for my next vid...I was disappointed Transformers fans agreed with me in my last vid and I think Fez's are cool.

Ok but seriously, seeing as I understand why you needed me to confirm, what can I do to confirm I'm me, short of posting credit card details which is a tad to far, even for me.
I like how you list things that everyone could know who takes a moment to research Welshy... XD

Write something on your twitter that confirms that you are the who you claim you are?

You honestly think someone would take the time to research me? Awesome!! Ok, confirmed. Now I need to go back to my script.
It took me, like, a minute to find out most of that stuff about you.. XD

(To be fair, I did watch a couple of your vids before.)

Anyway, thanks for confirming.

Ahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you're joking right? Try telling that to Goldman Sachs.

On topic however, I too would like confirmation that Holly, Welsh, and that other guy whose name escapes me are legit and are not just trolling.
So bringing up companies that do it wrong somehow invalidates the right way to do it? Your logic is amazing...
Actually my response was because you responded to Khazoth's implications that the real world does not work fairly, by saying he's wrong. Look I agree its really unfair that in life only one side gets blamed when both fuck up, but to refuse to acknowledge otherwise is just being blindly idealistic.

Unless I've misunderstood your two comments in which case I apologize for my error.

Well I'll be damned, didn't expect an actual TGWTG member to show up here, thanks for the conformation

Understand the suspicion of a Channel Awesome producer appearing out of nowhere and making an account specifically to answer one person in one thread on one forum on the internet which at present is probably busting with thousands of opinions and threads on different forums.

Of course, this website does link profiles directly into facebook. That would convince people you're the real Welshy, and it's relatively painless so no loss on your part for doing so.

EDIT: It is a sad day for any ninja who finds himself late to the party...

DISHONORED!!!

Do people get a raw deal alot? of course, but there IS a proper way to handle something and an improper way.

Spoonygate (as its being known by now) was the wrong way to do it.

Oh no, I completely understand. My only reason for wanting to post was to just put across another side of the story in regard to what Austin posted, seeing as I was mentioned which was only slightly confusing because what happened really wasn't important and was dealt with by me off public forums, so seeing it brought up as a way to attack someone...irks me a little. Still, I do appreciate that you wanted confirmation before actually addressing me. I kind of wish more people and sites followed that train of thinking.

I'm so glad you posted that, if only because I didn't want to reply to your previous post, only for it to be an impersonator and look like an ass.(because no one seems to have posted saying they noticed, Goookygox is the Twitter handle of Holly Christine, Channel Awesome's HR Director, http://twitter.com/#!/gookygox)

You posted what seems to be a private message of Austichar earlier, or at least this quote seems to suggest it.

[1/12/2012 6:07:53 PM] Austy: I know I fucked up extremely badly. I broke you guys' trust and caused a major problem and hurt Welshy's feelings bad. I can understand 100% that you're pissed off at me. I feel absolutly horrible about it all, especially since we all got along so well at MAGfest. I know it'll be extremely hard to earn back your trust. We hardly know eachother, but I take my friends very seriously. You should know how badly I value I friends, since I told you my whole story about how I lost all my childhood friends. This was a one time slip up to a crazy chick who caught me with my guard down. I blocked her ass and I'll never talk to her again. It'll never happen again, I can promise you that. Not to her and definitly not to anyone else. I beg of you. All I'm asking for is for one more chance to earn back your trust. Please respond when you get this.
Is it entirely proper for you to do that? I know it was to back up your argument that what he was saying was false(Can totally see why you'd do it, considering), however it's still posting an internal document within Channel Awesome. Unsure on the legality of it, as it seems to be pm-ed to you. Just seems to be a bit morally/legally grey to me.

Right, I see. I still have yet to read the full of both posts since I was more preoccupied with the concept that you were on our forums, but I just saw the twitter post.

..... Of course that doesn't mean you're not just an incredibly talented hacker...

Hmmmm...

Given the amount of people on TGWTG, if I were a hacker I'd probably choose a higher profile poster. Or maybe that's part of my plan and choosing Welshy as my alias means less suspicion. Ok, now I'm starting to doubt that I'm actually me.

Well color me surprised, unless their twitter's got hacked, I would say they are confirmed real. In which case, holy shit people who are actually involved/are close to those involved on the Escapist of all places? D:

Though Austichar had some sort of agreement with Angry Joe about producing machinima, he was never considered a contributor with Channel Awesome. In fact, I didn't even know they (Austichar & Joe) had some sort of agreement until Austichar told me that the had one (past tense) at MAGFest. So aside from claiming to be banned from TGWTG, none of Austichar's complaint has to do with Channel Awesome as a business or my position but rather his own personal view of me. That's why I noted in my reply that I was responding to the business part first. I find the whole thing a little surprising because as Welshy noted earlier, Austichar still has us on Skype.

Well I'm off to study for my exam tomorrow morning.

Can't stop but think how Spoony will ever talk to girls now.

Like, you know how you're at a party, and you see a cute girl but you're shy, and your friends tell you "Come on bro, what's THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?"

Well, spoony 's the worst case scenario guy.

-Makes crude sex joke.


-Gets fired.
-Loses most of his friends.
-Gets labeled a mysoginist by half the internet.

I'm in no way making fun of the guy, but just .......dayyyuuum.
actually the funny thing is Spoony's followers on twitter went up to more than he had when he was with Channel Awesome (which even when Spoony was a part of CA he had more followers by himself than the company he worked for). However yea the devide is pretty clear cut, either you think hes the worlds biggest douche or you forgive him. There is not much "grey" area in peoples opinions of the situation.

I'm amazed too! I thought it was just someone who wanted to post their bizarre, conspiracy theory fanfiction as three different people. Thanks for posting that proof Welshy, you've been very patient with us :).

....
As to Welshy (or Matt), why do you care so much dude? Of all the places on the internet where this drama is taking place, why do you care enough to make a brand new account, justify yourself to random people, and counter-argue with that Austin guy? I'd like to think people here are smarter than to believe some random creepy bottom-feeeder suddenly unveiling some unheard of story of how bad you all are. In fact, the very fact that you paid enough attention here to begin with will draw a lot more attention to that guy than he deserves.
This Austichar guy sounds like he's a few beers short of a six pack. But I'm sure there are many reading this forum who would have taken his story as proof of wrongdoing by Holly, so I think they were justified in wanting to tell their side of the story.
