Honestly all the imitators that came afterwards only did it for the money. No really.
That's why there's bullshit chatlines and similar where it's them doing over the top reactions to "thug shakers" and it's not the same as the insane shit going down during the Deagle Nation era like when some dude commissioned porn of Jace and sent it to him.
TheBestGamers? Yeah it's a shame they imploded for different reasons. I learned a bit about how they got together (literally Second Life), and got a former associates opinions on the members over Discord once. Namely Karivore had an issue where he'd forget he'd record something funny the next day is what I recall and there was a bit of drama revolving around Rockcock (who wasn't exactly well liked by this person and rightfully so when you consider what would happen later) and DingDongVG and all.
Unfortunately this was told to me during a very hazy period of my life when I was in Discord calls daily that would devolve into insane shit and this guy being pushed away from said group from drama/infighting was a wake-up call in a way that I had to escape said group.
The weirdest drama I sat through in a Discord call was being told about the saga behind well; the fall of Assemblergames by a member there.
I later learned one of the people in said call was raided by the feds beforehand for the Xbox Underground saga. At one point I was running into interesting people left and right online, not as much anymore unfortunately but I think the internet in a whole is in a transition period between the old (walled gardens) and new (decentralized).
yee i've read a pastebin of IRC logs once where all the drama had been explained i also know that one of the member went towards making dream daddy :blobcatgiggle2:
