No one would have given two shirts about the project if it wasn't Dan's account that made the thread. And honestly, does it matter if it was really him? It got you all excited. Even if it did matter, the project didn't have to be shut down. You guys are stupid.

/Agree I posted in general about it too.
"You just realized you guys killed SPOTM right? Whether this was a fake Dan or not, people will loose interest in this project. Unless Dan actually does something... *cough* not *cough* "

Yeah, and how will people know that it's truly Dan? And will Dan endorse this project? How will he make sure that everyone knows that it's truly him?
Seriously, would've been SO much better if you'd just left it alone and let it run its course.

Camoon: There's a lot of SHIRT going down on the forums... Anthony Bryan: mhmm i saw Camoon: Dan posted that new project, but apparantly that was someone else using Dan's account :/ Camoon: So the project has been put on hold. Camoon: WTF Anthony Bryan: waitwhut Anthony Bryan: onoes Giancarlo Jusino: What? Rocío: O.o Anthony Bryan: that blows Giancarlo Jusino: Sucks... the project had potential. Camoon: Well I don't see why just because it wasn't Dan posting that stuff that the project shouldn't happen... Rocío: who would u listen to more, chuck norris or john doe? Anthony Bryan: in this case, john, because he has a brain compared to chuck Rocío: ok the thing is Rocío: thinking of a group of people Rocío: a majority Rocío: that was led to a place by a specific person and then started feeling he didn't give a crap about them anymore Rocío: if he came back, and showed he cared again, and wanted this to work....wouldn't u feel a little bit like you're getitng attention again? like the creator cares for the creation
Rocío: if he doesn't, well, the other person, wo shows interest, is still not this guy Camoon:  Rocío: he's one of a hundred other guys that have ideas...a good idea, but it still doesn't change the fact that the "responsable" is not caring Camoon: I don't get it. Rocío: cam what I mean is Rocío: maybe by seeing dan was in SPOTM again, people would have felt encouraged to revive it, cuz' they would have felt the interest of a guy that they once admired, or at least admired his idea that was posted in the skype SPOTM chat after Camron Lee saw the post. see what you did? you put a spark that could have light a fire. See there could have been something, you had people who usualy don't give a rats ass talking about it. |

I, personally, would rather support a project that was not founded on the big "this is Dan Brown" lie. Yes, the intentions were good, but that doesn't matter. What this person did was wrong.
"On hold" does not mean "shut down." Dan needs a little time to sort things out. We (well, mostly Rob) have done all that we can at the moment. So please, be patient, and wait for further news.
I would like to mention that I really would like to revive SPOTM into something greater than it has been for the last several months. That requires work from everyone. It absolutely does not require people to complain about something only to sit on their butts and wait for someone else to take the reigns.

Unless the real Dan Brown takes full control over the project, it IS shut down

The way I see it, "Dan" showing interest, and actually showing up in the forums, was a great motivation. If the real Dan would've done this, it would have been awesome. Really, the OP was pretty good, and at least made me think he was caring again
Why Dan? Why couldn't someone else just post it with another account? Well, the way I see it, most of us got here because of Dan, liked his ideas, even admired him. He became, in a sort of way, an authority. And him caring became a motivation, cuz' this so important person was paying attention to his people again. Maybe it would've been a good idea to tell him he could do something, but what the hell, it's already done and wtf....
I hope he is as much of a smart guy as I think he is and sees the problem behind this...people response to him caring, because he is him! If he wants this to work, he has the power to do it. There is a lot of people caring about the forums, but good ideas have more power if they come from a person the majority of the group (the group beeing SPOTM members) consider to be important
Dan, I hope you see the problem underneath all of this.

That should not be the course of action, imo. I suppose I should have put a disclaimer in that post saying, "Yes, I realize how hypocritical this is for me to say, given my current activity. Thanks for pointing that out, because I had no idea I was being so hypocritical." Yeesh. I'm going to try to stop responding to this thread now, since you guys obviously don't respect me at all. Thanks a lot. |

Dan, if you read this.. I hope you can make a solid decision. You have two choices right now. Either you work with the project that the one who hacked your account started and actually try to revive SPOTM or at least lead the people who are fighting to do just that. Or, you make a video explaining to everyone that you'll oficially give up on SPOTM and explaining to everyone how you find D3PO to be so much more important.
In case you haven't seen this though.. when you created SPOTM, your view counts and subscriber count climbed so fast it was scary. When you started D3PO both counts decreased at the same speed as they climbed.
I hope that this leads you to choose the right path.

@tony: What? How? She is saying we should all work together instead of just complaning and do nothing. The project has not been killed, just "put on hold". And btw, can't at least half of the project (the QR codes) be run by us?

Dan, foreals, we love you man. I love D3P0, I love SPOTM, and we miss you. Also, SPOTM is nothing without you.
I feel like too much pressure is being put on Dan to come back. Just come back and have fun, you saw how everyone reacted from your fake project post... they were all pumped!

It's not really necessary that he's here all the time, but just something like "guys, I still believe in you, let's make this keep happening, I care" would be in some way a motivation for a big majority to support those who are willing to work for SPOTM. There must be a lot of them, but Dan's support would bring some attention to their ideas.

Dan Brown = Leader
If DB = L is true.. Does DB = Supreme Commander of Us?
DB ≠ Supreme Commander of Us
DB = Well.. Equal to us.
Understand?
So, I don't care that DB didn't post it.
Whoever it was, they were right. So, this project cannot to be on delay. It needs to begin RIGHT. NOW.
