Wasn't everyone just piling on the guy who was upset about Network not having replays?

The Midnight WrassleGAF test went well. See? Omerta works, my brothers and sisters.
The guy? You mean Carnby? You mean a normal, regular WrassleGAF community member who felt strongly about something?
"Piling on" isn't what happens when almost everyone disagrees. Everyone simply disagreed.

Ah, some dipshit went to an old Halo thread and posted in it, I got confused.
So here's the verbiage, it's up to us to see if we're compliant:
-- Are we insular and hostile? I'd say easily that we're not.
-- Spends as much time off-topic than on? Compared to other threads, no chance. We're always talking about wrassles.
-- Problematic community - Not us.
-- Closed threads, split threads, interventions, hiatuses - nope
-- Offers to spend some time gaming-side -I dunno
Definitely not insular. Some threads in community are to new members, but ya'll aren't one of them. Outside of footygaf, this is the best thread in community
Sunny would start up his own forum
I didn't Dragonzord, I even told him he was cool!
We've had our share of gimmicks that didn't work out, or had a negative impact on the community, but those are quickly written out of the program when problems arise.
Also, with a 24/7 wrestling network, people will likely want us to shut up about wrasslin' and go off topic a bit.

Unlike NBA-GAF, we will definitely never try to strike out on our own either, no matter what. We belong here, we'll always be here. Splinter forums ain't great things, and are just a final shudder before a community's death.
I like the Bore
Absolutely not.
It's all fun and games until someone offers to wrestle a broom in your stead.
Dang, I thought Legit Shook forums was the final step in your master plan
Yeah, I signed up for the gaming forum but I found out pretty quickly that you have to pick your threads or it becomes insufferable. Steam thread is good and the threads about the more niche games are great. Sales threads and resolution threads are a good read for a laugh, but I try not to post in them.
WrassleGAF is good people for the most part.

Not to fellate our own community but I think it's obvious we bring good things to the table. We have legit shook, we have folks like Spider from Mars coordinating a Wrestlemania review countdown, we have WrassleGAF TV, we have a strong sense of acceptance and community here, we don't call each other marks (unless someone's being particularly shitty towards someone else) and we have a lot of fun. I don't think we leave anyone offended in here (if so, let it be known) and we take care of each other.
We do well, guys.

Sorta back on topic:
As someone who spends $60 a month
on WWE PPVs, the WWE Network seems like the best deal ever. I'd pay $9.99 a month for the PPVs alone.
As someone who spends $60 a month
sometimes twice a month
Well, if we ever do go down, lets take PopGAF down with us. WAR OF GIFS (gifs is war?)
Straiiight up! PPVs are so fuckin' expensive and streams are so ugly, this thing has been a long time coming. I still think the smartest idea would be to launch it with a PPV (EC) but I guess they're doing that WM.
Just kidding. No insular hostility D:

Speak for yourself. I'm shamelessly off topic. Renegade gimmicks pop numbers, brotherjackdude.
WWE Network, Cesaro, RainMaker vs. RoH, etc. etc.

A lot of people want a stable HD stream for PPVs for a more reasonable price. Voila!

My only fear is that it's going to look like total shit or go down and not come back up until the PPV is over. I've missed literally ONE PPV since Wrestlemania X and I don't want to have to start worrying about missing them because of MLB's streaming capabilities.
So I'm kind of obsessed with watching OSW Review lately. Anything else like it?

God, this one is so good. I can't stop laughing at how he just stands there bouncing.
I assume that MLB gets more viewers, although with it being on free/cable TV, there's possibly less people on it.
At least they've got a few weeks before Mania to prepare. I really hope that they assume that 100% of subscribers will be watching live at the highest possible quality so they can plan server capacity accordingly. If word gets out that it went down during Mania, I can see a backlash.

Things are not looking good for TNA
I'm very curious to see how indy companies react after a few months of competing with the WWE Network. The Network will make them up their game or push them out of the iPPV business altogether.
If the Network delivers smooth PPVs online, in addition to all the other content, they're going to have to either go VOD, provide better connections or cut price on a service that is already at the lower limit for themselves.
I do love that Vince (
) not only realized that $9.99 PPVs are the answer, but also that delivering additional content with those PPVs to create added value is the key.

Triple H, likely
they'll just end up back on Vimeo or wherever. They might hand their hat up after ECW though.
I watch them to fall asleep most nights.
I'd barely use this site if it did
The main OSW guy is really down on Twitter, saying they may not keep doing them because of these recent takedowns. The dude has spent as much as 100 hours editing a single episode (WM9 specifically) but they're 99% WWE-owned footage, so there's not a whole lot they can do about it.

Yeah, on one hand that IS a lot of work, but it's kind of like when someone spend a fuckton of time making a new Mario game. That shit ain't theirs. It's a shame there's no type of fair use for that sort of thing.
Yeah, I can't really blame WWE for taking them down. That doesn't mean I can't feel really sorry for the guys, and feel bad for them not getting to put up videos that I really enjoy.

I would rather fly to goddamn Japan than have to go to NY for Okada
That's how much NY sucks

I hope it continues but they should of expected with the network coming up. They still have the vimeo account with all the videos. It doesn't get the viewership of youtube but people will go to watch them.
Also, got to love the Alvarez humor about Hogan coming back:
