vetting

there's a bunch of those in BA

joined the server.

Hello new friend

welcome to the server at this ungodly hour

how have you found us today

how many buttons does your mouse have?

not an ungodly hour for me haha

was looking for Rob's old pokemon runs. I remember watching them as background noise

nice, glad you found the site then!

It looks like Rob went off the deep end at some time lol

by the way my mouse has 2 buttons on the side 2 on the top and then the normal buttons

he crumbled in like 2019

yeah, I'll vet you. The channel above this is notes which has a list of what channel is what (its brail theme this week so I can't link the channel). The channel below this is Rob chat

The pins in this channel and Rob chat are interesting if you want some more modern Rob lore

Cheers I might lurk a bit

Most do

most either lurk or leave if you want to be active you have to deal with gent (the serpent)

This one has the channel list

Vinny, you have magical wizard powers

how the fuck were you able to link that

not hard

now link Rob chat Leg

well damn

vinny is on top of it as always as the chief vetting officer

joined the server.

a default avatar has arrived

Hullo!

Joined from the website, was actually really excited that someone archived the old urealms stuff.

how did you find the secret braille RP server that honors when Rob used to be funny?

ok

urealms live started good but then it collapsed around 2019

basically his entire staff and friend group has left him by now

i'm one of the original phijkchu members but I haven't really been paying attention since 2019 so you will need to wait for @Phijkchu_Pikachu to explain it

I looked over a couple of his recent Livestream past 2020 and so much of it just seems incomprehensible or just spiteful. I always wondered why Roamin didn't run off and do his own side thing.

well he ran off to not be an internet personality and have a life

now that you can see channels, check https://discord.com/channels/723638993488576593/733865168924180481 for the channel themes

I vetted you to the server, pins in this channel and #rawb have rob lore

the one right below this is the Rob discussion chat

Yeah, that's completely understandable. Just sucks, he always seemed like a good personality. I'll go check it out!

he has been sent to a psych ward or something in the past

everyone left him because he's abusive

Forcibly by his brother earlier this year iirc

Roamin?

HCJustin was bullied the entire time and then exploded in popularity when he quit url

There’s “leaked” conversations about it from someone’s discord, I wanna say sixelona’s?

Gawd damn, dude. Looking into the rob lore channel now

It’s a dumpster fire and a half

Some have also been tracking the decline of Rob’s patreon and it’s likely he’s staying under 200 patrons forever now

hey Asher , welcome to the server glad you found the archive site

Roamin had a son and prioritized that, kind of dropped off the internet

Deadbones went back and finished school, and mostly has been doing his own thing offline now too

hello new friend

I'm bob

the server mascot

the basic summary (which I've probably said a lot when new people join) is that Rob has had some pretty significant mental breakdowns over the years

between that, drugs, and his psychiatric medications, a lot of the old qualities we all liked are gone

Hullo! I'm glad Roamin and Deadbones are doing alright, dude. I guess that's probably what makes everything a little bit better for me. Rob's content regarding nostalgia and his old stuff just makes him come off as extremely unstable. Especially for a guy that seemed to be pretty straight laced back then, he seems like he's completely fallen off. 😦

yes he has completely fallen off

I think there's a lot of revisionist history about Rob, because of how much he scorned his old community (multiple times), Megan, his irl friends, and his coworkers

but tbh, I still think Rob was incredibly talented, comedy came easily to him and he was able to pour 100% of himself into projects he was one of the first people online to do let's plays, to try to build a "community" around his content, and a ton of other firsts

if anything, the tragedy is that time and time again, he was too early or made the wrong choice

and the things he did and saw modest success doing, would explode months/years after he stopped

I know that bothered him, and probably contributed to a deteriorating mental state

It's so hard because he did have such a loyal following. We would have entire roleplay D&D esque Minecraft servers set up based upon his content from the roleplay series back in the day. He inspired so many fucking things going forward. It's so hard to really comprehend how you could fumble your community like that.

The PML is another funny one

the idea of a "professional minecraft league" was silly and fun in 2012, but the amount of money there now is insane

Rob chose Blip.tv over YouTube, and then opted to stop streaming on Twitch right as it was exploding

Rob was a front page streamer on early Twitch, he'd get 2,000 people to watch him and was a top 20-30 channel every single week

and then he just stopped livestreaming
