vetting

It depends exactly what phase of BW you're talking about, Justin's the one who has opened up the most about what went on behind the scenes, but you can also get Spooky's meta commentary on the overall trajectory of the projects and why BW was wound down how it was

If you just mean why no one likes Rob anymore from that group: Rob is incapable of managing professional and personal relationships with someone at the same time

once a friend/fan becomes involved with him professionally, it comes at the death of their personal relationship

Rob warns people of this ahead of time, but people don't believe him until they experience it

Buffalo Wizards in general was also poorly timed, it was too late to ride the early wave of internet content groups, and to early to ride the one that came after it LoM was such a big initial success, Rob wanted to capitalize on it by having dedicated content creators available to make things for it, hence BW forming. Once Unforgotten Realms Live kicked off and exploded, Rob chose to focus more time on maintaining that, and with how he had set up BW to run through him, that lack of time and planning meant there wasn't going to be a future for BW. If you have specific questions, I think there are a few people here who can give you more

Since Spooky posted, to follow up, here is a scattershot of random BW and BW adjacent people I remember and how they feel about Rob and why: Justin - see leaked justin posts about how Rob was abusing him behind the scenes of urealms live Coestar - friends with Justin, so you can guess why he does not like Rob Deadbones - Got screwed over by Rob skizo killing urealms live, and wanted nothing to do with him Puase - Rob got mad at him for not editing his "dvz" revival videos, not sure if they are friends or not, but Pause is checked out of content creation anyways. Shay- off the internet Spyd - I forget, I feel like there is some lore but I am forgetting Roamin - still friends with Rob, but off the internet Nisovin - Does not like Rob, does not talk about his time working on the Rob stuff so clearly wants to move on. Slager - I have no idea

Robs current friend group is just people you would not know (and we are like 3 or 4 groups deep of him making a new group and replacing people). He has 3 or 4 people, everyone else including all the people you don't know, are gone

that's a good summary Pika, but you forgot Electricity Man

Oh, yeah didn't he have cancer or something

we all love him so much

or was that someone else

I forget the electricity man thing we learned

Spyd got cancer

Oh that was spyd, right

Electricity man was the groomer

OH

yeah, he was non person'd for being a groomer. We had a guy who was supposed to be his arch nemesis in lom join iirc

and Slager/Buttrug was part of Pause's potion network thing that failed

I assume he's retired from content creation

but no one will hold a candle to Pause and his cool new job as a Costco forklift operator

I never heard of Slager

who is that

Just one of the BW, one of the guys brought in who was not really a name by any standard since they had a few of those

I mixed up names

Kyle/KyleTheBear/Buttrug was Pause's friend

Slagar was the username for ElectricityMan

Spyd also seems to have beaten brain cancer which is good, he's mostly off the internet and posts once/year on Twitter about his kid

And technically there's also Vankz, who was a BW for 1 month or thereabouts, who was Spyd's friend/roommate I can't remember

Basically, everyone either hates Rob, or is off the internet (or both)

we're almost to the point where Rob will have stopped doing stuff for as long as he was

thought I had seeing Buffalo Wizards videos are 10 years old now

and we're almost 5 years removed from Rob quitting at this point

jeez

Hello Outlaw, welcome to the server! They are the 246th member. To be vetted, please say something @Outlaw.

Hi!

Freakazoid fan, based. Hello

Few get the reference!

My favorite cartoon

So I randomly stumbled upon the Mindcrack post about guude and what happened. and that led me to the website with the Rob archive and then I decided to join the Discord since back in the day I used to watch a lot of Rob content

When was the last time you watched Rob?

A couple of years ago? I think it was during his thing about wanting to train other creators and still developing sneaky mouse

So post urealms

He also hid all his content I think as some kind of mystery and was slowly unhiding it

That is incorrect

no he was just greedy and stupid

Yes I loved urealms live back in the day

He wanted to fish for as much money as possible from former fans

Thanks to me you can now watch all of Rawbs content for free right here https://phijkchu.com/home

What actually happened is Rob had a bit of a mental breakdown, got mad at people pointing out his content changed and he was no longer funny, so he hid all the content with plans to put it behind a paywall

Right I realize that I just remember the narrative

And ya saw the site

Anyways, I've vetted you

there is a tl;dr about Rob in this channels pins, and the pins in

The pins here and in #rawb

#rawb are worth reading

I hit enter too early!

Kk thanks

Welcome Outlaw

Thanks!

Oh wow a ton has happened with Rob

yeah not much recently, but after the end of URealms it's been a strange period of him spiraling down

he's sort of doing what I thought he should though, which is he's basically left the internet at this point, he might stream for fun 1-2 times a month and runs a small community minecraft server

but he's done making videos or working on big projects and he honestly seems better for it, he's been using drugs less and seems more stable mentally

How is he surviving?

family support and probably a real job

ahh makes sense

I am surprised him and megan lasted as long as they did

yep, his parents have helped him pay his rent in Toronto for a while and he's not explicitly talked about the job he's gotten

he probably doesnt have one

but it sounds less internet production-y, and more like some basic retail thing

oh ok

no he definitely does

he complains about being tired from work, and that he's on his feet a lot

oh boo hoo
