To MattVortex, With Love
Lets go over a few things shall we?
First of all, you accuse Shane of being ‘like Mugabe, the RIAA and Scientology’. ‘Crushing any competition’. What did you expect us to do? Sit back and let you play your little games? Are you really that fucking stupid? If we had a chance to stop you, we would have taken it. But that’s just the thing, we didn’t have to do anything to stop you. We didn’t try and tempt Anubis away from Vantage, he offered his services to Shane and the informer. He even said himself that he’d pick the Informer over Vantage. We didn’t have to force any conditions on him. Shows you how much people value you, your skills, and your ability to get things done doesn’t it? They choose to work with people you look down to, on projects you look down on, over work on your projects with you? Stop now and think long and hard about what that says about how people view you.
Secondly, your criticism of Shane ‘Crushing Vantage rather than listening to those who speak out against it’. Do you have the memory of a goldfish or are you really fucking dumb? You spoke out against the Informer and listed a whole bunch of things you wanted changed when you were still part of it. And we agreed to most of the changes and agreed to implement them. But still you made a big dramatic exit. We listened to you, and we were even willing to meet most of your ‘demands’. But you seemed to treat us like some sort of pet dog. Who is to heel to your demands exactly where and when you say. You expected us to treat you as an equal, when your childish and immature behaviour clearly didn’t warrant it.
And on a final note. It’s hilarious how you try and pin every evil analogy you can on Shane. Do you really think out of myself and Shane he’s the more evil and spiteful one? Really now. Think about it. Call yourself intelligent?
Good bye. You won’t be missed. And don’t let your huge ego hit the door on your way out.

To those who don’t know what Vantage is;
MattVortex left the Informer a few weeks back. Despite the fact a few days earlier we had agreed to make a large number of changes he had suggested to improve the Informer. A short while after he left we heard from various sources he was planning to start his own version of the Informer under the code name ‘Vantage’. We found out way before he posted those forum topics with the signatures. Then one of his writers left for the informer and he made the forum topic, and then his blog post accusing myself and Shane of ‘crushing any opposition’.
I love it when you’re angry (h)
What was this Vantage thing?
Some sort of writing project, like Endymia?
And who was the main starter of it, Anubis, or MattVortex?
And should I be having this info? Or should I just leave it be?
To clarify, the reason I chose the informer over the vantage was merely due to the facts;
1) The informer is currently more popular than the vantage.
2) The Vantage is/was very likely to become a UDC
and 3) The Vantage was made out of spite, I want to write articles, not cause any more bad blood between more members.
I’m not picking Shane over MoTV or vice versa. I’m doing what I think’s best for my articles. :\

On another note, this is probably the fastest blog post I’ve seen Brad come up with ever. XD
Endymia is a fictional story I’m writing, it has nothing to do with rsbandb, the informer, or vantage, aside from the fact I advertise any new updates to it in my signature. XD
Wow, I’m lost. I saw the “Vantage” sigs popping up, so I ran a Google search. It’s a game - one with pretty damn good graphics too. http://www.futuremark.com/3dmarkvantage/ was the site I found. Whatever.
Guess I’m going to have to catch up =\
Brad, you didn’t have to crush any opposition, at all. It is what the RIAA is doing - trying to crush any opposition without recognising them as a competitor. If you were not a complete asshole, you would have let The Vantage stay up, looked at what we were doing, and changed the Informer to be better.
There’s a very popular design of shoe that Nike make. A few years ago, someone took the design, made some shoes, changed the colours and the logo, and sold it on. Now, Nike could have got their lawyers out, but did they? No. They looked at what this guy was doing, saw the good things about it, and made their own designs that were like the other guy’s ones. Nike saw this other guy as a competitor, recognised the merits of what he was doing, changed their own designs accordingly, and have now essentially crushed him through competition.
Pfkninenines, The Vantage was going to be a small project that me, Karl 67, Warren and Anubis were working on - basically an alternative to the Informer.
As for comparing you and shane to the RIAA, Scientology, Robert Mugabe, the MPAA and China, you’re still like them. Crushing any dissent or competition or small threat. This blog post now is doing essentially what Scientology always does to its critics - trying to ruin their reputation.
I hope the Informer dies, and I hope the community dies with it.
You’ve simply reiterated your original points with slightly different wording. I’m sorry.. no wait I’m not.. that your sad little project failed again. But who do you have to blame? Look at why it fell apart. We didn’t crush Vantage. The fact you wanted to make it just to spite the informer killed it.
Stop trying to blame your own failures in making something work on us. You killed Vantage.
Meh, just annother pussy leaving RSBandB.
I’m sitting on the fence.
I’d give you a giant heart right now Brad but your blog doesn’t like ‘less-than’ signs.
How can so much hatred possess one person so much that they blame others for their own failings?
I’m curious as to how you’re allowed to rant about specific members on your blog(s) but whenever it’s a rant about you, shane and/or mike/jeff/mq the person who posted is told to remove the post or else face a ban. :/
That comment alone shows how little you know or understand about that situation.
I really can’t be bothered to justify myself or my actions to you. If you want to believe I’m a hypocritical, corrupt, evil, tyrannical moron who controls everyone and everything they say. Be my guest.
God, I love you guys.
MattVortex sounds like a big ol’ DOUCHEBAG
