Ebaum\'s World sucks

Quote:
Something Awful wrote
We\'ve never been the biggest fan of eBaum, seeing as he is making a living off thievery, but he crossed the line when he posted code on the front of eBaumsworld, which caused anyone visiting his site to call pages from Somethingawful, wasting bandwidth. This was a direct attack, which is ILLEGAL, and it\'s sad to know it will go unpunished.

You know at the bottom of Ebaumsworld where it says you can ask to have your content removed? They just ignore the emails. All admins, owners and moderators of Ebaum\'s are scam artists, whether or not they think so.

Spread the word about eBaum, it may be true we won\'t be able to shut him down, but I\'d like to be partially responsible for him making less money.

Fuck you eBaum.

I hate Ebaum, he\'s taken all good flash and photo movies and slaps the god-damn \"this is hosted by ebaumsworld!\" tag.

Known about the movie and this for a while.

Yeah, it\'s been pretty well known for a bit.
Rest assured, Ebaums is overrated.

I like alot of the content on eBaums, but I hate the actual site. I learned that he steals everything there and never gives credit for it on some other message board some time ago, and I feel almost obligated not to go there becuase of it.

But I can live with that.
Danceing banana\'s aren\'t that funny anyway.:rolleyes:

I have seen the film once before. Ever since, I IMMEDIATLY clicked away ANYTHING that said \'EBaumsWorld\'.
Not that I went there BEFORE I saw that film.

I\'ve known about the grand theft video for a while...that\'s why I go to MuchoSucko. The ads aren\'t boring and the content posters give credit and don\'t take it for themselves (unless it is them).

Oh....don\'t go to MuchoSucko if you are under 18 years of age or if you are offended by anything. Trust me. You\'ve been warned.


I'm older school than you are.

Bauman is a jerk, and he should be ashamed of himself. I don\'t go to that site anymore. The watermarks everywhere piss me off.

Yeah, I hope people learn about this.. Thing is, Ebaum\'s will ALWAYS have sheep that are too oblivious.

That\'s the theory of all scams.. someone will not know and provide income.
Ebaums, personally, is an interesting site as it is a compendium of all good flash, albeit stolen. With, as Mega X says, direct attack spyware. Personally, I have no qualms about viewing stolen material, cause it\'s not mine.

I really hate the whole collection mindset. If you want to go to a site that has a large collection of videos, games, and flash type stuff, why not just hit up Newgrounds.com?

That stuff is all user submitted, and not stolen.

I agree, newgrounds is A LOT better, but they still have a bunch of annoying ads.

Also agreed, Newgrounds is a lot better. I do NOT like a website insulting me when I, the person who is going on your stupid-ass site. Newgrounds is a fun nice website. Ads? Well, I just don\'t mind them. Besides, a site needs a way to somehow make cash. Although the hentai gets weird...

You just OOOZE intelligence. *slaps forehead* I guess that\'s how it is these days now though, no respect for art on the inturweb.
