== "Fake Videos" ==
Listen, I understand the need for you guys to supress dismiss these videos or whatever. But shouldn't they at least be labeled fake on the wiki rather than just trying to delete the pages, lock the topics, whatever. That's fucking suspicious.

: Actually tony I've managed to argue somewhat that the BLAMMO of the thread, while deserved due to suspect origins, dosn't necessaraly rule them out as fake. The current percentile of their authenticity is around 0.05 to 0.08, but we should leave it around for at least a week until we know for sure that the original author won't elaborate on the find. It's perfectly reasonable to suspect that the tracker in place didn't poll the site durring the small timeframe the videos were available, as is it reasonable to expect that the original page would not have actually been modified and just either moved and then replaced when the timeframe was up, or the virtual directory used was changed then changed back.
: The ONLY reasoning for declaring the videos as fake were twofold: Not 100% top quality, and lack of evidence from the polling scripts. Both reasonings have flaws but they only ammount to small chances. I suspect that if the videos ARE authentic that it was a fluke that they were obtained. I think they got downloaded while the admins were doing a quick livetest of a site they planned to release live at a later date. Nontheless, fake or real the information about other invalidated sites is on the wiki this should be here nontheless. Besides, they are EXCELLENTLY done if they are fan-made, alot of time and thought were put into them for non-official material. --[[User:BurnHavoc|BurnHavoc]] 18:05, April 11 2007
:: Thanks, Tony. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything. I'm just saying that even if they are fake, they need documentation as they are part of the "Year Zero Phenomenon". The fake websites have been documented after all. Though, no links, just as you said. That's why I didn't link them originally because I didn't know if they were fake or if they were real and weren't supposed to be obtained yet. You know? ^_^ Thanks again for being understanding and reasonable. *bows* --[[User:GrayscaleRain|GrayscaleRain]] 15:03, 11 April 2007 (PDT)
