I hope people didn't think I was trying to start any false rumors or encouraging the kind of speculation that creates those kinds of rumors. The stuff about his anger was pretty much quoted right from him as he was very open about some of his anger issues and his current living/work situation. I honestly am worried about the guy as them refusing to say whats going on is a bit of a scary red flag, I just hope the guy is doing alright and ends up back on the show someday.

Don't worry, I didn't think that's what you were trying to do, but every time any slight hint of something going on between two Internet personalities pops up (or frequently, something that isn't a hint of anything but someone decided it is), you get people who absolutely insist that there must be some kind of soap-opera drama going on and put on their best tinfoil hats to desperately scrape at anything they can to build ludicrous theories, fishing for months if not years old tweets/Facebook posts and trying to create factions around these non-existant rivalries that anyone outside of these people would have no reason to get involved into even if it were true, and of course these people insist that their interpretation is fact, even when the people concerned come out and say it's bullshit.
So I think it's best to avoid encouraging this type of behaviour

Trying to remember which one he was. Was he one of the Bros? Yeah, he was also Jeff in The Reviewers, the guy with the "Space Lancer Steve" character. If you watch the Midnight Screenings (which you should), he's the one who hates puns with a passion.

Well, I heard he had sex with Brad's ex wife and then made Brad smell his finger.

Only after he murdered Lloyd and fed Brad some "Lloyd steak." Hmmm...that sounded better in my head.

How to discourage speculation: "Jake is unfortunately leaving / taking a break from the site, but the rest of us will continue as usual"
How to encourage speculation: "Jake is unfortunately leaving the site, for super secret reasons which we definitely won't tell under any circumstances. So if you thought that he simply felt like doing something else, or don't have the time anymore because of jobs or family issues or something, rest assured that it's nothing like that, because if it was, we would've mentioned that."

Yeah, sometimes I think they could stand to be handle these sorts of things different. Game Grumps is probably the prime example of how not to do it, if we're talking overly secret ones. While I get that some things need to be personal or secret, you can squash a lot of speculation with a grain of truth at least.

Brad Jones finally broke the silence and let it all out. I really feel bad for the guy. Any sympathy I had for Jake is all about gone. He is clearly never going to be on the site again
This was from a post in the channel awesome message boards and by Brad's verified forum account.

How do video review sites birth so much f***ing drama? Because people get mad at each-other sometimes, except we lie in a day where people won't leave you the f*** alone until you make private matters public. But frankly, most cases of "drama" were really nothing big, at least until people with too much time on their hands and no sense of perspective decided to try and turn them into huge wars while the people supposedly "feuding" were laughing at how ridiculous some people's speculations over their private lives got. Hey, remember how everyone at CA totally hated Spoony and he was banned form the site forever and totally never appeared there ever again? And how the people who recently left definitely burned their bridges with them and that's why there totally aren't crossovers between them and CA people right now? As for this, if true that is indeed a big ol' dick move, although something about it seems off. Seems weird that Jones would suddenly go public like that when he usually doesn't go too much into his private life (I hate the way people say he's "breaking the silence" as if it were shady that people are trying to keep a private matter private and not turn it into fan-wank material), although from what I understand it is from a private discussion with someone who felt the need to post it in the forums (it wasn't actually posted by Brad but by someone who created an account just for this, although Brad does appear to have confirmed it), which isn't creepy at all. And the tone of the whole thing makes me wonder how sure he is that he's got the whole story himself as he seems to be speaking out of anger more than from a rational place. Plus it seems nothing wrong was going on just one or two days earlier (there was a Midnight Screening posted like the day before Jake left and there wasn't even a hint of animosity between the two) and suddenly he hates him and lashes out like that? Again, it makes it seem to me like he may have overreacted to something he wasn't 100% sure about himself. On top of that, the other members of Team Snob don't seem to have a problem with him, which, again, makes me wonder if Brad's claims are all that sure.

This is like the third time you've subtly insulted me and my posts in this thread and accused me of stirring the pot and creepily meddling in someones private affairs. When everything I am posting is pretty public stuff and by no means were my intentions to bombard an internet celebrity for private info, as I've never spoke with anyone involved once, literally all of this is from these people's actual message boards.

How do video review sites birth so much f***ing drama? It's the pact with the devil that was made for Snob getting his vids pushed by Spoony, that or divine retribution for mocking all those Christian films. Up or down somebody wants to rip Brad Jones a new cake hole.

I dunno why but Brad should have cut a Randy Savage styled promo about the whole incident.
"Jake Norvill, YOU GOT LUST IN YOUR EYES AND IN YOUR BLACK HEART!..."

For the record, the last Jake video was on March 12th, so little less than a week before the announcement.
