Now this doesn't have any direct relation to the SoI series, but it is a recent happening for the Yogscast. As you probably have seen if you watch any of their youtube videos, Many of the comment sections have been disabled. They mentioned the "differently abled" comments in a recent episode of YogNews, and I thought it was so funny how they were acting in a manner that is about half as annoying as the actual comments. One of the things that was brought to my attention was when they mentioned that there were a number of fake real channels that were popping up. I wondered how someone could do this. I know ever since the main channel became popular, there have been scores of youtube names that are basically misspellings of BlueXephos. But that is not anything new. But when I was going to watch my SoI playlist (I made one with only the SoI episdoes... none of that extra stuff) I looked through the comments and found a couple from what at first seemed to be the actual main channel. As I was reading the conversation between the "main channel" and another account, the comments by the "main channel" were not characteristic of something a professional youtuber would post. So I click on the name, and it takes me to a youtube page with a cover head like the real main channel, but no videos. I was legitimately surprised. I screenshotted the conversation here so you can see it for yourself:

So just wanted to let everyone know in case you were doubting it, that this fake account thing is really happening. And to anyone that reads this, if you see anything posted from what looks to be the main channel, click the name and see if it takes you to their actual youtube page. Don't believe what you hear straight from the comments. Likely if it is true information it will be posted as an actual video or in additional places like the forums or on social media sites. And if you so happen to be an owner of one of these fake channels, just cut it out. You and other annoying people are the reason the rest of us can't comment. And it isn't fair. It isn't cool, and you aren't being funny by trolling everyone. So please stop.

Let's celebrate! I bet you are asking, what for? Well, today so happens to be an important anniversary for the Yogscast. It is the one year anniversary of SoI Part 42: The Oasis. That's right, it has been a WHOLE YEAR since any new SoI content was put out on the channel. If you ask me, it is really surprising. Since I started this blog back in December, I have mentioned the passing months and milestones that came and went without a new episode. I honestly thought that it would take a while for new episodes, but not this long. At this point they better be finishing the whole thing and it should be at least a full length motion picture time wise. Lol. But you know I think the fans should be proud. Even with a LOT of complaining (so much that it is partially to blame for the comments being disabled on the main channel) the fans have survived a year without SoI. If you are reading this you probably love SoI as much as I do, and I know a week used to feel like a year when they first started the series. So pat yourself on the back... you have overcome adversity and survived on the SoI playlist on constant loop for a year. I bet you could probably recite every episode... I am getting close lol ;)
So I hope you all go celebrate. Sorry it is the end of the day and there probably isn't time to go buy a cake... Well, maybe if you are lucky enough to have a 24 hour mart. But celebrate a belated anniversary, and here's to hoping we will at least get an episode but the end of 2013. Cheers!
p.s. I am blogging on my ipad for the first time... Not sure how it will turn out. Sorry for any spelling mistakes or autocorrects!
