On the Todd in the Shadows acronym, here’s a forum post by him mentioning it. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=17721&start=100#p216253

I honestly can’t believe the amount of mail I got about this. 

For those not on twitter who didn’t see the link, head over to talkshoe right now.

I have pending questions regarding LordKat, the Cinema Snob movie and Angry Joe.  There are some other, small questions too, mostly asking for little bits to be tracked down, I’ve got 16 messages in total waiting to be responded to, but if you think I may not have got your question, send it in again.  Don’t forget that if you want a private response you have to be logged in.

Does Todd in the Shadows realize his acronym is TITS?

Yes, I think he probably does, but if you want to verify that, you’ll have to ask him yourself. 

I only published this because every time I saw it in my inbox it made me laugh in a very immature way. 

Elf

It’s like he never existed.

Well apparently he did exist, not that I could track down much information on him.

He’s listed on the former contributors page on the tgwtg wiki, here.

His twitter, here, implied that he left to run his own site, kokugamer.com however his twitter hasn’t been updated since April last year and I couldn’t find reference to him on the site’s About page so he may have left or be now using a new net handle. 

This was pretty much all I could find on him, sorry it couldn’t be more enlightening.

Rumour Elf

So, Panda Q&A. I’ve been everywhere on the internet and I just can’t find anyone to confirm, but will there ever be another series? They keep teasing, but I need to know. GO RUMOUR ELF!

Sorry this one took me so long to answer, I have been trying to dig out info on it since you sent it in. 

No, I couldn’t find a confirmation anywhere.  I think the teases imply there possibly will, but I think we’re going to have to wait and see on this one. 

Rumour Elf

Just to clear up the sequence of events here, here’s a bit about the Apollo situation. This is Lupa, you can e-mail me or contact my twitter/facebook/what have you if you’d like to confirm it’s me. 

I’ll try and make it brief, this is just for clarity. I was dating Matt at the time, and he had some doubts about how things were run on the site, and after we had broken up (this was for personal reasons, not anything to do with the site), he decided to step down because he thought it’d be hard to work with me after that.

Shortly after, the incident where he was recorded talking about the third year happened, and none of us knew what was happening. Asalieri got the recording from a former friend of Matt’s, who recorded the skype call without his knowledge, and it was put in a youtube video with a filter on the voice. I recognized who it was, and because of what he was saying, how he was saying it, a lot of us were angry with him. There was misinformation passed around on all sides (Asalieri claiming that Elisa was hung upside down in a crucifix position, us not knowing Matt had no knowledge of the recording, etc). After all was said and done, everything about the behind the scenes at the third anniversary has been talked about (and Orlando’s accident is even on the DVD, it shows exactly what happened) and everything should be cleared up about that. The incident had nothing to do with Matt leaving the site, but it left a lot of broken bridges. The timing also left a lot of people thinking this is why he left.

As for the rumors of me stringing Matt along after the break up, that’s partially Asalieri, partially “bros before hos.” Asalieri had mentioned on Dead Horse Interchange that I was a low person who was stringing Matt along, telling him I might get back together with him or maybe not, something to do with the site. I never said that at any point, I’m not going to string anyone along because of a website, and Asalieri certainly knows nothing about what our relationship was. In any case, we are not together, have not been together for quite some time, and I am very happy with Phelan now. There’s no stringing to be had.

I also saw someone say Matt left because of the Dark Nella Saga. That’s not true, although he mentioned the number of episodes might have had to do with how long Reviewaverse Saga was going to be. I don’t know on that one.

If there’s anything else that needs clearing up feel free to ask.

Thanks very much to Lupa for sending this in, (I did confirm before posting.)

Hopefully guys this will clear up some stuff, Lupa assured me that this was the genuine reason Apollo left. 

Rumour Elf

Hello all, Elf here.  Just a very quick update because I just got home after my third consecutive 16 hour shift (one to go *sob*), and I’m so very, very tired right now.

I have about 8 or 9 questions waiting in my inbox that I have read and I kind of know how to get started on and one which I think I’m going to be flying blind on, but I’ll try my very best to answer it if I can. 

So to my request, I’ve been getting a few more asks about Apollo Z Hack and right now I’m thinking that if I can actually contact him and ask him about a couple of them, it might be the quicker and more reliable way of finding out.  So of those who actively follow him, can anyone tell me the best place to go to contact him?  Twitter/facebook/reviewtopic/etc?  Or if he has a public email address, that would be super. (send it through the ask box, please. *hugs in advance*)

This may not pan out, given that I have a personal rule about not pretending to be a random fan and actually letting the person know who I am and why I’m asking when attempting to contact producers for info and I get the feeling that I’m, shall we say, not very popular at the moment, to put it politely.  All I can do though is try my best to find out the information for you guys and if all else fails there are other places I can try and look.
