MaximumRD Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 This is not a thing or a big deal and pretty insignificant measured against just about anything BUT oddly I was nominated Youtuber of the Month in Novabugs monthly series. Last time this happened was years ago and I was up against Steve Benway so yeah I lost by a landslide lol. This time it is looking like Grubgun will trounce me soundly. Though I post in my timeline and various Facebook groups I don't expect THAT to help me so I am hoping here among friends I could ask some of you go to this video on youtube and in the comments simply post something like "I nominate MaximumRD for next Youtuber of the month" OR simply "I vote MaximumRD" in this way I will have at least a few votes, clearly I need not worry about making a acceptance speech but at the very least if I could at least get a few votes here and there wont be a complete slaughter. If you guys could throw me a bone, throw me a pity vote (I have no pride) that would be cool and appreciated. Thanks in advance. Here is video Is was nominated (I had voted for Kit and he won and so I am among his nominations) CLICK THIS LINK TO GO STRAIGHT TO VIDEO AND COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9bwmKDigsQ Thanks gang, I was not expecting to post this when I woke up but I seen this video and had a bunch of messages and notifications so thought I should address it. It is a crazy, hectic and unpleasant week I am trying to get through but if you guys could help me out that will be at least something pleasant.

Atari 5200 Guy Posted August 14, 2016 Report Posted August 14, 2016 whoops. I think I voted twice. Once under my gmail account and once under my live account. I didn't realize my laptop was signed in to my gmail account (which is usually strictly for my tablet). Opps. I hope that doesn't hurt your votes. Also...I'm going to have to pick up the MaximumRD Mania 2600 game LOL I don't have that one.
MaximumRD Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Posted August 31, 2016 WELL GANG FYI - MUCH to my surprise I was just messaged by Chris aka NovaBug, I TIED for YOUTUBER of the month, which is incredible considering how rarely I upload these days. TO BE CLEAR I TIED with Grubgun which is fine as I totally expected to lose by a landslide but thanks to my begging and all of you who took pity on me and voted I tied, we each got 36 votes I will follow up here when I make a video and nominate 5 others. Thanks again to all that voted, certainly the majority of votes came from here.

Justin Posted September 8, 2016 Report Posted September 8, 2016 Congratulations MaximumRD! Thank you for the website shoutout! That was very kind of you. We're super fortunate to have a guy like you as a founding member and site Moderator Here's to all the great years ahead
MaximumRD Posted September 9, 2016 Author Report Posted September 9, 2016 Thanks so much guys Really appreciate it. Listen one last thing, likely I will not be nominated anytime soon and I one of my nominations win that would be cool BUT if I could ask for one last tiny favour? The last person I nominated was Fred / aka Gamingnight. See, he has been on youtube for years, his videos are not the fanciest and he has very few subscribers, I think he is a pretty shy and humble guy just sharing his hobbies (board and card games and classic games) I included him because after 7 years and 500 videos to date he has like 545 subscribers. I know he does not get a lot of recognition, no doubt he comes off as pretty geeky to many and yet there he is still plugging away, when I mentioned I had nominated him he had no idea what it was about, he seemed pretty shocked. I am pretty sure he has little chance to win let alone get many votes, I am not looking to "rig" anything, I honestly think if everyone here voted he would still likely lose to one of the other nominations so you know what I am asking, I think he would be absolutely over the moon for ANY votes he gets SO if any of you could do me a solid and click the link to this month video (I will add it below, it is the same as above "Youtuber of the Month 2016") and just comment you would like to vote for GAMINGNIGHT ! I am sure he expects little to no votes and I think it would mean more to him than anyone else, I will try to make this my last request, just want to pass on some good feeling and karma to a good generous fellow who gets little praise. THANKS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AU5-oqMGGs0 I am Rob aka MaximumRD aka OldSchoolRetroGamer and THIS is my world http://about.me/maximumrd "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life.
