World Wide Web War I: YTMND vs E-Baums-World

[Alzar]

There's a really funny "war" going on with e-baums-world against ytmnd.

Wikipedia article about it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web_War_I

It began with this:

In early January 2006, it was discovered that the popular YTMND fad Lindsay Lohan Doesn't Change Facial Expressions [1] had been hosted and rebranded on eBaum's World [2] (since removed by the moderators). It was at this point that members of the YTMND forums and other forums decided to organize a counterattack.

However Eric Bauman later stated that his site did not steal the animation, but rather it was submitted by a user claiming to be the original creator.

Quite a few funny ytmnds are being made about it, my favorite being a retarded letter that Eric Bauman's dad sent to the creator of ytmnd, read in dramatic fashion:

Eric Bauman and his site are looking more and more foolish...

Re: World Wide Web War I: YTMND vs E-Baums-World

New developments since then, though. I guess the guy from Something Awful who made the Ebaum's World Sucks flash was contacted by Eric Bauman, who was basically asking what he had to do to get eba*msworldsucks.com removed. Here's the conversation .

Yea, if they can't make their own material that doesn't allow them to steal it.

OMG a stolen flash animation.

Actually, Lemon Demon made the song, so removing the flash wouldn't really help. It's the unoffical ballad of the war, and killing the flash won't really stop it.

Ok. We will be in touch. Once again, I would appreciate if you kept this conversation private and didn't post it anywhere.

That was my favorite part.
