HundredProofSam Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Thats a whole bunch of lies. Let ME tell you what really happened. One day HPF Sam got told off by one exbii admin. So in a blocked rage, he decided to start his own forum to compete with exbii. However, just when he was all set to start, his young cousins invaded his room to surprise him by their visits. "Bhaiya kya kar rahe ho?" -- "Ye konsa forum bana rahe ho?" kind of innocent questions started pouring up. HPF Sam couldn't tell the truth and so he said, "Beta main Indian Video Gamers ke liye ek forum bana raha hu." Kids got excited and started screaming various slogans with their ends rhyming with HPF Sam's name. BAM! IVG was born!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sam is tight lipped about the incident. It is better not to poke in this matter. It is internal for the site admins. Nothing like that. Disagreement was purely over the direction in which we wanted to take IVG (then GI) content. For Vinit it was a site focusing largely on casual/mobile gaming. It would make the site easier to monetise. To which the rest of us were like "Bro do you even AAA?" So we disagreed. Next thing I know, gamingindians.com (domain owned by Vinit) no longer points to our website. 3,000+ members had no way to reach these forums. So we just bought a different domain. First it was gamingsauce.com (temporary name till the community could come up with a name together), and now its IVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the admins thought that our gaming forum should be only limited to Consoles, and then one day a low profile member joined this community. Rest as they say is history Bastard :| And wait. We had a PC section? Exactly the reason his name was downgraded from ThousandProofSam to HundredProofSam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were basically a bunch of guys on the Xbox.com forums who kept getting suspended/banned for asking Microsoft why they launched a Rs 28,000 console but didn't launch any games to go with it. After repeated bans, we decided to create a forum of our own. Because banning people seemed like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godspeed4476 Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Seems that every 1had their 1t topic locked by MT. I remember vinit opening up my locked topic but MT argued with him and closed my topic again, it was related to some network issue. This is when the corruption started. Good guys like vinit were gradually marginalized and eventually thrown out. Later HPjam and his other lackeys made up some random cover up story to hide their hostile takeover. This is why GAC was formed. To fight the evil corrupting the gamers of India. GAC forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
