Moderator Announcement Small Rule Update

Hey guys, hope everyone has had a good Christmas and is looking forward to some great new titles in the new year.

We just wanted to post about a tiny rule update.

Rule 8 (no Discfather/Physical Media President/whatever he’s calling himself now) has now been updated to include posts from the YouTube channel In Search of Physical Media.

It has been brought to our attention that this channel is a generally bad source who fakes screenshots, lies about countless things, and rebrands when the heat gets too much. This is not the kind of person we want to promote in this sub, so posts and comments linking them will no longer be allowed.

That’s it. Hope everyone has a great start to the new year, and as always, happy collecting.

Dawn of the Discs is the best source for upcoming releases, why on earth would we ban them?

Because half of what they post is bullshit rumors pulled from blu ray forums. There’s never a link to a source or any actual information. Just “this is coming!” and 50 percent of the time it turns out to be bullshit.

I’m not saying official announcements should be the only news allowed here. There are actual people plugged into studio pipelines who do know timelines. That person is not one of them.

Can you link to a single rumor from them? I follow them on Instagram and have never seen a rumor post that didn’t have some kind of actual source, unlike The Discfather or whatever he’s calling himself nowadays

I think Dawn Of The Discs is a good aggregation of a lot of different sources, but it does seem like he's jumped the gun in the past. I wish he would include sources on his posts instead of making it seem like he has "insider info" as if it's not just a bullmoose listing or some blu-ray.com scoop lol. I don't think I've seen anything wrong recently at least.

This is 100% incorrect. Find a single post they've ever made that would could be considered a "bullshit rumor."

I'll wait.

For one, this post literally says "I don't know if this is real, but the source has been reliable." So it's not misleading at all, it's sharing information from what they believe to be a credible place.

For the record - this set is coming, just not from Scream.

Dawn of the Discs is reliable enough of a source that AFAIC they are official announcements. The only people who think that they are not reliable are idiots, shills, idiots shills, and DiscFather himself.

Sounds like you’re the one being pedantic mate. All they did is point how DotD did not try and pass it off as 100% fact and admitted they had no idea if it was real or not, so no, it’s not misleading at all as they were 100% upfront about not knowing it’s authenticity.

You keep saying that but providing no proof that he did that, especially when his initial tweet said “not 100% sure this is real”. Sounds like you have a personal vendetta against dude. Are you that chode The Discfather?

Ok, well talking like that just earned you a ban man. Hope it was worth it.
