does rob have beef with godzilla-movies.com?

i think rob is okay with us for the most part.

idk, he definatly has beef with somebody 

he doesn't have much beef, he just calling out news that he thinks is bs untill it is made official as this site has been posting news not official, in his opinion (a fair one as well) he's trying to help gfans reading and accepting with unoffical news.

I have to disagree with Joshua about this one. Sorry Josh. I respect you and what you do on youtube, but this site has let me and many others down on more occasions than it's come through. I'd say that's a website that deserves the slam it's been getting.

Just as many false rumors and baseless speculations have been posted on this site and slapped with the ever so popular "what if it's true" logo that it's almost laughable. I can appreciate trying to hype the fans and trying to bring them information, but there are limitations and boundaries that shouldn't be crossed if you claim to be a legitimate source of information, and this site has crossed them all more than once. The most recent instanace being Chris's "source" turning ot to be full of crap even though he defended them during the initial "leak." That's a line that one doesn't cross, thinking that your sources are always good ones, and Chris crossed it.

No matter how well you know a source, you should always question them and keep an open mind and that's something I told Chris when I replied to that thread about the leaked 4 second clips that turned out to be hoaxes. I haven't checked since I left that response, but I can guarantee I got hate for it. However, I was right. His source turned out to be unreliable and the information fooled everyone, even him. I was one of the few who questioned the information and said that while I hoped it was true, I wasn't going to put all of my faith in it.

I do agree that this site does a good job of bringing us the latest news once it's out and confirmed, but it's not because they got to it first. When someone else posts first and then you repost it, it's not your news and you have no right to lay claim to the credit for bringing it to our attention. That's something that almost all the fans on this site don't seem to understand is that this site gets its information from someone else who posted it first every single time, even if it's Legendary themselves who post it first. Once the site posts it, everyone says "Thank you for this information!!" even though they could have found it themselves by visiting Legendary's site or by searching for the newest articles themselves. With or without this site, the information would make its way to our attention but this site doens't do a good enough job of relaying that fact to the members who always rely on this site first.

This site gets more credit than it deserves for much of the information that it has brought to us throughout the last few years just because it did so quickly, and that's likely what Rob understands and what he doesn't like about the site. It's also what I don't like about the site, no disrespect to Chris and what he does, but he and his site have gotten more credit for the information than the actual sources who brought it to his attention first. He usually is good about citing them, but he doesn't do a good enough job communicating the fact that it's not his information in the first place and that the true credit goes to those who received/found it first and brought it to his attention. He makes an effor to do so, don't get me wrong, but it's not good enough.

Now despite my little rant here, I do appreciate this site and what it's trying to do. However, I, like Rob on E.T.N, will always remain skeptical about information I find here unless I can confirm it myself elsewhere. Nobody should ever trust any single site for information, even this one, no matter how much they like it.

i agree with kyero, really i only trust official news from reliable and 100% trusted official sources, LP and WB with the movie and trailers, big toy companies like Bandai and NECA with merchindise. i also agree with his opinion on Rob of ETN, he isn't attacking fans, he is trying to 'protect' them from beliving unofficial, unreliable sources like the lebenese website (who verbally attacked him in the most unprofessianal fashion and claimed they had links to WB).

I am honestly unsure as to why people are attacking Chris so badly over this, all he is guilty of is trusting the wrong person. I don't see the point in beating a man when he is down. He made one mistake and never meant any harm, he even deleted the thread once he found out it was fake news. That can happen to anyone, he just needs to be more careful next time.

No one has ever has never hidden the fact its a fansite. As for any news it's always clearly sourced in links. e, there is a link to the Official Godzilla site on the login page right under the link to this site. This place is supposed to be a place for fans to unite and talk about their love for movies. Heck, we just got a kid who has cancer in contact with 'Make A Wish Foundation' so his dream can come true. That's the type of place we try to be, a nice place. 

This is kind of getting old now to be honest. Yeah I've posted speculative articles on our news section, because all speculative posts were a result of having some actual, solid information to go by. The troll video was the ONLY post which I jumped the gun on and took a gamble with. Sometimes when you gamble, you lose.

People saying "we deserve to be slammed" clearly don't visit many other entertainment websites. Speculative articles are a MUST as it engages thought and discussion - the sole purpose of this network. I have never posted a speculative article without the support of legitimate information to back up the speculation. I have not once randomly posted a thought of mine without the accompanyment of actual news to help fuel the speculation.

I am aware of Rob and his videos. Unfortunately he has been misinformed about a few details regarding our website when promoting his opinions. I find it unfortunate that someone would profit from slandering other websites and people who are trying to hype this film as much as possible, but he is entitled to his opinions just as everyone else is. 

We posted one false story and I even took it down so it can no longer generate traffic. It's gone. Aside from that one mess up, we've had a solid track record as a news & entertainment website. Clearly people like what we have to say otherwise we wouldn't have new users signing up on a daily basis.

And finally, we're Godzilla-Movies.com NOT "GodzillaMovieNews" or "GodzillaNews.com". Just Godzilla-Movies. Don't get our domains mixed up with someone who might run another Godzilla website with one of those domains. That's not fair to them.

Locking This.
