Thanks for drawing attention to the positives of the group, all too easy to not mention things that are ok, but praises should be sung so fir play :) Compared to many other groups Ive knows, the elitist label is indeed bullshit. Ive already said why I dont think its true, and the few areas where

Thanks for the tipoff, I watched about half an hour of it, hope I got all the relevent bits. Great aim, I might be remembering wrong but I think part of the original idea of vlogweek was to encourage others to vlog. Quite how to achieve this is another question, I dont really know how many
