New Rhett & Link website: Removal of "Kommunity" from site & GMM Episodes -updated 1st Sept

The official Rhett and Link website has been updated. 

What do you think of the new look?

(Yes at present that website removing the banner branding has also removed the banner from here)

The Kommunity is linked on the new website however it is now listed as "Fan Forum". 

Edit: Changed title because of discussion issues:

Issue 1) The Kommunity being referred to as a "Fan Forum"

Issue 2) The removal of the Kommunity url from GMM Episodes video description boxes since Aug 10th.


Edit 1st September

R&L have changed the link on the website from fan forum to Fan Kommunity and have reinstated the Kommunity url in the GMM episode description box.

Thank you Rhett and Link, sincerely from all of us

I'm a bit sad to see it as "Fan Forum", we lost our 'KOMM' branding from the official R&L location - sure we are still the Komm here but it feels a bit cold. Not to mention the Kommunity isn't a forum, the forum is only part of this website/social network, so linking us as 'fan forum' doesn't really work in my honest opinion. This is the RhettandLinKommunity and I'm not sure why there was a need to change what we have always been referred to as.

Brian Layman (eHermit) is already working with Becca and the folks at Mythical Entertainment to restore our banners as a temp fix until our redesign project has completed.  Stay tuned for details.

I hope they realize all the Website exclusive videos are gone. As of now we have lost all the GMMores from season 4 and stuff like the BTS videos for the Christmas Carol & Bicycle Cop Caption Fail videos. Hopefully they'll either re-upload or find a new way to link to them. :-/

Yeah that was a shock to see. 
I know I'm not alone in saying that all the exclusive videos (though they kinda stopped too) have been going to Facebook and not the website/komm as in the past was disappointing.  Made things a little more special to have them on site/here, but to have everything just gone like that is sad. Hopefully that will be fixed.

Also few angry people on social network venting about the Kommunity now being just the 'fan forum'. I thought I was being overly sensitive because of mod status but seems that others are feeling sad about it too.

You're not being overly sensitive.  It does seem like a bit of a slap in the face to the fans who buy their merchandise, watch their videos and want to actually be a part of the Kommunity.  I want to believe that Rhett and Link didn't mean anything by it but it does seem intentional with the Kommunity not being part of the descriptions anymore.  In the Kommunity Update Video, they mentioned that they would still recognize the Kommunity publicly but everything that is being done seems to be going in the opposite direction.

It's a shame to lose the BTS videos, but Season 4 GMMores are still on YouTube, just unlisted. They can be found in this playlist.

We were actually able to notify R&L of the problem with GMMore for season 4. They had one of the crew fix the broken links to all of them so you can click through the episodes to get to them.

As far as the old BTS videos, they're still gone for the moment. I'm not sure if they'll be able to bring them back considering most were uploaded directly to the old site, not through youtube.

I just noticed that too, since blip tv shut down on the 20th, you can't watch the exclusive videos on their website or blip tv. Real bummer guys.

Also going to add that the "JOIN the RhettandLinKommunity!" url has been deleted from the GMM youtube description box as of Aug 10th (with the exception of the Animated Song Biscuits). That's very sad to see, we have been linked there for so many years.

That's the part that's really bothering me. Just because they have officially "handed over the keys to the K-Mods" does not mean that we should be forgotten and completely taken out of the description. Like you said earlier, we are proud of our Komm and we deserve to be known as more than a fan forum.

Yup that's why we edited the first post in bright red :)

Also Rhett replied here about it.
