AAUK: Network of Posers “Unacceptable”
Sonic Wrecks owner and maintainer of the official Sonic City Blognik ArchangelUK has confirmed the network of Sonic related channels on Youtube claiming to be official outlets are not.
“this account is unofficial and nothing to do with either SEGA or Sonic Team, their claim as to being official is erroneous and any information on there is not from official channels,” AAUK said in a statement yesterday morning. “Thus any information on them cannot be considered trustworthy.”
AAUK also noted action will be taken against the network of sites, which is run out of Japan and includes channels claiming to be the official outlets of Sonic and over a dozen others.
“I will be contacting the channel/s confirmed and requesting they make some major changes,” AAUK confirmed. “Pretending to be official is (very) naughty and doing that and answering messages from those who may believe the page is legitimate AS Sonic, well…it should be obvious how unacceptable that is. If they do not comply it will be taken down. Simple as.”
The channel became the source of debate and dispute last Friday, when we reported the channel noted a 2010 release date for the next Sonic Mega Collection. Now that the source of the information has been irrefutably proven unreliable, the original story qualifies under our policy as a factual error, even as it was filed under our Rumor Alert section, and clearly labeled as. As such, last Friday’s story concerning the purported Sonic Mega Collection 3 has been retracted and purged from our archives, and we regret any confusion it may have caused.

Heh. Who CAN you trust on the internet nowadays? =/
YES! No stupid collection!
That channel felt to much “fan” I think, so It was hard to belive that it was official.
I KNEW IT WAS FAKE!
Darn it, they tricked us all!!! I wanted for SMC3 so badly
Ah crap… *facepalm* now I feel like shooting the ones who made those channels >:(
aaaw, bugger.
It’s a good idea, but fraud is fraud. Just because you can do something, yadda yadda yadda -
I didn’t care much for SMC3, but I did think the site was pretty spiffy.
That information about sonic mega collection 3 it’s was cleary false, because it’s bean realeased a “few days ago” Sonic Ultimate Genesis Collection, and it would be prepausturas that Sega realease another in such small time…
ANOTHER THING people are allways saying that the WEREHOG SUCKS on SONIC UNLEASHED now I ask, why in this recent poll the character that has most votes is the Werehog? why people want to see him so barely in Sonic & Sega All-Stares Racing?? anwser: beacause people love the Werehog, everybody likes him, but in SU the best stages are the day ones, but the Werehog is cool to is great actually
Sonic Unleashed (SU): Your right!
I like Mr Monster guy, but his gameplay wasn’t that good. Nice-guy Sonic is better!
I knew they were fake the second I saw Chip’s channel.
I knew they were fake the second they listed Sonic’s “occupation” as a “Freedom Fighter.”
It was obviously created by a dumb fan who cannot get his facts straight.
@Werehog: thanks man, you’r right too, but I just and barely hope that Sega (Sonic Team) make SONIC UNLEASHED 2 (or something like that) with more stages mutch a bigger game
and I hope that CHIP is inclueded in the game, and if Mr.Monster Guy is inclueded too I hope his game play improve, but it was not that bad too lol and I expect Metal Sonic’s return, just imagine last level in the game SONIC vs METAL SONIC 
I love the ideia imagine a fight like SONIC THE MOVIE between Sonic and Metal auuuch 100% PERFECT GAME 
I thought so.
This is just sad. Why do people waste their time making these? . Well, at least it wasn’t a fan-character channel.
@Sonic Unleashed: Nah, I love Chip but it would only cheapen the ending of SU, the same way Sonic Heroes cheapened the ending to SA2B, if Chip was revealed to be alive.
Of course he IS alive, he’s just ‘asleep’, but I think it would be beter if he remained more or less in the backstage part of the game, if at all.
How exactly does AAUK just saying that the channels are fake actually PROVE that they’re fake?
@Sonic Unleashed: People are voting for the werehog because they’re retarded children who don’t care for Sonic’s future. How can you honestly like the Werehog? Jesus christ.
For the most part, the channels looked legit, so kudos for that. What will become of the Mario channel, though?
@serpx: I’m a true sonic fan, I’m always with Sonic in the bad and good moments!!! in my opinion the werehog is pretty cool actualy, but do not compare him with Mr. nice guy Sonic off course, but I only hope that they make SU2 (Sonic Unleashed 2) !!! ALL SONCI FANS (not only those but also many other people) WILL BUY THEM BECAUSE EVERYBODY LOVES HIM!!! with Werehog or not! I hope that he returns!!!
Werehog was just a silly (note I said silly not stupid) idea to begin with. They took an anthropromorphic animal and turned him into….an anthropromorphic animal. It was just sorta pointless. They could have just used a different or even (though I think it’d have gone over worse than Werehog) an all together new character. Also, serpx, that’s a very broad, sweeping generalization. Phrases like those are generally wrong. (You too Sonic Unleashed.)
@Skai Cyan: yes you’r right but I’m only defend my favorite character of all time, enfim… if people don’t want to see the Werehog in SSASR why don’t they vote in Fang/Nack (sonic) ??????? He is an old sonic character, I would like to see him bakc in a sonic game, but I want t osee the werehog to in the upcoming sonic game.
@Sonic Unleashed: Sonic will someday cease to exist if you keep supporting the bad ideas and efforts of SEGA/Sonic Team.
mario equals the werehog, if the werehog sucks mario sucks too
But Mario doesn’t fight like the Werehog or have stretchy arms. Yet.
@EveryonetalkingabouttheWerehog:
Look guys… Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, wouldn’t the Werehog lose his ‘epicness’ if he kept on reappearing? Unleashed wouldn’t be a unique Sonic game anymore. I would prefer it if the next game was just Sonic thank you.
@DoctorEggman: exactly mario doesn’t fight, mario doesn’t do nothing awsome like that, that’s my point of view Eggman
Mario doesn’t do anything awesome? Good god, how you miserabley fail. And how exactly did the Werehog do awesome stuff? Learn what the fuck an opinion is, respect everyone’s, and learn when to shut up.
That also applies to everyone here.
I must admit I didn`t like the werehog idea it seems really stupid to give sonic who is already a hedgehog an were-form but the form has it`s good things like Sonic beat the crap out robots , he can double jump , throwing enemies off a stage (which is pretty funny) , he doesn`t die from being hit with 0 rings & he brought the true roots of a platform game to the series & the bad things : Slow as fuck … so that only bad thing about the werehog lol
@serpx: No sonic will someday cease to exist because people like you cant respect the oppinions of others in the fanbase so other people and newcomers wont want to be apart of it.
omg he got it from wiki. u cant blame him. and sega could care less so chill
honestly how is it fake. did u think it was an official sega site?? obviously not! its a healthy domain for fans of sega to explore POSSIBLE information that is not always be held credible but merely a discussion of what could be credible. so no, it is not a site for 100% credible information. so what! its simply fun to discuss.
