Yeah, they did. I remember him going out with them once during RTX (I think) and everyone making a giant fuss out it.

It wouldn’t be beyond belief that they genuinely didn’t know.
His whole persona was that he was a family man, at least within the office, and when you’re not really that close to someone, it’d be easy enough to just believe him.
There’s a let’s play for some racing game where he rings his wife to ask a question about cats and he’s this meek little ‘yes dear, love you dear’ guy.
He also made a point to leave every day at 5pm, even when videos were being filmed (see Uno the Movie). He never invited people to his house, his wife never went to conventions or showed up in content, the only significant other not to.
 
There's some other things that were mentioned being in videos/I vaguely remember that I'm looking for before they probably get deleted.
Adam's mother showing him crime scene photos
Growing up thinking he's poor but his Mom just didn't want to buy things
Being left outside in the cold by a babysitter
Getting his first handjob in a driveway (?)
His favorite childhood memory of being taken to the beach by his dad, finding out it was just his dad proving to the court that he's a good father
Getting his first handjob in a driveway was this video. It's around the 6 minute mark. I would have made an archive, but I don't know the best way to do that.

Edit: Figure out how to use youtube-dl. I could only upload up to 480p on Kiwi. Also have a higher quality if anyone needs it.

Speaking of Adam and Ryan, in 2016 Ryan, Michael, and Gavin had a video with Adam, Lawrence Elise and James in Dead By Daylight. Two videos were put out, one from AHs perspective with Ryan playing and Michael and Gavin given commentary. The other video was Funhaus perspective, because of some of the snotty shit that Michael said Funhaus got a bit butthurt and Bruce and Michael maybe Lawrence too got into an argument on reddit.

Anyway, Ryan ripped FH apart, their inability to work together much less communicate was his best advantage against them. It looks like Ryans been a really good predator for a long time now.
 
Tl;dr Someone came forward to them with a victim's story (snaps and chats) but didn't get their permission to share them. (The person who leaked it to them was also someone they knew personally that was causing outside drama in their lives.) The mods went to Ryan, Ryan lied his ass off and they let it lie.

Mods always know.

It's absolutely appalling to me that MULTIPLE people, mainly adults by the look of these mods, knew of these goings on and said nothing. So many people knew and chose to ignore it. They would rather let Ryan prey on his fanbase of predominately teenage girls and obscure the truth of this from his wife than lose their fucking positions as mods. Absolutely disgusting.

Sneak edit: Ryan unfollowed Lindsay TODAY.

Interesting that Lindsay is the ONLY one he unfollowed, even though plenty of others from RT have unfollowed him. The only thing I can think is that Lindsay gave him the mother of all dressing downs and they had a screaming match - after all, why would Ryan not unfollow anyone but Lindsay, who we rarely see together in the public sphere?

Alternately, perhaps they already didn't like each other/had some kind of beef, and all this shit happening meant they didn't need to keep up the facade? Food for thought.

%100 calling bullshit on Michael. Absolutely calling bullshit on that. He knows something if he knew Gavin was being a fucking pest.

Connect the Hots is something that Geoff and Gavin were proud about and clearly discussed quite often around the office, so Michael knew full well about it after the Let's Build containing their discussion of it was released. There wasn't much time between that Let's Build and the podcast where Michael called Gavin out, so I'm willing to bet he decided to bide his time and bring it up then, when Gavin couldn't get away with not answering.

Ryan's a dumbass for sure, but he definitely wasn't dumb enough to be SUPER open about his dalliances. Sure, he was sloppy and it's basically a guarantee that SOMEONE knew - but I can find it in my heart to believe that Michael (and probably Fiona) didn't know. Certainly, Lindsay didn't know, given that she's the only one Ryan unfollowed; their relationship, if they ever had one, was probably shattered.

Unrelated to all this, but I just remembered something unbelievable, and - I won't lie - I spent like 30 minutes trying to find this. (If I'm late, feel free to clown on me.) In Episode 67 of the Minecraft let's plays, Ryan sings "Black or White" by Michael Jackson, but changes the lyrics to be "Thing about my baby, it don't matter if you're black or white - or 12, or 9, or 8." I'm not even fucking joking about this. (Here's a link to it in the official video, before they take it down - timestamp is at 19:40 for anyone who wants to archive it.) Notice Geoff losing his shit and easily going along with the joke, while Gavin and Jack were dead silent, Ray tried to brush it off with a non-joke, and Michael sounds audibly grossed out. Very interesting stuff.

Also in my search, found this clip of Michael saying that Ryan is "not normal" and that they "learn that more with each Let's Play." You really can't write this shit, man.

Was a huge Inside Gaming fan back in the day and I watched more than my fair share of both Achievement Hunter and Funhaus too, just dropping my two cents.

Achievement Hunter is going to die a slow, painful death after this. There are too many people in Achievement Hunter that I do not believe could carry content by themselves/have no chemistry with anyone else in the group, and they will not admit that. You're gonna see more reshuffling, more new shows as they try to make this thing that won't work work. Michael'll probably get canceled for his older videos as the fanbase shrinks to exclusively, newer, younger fans, and as they delete old "controversial" content, and then who's left of the original group? Gavin? Jack? From what I've seen they have much worse chemistry with the new hires, but I doubt anyone watches the channel for them. Achievement Hunter shouldn't have made it this long though, honestly. I would've wagered 2-3 years ago that they'd collapse any moment. They're a couple bad months from operating at a loss.

Funhaus is dead. Of on camera talent you now have Elyse and James (who are a package deal), Alanah, and some of their editors who I can't be arsed to name. Alanah seems like a decent enough manager, and I came to like her onscreen presence over time. I do believe she will be able to find work outside of Funhaus, probably inside the gaming industry as PR or management- perhaps even on Twitch but I'm not sure it's something she'd do. I feel like Elyse and James would've spoken out at this point if they were uninvolved, which pains me to say as I quite liked them too. They ride pretty high horses off-screen (look at their Twitters, honestly) so I cannot even imagine how they approach this. The coming months should be interesting. Rahul, Bruce, and Lawerence are far enough removed to say something if they believe they are innocent in... whatever the fuck we're not seeing. There's gotta be something.

All things considered I feel like both Adam and Ryan gave measured responses. No handwaving, no bullshit. Just "I am leaving. I fucked up, you and me both know this". I do not know how they salvage their images, I do not really think it's possible. This is quite shocking to everyone I know who's seen their content. I would say I wish them the best, but I am absolutely devoid of any feeling towards their off-screen personas now. The gap is too fucking big between the person and the character.
 
Currently downloading every Demo Disk video, but the quality isn't great (480p)
Any other Funhaus vids people want archived?
Where are you archiving to? I'll give you a hand if you need, UL isn't great but not terrible. Pretty sure I have all the ones RT deleted on them just a month or two back as well.

Big mood, i can't help but that we're actively seeing the total decay of a company in real time. Reminds me of the time TGS became Maker which became Polaris which became fucking dead. It's only a matter of time until fullscreen also hits the wall quality wise.
 
Man it feels weird suddenly having a thread on some internet personalities I actually once gave a fuck about after browsing here for years seeing threads on a lot of others that I could never get into.

Glad I already have everything I liked from IG/FH/RT before I stopped watching them downloaded.

What's the over/under that Ryan was fired instead of resigning.

Even if RT pulled the trigger first I feel there's a pretty good chance Ryan would have voluntarily left soon. He was hired for an off mic/camera position and helped the original five AH crew with LAN/PC set up, and just happened to compliment them really well when he joined those first PC lets plays.

So he has talent outside of AH/RT and his wife is successful as well. Factor in his kids and he has a lot to lose by staying and not as much to lose by leaving.

This is like watching a live footage of a train wreck. I won't be surprised if we learn something equally disgusting about many more RT employees. But now that I've spend hours reading this thread, I'm ready to throw my phone away, shave my head and move to the mountains to look after baby goats.
