In the five, almost six years I've been going to YouChew, I've watched poop change quite a bit. The forums, too, have changed – the word “poop” was dropped from the name, after all, though there's still subforums dedicated to the medium – since my early days at the beginning of 2008. Lots of things happened, both related to poop and not: the ever-infamous War on AIDS, the departure of Conrad Slater and the rise of Rabbitsnore and TINS, the common style of poops changing through the years, so on and so forth. While I readily admit I don't know how YTPs are thought of by new members joining solely for the poop subforum, for those of us with a lot of time under our belts it's worth thinking back to how things used to be, both to appreciate how far we've come and to chide our past selves for things we may regret doing.
One of the things that I feel is often rather “overlooked”, so to speak, is the advent of flash poops and their original pioneers. Flash poops aren't a dime a dozen nowadays, but they're still rather common (and some of them are very, very good), and it's a little hard to imagine how much vitriol they received during the early days. Granted, the oldest flash poops were fairly crude endeavors in terms of production, but the small handful of poopers who made them paved the way for what they are today. There was one flash pooper in particular who I ended up heavily involved with (albeit in an indirect sense) and he's probably one of the better-documented of the bunch: a little account that was named Titleinlarge503.
Titleinlarge503, more colloquially known as Titleinlarge or TiL, started off as all of us did, a fresh-faced fellow who had made a couple simple poops at his outset. Specifically, he released a poop in 2007 (late that year, if I recall) called "Princess Spaghetti and the King's Revenge". It took a more story-centric approach than your typical '07 poop, but unlike, well, nearly any other poop at the time, Titleinlarge made liberal use of MS Paint and edited still shots to add the earliest kind of “flash poop” visuals to his work. The Princess Spaghetti videos spanned three parts, and thankfully reuploads of all three can be found archived on YouTube.
Princess Spaghetti in-and-of-itself isn't the best example of what Titleinlarge was really known for (they were his first pieces of work, after all), but just watching the first part for a bit gives you a good idea of why Titleinlarge was so controversial in 2007. Truly edited frames only show up briefly (the King barfing into his goblet, and the shot of Link frowning instead of smiling), but part 2 takes things further very quickly, with Zelda throwing a mirror into the King's face, the King getting Pikachu cheeks, Mario pointing up the pipe, and so on and so forth. Perhaps the most famous bit of the Princess Spaghetti videos is the very flashy Pokemon battle in part 3 which relies entirely on edited images strung together. Despite not actually being flash, someone coined the term flash poop, and the moniker stuck.
Calling this process “unprecedented” might sound like an exaggeration, but it's the best way I can describe it; before Princess Spaghetti, I'm not sure the term “flash poop” even existed, much less found itself dropped into the limelight. Even now, on the reuploaded videos, you can find commenters from four or five years ago happy as clams about this sort of thing. Does it look crude now? Certainly. And it probably looked pretty unpolished then too, but it was new and unique, despite the fact that it used sources deemed as overused in 2007. Titleinlarge's videos inspired a slew of new flash poops made by people wanting to try their hand at this new genre, and so flash pooping got its start.
It was around this time that I joined YouChew, and I quite clearly recall the forums being decidedly unenthusiastic about this new, flash poop thing that the kiddos on YouTube were getting up in arms about. Keep in mind that this was smack-dab in the middle of the War on AIDS era. Titleinlarge found himself propelled into popularity in both senses of the term – his videos were praised by many people, but just as many people were also critical of the encroaching style (or, to put it bluntly, he was blindly praised and blindly flamed). YouChew, of course, was one of his greatest detractors to an almost comical degree. I kid you not, when I posted a comment on his channel telling him to ignore the forums and do what he wanted to, said comment was screencapped and posted as a thread titled “we have a traitor in our midst”.
As time in the new year of 2008 passed, Titleinlarge decided to make a new flash poop series, inspired by a friend of his named link123456, who had busied himself created the "God Luigi" videos (and since the two were friends, fans of Titleinlarge also became fans of link123456 and vice versa). God Luigi had upped the ante in terms of early flash pooping, forgoing the crude paint programs and instead using aftereffects software, and Titleinlarge procured the same (or at least a similar) software that link123456 used. However, instead of Luigi, Titleinlarge used a character that was just starting to get popular, a character so young that his use hadn't been targeted by actual companies at that point. And so, "God Rabbit" was born.
God Rabbit was notably shorter than the Princess Spaghetti videos; the latter being about twenty minutes, while the former only seven. However, thanks to the far better equipment at his disposal, Titleinlarge made up for this by going over-the-top with his work, mixing both frames edited in paint programs along with aftereffects and sentence-mixing. What little animation there was generally became more fluid and flashy, with an insulted doctor blowing Carmen's face clean off and then flying to Asia, his balloon kicking up a small explosion and smoke as it lands. What made this so exciting for people, Titleinlarge's popularity aside, was the fact that the aftereffects looked more "professional" than other videos. It was far more exciting to see a high-tech explosion and smoke effect instead of something that anyone could easily cook up in MS Paint. This became Titleinlarge's signature style for the rest of his time online.
God Rabbit became extremely popular, eclipsing even its inspiration, and once again Titleinlarge found himself deciding to make more of these God Rabbit videos. He made a second one soon after the first, and began to work on a third one before his account suddenly closed. The apparent explanation is that he closed his account himself, due to the fact that his aftereffects software started to not work properly in the middle of making the video. In hindsight, it makes me wonder if Titleinlarge was making the videos because they were fun to make, or if he was making the videos because they made him popular (and thus not making videos would make him not-popular or somesuch). Either way, his account was closed, his fans went into an uproar, and eventually one particular fan would make his own "God Rabbit Part 3" and close off the saga.
Of course, this wasn't the true end of Titleinlarge, as any forum veteran could probably tell you if you jogged their memory. In fact, I'd say that his videos were small fry compared to what would happen next.
Titleinlarge eventually fixed his aftereffects software and reappeared with a new account. With God Rabbit having been unofficially finished in his absence, he set to work on another new and ambitious project: "Super Smash Bros Dimensions", a Super Smash Bros. game themed mainly around YouTube Poop. Alongside uploading mock-up videos to his new YouTube channel, Titleinlarge also uploaded images of characters and such to his DeviantART account, mimicking the visual style of the Smash Bros Dojo that was receiving updates on Brawl around the same time. Like all the rest of his work, it was met with both hype and criticism.
Things started off fairly innocuous, showing off movesets, revealing characters like Fat Mario, Link and Mama Luigi, the things you'd expect. A couple characters were met with raised eyebrows, such as ElboTheHedgehog (an infamous “poop thief” with a recolored Shadow as his avatar) and Klonoa (who had nothing to do with poop in the slightest), but overall things progressed. It was with a couple later updates that things started to fall apart, with the reveal of three new characters in particular: Lopunny, Renamon, and an original character of Titleinlarge's named Wint.

I've drawn what I remember Wint looking like. Maybe he was originally used to test animation? Either way, Titleinlarge announced him as a legitimate contender.
While Titleinlarge's fans were generally indifferent to the new additions, the forums I can say from personal experience were utterly flabbergasted, irritated and amused. The main issue came down to the fact that the game was being billed as a YTP Smash Bros, and Titleinlarge himself had stated that early on in his work. Even ignoring the various 2007-2008 calls of “FURFAGGOTRY ARGH ARHGHAGH” in regards to Lopunny and Renamon, what exactly did these characters have to do with YTP? The reason was clear that they, and Wint, were added only because Titleinlarge wanted them in (something Titleinlarge also eventually admitted). The forums, in a grumpy, War-on-AIDS-induced haze, organized themselves and began a raid on Titleinlarge's accounts.
I remember quite a bit of the raid. It spanned both Titleinlarge's YouTube account and his DeviantART account, focused on flaming and spamming him as much as possible – it was a brute-force strategy, but effective nonetheless. Titleinlarge's fans did defend him, but it was mostly pointless and scattered. Titleinlarge was somewhat aware of what was happening, but pushed forwards regardless, releasing another update, an image that was described as a scene from the planned story mode of the game. It was a picture of Wint and Lopunny sitting together on a log in a generic, full-moon romantic setting. You can imagine how this added fuel to the raid fire.
Of course, YouChew had been the prime suspect of most people as to who was perpetrating the raid on Titleinlarge, but the forum members managed to shift the blame from them onto the vague target of “the Naruto Forums” through the most effortless deflection possible: insisting that it was true. Eventually the raiding grew rampant enough that Titleinlarge found his enthusiasm tremendously dampened, to the point where his parents apparently noticed, according to a real-life friend of his who commented on his DeviantART account after it was all over.
Upon hearing about what was going on, Titleinlarge's parents ended up having him close his YouTube account and wipe his DeviantART clean of any and all images and journals, and with that, Titleinlarge vanished from the internet once again, this time for good. His fans went into a frenzy, the forums returned to relative normalcy, and that was that. Coincidentally, or perhaps through some strange form of fate, Titleinlarge's permanent departure came around the same time as the appearance of a new flash pooper named IAmTheGang, one who focused on paint programs and basic frame-by-frame animation instead of aftereffects...

This salvaged mockup screenshot on the Chewiki is quite possibly the only surviving image of the planned game proper.
I don't think anyone who participated is proud of the raid on Titleinlarge. I'm certainly not – and looking at the surviving raid comments (mine and others) in the comments section of his DeviantART account makes me cringe. In hindsight, though, I don't think the situation would have ended any other way anyway. It's been said by multiple people, myself included, but ultimately "Super Smash Bros. Dimensions" was far too large of a project for Titleinlarge to take on alone in his spare time. Even if YouChew hadn't raided his accounts, the pressure of working on such an ambitious game would have caused him to crack sooner or later.
Nowadays, Titleinlarge isn't exactly well-known. Because he left so many years ago, his mark on history is fairly obscured, his name eclipsed by better-known flash poopers, just like his God Rabbit eclipsed his friend's God Luigi. The people who do remember him are the ones who were around at the same time TiL was, those who saw the original uploads of his work, and those who liked or disliked him. He appeared and flared up in popularity, only to burn out just as soon as he'd arrived.
Despite being one of the pioneers of flash poops, Titleinlarge left so early that he became forgotten among the people who continued to make flash poops and push that avenue forward. His work, while very amateur and basic, was the first step towards a new style of poop that's liked and respected nowadays. He may have disappeared outright, but his concepts survived, and for that, he earned his place in pooping history, no matter how small it may have turned out to be.
