A little post of his from history: Message From King REoL.

Last time I checked on his Youtube channel, he was spending his time creating and uploading 2,698 videos of himself riding elevators and reviewing them, a fan favorite amongst the large group of people in The Elevator Community Wiki. However, I recently noticed he has expanded his content to include:


He even interacts with his viewers, letting them vote on where he should film himself bowling next! This is a particularly fetching video, as you get to see what the man, the legend looks like. It's basically what you would expect:



No real point to this thread, just wanted to treat the old school Goons to a "where are they now?" special. I do encourage all of you to check out his channel and be amazed by the excitement of utter banality. And remember to read the comments for each video, because no matter how inane the video is, there are huge fans who love to share their opinions of the topic in question, such as which company produces the best elevator floor buttons, and how peeved they get when the hydraulics are slower than they should be. The internet is truly a magical and wonderful place!

This is the long-running series, asking if the neglected elevators at the Major Taylor Garage (Worcester, Massachusetts), are finally fixed?
This shows the progress, or lack thereof, on their maintenance, or temporary "Band-Aids" applied.


Eight videos spanning two years concerning the most important of questions.

georgef551 is an elevator filmer from Leominster, Massachusetts, United States.

History

George Fiffy created his youtube channel "georgef551" in late March 2009. He filmed his first elevator video in June of that year.

He started shooting videos in standard definition but then started shooting in 720p HD in mid-2009. In early 2010 he started shooting videos with a Flip camcorder, and in 2011 he started using his Sony DSC-TX10.

In 2012, he got a Sony HDR-TD20V 3D camcorder. He only used it for a few videos; shortly after the warranty expired, he dropped the camcorder. Because of the damage from the drop and the bulkiness of the camera, he only uses it rarely for train/railfanning videos.

In 2013, he has started posting Minecraft videos more often than elevator videos. On June 1, 2013, he opened a private minecraft server that he helped build. Videos of him building various structures in the server can be found on his YouTube channel.

Also in 2013, he got a Sony DSC-TX30.

Trivia

He pioneered YouTube trends such as the man-powered elevator and calling the CEElectronics floor indicator "ACME". George was often corrected by other elevator enthusiasts when using "ACME" until TheElevatorChannel used the term in one of his videos.
He was a co-pioneer of the elevator derby along with CubsRule2040 in January 2010.
He also pioneered "Rockin' the Gauntlet" as a result of the 15 minute time limit being lifted from his account in December 2010. In those videos, he attempts to record all the elevators and escalators in a particular building or complex with no time limit.
He has filmed with balarick, but no other people.
He says epic fail as "E-P-I-C Fail" to The Price is Right losing horns

I heard that the admins inserted references to the taliban into the forums code so that he would freak out when he found them. Is that true or am I thinking of someone else/a different terrorist organization?

I think I would donate another ten dollars to these forums to have you type out, in as much detail as you are willing to provide, with sources; every crackpot, lunatic, whack-a-doo and neer-do-well you have had to suffer, because of an internet comedy forum.

We've all laughed at some of the horrendous poo poo you have shared with us. Complete the catharsis Richard. Vent to us.

Has anyone threatened trampling you with an elephant? I don't think I can imagine anything more ridiculous, and then I remember Poe's Law.

Fuck this
Everyone in the YouTube Elevator Community are equal and present the facts about the elevator you filmed. Despite some of the elevator photographer are famous in some countries, or the world. The characteristics of the elevator photographer are exactly same. Respect to every elevator photographer and any others to build up a positive way about this.


I hope you found this little lesson useful.

ISILDUR's ERR
two things:

when he started yelling (caps lock) SLATER in his old post, i absolutely read it everytime in the voice of Jack Slater's boss yelling at him in Last Action Hero

second thing:

he will probably be triggered by the memory of something awful, and never actually stop being insane enough to admit 'well at least my average youtube video view count went from 49 to 300'
