Vince gets made fun of alot, sometimes deserved, sometimes not.
Thing is no matter what you think of VVV, whether you, love, hate, etc or he goves you a variety of thoughts towards the man any one with an IQ cannot deny that this man gets up every morning, goes to work and does what he needs to do for basic needs. The rest of the stuff with the business exploits, whether he fails repeatedly or one day succeeds beyond his wildest dreams does not matter to me as he already has my respect and admiration for trying, which even myself at times can admit to failing at in difficult times years prior.
Is he a mover and shaker? I think he is, as pretty much anyone who runs in this industry knows of VVV. That stuff he keeps re-quoting towards Shizzo is true. I have known Vince and of him since Circa 2000-01 on these boards and he has always made me think of what I would like to do and not do.
I am not his friend in real life, and was even an opponent of his exploits back about 12 years ago, and I get involved in the joking, but all in all I consider Vince some kind of online buddy in a way I think of most here, in that you guys inform, entertain, and piss me off, sometimes all at once.
I even don't actually hate anyone here for that matter even if it comes across that way sometimes.
So yeah, vince is important because he always keep people interested in his latest shenanigans, whether you like him or hate him, you know its true
