Why are Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil included on the same thread?

Because Dan and Phil are together - whether they are together platonically, romantically, sexually- we don't know for certain. But we do know that they live together, work together (on collabs, radio show, hosting gigs, etc.) socialise together and travel together and so it only seems fitting to include them together here.

How did Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhil knew each other?

AmazingPhil was already quite a "known British youtuber" and Dan Howell started to comment on Phil Lester tweets since 2009 and AmazingPhil youtube comments since 2009. Phil reciprocated by replying to Dan's tweets and their "friendship" began. They also became Facebook friends in 2009.

When did Danisnotonfire and AmazingPhii first met?

Dan took a train from Reading to Manchester on 19th October 2009 and stay over at Phil's parents and left on 21st October 2009; this was the time they filmed their first colab video PhilIsNotOnFire. This was a start to more Dan's visits to meet Phil in Manchester until he moved there in 2010 to start his Law degree in Manchester University.

Since when were they housemates?

Dan moved to Manchester on 17 September 2010 but only moved in together with Phil on 10th August 2011. They then moved together to London on 23rd July 2012.

Oops sorry I meant to write 2009 as Dan activated his tweeter on 14 May 2009 ; I have no idea when Phil responded to Dan on youtube but on tweeter Phil first responded on 2 June 2009.

Can you edit my posting???

done.
idk when phil started replying on youtube either. i just know dan was already commenting on videos on february 2009, which means, it's likely he was already doing so in late 2008, but there's no way of knowing that.
and i believe they became fb friends on june 2009(1st of june, i think. i know it was close to dan's bday)

This link doesn't seem to work any longer.

We should probably write our own explanation of the video anyway, since "What is the V-day video?" is definitely FAQ material.

Other FAQ I can think of off the top of my head:
- Are Dan and Phil dating?
- What about their sexualities?
- Clothes sharing
- Working for the BBC + difference between the Sunday and Monday shows
- What happened with Dan's brother, Adrian?
- What do people mean by Dan's "no homo phase"?
- Who is charlieskies?
- Who is Stephen?

^ this is also a comprehensive analysis that goes into hand writing comparisons, etc.

http://lavitaricca.tumblr.com/post/9324 ... deo-debate

she doesn't present it with any bias, just counter arguments to some common ones. (though the logic is pretty thorough, i don't know how many manage to stay in the not-real camp after doing enough thinking)

also should a link or mention of the radio show be put somewhere? know it's a bit difficult when they're not all archived somewhere, but 2 years of content and there's a little over half of the shows uploaded to youtube (i think, that i've managed to find) as well as other bbc content.

Hey is this thread dead or what --

maybe it's redundant by this point, but for all the completely clueless ppl, the http://phandirectorylinks.tumblr.com/list is a great starting point

other FAQs:

Q: I keep seeing [x] mentioned, and I have no idea what it is!

A: ambiguity => rehashing old arguments, creating bingo cards of frequent keywords or topics that keep popping up, such as the Voldemort/Voldy video (the video that shall not be named), their sexualities, their relationship, who bottoms/tops, past girlfriends/relationships, Dan's relationship with his family, their income/family's income, their management, their opinions, their personas vs real personalities, Kanye stanning, borderline-racism(?) culturally insensitive remarks, their gayming channel, their dumbed-down liveshows, Dan's nakedbooths and deleted tweets, Dan and Phil's femininity/masculinity, 2012, the bour (book/tour), ben cook/charlieskies/evan edinger/emma blackery drama, tumblr fans/twitter fans, glass closet, Dan's expensive fashion choices, Phil's glasses and legs, "phagnostics" (agnostics of belief in Phan). (plz add if I'm missing something) You can search more on these topics on this forum, or on the phandirectory

I almost feel bad attempting to answer these since I don't have the vast database of phan knowledge at my fingertips like some do :( ahem, so I can only answer generically.

1. some time ago we voted, and most people on this forum seem to think so: relationship status poll, but there is no conclusive evidence either way, as of now

2. we also voted on that (we're fond of polls), and here are the results: Dan's results; Phil's results, but again, they've pretty much avoided directly addressing that for the last few years. Also check out the D&P attraction thread on this forum

3. (sorry I can't provide images), but yes they share/d clothes, and dan denied it, saying that he only sometimes borrowed something of phil's to wear if he needed it for a particular video, but specifically the sonic underpants dan wore in the pancake video (which phil showed in a now-deleted ?or just privated idk video) is what people regard as phan proof, since it was something phil bought while on vacation in florida, but later dan said that they both bought the same underpants independently since they both liked them, except that phil got rid of his since they were too small for him) and blue-and-white music note underpants (sry don't remember the context).

4. sry I'm clueless about this since I don't watch their radio shows

5. people (fans of dan) were stalking him on social media and dan got angry at them; search for screenshots. then there was another thing about someone pretending to be him and saying that he didn't like dan?

6. informally the no homo phase was 2012-early 2013 (after the v-day video resurfaced), when dan said things like he and phil aren't a double act and he and phil aren't joined at the hip, and dan's subscriber count exploded (surpassing phil's) with all the new fans adopting his mentality and self-policing the phandom, and dan wanted to be his own person/successful without phil, and frequently implied he was straight, and some think there was an air of overall tension between them, and their fans

6. ex-friend of phil and dan from the old circle of british youtubers, also is a youtuber, search for more info

7. stephen byrne, friend of phil and dan, youtuber, used to date charlieskies, currently working for RTE, also was known as 3sixty5days
