**Augustus Marks**, also known by his online persona **AugieRFC**, is an American commentator, streamer, and podcaster on Youtube. He is the host of the After Hours, Hooked Podcast, and many other failed live shows. Augie's presence on the internet has caused many controversies, leading him to make a lot of enemies online, even causing him to be banned from livestreaming multiple times.

## History

### Background

Before being known as AugieRFC, he originally started a channel on July 10th 2016, under the alias of **RedFoxComms**. He primarily started uploading gaming videos during his early years, starting up many failed podcasts along the way. It was not until he made his video on H3H3 Productions that he started doing more commentary videos.

Around 2018, an old friend of Augie's named Wesley would bot RedFoxComms' subscribers due to Augie refusing to sing Nugget in a Biscuit on stream when Wesley asked him too. Augie fortunately didn't get terminated from this accident, however his sub count fell for a short period due to the Sub Bots unsubscribing from the channel.

On August 23rd 2018, Augie created the channel known today as AugieRFC, to archive all the twitch streams he had been doing, he eventually switched focus to that channel as it was gaining more viewership than RedFoxComms.

    On December 20th 2019, he would upload a video on his channel discussing a livestream which contained footage of a mother abusing their child live on twitch. This video is titled "child abuse live on twitch" and has become Augie's most popular video on his channel.

During the H3 Drama on September 13th 2020, AugieRFC got banned from livestreaming and had to primarily go to Twitch, this has been theorized to be Britbong trying to deplatform and cripple his channel. Fortunately on September 19th AugieRFC got his ability to livestream back.

On December 8th 2020, AugieRFC got banned from livestreaming for 90 days because of a copyright strike on a song Augie played on one of his streams. Fortunately the ban was cut short and he got his ability to livestream back on December 29th 2020, right before New Years.

### Debate with Def Noodles

On January 11th 2021, AugieRFC announced that he would be debating Def Noodles. On January 14th 2021 he released the debate where in it Def Noodles pull up multiple tweets to prove how Augie is a fascist. However Augie counteracted this by saying that these statements were just edgy jokes and he is not a fascist, he just has a dark sense of humour.

On April 24th 2021, AugieRFC got banned from livestreaming for 90 days because of a false copyright strike on an old After Hours episode that showcased Shadbases art pieces. The false flagger is theorized to be Britbong pretending to be another streamer named ShanaFlames. Fortunately on April 29th 2021 he got his ability to stream back, and his strikes from the stream have been removed.

### Mishap with John Swan

On February 15th 2021, John Swan had made a post criticizing Dream which caused him to respond with allegations of trolling. While John got a lot of pushback especially by Dream's community he also got some support from the commentary community like Augie, Nicholas DeOrio, and Bowblax. Augie had made two streams surrounding the drama where he defended John and tried to back up his discord messages, eventually though on February 28th 2021 it was revealed that John had lied to everyone which caused Augie's and the rest of the community's trust in him to break. Augie was extremely pissed by this and distanced himself from John, however he eventually became acquainted with him again when he came back.

### Raiding the EDP Stream

On April 2021, EDP had faced another set of allegations however this time it didn't pass by the audience. When Augie covered this on stream he decided to watch the stream exposing EDP, however he unintentionally caused his fans to raid the stream with some very weird donations. In the end around 10k+ viewers saw some weird donations from Augie's fans and his EDP stream became one of the most viewed After Hours he has had.

### Feud with Ethan Ralph

On May 30th 2021, Ralph had been called out for flagging and taking down one person that was clipping his streams. When Augie criticized Ralph for doing this he got super aggressive and had a twitter meltdown about him. Eventually, when Augie made a stream on this he started to meltdown even harder and when he showed up in the stream to debate Augie he just ranted for a minute and left. This event caused Ralph to distance himself from Augie and insult him with any chance he gets, while the drama would eventually die down the feud would last a lot longer.

On September 26th 2021, Augie posted a video of him making fun of Ralph shitting himself on stream. While this video isn't that popular it caused Ralph to have another meltdown on twitter and it has become one of Augie's most iconic videos.

On January 24th 2021, Augie had created a documentary criticizing Ralph on the F Ralph Festival. Two days later he posted this video on his own channel. This video covered all of the meltdowns that Ralph had on Augie, this all culminated on an After Hours featuring Flamenco, Nick, Tipster, and Bowblax where they completely eviscerated him.

### Feud with Technicals

On November 16th 2021, Technicals posted a video defending ZeRo and covering his allegations. Later that day, Augie had booted up a stream criticizing Tech's video which led to a debate with Tech. While the debate did get heated at times everyone had left the stream on a good terms, for now.

Sometime in late November, Technicals got into an argument with Nick on twitter regarding the allegations. The debate lasted for days and got so heated that it left both Tech, Nick, and eventually Augie on bad terms, all of this culminated on an After Hours in which Augie not only defended himself and his friends but also criticized Tech's video even more harshly but also criticize him for his past. Nick also had a heated argument with Flamenco which led to him calling Nick a slur.

A day later, Keemstar hosted a debate between Augie and Tech where they talked about their criticisms and Tech's past surrounding his brother. In this debate Tech also brought up the case of Zaptie which led Augie and Nick to heavily criticize him for bringing up the situation where it didn't made sense.

A few weeks later, John Swan dropped his video on Tech where John criticized Tech's way of handling the drama, Tech's video, and the situation surrounding his brother. Augie booted up a stream where he praised the video and endorsed it along with Nick on twitter.

On January 28th 2022, Tech finally uploaded his response to all the drama that was happening for the past few months. A day later Augie responded to the video on a stream where he carefully criticized the points Tech was making and defended himself. Tensions got even more heated on twitter, where the two continuously fought on with both their fanbases.

On February 10th 2022, Keemstar hosted a private meeting with Augie, Tech, Nick, and Tipster where they addressed their criticisms. Somehow, Keemstar got them to finally stop fighting and forced them to sign a peace treaty between them and their fanbases. While Tech hasn't fully finished with his criticisms he is on equal terms with Augie, Nick, and Tipster.
