I'm glad our efforts weren't in vain. If the state of the Speakonia Community is comparable that of 2007-2008, it's well and truly alive. That's why I made that video urging everyone to keep the ball rolling.

By the way, remember the Barney Bunch Weekly Contest you launched? It made it to about week 45 (I think) before nobody nobody called it quits. It lasted seven weeks short of an entire year, even as the community was going downhill. I am amazed it did that.

I understand. Last year was quite the year for me due to family matters (estranged grandmother died) and panic attacks out of fucking nowhere. Now the former is settled, the latter seems to have settled as well.

I know you already know about the wiki (your profile lol), well Skewt (He is indeed SignussEcksTwo) and I have been working on it for the past few months aside from posting shit to VidLii (which I'm flattered was an incentive for you to return).

thus bringing us all together more, and two, it resembles classic YouTube which makes it really feel like a clean slate like how it must have been for StrawberryBarney in 2006. I'm probably rambling on here, I don't know, but welcome back to the Barney Bunch. Your return was unexpected, but more than that, needed and wanted.

like back in the summer of good ol' 2016. It just felt like there was nothing going on. In fact, Skewt said it best in his retirement video, he likened it to some guy sitting in the middle of buttfuck nowhere poking stuff with a stick because he can't think of anything else to do.

Couple that with the terminations of Tomservo3 and Prime8NStuff and the Barney Bunch just seemed absolutely dead. Until now...VidLii is, in my opinion, a perfect place to take this Barney Bunch. One, it's smaller 3/4

Skewt and I have been doing our Barney Bunch business on VidLii for the past few months and we've found that many users old and new (including you haha) are following suit, which is making me highly optimistic about the direction of the Barney Bunch.

Long after you left my good man, the downward spiral we collectively witnessed had no signs of stopping. Yes, there was BB content being made, but a lot of it was decentralized and scattered, there was no collective unity holding it together 2/3

Welcome back to the fucking Barney Bunch community my good man! As you see, we've been trying to get the community out of the rut it's been in for the past 2-3 years, ever since the downward spiral.

I actually retired in 2018, but I was bored one day in March this year and I pulled up some of Wiggles videos and it gave me an incentive to jump right back in. A few months in I realized that the Barney Bunch may not be exactly compatible with YouTube any longer. 1/3

A wise man once said, be careful what you wish for...
