===The Big Move and Second Generation (April 2006-2009)===

By 2006, the Barney Bunch was declared "DEAD FOREVER" for the first time in its 19 year history following their ban from Newgrounds. However, StrawberryBarney did some scouting on a small Silicon Valley startup known as [[YouTube|YouTube.com]], where on April 20 he uploaded the very flash he submitted to Newgrounds the prior year, Drew Pickles is REALLY REALLY Gay!, and helped the Barney Bunch, and in a way the entirety of the Speakonia Community, establish themselves on the site. Newgrounds veterans such as L and SovietBarney, as well as several others, soon began uploading their content to YouTube, and several of them can still be seen today but, unfortunately, most of them are now considered lost. A handful of members would establish themselves on the site [[YTMND]], posting various sites in the style of what was on Newgrounds. This new wave of Barney Bunch video-makers was retroactively dubbed as the "Second Generation", with those who originated on Newgrounds being the "First Generation".

2007/2008 saw the first known [[Barney Bunch Collabs|BB collab]] on YouTube: in which, just like YouTube Poop collabs, a user announces a video collab, and other users send in entries and then that user combines them all into one big video. Several of these existed prior on Newgrounds. This first YouTube collab was courtesy of MrBadBarney, although this has been taken down. According to Skewt, [[Blood]], soon to be an icon in the community, was a known participant of this collab. Many other users such as [[Sammyt3hSnake]] were also active around this time, and while he was close to the main Barney Bunch on YouTube, he broke off into doing his own unique videos. Other users who emerged at this time included [[BooNube]] and PanicPagoda, the latter of whom made more experimental videos. This would also be the time that the popular [[Drew Pickles Goes To]] videos were introduced, and quickly became a hit for the community and the default video style for years to come. The [[Pube Muppet]], a character created by Drunkmagikoopa on Newgrounds, was also adopted into the community and turned into a rival for the fictional Barney Bunch.

=== Ninth Generation (2025-) ===

2025 would bring forth the Ninth Generation of Barney Bunch creators. Following the disastrous end to the Eighth Generation, the community would enter another quiet period. A handful of veterans from the pervious generation who had not been seen for some time ~~would start producing new videos, albeit sparingly~~, in addition to creators who emerged towards its end like Primus Alt and PansexuallySwellCopter. The Barney Bunch's 20th anniversary is also ~~this year~~, ~~so time will tell if~~ the ~~community has any plans to celebrate this~~ milestone.

2025 would bring forth the Ninth Generation of Barney Bunch creators. Following the disastrous end to the Eighth Generation, the community would enter another quiet period. A handful of veterans from the pervious generation who had not been seen for some time returned, in addition to creators who emerged towards its end like Primus Alt and PansexuallySwellCopter. The Barney Bunch's 20th anniversary also took place, with several videos being made to commemorate the milestone.

== Future ==

As of today, the Barney Bunch remains mostly on and off as far as activity goes. The main Discord server has disabled invites (though the Speakonia Community one is ~~still~~ active), and activity on VidLii has decreased significantly ~~save for a few key members like ToiletPranker and DrewPicklesTheDark joining~~. So if you happen to be browsing YouTube and you come across some videos of a bunch of children show characters and mascots with funny robotic voices talking about their homosexuality, you can stop and appreciate it, because there'll Never Ever be another online community like it.
