===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.
