The Barney Bunch: Difference between revisions

Line 64:

That said, the year wasn't all doom and gloom, as there was a large surge of new community members including [[RoboticBloxxer]], Slim Pickles, CalciferBarney, and DuchessTheSponge to name a few. A handful of veterans would also return such as SavageBoy and BarneyBunchCompany, albeit brief. This year would also be one that the community took a big priority on saving past work so it would not be lost to time, mainly through the [[Internet Archive]] and [[Tracle]], the latter of which was considered a prime YouTube alternative up until a skirmish broke out between the Tracle and Speakonia communities in October, resulting in a site-wide ban of Barney Bunch content the following year. This would also be the year that events and collabs would make a return, notably [[Krypto Week]] to coincide with the release of ''DC League of SuperPets'', a week celebrating the Pube Muppet's 20th birthday, and a collab hosted by RoboticBloxxer to coincide with the year's Barney Bunch anniversary. 2022 proved to be so much of a significant year that, much like Alfardo did with 2016, IronYoshi would make a retrospective video covering the highs and lows the year had to offer.

=== Expansion Beyond YouTube and Ninth Generation (2023-present) ===

After the Eighth Generation ended on a sour note, it seemed like 2023 and the Ninth Generation would bring more of the same ~~if not worse~~. Tracle had initiated its aforementioned site-wide ban on Barney Bunch/Speakonia content, giving its members a deadline to remove their videos before the staff would do it themselves (though by that point the community had already jumped ship following the skirmish the past October). Fandom had begun purging any Wikis relating to the Barney Bunch, including the Speakonia Community Wiki. YouTube was still age-restricting both new and older uploads, with a CEO change seeming to not help matters. The community experienced the tragic loss of another veteran member with dildosdildo123, who passed away in April after a battle with cancer. Many of the key players who helped spearhead the Eighth Generation, including [[RoboticBloxxer]], ~~[[IronYoshi1212 Productions|~~IronYoshi]], and [[DrewPicklesTheDark]], had either became significantly less active or decided to retire for the time being. Despite this, the community still marched forward. The Tracle ban initiated a desire to seek out more alternatives, with [[Internet Archive]], Odysee, and Rumble being the top picks, as well as some members trying to station themselves on past sites like [[Dailymotion]] and ~~[[Newsgrounds]]~~ with little success. Some users would be [[The Speakonia Dark Age|ousted for allegations]] such as [[Sonulianic]] and [[SpaceVoyager1701]] being ousted for sexual allegations involving sexual harassment and grooming minors. Some members were ousted for terrible political opinions or drams such as BakaSurvior101 for beefing many users and believing death threats not an big deal and cam be ignored. Those in turn caused members such as [[Michael of Random]] to either stop doing Speakonka Videos or leave the community altogether.
