Eventually, several more members began to migrate to Tracle, with people from the community reuploading older content alongside a mix of new material as well. Reception from the primary Tracle community was originally mixed to mostly negative, with some expressing disdain towards the flood of Speakonia content on the front page and fearing this might drive potential new users off the site due to the intentionally crude, vulgar, and shock value nature of the Barney Bunch videos, though a select few would hop on the bandwagon. Two users and members of popular Tracle channel Marble Studios Network, ZetaPrime77 and TheBucketCat, were extremely vocal about the Barney Bunch and the Speakonia Community's presence as a whole on Tracle, even releasing two videos respectively discussing it and expressing their disapproval for the BB videos on the Tracle Discord server. Many members of the Speakonia community seem to brush off the Tracle community's concerns as little more than overreacting. By late August, as activity had greatly slowed down, RoboticBloxxer was forced to remove a handful of reuploads from other BB members, as requested by the Tracle mods due to the fact he didn't necessarily ask the creators of said videos to publish them (save for the ones inactive or in the case of Blood, unfortunately dead), and proceeded to move them to the [[Internet Archive]].

Things would take a negative turn in late October, as Tracle updated its TOS regarding videos with sexual content (no doubt a response to the Speakonia Community's activities), resulting in many videos being removed and several community member receiving strikes, some were even banned. Many members of the community did not take this news well, with IronYoshi ceasing uploads to the site as a form of protest. On October 29, [[StraightFusion]] would make "[[Drew Pickles goes to Tracle]]", a 40+ minute long video, as sort of a form of revenge trolling for their distain to the Barney Bunch, for striking and banning users, and the the videos complaining about them. However, this became negatively received on the site and its Discord server, with many non-BB Tracle users criticizing it particularly for the mean-spirited portrayal of Tracle personality and site mod Nathan Boehm, who was still underage at the time of the video's release (not to mention the aforementioned videos by Zeta and BucketCat), as well as making the BB community on Tracle look butthurt and sensitive, ironically more so than they were painting the Tracle community as.

This, combined with the already building tension/lack of communication between the two communities, RoboticBloxxer's strange behavior on the Discord server, and the questions arising about his involvement with the Goes To Tracle video, caused the ban of a lot of the main BB users including Bloxxer, DharMannFan69, and Slim Pickles from the Tracle Discord on October 30th, as well as TheBucketCat and Zeta making responses to StraightFusion's video and his Tracle account was banned later on in the day by the staff. IronYoshi would break his no-upload protest from Tracle to upload a video condemning both sides on their handling of the situation. This, alongside one of the Tracle mods entering and mocking the Speakonia Community in their Discord server after finding a link to it in one of the videos on the site, would spark more fuel to the fire of tensions between the Speakonia members on Tracle and the primary Tracle community. Ultimately, the drama soon died down after IronYoshi and Nathan would reach a calm, peaceful agreement, with IronYoshi announcing that he would retire from Tracle and convince the community to move on from the site without any ill-will, and it would seem that this would bring an end to the community's time on Tracle.
