=== Birth of the Speakonia Community (2010-2015) ===

By the turn of the new decade, the Barney Bunch went from a small startup community on YouTube to a full collective community of users, being very different than how it was on Newgrounds. Many of the old guard that pioneered on the site had either retired, become inactive, had their channels suspended, or felt dissatisfied with the direction the group was heading, leaving room for newer creators to pitch in with ideas. Content remained largely the same, with Drew Pickles Goes To, [[Secret Missing Episodes]], and [[Generic Gets Owned]] being the driving force, though there were some notable off set videos uploaded, with one of the most popular being [[Drew Pickles Talks 'Bout Closing Logos]], as well as the [[Speakonia Dubs|Speakonia gag dubs]] of ''Rugrats'' episodes being made by [[bigboyrats]]. Despite minor skirmishes with with anti-Barney Bunch trolls, all seemed well within the community. But things were about to take a dramatic turn.

During 2011, conflict began to arise between users regarding what was "established" within the Barney Bunch and what was not. The end result was the [[The Unestablished War|Unestablished War]], which split the community into two factions, [[OldSchoolSwellness]] and [[SwellDrewTube]], and a massive in-fight within the community broke out. The end result left the community fractioned more than it already was, and while it did introduce several new characters and ideas like [[Yogi Bear]] and the [[The Humongous Bunch|Humongous Bunch]], the damage was already done. Also at this time was the formation of the first off-branch of the community known as the [[The Foot Fetish Community|Foot Fetish Community]], who approached the same content as the main community with more effort.
