Hoo boy, hearing what Jean wario really rocked me to my core. I hope Blockbuster Buster gets the hell out of CA since he’s one of my favorite producers on that site.

Guru Larry mentioned on Twitter that Linkara said he along with Brad Jones have left.

On another note - Sage has apparently been confirmed to leave during a stream Marzgurl was doing.

And since his name is no longer there, thus leaving the Comics & Anime section empty.....well there ya go. Confirmed officially with not even a word from him. Not that I blame him.

I think Larry is only staying because he finds the irony that someone no one knew was on the site is the last person there to be funny

He's been tweeting pretty much since last night that he's only staying for lulz.

Gotta give him credit, he and his fans brought much needed levity with this whole royal rumble thing. Everything's been such a horrifying shitshow over the past few nights so it was nice to have Larry genuinely having fun with the irony that when CA goes under, he'll be the last one there.

And it seems like the CA forums are offline too.

The first smart thing they did amidst this whole thing.

Right? What the fuck was happening in its final days? On one hand you have some drunk lunatic threatening to dox Mike Michaud and threaten to kill a user for being "too sjw", and on the other hand you have this sociopathic piece of human fecal matter spamming pictures of gore and porn. Just really fucked up. I guess all the moderators jumped ship LOL.

There was an imposter Mike Michaud troll that I found to be amusing, though. Wish I screenshotted those posts.

The full context of the how the JewWario reveal happened is blowing me away actually. Those screenshots in the "Our Response" post they made outing him with their sloppy editing and the dates they left in is shockingly incompetent if their plan was to keep his name hidden. Although, Fredrik Knudsen thinks they might have done it on purpose.

So the construction behind that particular part of the post was either them being really, really sloppy or really, really douchey.

Or both. Actually, it's both.

I don't think they intentionally leaked out Justin's name.  Or if they did, they were stupid enough to think that it would pass the blame onto someone else when the chat logs still show they were aware of his behavior and still hesitated to take action, thus showing them as equally complicit.

I'm really hoping Fredrik does a down the rabbit hole video on channel awesome. Hell, make it a series. His videos are absolutely enthralling in the subjects that are covered, and his Spoony video was no exception.

He confirmed that he will. Just when all this blows over and the fire dies down.

Awesome. I'm watching his newest livestream right now.

Is anyone else getting really pissed off by the people defending Doug and the company; trying to downplay the faults of them? I had to unsubscribe from a youtube channel I followed because it reeked of sucking up to Doug Walker because of their blatant fanboyism. Very disgusting behavior.

Read a comment thread on Twitter recently that said that the former contributors are just doing it to get attention and are all conspiring against CA.

I mean, look, not every complaint in that document is valid (and full disclosure: it says in the opening statement that not all of them are supposed to be), but it must be one hell of a conspiracy if every. single. person. working for you decides to leave.

Watching this video really broke my heart. But at least he’s finally away from this raging dumpster fire so I hope the future is bright for him.

Welp, that's something I missed.

That said - new info. According to Larry, the fifth shareholder of CA is supposedly not Brad but Doug's father, although I'm not sure if it's true or not.

Huh , I feel like I've heard that info well before this whole debacle too. Wouldn't surprise me.

This channel is definitely dead now like holy shit, Lupa is probably rolling in laughter over how she got the ball rolling on CA's demise. They were already trickling users before but now it's a full blown torrent and now fucking no one is left. This site is fucking done

Channel Awesome's reddit page has been quite busy lately. More than it's been in a while.
