The First Anniversary of the Youtube Poop Forum
On this day one year ago, former site administrator Conrad Slater opened up the original Youtube Poop Forum, not knowing anything about the poop community outside of the small amount he had researched before opening youtubepoop.com. Soon he invited prominent poopers from Youtube to the site, to join in discussion. There was no inkling of the close-knit connections that would be formed in the coming months.
Over the past twelve months, members of the forum have come and gone, edrama has erupted and settled, we’ve laughed, we’ve cried, memes have been born and died, video trends have been shaped, and friendships have been forged. Today, we celebrate the creation of one of our favorite – if not our favorite – havens on the internet.
First and foremost, we thank Mr. Conrad Slater for his tireless working on the site, his monetary support of it, his attempts to make it a better place, and his desire to have everyone just get along. Though he was frequently admonished and berated, this site would not exist without him, and for that, we should all be grateful beyond measure.
The forum has given us the opportunity to join each other as a community, and without Mr. Slater, there would be no unity, no friendships, no chance for any of the fun, terrible, maddening, saddening, and laughable times we have had in this place we call YouChew Poop.
It means [a lot] to me as a community…. It’s the best internet experience I’ve ever had. – Misselaineous10
It is my hope, as one of the current forum administrators, that today sees a renewed spirit in the members of the community. I’d love to see us put our animosity aside – especially any animosity left towards Conrad - and just have a great time, as I’ve seen we can. – RabbitSnore
WHY, YES. I BELIEVE GOVERNOR DEWEY WILL HANDILY DEFEAT PRESIDENT TRUMAN, MY GOOD MAN. *flicks cigar* - Thereisnospoon303
To celebrate the past twelve months and hopefully many more months to come, a four-day long festival will take place on the forum.
This day also sees the resurrection of two community favorites, for at least a month.
The first of these is the Chewiki, the site’s purported information library. This part of the site has been on- and off-line as a result of technical and content needs, and it is finally back for however long or short, with the hope that it will be put to good use, for laughs as hell as posting helpful information. As before, a link to the Chewiki is provided in the header of the news page.
The second of these is a readable restoration of the old Vanilla-powered forum. Many of the image files have been lost, however the memories of the old glory days of the beginnings of the community. A link to this Archive is provided in the header of the news page as well.
YouChewPoop means an incredible amount to me. It has the best community in the world. Everybody there is wonderful in their own way, whether it be in kindness or in blind satire. They’re all here for one purpose…making videos…but it seems we’ve all done something more important in the process…made tons of friends and memories we’ll never forget.- Dopply
Have fun. And long live YouChew Poop.

Rules or guidelines don’t make a community, but rather the people do. I’m glad I am able to hang out with some of the most thoughtful, off-the-wall, and friendly people as I have seen on the internet. We ARE youtube poop.
Thank you, YCP, and admins, past and present, for allowing me to sate my thirst for lulz and intrawebz discussions. I hope to continue this relationship.

I lied, I craughed.
I honestly love this community. It’s been my on/off favourite forum on the internet for the past several months. I love you guys.
We’ve been through some tough times, and things aren’t always as peaceful as they are now. But, here we are. I’d like to thank Conrad Slater so much for making this wonderful site. I’ve met some wonderful people here, and I can’t imagine my online life without the youtube poop community.
And thanks so much to the current admins. Many people may be complaining about the new boards, but I’m just happy we’re still here. Thanks so much for all the hard work you’ve put into keeping this place together.
And here’s to a year of successful pooping! May there be many more.
Thanks guys. You’re all the best.

Though I’m not an old enough member to get all nostalgic, I can at least say that this enthusiasm and dedication to this site and the community therein isn’t just something that is celebrated once a year; this is something we all should be proud of, including myself, for being a part of it.

I love this forum.
First off, this forum was the first forum they didnt put me on moderator approval for being banned several times. This community has been through its times, and e-drama, but I still love this forum. Thank you Conrad Slater, and the current admins. You have done very well with this forum.
