YouTube Nicktoons needs to put the early 1990s, late 1990s and early 2000s more

May 1, 2002 to April 5, 2004 - They showed early 1990's and late 1990's all day and showed the early 2000's shows a little since it's already the early 2000's.
April 5, 2004 to May 1, 2005 - They started to remove some early 1990's shows and put the remaining ones in the early morning or late at night but that's still good. They were still showing the late 1990's and early 2000's though.
May 1, 2005 to April 1, 2006 - They removed all early 1990's shows and replaced it with late 1990's and early 2000's shows. But, nicktoons was still a good network. They showed late 1990's and early 2000's shows all day that time.
April 1, 2006 to September 1, 2007 - This is the time when nicktoons started to suck. Why it's time it started to suck is because they started to remove some late 1990's shows and show the remaining ones in the early morning and late at night and sometimes even show them in the late afternoon. They showed early 2000's shows all day, but that's still good, but it started to suck a lot worse than this.
September 1, 2007 to June 2, 2008 - This is the REAL time when nicktoons started to suck. They replaced the late 1990's shows with early 2000's shows. They took off some late 1990's in the early morning and replaced it with early 2000's shows, but that's still good, but not enough. But, they replaced rocket power with the secret show. But, they showed rocket power late at night, along with as told by ginger.
June 2, 2008 to January 1, 2009 - They replaced the early 2000's shows with late 2000's shows. They still showed rocket power and as told by ginger at 4 am though, except my dad the rockstar was removed and replaced with way side.
January 1, 2009 to September 28, 2009 - Rocket power still was showed at 4 am but as told by ginger was removed and replaced with ricky sprocket. But, nicktoons had nicktoons network still since september 2005. But, spongebob and fairly odd parents often played before my life as a teenage robot played.
September 28, 2009 to May 1, 2010 - They replaced the nicktoons network logo with nicktoons, which reminds me of the early 2005 one. They did bring back catdog, ren and stimpy, and rocko's modern life at 3:00 am.
May 1, 2010 to June 21, 2010 - They started to play marathons of catdog, ren and stimpy, or rocko's modern life from 3 am to 6 am.
June 21, 2010 to July 5, 2010 - They almost always played dragon ball Z kai before the catdog, ren and stimpy, or rocko's modern life marathons played.
July 5, 2010 to August 2, 2010 - They almost always played invader zim or fanboy and chum chum before the catdog, ren and stimpy, or rocko's modern life marathons played.
August 2, 2010 to August 30, 2010 - They added the troop to the schedule, the played either fanboy and chum chum, back at the barnyard, or brain surge before the catdog, ren and stimpy, or rocko's modern life marathons played.
August 30, 2010 to January 1, 2011 - They replaced all three of the ones that played before the catdog, ren and stimpy, or rocko's modern life marathons with invader zim.
January 1, 2011 to June 6, 2011 - They replaced the first invader zim rerun with the troop and the second rerun of invader zim still played before the catdog, ren and stimpy, or rocko's modern life marathons played.
June 6, 2011 to September 5, 2011 - They replaced invader zim with power rangers samurai and supah ninjas. And invader zim didn't play at all except friday before the ren and stimpy marathon started. But, catdog marathon, power rangers samurai before that. Before the rocko's modern life marathon started, supah ninjas played before it. Before the rugrats marathon, dragon ball Z kai played before it.
September 5, 2011 to October 10, 2011 - All of the marathons got replaced with three delivery, my life as a teenage robot, el tigre, and jimmy neutron marathons. But, invader zim still played at 10 am again like the january 1, 2011 to june 6, 2011 stage.
October 10, 2011 to present - Invader zim got replaced with T.U.F.F. puppy. Spongebob and fairly odd parents got brought back to nicktoons. But, chalk zone is still on nicktoons. There are either supah ninjas, fairly odd parents, power rangers samurai or jimmy neutron marathons from 3 pm to 6 pm.
They need to bring back all the old shows from early 1990's, late 1990's, and early 2000's to nicktoons! Not late 2000's and early 2010's crap on nicktoons. Who's with me to accomplish this to bring them all back on nicktoons?

Your computer has a virus that is causing pop-ups when you visit popular websites. This encourages you to click the links because you feel they are valid when they pop up on popular sites like YouTube or Facebook. Get virus software such as Malwarebytes Anti-malware or Avast! Either once should help you out. Then get rid of your PC and get a Mac, then this won't happen in the future. Then, stop being so gullible, if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. Not to mention, it's pretty ridiculous to accuse YouTube of scamming you. I think a multibillion dollar company like YouTube doesn't need to pretend to give away iPads to make money.

YouTube psychotic video about murder

I saw that someone I know had viewed a video, and given a positive review. When I started watching, I knew it was very strange. The 'plot' is that the actor is supposedly OCD about humanity, and so he goes about performing a killing in each episode. This is a high quality video production, probably made by someone who has access to very high end equipment. To say this was grotesquely disturbing is an understatement. It was as real as anything a person can imagine ... if there imagine was toward the criminally insane. There really needs to be some oversight on YouTube, this is worse than anything I've ever seen on cable, ever. I had to shut it off, it was so disturbing.

Was it titled correctly? Was it in the over 18 section? Some of the videos on YouTube you must log in to see. If it was both of those, then no you really don't have much to go on. My tastes differ from yours. Maybe I want to see grotesque things. The idea of "cleaning up YouTube" isn't that good! Who's to say what goes and what stays?!? If you take one thing down that has 1 like then you have to remove everything from the site!just to keep it "fair and balanced".

If there is a programme similar to Panorama, which investigates certain things, in Canada contact them, you are not shovelling you thoughts down people's throats, just standing up for what should be done by You Tube, to clean up their act and monitor stuff more closely, so rubbish like jump scare videos and the like, get blocked.

The best thing you can do, is flag the video as innapropriate and click on the dislike button, if that does not get any response try writing to You Tube via Facebook, or write to Panorama and detail your objection to the video, to give these a chance to get investigated and perhaps You Tube might clean up their act.
By accident I have stumbled across this type of trash and created about it, I certainly don't go looking for these types of videos, I have been accused of being the You Tube police, which I am not, people can watch what they want, but people submitting this type of rubbish, should not, as it does offend and scare people.
If they continue to submit this type of tripe, they should have their You Tube account terminated, You Tube should monitor what goes on the net.
You are not imposing your morals on others, you are sensibly standing up for what is right and standing up for yourself, which is sensible.

YouTube forced account linking

As of today, Feb 26 2011, all YouTube accounts (existing ones included) must be cross-linked with a Google account or they can't be accessed. To "confirm" the link they ask for your mobile phone # to send you a voicemail or text message containing an activation code. In other words you can't use a made-up number. The fact that Google is trying to blackmail us into using all their services as a package deal whether we want them all or not is irritating enough. Asking for information that's one step away from our names and addresses - not usernames, not IP addresses, our real names and where we live - is an outrageous violation of privacy. They promise to keep it all confidential of course, which makes me feel so much better. No big corporation or government agency has ever let private information fall into the wrong hands. It's unthinkable!
To hear it from them you'd think that calling people up on their cell phones was the only effective way to keep bots from running amok and creating massive numbers of new accounts. That's the closest thing to a logical explanation they offer for this ridiculous policy. But if you're looking for a way to contact Google and register a complaint well ... there isn't one. They've got their support page set up so you can only get help on things they feel like helping you with. Every thread dealing with the forced linking on their own forum has been locked by administrators to stop people from posting any more comments; however you can still read the ones that came in before that, and most of them are pretty scathing.
If anyone at Google should happen to read this, refusing to acknowledge a problem doesn't erase it from existence. People aren't going to quit complaining after a while and just accept this. You're creating a golden opportunity for the competition to gain market share. If things stay the way they are right now, come summer at least one rival site will have surpassed YouTube in total number of views per day. And you'll have no one to blame but yourselves for making it possible.

Well gee, if you had no trouble then clearly I must be hallucinating. One week later and after logging on I still hit that annoying screen that wants me to link my account. As a matter of fact, once signed in any YouTube page I try to load (channels, videos, etc.) goes right to the Google account linking ### and I have to log out again before it lets me browse the site as a guest.
It's possible this is being done right now on a trial basis in selected markets, to test public reaction. All I know is that where I am they've been very thorough in making sure there's no way to circumvent their dumb ### policy. I don't know where you live that account linking is unnecessary, madC. If you'll kindly leave your mobile number I can use the phone's GPS to pinpoint your location, then send your choice of a voicemail or text message as confirmation. Oh, I almost forgot: your email account will be locked down until you comply. Have a nice day!

YouTube allowing videos of abuse to animals

outrage doesn't even scratch the surface. Please, anyone who cares, take this video, spread it around the globe and let everyone know you are as angry as I am that this is allowed on you tube.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWRtZM2fbAc
I've sent a copy to you tube via a complaint form that says I'm complaining about race...this was the only way I could get it to them. They had NOTHING to file a complaint on abuse to animal video's being uploaded.

PLEASE FIND ANY FORUM YOU CAN POST THIS TO AND TELL THE WORLD THIS WON'T BE TOLERATED. ABUSE HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO PEOPLE, ANIMALS, IT NEEDS TO STOP. BEING AN ADVOCATE FOR ANIMALS IT IS THIS ABUSE I AM ASKING FOR HELP WITH. WE CAN'T ALL DO EVERYTHING ALL OF THE TIME. WE PICK SOMETHING TO ADVOCATE FOR AND DO IT. THIS IS WHAT I AM DOING FOR THIS POOR LITTLE DOG.

Please realize what the video is meant for before you complain about it. Did you happen to read the description? The video was posted to get people to recognize the man, his voice, the girlfriends voice, even perhaps the dog or the house. The description tells you all these things. About how over 100, 000 internet users have signed up on the facebooks and such to help find the guy. Even the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Hong Kong and Taiwan are trying to find the guy thanks to the video.

You could have atleast attempted to translate the Chinese in a translation site or something if you couldn't read it. The video is there to help stop abuse like that. They are not saying that it is okay by any means. They are just trying to put the video out there so people can help find the guy.

YouTube Laura1984

I was just reading some of the recent complaints about the Loss Prevention Officer named Josh. So, that;s his name. Thanks for putting this out to all of us hard working customers. I was shopping at the Saint Louis Galleria Gap on 1/17/2011 which was a Mon. I was there for my 30 min dinner break to take advantage of the store promotion. I work nearby the mall from m-f 11:00-7:00 so i had to dash over there. Let's see, my meal was from 2:00-2:30 and it was the longest meal ever. I had an ordeal with the Loss Prevention man which caused me to be late returning to work and I didn't want to tell my boss it was because I was accused of stealing. That;s right, accused. I was walking around the Women Section and found a sweather that I was looking at the weekend before so I knew what I wanted. I guess that Josh saw me walk by to sweather pile and when I quickly picked it up he must have thought that I was going to steal it? So, I went into the fitting room and put it on and then came out wearing it to look for another size and there he was watching at me, walk back n forth. It was a bit nerve racking but that wasn't the worste part. I went over to the Lengerie section and while I was looking at bras I could see him looking er rather, peaking around the corner to see what all I was looking at. I am 24 and attractive and guess that he wanted to see what he probably couldn't get on the side! I'd say LoL but there was nothing to really laugh about. So, I went into the changingroom and tested the bras out and he waited outside while pretending to use his cell phone. I knw due to the fact that i looked out of my room door a couple of times and there was the same guy. I was so fritgened! I had no idea who this guy was (at the time). So, then I left everything but 1 bra and the sweather in the room and went up to the register to pay with my hard earned cash! When I left the store, he followed me into Gap Kids but I quickly went through to the otehr dooor and left the store before he could see I was gone. So, I looked at the number on my purchase receipt and called the store. When I talked with the sale girl and explained that some guy who is White, militrary like dark hair, glasses and ... she cut me off and said, oh that is just our Loss Prevention Officer. WTF! After reading these other complaints, it sounds like because I am black, and regardless that I am suphoisticated and an execuitive at my firm. I guess like the DJ said, he just took the bulls by the horn and went after me because he saw black like a bull sees red but what he should have saw was a living and breathing person!

Thanks for telling me what his name is so that I can now write Gap

I was shopping at the Gap at Chesterfield mall last week and this man was following me around everywhere. I even went into the fit rooms and he followed and Id swear he was trying to use his phone to watch me up above beccause I caught him for a brief second in my mirror and ran out saying your going down ppervert! By the time I found an employee he was gone. I complained to an empoyee who said I described their loss prevention guy, Josh. White male, glasses, tattoos on his arms and 20/30s. If gap is employing their ununiformed security officers to look under and above women changing their clothes to see if I would steal a bra and underwear then they are goinhg to far as I am concerned! Perverts ! Pererts !. This happened Wednesday around 330 afternoon. Ladies be aware of this predator!

Youtube is blocking christians from commenting to messages and trying to delete some youtuber subscribers. As christians our message must get out. Our message will not be liked by many obviously since satan is running many peoples lives as you can plainly see. It is against our freedom of information to stop us.

It's actually not, though you may feel it is unfair for you. If enough people have flagged the video as inappropriate youtube will eventually block it, and I assume they will eventually block the user itself. Youtube is not the US Government, and can block whatever they choose to block, they do not have the bill of rights. It's your right to say what you want to say, but it is not a requirement that youtube continue to post everything you upload.

Maybe try a different approach for your videos? There is a lot of religiously charged messages on youtube from every religion that are not being blocked. I believe Jesus sent a message of love, sincerity, and forgiveness? Either way, Youtube is not your personal website, it is a free service, you can always make your own website and post whatever you want for as long as you want.

YouTube copy rights

(If you are bored of reading the story, go at the end where i state my point)
I like uploading videos to youtube.But there is an issue.I like a rock band called system of a down, and i have used many many of their songs, as soundtracks on my vids.I have made a walkthrough of a game that has hit 47648 views, a record for me, and becouse of the copyrights, i was informed that it was banned from some countries.And i said, ok whatever, 3-4 countries less.I am not a youtuber, i don't want to make money, i like uploading vids.And then i clicked a link to see some more info about the countries it was banned.Are you ready? It was banned from :
Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Bahamas, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belarus, Belgium, Belize, Benin, Bermuda, Bhutan, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, British Indian Ocean Territory, British Virgin Islands, Brunei, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Cape Verde, Cayman Islands, Chad, Chile, China, Colombia, Comoros, Congo, Congo - Democratic Republic of, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Cote d'Ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Cyprus, Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Egypt, El Salvador, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Falkland Islands (Islas Malvinas), Faroe Islands, Finland, French Guiana, French Polynesia, Gabon, Gambia, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Gibraltar, Greece, Greenland, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Haiti, Holy See (Vatican City State), Honduras, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kiribati, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Latvia, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macao, Macedonia, Madagascar, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mali, Malta, Marshall Islands, Martinique, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mayotte, Micronesia - Federated States of, Moldova, Monaco, Mongolia, Montserrat, Morocco, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, Netherlands Antilles, New Caledonia, Nicaragua, Niger, Nigeria, Niue, North Korea, Northern Mariana Islands, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Palau, Panama, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Reunion, Romania, Rwanda, Saint Helena, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Samoa, San Marino, Sao Tome and Principe, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Korea, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Suriname, Swaziland, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Tajikistan, Tanzania, Thailand, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Turks and Caicos Islands, Tuvalu, Uganda, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu, Venezuela, Vietnam, Wallis and Futuna, West Bank, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe

If i counted well, 172 countries.THE WORLD HAS ABOUT 200 COUNTRIES!MY VID WAS BANNED FROM EARTH BECOUSE I USED A SONG! IT WAS BANNED EVEN IN ZIMBABWE!DO THEY EVEN HAVE INTERNET THERE?The cherry on the top of this is the youtube tip below the countries banned:

What should I do?
No action is required on your part. YOUR VIDEO IS AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE ELSE NOT LISTED ABOVE!

My point:

I understand the fact that artists want want to protect their songs and copy right is nothing bad to exist, but, if someone want to download a song for free, there are tons of sources to do.You can't ban a video of someone becouse he uses that vid.When someone watches a walkthrough, the last thing he is going to do, is download it to get the song.What is more, there are videos especially for listening to some songs, why don't they ban these vids?In addition to that, using a song at a vid, is free advertisment.Is there anyone out there that agrees with me?

YouTube violation of terms, stealing Youtube names from members

I had been asked to give up my oxforduniversity youtube name by Google marketing associate project manager Bell Wallace. He asked me on several emails and he said it is against Google's policy to take names anyway but he insisted that Oxford University was requesting the name which I said no. He wrote again and again and I said no I do not want to give up my name. I never heard from him again but 5 months later I logged on and I notice my Youtube URL was changed without reason and I discovered it changed with University of Oxford instead. My went from this URL http://www.youtube.com/oxforduniversity
to this URL http://www.youtube.com/user/oxforduniversity which I immediately contact this Bell Wallace and he refuses to respond. I have called him left messages and he refuses to respond, emails too, nothing.
Now Googling the guy he has his profile here on Linkin: http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/ben-wallace/17/699/165 which he was a former Oxford University student which is conflict of interest in taking my OxfordUniversity yourtube URL name and gave it to the University. What a sham, this guy is nuts, he just violated Youtube Google's policy and he goes messaging after the fact. I even have their policy that the company cannot do this.

Well guess what I am suing this guy and taking this guy to Federal Court for stealing my Youtube user name for damages and my URL back.

This Ben Wallace for Google UK - associate project manager is a theif and a crook. Beware of this scam from Google Youtube.

A corrupt company

YouTube Fraud & Theft

I met Bernard O'Brien and his very un-professional team of con men at a Hotel in Stoke on Trent UK. I was under severe pressure from the start to pay some £5, 000.00 commitment fee for a strategic report. However, I had copies of other reports from people to whom were involved with Bernard O'Brien and guess what, "they were all the same". Yes, they are all exactly the same with the names changed !.

I led Bernard No-brain down the garden path with a story and all he could focus upon was $$$$. He wanted my hard earned money no matter what. I urge you all to keep well away from this "CROOK" and before doing anything, watch this video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oi62YImnVYM which shows Mr Bernard O'brien get caught in te act.

If I can save just one person from this theif by posting this report, it will be worth every second spent writing it. Please be aware that O'Brien has other company names such as "Planet Earth" Australia, the name of which is stolen from a good honest company in the UK and many others.

Bernard O'Brien has a UK agent which was called Discovery Beach UK but changed it's name to "Pathfinder Ltd" and his associate in crime is one drug dealing Chris Barrell from Bristol UK. Mr O'Brien and Chris Barrell are real Cameleon's but always smell of the same dirt. They are both liar's, a crook's and dont buy the story about Barrister as he was thrown out and disbarred which is well documented on the internet.

They both work with anyone willing to pay up front for their time. They will tell you that it is 20k for the full service but after paying 10k they will settle the full amount when they get you squillions for your project. Beware, after the first 5k, O'Brien will start going quiet as he is a drunk and you have just fed his habit with the 5k, after the second 5k has gone, so are they. "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED".

"If you need to give money away, give it to the needy and not the greedy".

YouTube youtube lace wig review scammers

Youtube is filled with people that give false/biased reviews on Lace Wigs. The number one phony would be none other than ATEYA, she receives free wigs and other products to do reviews for the sponsoring company, so therefore you cannot believe her review of the product that she reviews. There is also a young scammer by the name of LACEWIGNHAIRPRODUCTS aka CAPELLI'S EMPORIUM, that just out right steals your money without sending you anything at all, so steer clear of her. Another to watch out for is Lrigyttiw. Lrigyttiw is the youtube username of another paid lace wig reviewer, she doesn't buy the wigs that she reviews, they are given to her for free in return for her promotion, but she does good applications, so don't by into the hype.

I do not think Lrigyttiw is a scammer, she buys her wigs from China and does everything to them. Are you upset that she has so many? How do you know whether she buys them or not? When has she ever actually reviewed a wig, she shares her knowledge. Don't put it out there unless you know the facts...And another thing, why hate on people who review wigs? As many reviews Ateeya did I would hope someone would pay them I am so sure if they sent you a message telling you they were gonna send a wig for free for you to review you wouldn't turn it down, I wouldn't...

YouTube racism

Youtube viewers can post racist comments or replies to You Tube videos, and the company displays these comments on their site. There is no monitoring of comments submitted or posted to the site nor (apparently) any repercussions for members who submit racist or homophobic remarks to the site. E.g a youtube account holder xXSlashBoiXx submitted the comment (1 week ago) "This guitar aint for metal u [censored]" in response to (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhbDQsuXa-k) a video of a Japanese man playing guitar. I've also seen homophobic remarks submitted and displayed on the site. As YouTube appears to operate a membership or account holder system, they should be able to monitor remarks submitted to the site. By not monitoring racism and homophobia You Tube risk becoming a forum prejudice and hatred. The company should refuse to sanction racism and homophobia by cancelling membership of repeat offenders and refusing to display offensive material.

Flagging a post, only flags it as spam. I 100% agree with the original poster. The issue YouTube would have would be manpower to field all of the reports of racist comments, i.e. moderating.

I made this game on Makemehost.com and when people joined I made sure to write down their names due to see if they were a hacker or something and when I started the game I noticed that someone had changed their name from Pinkiepie to something else and when I asked him about it he kicked me from my own game.

YouTube beware - your site can be hacked!

YouTube
youtube.com

Most people have heard of youtube.com... It can be a great place for entertainment but they dont know its dark side. I had a site called 'whyislamsucks' & spoke frequently about things about Islam that I found weird & disturbing.

My favorites on my site was hacked & I was forced to change my password 4 times to try to save my site. I got tired of the stupidity & deleted my site. Youtube allows people to hack others sites & also post videos on everything from terrorism to hacking. NO ONE on youtube is safe from having their sites hacked or taken out by youtube due to religious persecution.

Does anyone care out there? Can this be fixed?

Too many ads, no customer service and ‘skip feature for ads’ doesn’t work reliably. We’re done. $80/month isn’t much of a bargain when you take into account the number of ads/hour.

ADs are always in Spanish. I do not speak Spanish. Advertisers are losing money placing ads on You Tube when the viewer cannot understand a word said the ad. If I were an advertiser, I would ask You Tube to refund my money. YT should definitely refund their money as this was a disservice.

Stop advertising to me in Spanish.
