Apparently it is now.
How about Dailymotion or some other host? It's very frustrating seeing lots of people working really hard to get those videos up again, just to be taken down by stupid YouTube rules and assholy whiteknights with too much time in their hands.

Eh, youtube makes extensive use of robots to handle reports. Like 95% of the cwcville library is archived stuff that Chris himself uploaded (and continues to upload). And it's not Chris himself that's making these reports, he really doesn't care that much.

It's not impossible for spergs to be making reports about actual rule breaking, but I'm skeptical. I'm sure there are lots of other similar archival accounts on youtube. I'd prefer for us to see a message from an actual human customer service person before we give up entirely on youtube.

And anyway, in the meanwhile, I'm just arranging torrents. Well, and plus it's a wiki; if someone has videos on another host and if they work with mediawiki*, go ahead and edit the page. No one's stopping you.

* I might need to install an extension for this to work...

Edit: Nevermind, we already have EmbedVideo. Go ahead and upload to your heart's content.

Why are we not storing them on the Wiki is it a diskspace / bandwidth issue?

Yeah, that's part of it. Also video sites are easier to use outside the wiki.

Godfucking damnit. I got all Chris' videos, PM if you need anything. :/

EDIT: almost 27 gigabytes, including all the comics, the animated videos, the dvd iso, the massdebate ones, and so on... :c

Marvin has a post on the previous page which lists the videos still missing from the master torrent:

Continuing what I was doing in this post:

For July-December 2009, I'm missing:
Also, this upload includes a handful of videos technically uploaded by other people, but they're important to the relevant cwcki articles to understand what's going on. So liquid's videos are included in here too, for example.

Maybe you can arrange a way to get all the missing videos to him.

Well, piss in a hat! Some shitgobbler got my video titled "The Rape of Ivy" taken down! I hope it can still be accessed elsewhere.

084 The Chronicles of Chris-chan_ The Rape of Ivy? Got it.

Got all of them except maybe kcwc part 10 and http://sonichu.com/cwcki/CWC_Personal_Sonichu_Presentation

I gotta go now. Tonight I'll upload all of them. Do you guys need anything else?

Any particular file?

I just finished downloading the torrent, seeding it now.

During the download (I needed my sneak previews) there was a little desync in the Game Place Apology video, but that was more than likely due to the file not having been 100% downloaded at the time. Although now that it's completely downloaded, that video along with the others seem perfectly fine on my end.

Double post:

I'm putting together torrents. I'm going to group them based on the time groupings in this article.

Shame if this is still MIA. I thought I had saved a copy myself of the wedding video but it's nowhere in my possession. :-(

I'll miss seeing this image play out with the terribly awkward rendition of Happy Birthday To You composed in Mario Paint.

Yeah, that'll be useful.

I uploaded the first torrent here. If anyone can seed, it's greatly appreciated.

I'll see what I can do.

If he hasn't done it by now, I'm sure he never will.

Let's see how long we can keep this up. I'm sure it'll take years.

Yeah, that's part of it. Also video sites are easier to use outside the wiki.

Wouldn't surprise me we simply needed a backdoor to this.

How could that cwc-library been up for such a long time before this happened? There gotta have been whiteknights trying to delete if before(??)

I suppose that's a mystery for future Christorians to solve!

That one is fine. I noticed some issues with a few of the others, eg the PandaHalo video, depending on the player. VLC seems to handle it okay though.
 
Damn, this is tragic. I can't go on without videos of my favorite autistic manchild. It's a huge relief to see that we still have a huge chunk of the videos saved. I regret not saving some of them. :( Awesome work to everyone!

I'm still confused though. Is there a group of weens that are just patrolling for Chris videos and flagging them for no reason?

I think you mean a group of White Knights patrolling for Chris videos

Something like that, yeah. Or probably just one guy, but yeah.

Oooh okay, I see now. Damn, why do people have to ruin the fun? :(

What if the weens and white knights have joined forces against us? :O

Since the videos on YouTube keep on getting flagged, I guess that means YT if not a choice for uploading the videos again. I hope the videos will be safe on another website. I admit, I'm a little paranoid that they'll get flagged elsewhere.
