Sorry, but when you voted and when carywilburn implied that he wasn't sure if it was still going on, I thought clarifcation might be a good thing. I see your post now where you posted a video and said "even though its over, dig this my chess friends."

hi, guys. I'm back with a capital S. I still can't believe I won. It's crazy. Well, Chess.com put up my first video for them and you can find it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyMXRGi3WkA

I was shakin' in my boots when I was doing it but I'll be more relaxed in the future for sure.

I know that I am going to improve. I need a lot more energy. A lot more.

Lastly, I just want to say that in the beginning of the year I made a video and it got about 10 dislikes and 1 like from my Dad and mostly everyone was complaining about how horrible I was. I took it down because it was so bad. There's no way I would have believed anyone who told me I was going to be chosen as the Chess.com's new YouTube presenter. Hahaha. I mean, it's funny how things work out and I know that I am lucky and that if I don't seriously up my game Chess.com is going to get rid of me so I'll improve, just see.

I want to thank, AKnightsTail, Likhit, MDJMaster, Tartarus, Damon Smith, DChessBoy, and FancyKnight. They were the very first to voice their support for me and, seriously, I cannot find the words to describe how I felt when I actually got that support. That morning afterwards, I seriously had tears in my eyes when I read page 3 of this thread. [Alright, it was mostly due to not putting in my contact lenses, but still] I am indebted to you totally :D

You guys have to see my latest video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmDJ0k4revk

Not necessarily for the video but rather for the comments. They're hilarious, ranging from totally negative to totally positive.

If I offended any dragon players, I apologize; perhaps I went too far.

Dragons aren't technically animals, more like mythical creatures, so I think it's the Hedgehog players you need to be worried about (you'll get stabbed in the stomach by a ...d5 break)

ChessAcademyHQ

haha, what you said about mythical creatures had crossed my mind. And the other thing is that I was like, "Of all the players I had to insult, I had to insult THE SICILIAN DRAGON, MainlineNovelty. Bummer."

And the hedgehog rules. Totally forgot about that opening.

So, what happened with Squarology? His last video for chess.com was uploaded 13th January and he was last online on chess.com 17th January. He just disappeared without a word. Members in a forum named "We want more of Squarology!!!" is wondering the same thing.

I would LOVE to hear what program people used to record their videos (include OS please)!

Thanks, Tony

Hello folks! Squarology still creates youtube content on his own channel. There are other good youtubers/twitch streamers as well like Chessexplained, Amazingoid, Zibbit, Acerook, Chessnetwork (of course), and even the occasional Novice Chess video (self-plug there :p)
