Hello, this is Dan with an important message...

Remember that website, ZippCast, that I mentioned a while back? The alternative to YouTube that offered the old channel design?

It's gone.

It's been down for a while. I've tried typing the URL repeatedly and it won't show up. I just thought it was a server error, because it had a lot of those. But then I read somewhere:
"As of June 17, 2013, ZippCast has been closed and the servers turned off. The ZippCast staff had no knowledge of this until Friday, June21, 2013, when one of the staff received a short message from Louis stating that he had shut the site down and turned the servers off... That is the only thing we have heard from him since June 16. It is now time for me to close ZippCast chapter in my life and move on."

Basically, one of the creators of the site deactivated it without permission of the other members. The URL now redirects to another social networking website--another Facebook copy, as if we didn't have enough of those already.

I am really pissed off about this, but apparently a lot of people are happy.

Whatever. I guess I'm stuck using YouTube until another alternative shows up.

ZippCast is coming back!! At the beginning of March 1st (tomorrow) EST! It went down because The owner was expecting a baby soon, and if you looked at his profile back then, you would have seen. Now they said they have systems in place so that will not happen again. They still might have to work out a few bugs, but it is launching tomorrow, in less than one day!! :D
