I've been a very good YouTube poster, and now all my videos are gone because YouTube has permanently deleted my account. All my work is gone... and I have no way of contacting YouTube to possibly re-establish my account and I'm totally pissed! My grandmothers videos, my dog swimming, my cool 3D videos that I made, animations... and they would pin me for stupid things. I did violate once and got warned a long long time ago. They even muted one of my videos for recording the fountains of belagio for copyright infringement of the music rights.

My other problem is that i don't have a backup of those videos (well maybe a few of them) but not all of them and that's what really pisses me off!!!

Has this crap happen to you?

Why did they take them down? Like do you know if you violated anything or had anything up that did?

And yes, they now suck hard.

You probably want to keep backups from now on, but as far as those other videos go, I'm afraid you may not be able to do much.

No, but you should always make back-ups of what you don't want to lose.

I have all my recent ones, but none of the older ones. It's just a pain in the butt to re-upload. Right now I just tried creating a new account but my current email address is linked to the deleted account and I don't want to make a new email address just for youtube... I wonder if there's any actual youtube competitors that are as populated as the youtube community.

What alternative to youtube would you recommend. I was thinking of either Vimeo or Metacafe.

at least you are honest about being mad about not having backups. The one thing I try to pound into my familys and friends heads; make double backups. You only know how bad it is to lose something.... when it is gone.

I'd really like to know why you got deleted. You didn't really say.

Also, you can always contact their customer service. No matter how bad they suck; you still can. Never give up.

It's listed on their "contact us" page. Type in youtube.com and then go to the bottom. It's on the left hand side. Yes, San Bruno is where their address is. Phone: +1 650-253-0000 Alternatively, they have many other ways on that page to contact them.

I only visit YouTube maybe once a week if even that, don't like the website like I used to. Ever since Google purchased it, it's gone far down hill.
