  • Can't remember if YT would let me comment when I first watched this...but excellent stuff, Curt. Love your attitude.

  • Agreed!...Well put, Curt.

  • Thanks

    :-)

  • You are really getting good at this video stuff man.

    For some reason though...when I watch your videos, I always end up thinking about Mary Tyler Moore......

  • That's a good thing. And let's face it, there are worse things that could come to mind while watching my videos.

    Thanks, Jason.

    :-)

  • Trying to watch this video but it will not load. :(

  • If it's the glitch that I sometimes encounter, toggling between "HQ" and "Normal Quality" usually fixes it.

  • Such a well produced/presented video. You seem to be comfortable working both sides of the camera - host and editor. Nicely done.

  • Thank you, that's a really cool compliment.

  • glad u stuck around coz so many people just vanish like remember lucyinLA? i wonder what became of her

    Oldschool tubers who are still around rule (-: like the hardcore oldschool ones...

  • I remember hearing about her. I didn't know she had drifted away. Too bad because as I recall she had a pretty strong following.

    Thanks, I'm glad we both stuck around.

  • Fantastic video. I love it how it is not just about you, I agree completely about the upload button...you said it all! Also, congrats on the 3 years and nice to meet you :)

  • Thank you - and likewise.

    :-)

    Yeah, in the very beginning it felt like it was all about me. But surfing around and interacting with people turned it into something exponentially better. I wouldn't change a thing.

  • This video is great & brought tears to my eyes. I have been gone for a long time due to IRL problems :( I popped over to see if u were still around and I see you're still making fab videos! You're also looking good Curt ;) haha. Btw, YT ate my 1st comment lol!! Much love xox

  • HEY THERE!

    I'm glad you keep popping your head back in to check on things. Hopefully that means you'll begin posting again, but either way it's good to know you're still alive and well.

    IRL stuff has to come first, and hopefully you're kicking ass and taking names as needed, but I really do hope you get back into it (not to be too much of a nag, that is).

    :-)

  • test

  • I'm glad to have met you. Great video.

  • Likewise, Cori.

    :-)

  • Glad I dragged my eyeballs back over here to watch this video, Curt. I'm trying to overcome my video laziness and upload something every once in a while. Perhaps I'll actually try to keep up with subscriptions as a next step.  I'm really grateful for all the friends I've made here and I'm glad you're one of them. Still, I know there are plenty more great people I've yet to meet here. Thanks for the reminder.

  • Well would ya lookie who's here!

    You've been missed around here, dat's fo sho. And, hey, if you're ever in doubt about what to upload, word on the street is there's collab footage stowed away somewhere.

    ;-D

  • happy youtubersary!

  • Hey Curt, been missing sharing smart ass comments with you on Facebook, did you quit using it?

    God bless man, hope everything is going well.

  • LOL, Thanks Jason. Yeah, it was fun until everything was malfunctioning on a regular basis. Finally decided it wasn't important enough to maintain, so I left. Like twitter, I was battling the temptation to close my account every time I logged in.

    Hope all's well at your end too.

    :-)

  • I can't remember when I first logged on, as KurtGnu.. but it's probably around 3 years ago too.. at least! It's not really important, what counts is that we're still here.. enjoying what we do, and what others do, laughing at, crying at.. walking off in anger to, or finding solace from fellow YouTubers videos. YT is not what it once was, some is better, a lot is worse but I guess it's called progress.. :)

  • "Typically any social networking website that I've joined... within a year's time, I've pretty much burned out and moved on."

    We know. It SUCKS. Glad you're still here, Curt. :)

  • Congratulations on your 3 yrs. on YT!

  • you are great Curt, glad to have you On board , J watched all your movies, just don't stop now

  • glad to know you.  my next video talks about you quite a bit. uploading soon.

  • I am glad to have washed up on this shore like YouToo(be). I'm stickin' around and look forward to what you come up with next. xo

  • Yes.

  • Fine, I'll stick around. :)

  • This was GREAT Curt!! PURELY AWESOME!! I count your friendship as one of the true GREATS!! Congrats on 3 years and here's to the future buddy! :)

  • December 30th will be three years.

    Seems like only yesterday... and yet it seems like a lifetime ago.

    Glad to have met your E-quaintance Curt. :)

  • Hahaha I think I uploaded my first video on the day you joined, Jim!

  • Oh yeah, congrats on lasting this long and thanks for always being there for nearly the whole ride!

  • I also have a three year video coming up, to be uploaded three years to the day after my first upload :)

  • hey curt. congrats on your 3-year anniversary. i will be having mine tomorrow. i joined halloween night 3 years ago. like you said, many people, many experiences, and many more to come. i wish you all the best. take care.

    *tori*

  • You know i love watching you Curt, Cant wait for the next three years. well i can i just hope they pass a wee bit slower this time.

  • *hugs*

  • Well said, sir.

    Well said...

  • Congrats on three years man!

  • happy youtube-iversary!!!

  • Awesome vid! It hurts when I go see someone's channel page and they haven't even signed in since forever ago. Fortunately, One of those people who hadn't signed in for 8 months was AT Southtube3! :)

  • Go YouTube !!! Oh Curt rules !

  • This is a very nice video. And hopeful. Perhaps more so than I've been hearing lately?

  • You pretty much summed up how i feel about this place Curt.

    Thanks for including me amongst all those other great YTers. I feel honoured

    The Class of 2006 certainly produced a good crop of video makers imho.

    Here's to the next 3 years, for both of us :)

  • man curt i remember when i made my first site manny the 1st 3 years ago i was still in highschoolnow youtube helpe e mature cause now im in college but i still find time to upload and make videos for fun as well

  • Congratulations Curt!! I like what you said about the people who come and go, yet it's the ride that we should enjoy.

    It's almost my 3rd year here vlogging too. Take Care Curt. Here's to another few more years =)

    -Richard

  • i made it, lol! i still have problems with my YT links on my comp!

  • You are? How odd.  I wonder if maybe your antivirus software might be having some issue with this site - ??

  • i know it is , but i dont know how to make it not see it as a virus, something about the YT certificate

  • Congrats Curt! Glad you put on a splashy shirt for the occasion lol That was great! I couldn't help but notice in the beginning how your speaking skills on video is so evident now. Really great. You really have come a long way. Thanks Curt for giving me a sense of stability on this site no matter where my life has taken me, you've always been there... Really! I even took you to Australia with me. You have given us so much, I couldn't imagine going more than a week without seeing you. Love PiP

  • (((Pip)))

    There was a period there when I was almost certain I'd find an "account closed" message at your end, but I'm glad you stuck around. Now... how about a new video?

    ;-)

  • Thank you for making videos!

  • Thanks for being able to stomach them.

    :-D

  • Yep, it's been quite a ride! Congrats on the 3 years Curt!!! I'm here 3 years this past September. It would be longer but I only had dialup till about then. Here's to many more years. I couldn't imagine this place without you.

  • Likewise, Blink.

    It also sounds like we were upgrading from dial up around the same time.

    And happy belated 3rd Tuberversary!

    :-)

  • very well said. i totally agree.

    i was on vacation when my three years was up so it slipped by unheralded, but i think YT should start thinking about long-service medals for those who make it to 2011!

  • LOL, I love that idea. Just so long as the medals don't look like that spinning circle dot pattern we see when videos won't load.

    ;-)

  • Yay for the new people, yay for the old people! Some people have been moaning to me lately that their old friends do not comment anymore, I think a lot is down to the subs pages at the moment actually but I do think we should welcome new YouTubers with open arms, it keeps the site exciting. Trouble is, some people think "I don't need to make that video, I covered that in 2007!" Make it again! Maybe we should have a "Remake Week!":)

  • Ooh, that sounds like a fun idea, actually. Perhaps a Remake Challenge even where we remake each other's videos?

    Hmm... with permission, I guess?

    And good point regarding not seeing familiar names/faces. We could stress over that or just enjoy who does show up. As for people not making videos anymore, when several people I watched gave up, I just looked around and found others who were still uploading. Some had been making videos for 2 years but I only just noticed.

  • it's official. i think you're the cat's meow.

  • *purrrr*

  • Well done on reaching your 3 year vloggiversary! Anytime you want a collab, feel free my friend.

  • Will do. Likewise if any ideas come to you. I love to have any excuse to send other people clips of things I wouldn't have thought to do myself.

  • Wow, three years is a long time to be on youtube. I just broke two years being on youtube october 22nd. Congrats on making it three years. Here's to more great years uploading on the net! :)

  • Happy Belated 2 years!

    And, yep, let's hope this just goes on indefinitely.

    :-)

  • Wow 3 years already? I break my 4 years joined in Feb, and my 3 years since 1st video in dec this year. Time flies man. Been a good ride with ya. :) Heres to 3+ more!

  • You waited that long before uploading? That's more willpower than I've ever had. It was 5 days after I created my old 'curt344' account when I was posting something.

    *no self control whatsoever*

    Glad you kept your account and gravitated back here, Rick.

  • Lol i first signed up cuz my xgf suggested i watch anime here lol. I hate Anime but i did it because she wanted me to. <.< women. It took me about that long to find Zipster, and he was talking about community and i go "hmm" and then i posted lol.

    Ive had no intention of actually ever calling it Quits, the only reason im not as active is because my computer is fail, and its really hard to do anything on it. lol

  • kudos!

  • Thanks!

  • So eloquently put. You're always a pleasure to visit with. Thank you.

  • That's sweet of you to say. Thanks!

  • Congrats on 3 years, it's been a long journey dude. :)

  • Hell yeah! Glad you decided to stick around, JP

    :-)

  • And to think, the first thing that drew me here was the MTM font! LOL

  • HA! Was it really the font? Too funny.

    And for the record I totally respect that about you.

    :-D

  • Pretty cool for an old chick who remembers the MTM show And Rhoda Before they were in reruns! ;)

  • Three years we've been here. Hard to believe, eh? You're looking very snappy, three years later.

    xxx

  • very nice video :-)

  • And short.

    We like that around here.

    ;-D

  • Well technically you did leave youtube... you just used your smarts and came back. I'll tell you what. You come back to twitter and I'll post a video on here. You know you want too! :)

  • Wait - I DID?? Okay, there was a week or so when I ignored YouTube while giving Vloggerheads a try, and then the transition of the old account to this one... but I never walked away as if I was done with it.

    Unless I blacked out?? LOL

    And Twitter was fun but eventually it began replacing healthy quiet moments in my head. For my own good I had to give it up. The grand lesson is that I have more of an addictive personality than I previously thought.

    But give everyone there my best.

    :-)

  • Nicely done!

  • Thanks, Norm

  • Love you and miss you!!!

  • (((Jenn!!)))

  • Damn, you beat me by two days! (And I'm kinda sad you gave up twitter - but we'll see you in the next space that opens up).

  • Twitter became a monkey on my back, sad to say. But it was fun for a while.

    And, yeah, when the next thing pops up to compete with it or whatever, I'll be signing up to give it a try.

    Happy Tuberversary to you too!

    :-)

  • Congrats and well said.

  • Thank ya, Sir!

  • Glad you're still here Curt.

  • Likewise, you two. I know life is busy for you but it's always good to see you check in with update vlogs when you're able.

  • Brilliant Curt, brilliant!

  • Thanks, Steve.

    Brilliant moments are cherished since they're so rare. W00T!

  • If you want to collaberate with me send me a messasge and I'll send you my email address.

  • Cool. Likewise if you get any ideas too.

    :-)

  • Great one Curt! Thanks for sticking around!

  • Thanks - I'm glad you've stuck around here even as you changed zip codes and time zones.

    I love that we got to ride some of those transitions with you.

    :-)

  • Love you, man.

  • I love you too - in a very heterosexualish non-ice-cream-eating way, of course.

  • yesh - that IS THE MAGIC BUTTON!

    Curt - Congrats on your 3 year anni - hope you'll stick around (at least) another 3! 'Cause you've given so much joy, love & laughter to us (as well as sometimes (ugh) making us think. YT wouldn't be the same without you. ♥

  • That's really sweet, Ali. Thank you!

    I'm glad you wandered back in and picked up where you had left off. Sometimes when I watch your newer uploads I get the feeling that the break helped breathe a lot of good new life into your YouTubing.

    And "magic" is a good word. It's not quite the heart thumper it was in the very very beginning, but there's still a special charge I get out of clicking it.

  • Three years?! Already? That's a lot of poop.

  • God bless my flush valve!

  • You wouldn't happen to have the number of that blonde chick at the 50 second mark would you...?

  • You mean captainfury2007? I think he's taken, but I could always put in a good word for ya.

    ;-D

  • Congrats on your 3rd year, Curt!

  • Danke (pronounced "donkey!" of course)

    And once again, it's cool to see you posting. That's some priceless stuff you've been coming up with.

  • Roger, dodger, Curt. Gotta admit I haven't exactly been prolific with the camera over the last couple of years, but It Ain't Over 'til the Fat Lady Sings.

  • Good point. Marty, I continue to hope that at some point you'll grab your camera and jump back in, but that's your call. And fortunately there's no imposed deadline for such things anyway.

  • Congrats Curt!

  • Thank you!

    :-)

  • Congrats, Curt. Like I have said many times..great people like you have helped me in the healing process of this knee....I have to say many of your videos have given me goosebumps because they actually cause me to reflect on subjects I wouldnt ordinary give a damn about. And okay, even though I love your "cat videos"..I have learned alot from your other great videos. Take care, and again, Congrats!! Well wishes from Rhode Island..

  • i felt kinda bad about our last exchange because it probably came across like I was taking issue more strongly than I was (the drawback to text communication). I love cat videos as much as the next person (the warm fuzzy factor in those is off the charts, lol). I just wish my cats were more cooperative - every time they do something interesting and I turn my camera on them, they stop doing the interesting stuff they were doing and stare at me. Oy!

  • So true! the upload button, if it wasnt there you wouldnt find me here 3 yrs on.

    Nice video curt.

    By the way, would you like to be a guest vlogger/video maker for "tubedorks" at some time curt?

  • Thanks for the invitation. I would be up for that, sure. Will private message you.

  • Congrats on 3 years mate.

    I'm only fairly new to watching your videos but have watched them all and really love the fact that you are still around and making videos. Many of the original "founding" tubers have moved on the other things. It's great to see some of the old timer's still around and making great videos. Here's to another 3 years at least!

  • Thank you!!!

    Yeah, it's pretty wild how many people were really prolific in the beginning but have either drifted off or closed down.

  • Congrats on 3 years Curt, Im thrilled that you are still around:-)

  • Thanks, Daryl. Glad you stuck around as well.

  • Very nice - congrats on three years! :-)

  • Thanks!

  • That was nice :) Congrats on 3 years!

  • Thanks, Denise.

    :-)

  • Congrates on 3 years, I'm glad I found your channel. So why did you came to YT for the first time.

  • Likewise, Nick.

    I wandered in here thanks to a discussion on a fan forum. People were linking clips to TV shows and after I finally graduated from a dial-up connection, I followed one.

    It was either a clip from the TV series Knots Landing that I first viewed, or it could have been that "Free Hugs Campaign" video. Memory is a bit fuzzy there.

    What drew you into this?

  • For me it was skydiving, I had booked in for my first solo skydive leason, and I wanted to see what to expect on my first jump.

  • Oh how cool. And here I thought you had been doing it since long before YouTube.

    Awesome that the site wound up helping you that way.

  • My first solo skydives where done March 2007, but I did the tandem skydive, bungy jump, hanglider ect on my 2003 and 2004 trips to New Zealand.

  • Congrats on 3 years...so glad you're still around Curt :)

  • Thanks, Sue!

  • That is an awesome shirt!

    You're looking muy guapo there with the shaved head and the scruff.

    Thanks for all your great videos.

  • Thanks - it was an impulse buy from a discount rack 8 years ago.

    And *blush* at the other compliment.

    :-)

  • I'm pleased you stuck around, Curt. I've always enjoyed watching your vids, and I've always been extra pleased when you've returned the favour and watched some of my nonsense! Have to say though, I'm missing you on Facebook.

    :-(

    The instant and daily interactions on there with friends old and new keep me going back to it, but I understand why you've left it alone. I'd probably do the same if I had the raft of problems you kept encountering. So long as you stay on here that's all that counts!

  • Rob, your videos are often more thoughtful and insightful than mine. I don't remember surfing away from your channel without having some brain cells woken up.

    FB was cool for a while and I get why you and so many others are into it. Something tells me that it still would've lost me at some point, but it was great for getting back in touch with a few old friends. MySpace offered the same perk 3 or 4 years ago when I had an account.

  • OH NO, 3 years on youtube has finally made all of curt's hair fall out. EEEEKKK!!!!!!

  • LOL, yeah that and an electric razor. But don't tell my scalp. It apparently prides itself on its independence.

  • So glad you are still around - and the friendships we have made as a community.. Looking forward to even more!

    Congrats on 3 years!!

  • I can't picture YouTube without you, Danny.

  • As always, an excellent Vid Mr. Curt

  • Thanks, Dan.

    BTW, in case I never said it, I'm glad you gave Vloggerheads a chance and actually got something positive out of it.

  • I stayed for the people. Glad you are still here.

  • Thanks, Boomer. I'm glad you've hung around for all these wacky characters as well.

    :-)

  • Awesome video, man. I was just thinking of this whole thing the other day, You seemed to have summed it up perfectly!

  • Thanks, MBD.

    I'm glad you came back.

  • Happy anniversary, Curt! I'm glad that you stick with YT.

    I understand that some people move on for various reasons, but I don't understand why people close their accounts. It's not like there's any financial upkeep to keep the account open in the event they change their mind and return. Ah well.

    Yayy!!!

    -- Matt

  • Good point, Matt. I can only relate possible reasons to why I've shut down accounts on other sites - I didn't want to leave unattended messes behind. But at least with video there's seemingly more potential for things to continue having a purpose.

  • I am actually celebrating 2 years of this channel (4 on the spanish one but I never update lol) and I am glad to call a lot of people My friends You included!!!

    Congratulations on 3 years of Genius!!!!! Let's collab soon and keep the train going! :)

    Love you!!!

  • You were around for 2 whole years before we found you? Dang, talk about slow!

    xoxo

    Yeah, you and that hubby haven't been on cam in a while. We need to drag you both out of semi-retirement somehow.

  • Wow I can't believe I'm still here after 3 years either. GREAT video Curt!

  • Who knows, we might even be marveling at our ten year Tuberversaries, Martha.

    :-)

  • I'm glad you're still making videos. I love you and I love your videos. It's ALWAYS nice to see and hear you and I hope you never stop making videos. :)

  • Thanks, PB! Yeah, as long as I'm still breathing and can extend my index finger to hit the "record" button...

  • You're one of the ones that makes this worthwhile.

  • 100% Agreed!

  • *NOT WORTHY!*

  • 3 years is a hugely long time in the realm of social networking websites. youtube is the longest running for me as well (of course, this is my second go around).

  • Even though I was a little bummed to see a lot of your videos zapped out in the process, I still say you chose a perfect replacement user name.

  • thanks curt.

    should have called it 2LiTtLeDeAn maybe...

  • NoTeNuFdEaN could have worked too.

    :-)

  • I enjoyed this video, it's sentiment, and all the enthusiastic comments; but this is what I really have to know- is that a pajama top you're wearing?

  • LOL!

    *ahem*

    Erm... no.

  • You know we are glad you stayed.

  • Thanks. The feeling is mutual!

  • Happy 3 years. It's a crazy ride for sure, but I am glad to be on it. Hugs, Van

  • Sometimes the craziness winds up being the best inspiration.

    :-)

  • Hey, glad you're still around. :)

  • Thanks, Tim. Glad you stuck it out as well.

  • Great vid!

    Wow, 3 years. I think mine is coming up too.

    I always look forward to an OhCurt video. :0) Thanks for taking us along for the ride! hugs

  • That's a wonderful compliment, Joyce. Thank you.

    Time flies when you're surfing the more fun corners of the web, huh.

    :-)

  • Very well said... and surprisingly short for an OhCurt video. *ducks*

    It's been an honor my friend and I'm definitely thankful for meeting this crazy bunch of folks... err, friends. =)

    Cheers... J.

  • Jason, just for that,I think I'll record a 10 minute vlog about nose hair.

    ;-P

    Ps. If this crowd weren't crazy, it wouldn't be any fun.

  • Nose hair collab... I think you're onto something. =)

  • Happy 3 year anniversary, Curt!!! I hope there will be many many more years of watching your channel and joining in the fun of the collabs!! :-)

    It will be 3 years for me in Decemeber! I agree with you, I'm a bit surprised I'm still here too! LOL The time has flown by and the friends I have made will always keep me coming back...:-) xoxoxo

  • Funny how many of us landed here around the same time. Must have been something in the air.

    Hey, if it weren't for the close friends, I think many of us would have surfed on outta here long ago. That was certainly the case for me and those dippy forums and chat rooms (hopelessly restrained by their text-only nature).

  • Holy shit, three years.

    That means mine's just around the corner.

    Remember when we had to wait two days to see our comments show up..? lol

    God, the shit we put up with...

    (as if we don't still have shit to put up with :o)

  • HA! Yeah, no doubt. There's always some shit to put up with on all these sites. It's testimony to something, I dunno what, that with all its glitches YouTube hasn't scared me off. And anymore, the foul-ups make me laugh.

    I'm glad you stuck around - and I have to say I like your current user name much better. Suits you well, Syd.

    :-)

  • It was hard to leave the Synic behind but it turned out to feel much better than I thought it would.

    I figured out how to save my vids, though, so that they're at least preserved along with the comments

    and if I ever get muted again (the only reason I've ever deleted vids), I have a cheat to get around THAT, too.

    I'm crafty that way.

    Great vid, Curt. Your vids get shinier and shinier.

  • I admire your craftiness.

    And thanks - my head gets shinier and shinier as well.

  • Good one, Curt! I remember when you joined that video community where you can upload videos that lasted like 18 or 30 seconds (ADD/ADHD paradise!) and were thinking of joining other video sites.

    I like YouTube too and I'm so glad you stayed here!
