  • I can't find any evidence of such a man, so my question would be, "who the Hell [was] Derek?"

  • oh come on. he is having an affair with some political biggie, and he is in love

    with the guy, who is treating him like a whore, and he is in great emotional

    duress and stress cuz he wants the ring and white picket fence and all that.....

    and the jaguar convertible.

  • 4 20 mutha fucka.... chill but this guy seems pretty homo

  • I wish someone would just tell us straight up what happened, like one of his close youtube friends instead of leaving us in the dark.

  • its killing me not knowing what happened. i just discovered derek tonight. i saw him guest appearing on other videos and really liked him. i didnt even get to see any of his videos. i really hope he comes back soon and hope all is well with him.

  • so how is derek?? will he be coming back anytime soon?

  • Can u tell Derek he's the reason I watched, idk I sort of am new to YouTube and he's so cool. Maybe it's sort of weird without seeing him it's like Im missing a piece. :(

  • Derek has disappeared, and replacing him has hit the table already... This is outrageous!! If Derek is replaced, I know I'm not the only one that will abandon all of these channels! Isn't there at least a way to contact him?

  • i leave youtue for a couple of weeks and it all falls apart.. lifes a bitch

  • noooooooo

    derek =[

  • he was my fav on the channel =[

  • Dereck made this channel.. without him, theres not much of a reason to watch..

    =[

  • "Replace Derek".........are you mad ?

  • CarlKR he is awsome, and he is active with the videos :-)

    derek, my internet been down for a bit and i hear this??? what a shame, your the first person i watched on here, and i hope you will post again soon when whatever has happened blows over.

    Richard xxxx

  • i'm with you i think carl should be the replacement but only as a temp.

  • Carlkr

    Centerfold

    Davey Wavey

    and ya their all pretty good :)

  • Do people ever look at you funny when you're v-logging while driving?

  • Carlkr

    No question about it.

    Anyway, Derek was the first vlog I ever subscribed to, and also the reason I even started watching vlogs.

    He will definitely be missed, and I really hope he comes back.

  • How do you make your vids while driving? I always want to make one, but if I put it on the dashboard then flys off. O_O

  • Sad to hear about the Derek incident. While tolerance is getting better, we still have a ways to go. Derek you are phenomenal and have done more than you will ever know. Good luck with your parents, they will eventually come around. You are a good, gifted person. Hope to see you on the channel again one day. Peace!

  • Derek is irreplaceable.......let's concentrate on getting the piece of shit who threatened him. We must not allow that kind of homophobic bullying !

  • What do you mean?

    What happend?

    =O

  • I don't fully know what has happened, but Derek is supposed to post again on Wed. 6th may....I hope that's true......he seemed sad in his recent posting on another page. "Come back Captain Derek; we need you." (Apologies to Capt. Jack in Torchwood).

  • What recent post? On what page?

  • Hey, if you could say me where this video is please, cuz the only reason i was subscribed to this channel was Derek, i would be really thankful

  • narutodavid90: I have no knowledge of anything about Derek. i don't think he's contactable. But I did enjoy and looked forward to his vids;he "Said what had to be said"......his own words.

  • davey wavey fersure.

  • is derek ever going to come back?

  • Or Ericos

  • Davey Wavey would be a fab replacment

  • Florida is ridiculous.

  • I'd like to get my hands on the piece of shit that threatened Derek to leave.

  • What happened?

  • Some coward on youtube threatened to make Derek's contact information public unless he delete his youtube and twitter accounts, I heard.

  • I think i would be good for the job.

  • well i know this one guy who would be really good...me =) lol i would think that it would be pretty sweet to be on this channel and add some spanish flavor to the mix....idk lol anywaysss

  • landonjoel

  • Okay I'm gonna hafta take a dramamine before watching your videos, Scotty....too much motion sickness.....

  • i can give some suggestions:

    carlkr

    robmuch

    robyoung1

    gdprophetxvii

    rawritsmateo

    they are hilarious and really cool guys.

  • Good call. In that order!

  • What happend to your other video where you tell us whats going on with derek?

  • Have a great time, a great life, etc?

    The arc of this channel concept deserves some actual thought. Each of the contributors has gone through their own introductions, revelations, and then allowed their own intellectual curiosity to drive the content.

    It's to be expected that everyone would become fatigued with their personal sagas at some point. The repeated default mode was to address topical local issues or more general concepts. That was Dereck's specialty.

  • derek once said he was afraid of not being remembered...even tho ur gone derek, we wont forget you, we'll be looking for you in THEE magazines 8^}

  • I wanna be a replacement...! :o)

    Ive watched you guys for ages... an have a popular channel myself sooooo... yeah consider me! :o)

    Rob xx

  • Yes consider him, Hi rob.

    Rob for president!

  • Haha, Hi.

    Ombama aint got nothing on me! lol! :o)

    Rob xx

  • Man, you are a hoot!

  • I heard some weird stalker threatened to reveal his address unless he left YouTube. God, there are some disgusting morons out there! Good luck, Derek, hope to see you back one day. You were and are an inspiration.

  • Its really unfortunate, I hope all goes well in Derek's ordeal. I hope you enjoy Paris and get to make some videos there!

  • Calkr

  • Derek Will be missed, but I will keep watching!

  • Thanks Scotty to post a video, I hope you have a blast in Paris, I love that city!. Dereck is gone :( but I really hope the best for him. I think dantonn91 or seejohnswim would be a good choice

  • shep689 or w/e....

  • lmao or whatever?

  • dantonn91

  • Check out TwilightRoxenXIII's Channel. He's got some great stuff there and I think he could be a good replacement for Derek.

  • wow to the people who took him leaving personal. my god you people dont even know him. he had a reason to stop posting videos. im mean im sorry but to be perfectly honest, most of the people who were watching his vids was because they thought he was attractive. oh and that he had some good points was a side note. not saying everyone is shallow. but that really is the truth. now people will actually have to do something constructive now that he isnt here. oh what are we going to do. oh my

  • Josh Taylor should take over Wednesday he's only new but growing everyday. His channel is called "myday2day " Please put him on Wednesday

  • Yeah Josh Taylor is good. I watch all his Vlogs and he's a cuttie

  • yeah Josh Taylor is a cuttie, So vote for him ......go Josh

  • oh you guys are so sweet. Thanks Jake ;)

  • your welcome Josh you know I love ya, We so have to chat on msn when your free later this week;)

  • thanks tom, your making me blush

  • love him

  • thanks Jake... you guys who are wanting me are great, I've only been on here a few weeks. and your support is been out of this world :) thanks

  • Derek led me to this channel, too.  :( was looking forward to see how his life changes through the next year or two...

    I like Will who subbed for you a week ago... at the very least, he's got a very cool list of subs.

  • *list of subscriptions. lol

  • Choose Martin who subbed in a couple weeks back.

  • Dantonn91

    You can do it Adam!

  • I'd be an amazing replacement. ^_^

  • CarlKR

  • I've been trying to get picked forever!

  • I am very saddened about Derek he was the very first person I viewed on YouTube. I took it as a good sign that I was doing the righjt thing. When I first saw it on ERICOS I was worried that his recent video about suicide was really a cry for help. Thanks for keeping us up to date. What ever he is going through I hope he knows many people care for him. I know people tell him he is cute but the help he offers is invaluable to many of us. It is is time to circle the wagons around him guys.

  • I subb'ed because of Derek and I really appreciated his honest voice. Please give him my best wishes and hopes for bright days ahead.

  • Dantonn91 <333

  • why?

  • BRING BACK DEREK!!

  • Dantonn91.

    He is amazazing.

  • That's so f** unfair, we gave him money to buy a laptop, we really liked him, and he just leave?! I'M SO UPSET...

  • Shouldn' t be surprised. Typical of someone who became full of themselves. Sorry but honest people know it's true. But hey, like you said, he got a laptap paid for by strangers out of the experience. So disespectful.

  • The way Derek left us alone is completely contradictory to his character as we know it. So for me this is very obvious: He did this unwillingly because he was forced by circumstances/somebody to pull the plug, as he was given no choice. He is the one who regrets the most, that he had to act like this to us, that's for shure. For me Derek always was a person of honesty and integrity, and he will always stay that way.

  • No, it's not. There is no excuse for the cryptic (tell his colab buddies) but tell his subcribers (who he spent a year begging for) nothing. It's totally disrespectful.

    There's no good reason why he couldn't have said (or at least tell the other guys to pass the message on) that his parents didn't want him to be on YT or he wants to be private now, or whatever.

    Telling his buddies, but ordering them to not tell his fans anything reeks of drama queenish and disrespect.

  • This is my impression:

    If it were an issue with his parents or he just wanted to be private, he would have told us.

    He obviously was blackmailed by a hostile stalker. I can image very well, that as a result of this he only had the choice to tell us a lie or to keep quiet about the real reason of his withdrawal.

    I believe it is unfair to judge him while not knowing what really had happened. I trust his friends, when they say, that they understand him (see e. g. Deihl's recent video).

  • Everyone has allways the right to disappear without leaving a note.

    This boy is not your property

  • I SO DO WORRY ABOUT DEREK!!

    I'll miss him so much... ; (

  • No Derek... now I'm depressed.

    My vote for replacement is dantonn91

  • NOOO!!! DEREK! DONT LEAVE! u were the reason i subscribed!

  • dantonn91!!! he's perfect for it man, also l really want to try out for it :) may i?? just tell me and i'll make a try out video, i'm latino, i mean, what group doesn't have a latinooo, man and i will not only be funny, but be serious and representing this macho society in which i live in...please let me try out :D

  • CarlCarlCarl!!

  • the orijounal tyler

  • Caleb Kruezel[sp?] would be a great addition to the channel!

  • fred hes funny as hell

  • I think the Derek thing is about a stalker because he either talked about that on BlogTV or a video on YouTube.

  • Dan from staceyandthesauseges

  • hope you'll like paris!

    the weather keeps getting better here, it should be warm and sunny when you arrive

  • shit... i'm still worried about Derek. something must have happened...

  • He's OK. Just trust him on this.

  • yeah... =)

  • not ericos not ericos not ericos

  • lol XD

  • jesus, pick jesus!

  • Jesus was totes gay lol ;]

    I should say that, someone might get upset... oh well, he very well could have been

  • ur wish is my command....there was a show on history channel bout lost scrolls that suggested jesus had a very special (yng) manfriend. he looked hot! oh me lol

  • That is really too bad about Derek. I just found his channel and this channel a couple of weeks ago and have been super impressed by both. Hope that he is okay.

  • I'm a new vlogger (one vid) but I would really like to be a part of this collab. channel... I'm in a canadian volunteer program that has given me many perspectives on alot of random things and would love to be able to share them with everyone! so I think that the only thing I would change about the channel is the open auditions... I know its proley alot of work for you guys to sift through them,,, but then at least you'll be getting someone who really wants to be here (like me :D)!!!

  • YAY for volunteering! i have done lots of that in AIDS & gay community. i highly recommend it, but you have to be mentally prepared for it. P.S. loose the twillight thing, if you want a chance here (lil inside joke) lol

  • Is derek coming back?

  • I wish you could take the slot Jack! that'd be aweseome too!

  • Comment removed

  • well i got at least one vote but absolutely not. I already have one collab channel and two jobs to deal with :)

  • congrats on the 2nd job I was wondering if you got it! (maybe you can still sub sometimes)

  • you are very cool and i already enjoy watching you on the 5guys, which is why i did not nominate you or any of the 5guys.

  • I vote for bodylikemind!

  • myday2day

  • Tem, replacement: NORCALVLOG !!!!!!!! xx

  • Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor Josh Taylor

  • thanks Mcfizzle2309 your the best. thanks for your support

  • Josh Taylor !!! Hes a cuttie

  • ericos

    he had a good audition and you guys need that european flair!

  • I hope Derek's sessions with his father have been positive for Derek and his whole family. I will miss him.

  • dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91! dantonn91!

  • Welcome back Scotty ;-)

    Replacements: how about you bring Carl back? If I remember correctly he said he wanted to come back in some capacity.

  • Glad you're doing well Scotty, wohooo for Paris, You'll enjoy it loads.

  • get that dan guy who filled in for tyler

  • Does Derek's Situation have anything to do with the "stalker" he was having trouble with a while back?

  • Scotty, thank you so much for relaying the info about Derek! Without you we were even more in the dark. Please tell your BF to give you a hug from me. You deserve it!

    <3

  • I don't want to bust Derek's ass cause even internet celebs deserve privacy. BUT, he did e-beg & accepted over $1000 from his fans for his new MacBook. You would think he could at least say thanks & good-bye? just sayin....

    Anyway find another hs boy because ppl in college just don't the time to vlog regularly.

  • The cool Dude be back. Yes.

  • Good luck to Derek. What about Jack (Juanito). I've always thought he'd be great.

  • Is Dereck ever going to be back??

  • So Josh Taylor from myday2day

    hes the best

  • Josh Taylor is heaps good. I so want to see him on here.

  • I would try to choose someone who actually wants to make videos and has the time to do so. Derek was a huge part of this channel because he was fairly consistant. I wish I knew what happened. I do worry about him and this is so freakin dramatic.

  • i really think that you guys should consider dantonn91.

    he's very unique in style and he got an amazing feedback from your subscribers.

    actually, if you look at the comments on the video he posted for tyler, A LOT of people said that they think he should be on the channel permanently.

  • Isn't he part of another collab channel already?

  • i still think he'd do it, he loves making videos and he loves the people on this channel.

  • dannton91

  • Holy shit. Derek deleted everything. He practically wiped himself off the internet. He even deleted his twitter.

    I really hope he's okay =S

  • i'll be your next sorta straight guy =DD

    i'm from southport in UK so yea would be fun ^^

    xx

  • Josh Taylor ftw

  • So Josh Taylor from myDay2day hes heaps good

  • Danton

  • DANTON!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DANTONN!!!!!!!!!

  • Scotty good to see ya bud<3 I wanted to weigh in on the choice for Derek's replacement. If he is interested, my vote would be for Will (shep689.) He is a classy guy, with an awesome sense of humor! P.S. Sorry for your situation Derek! I am sure everything will work out to be cool;) So, we'll see ya around Scotty<3

  • love ya bitch. :D

  • DANTON!

  • i live in florida too, i hear ya on the rain. its one extreme afer another. i miss michigan.

  • Ah Florida,the only state I've ever known where you can be attacked by a shark and struck by lightning in the same day!

    Honestly,I think dantonn1 would be a great replacement

    Or Carl,I remember everyone wanted him back a while ago

    But I'm sure y'all will make a great choice,and I'll love whoever you pick!

  • Many of the guys that fill in when some of you cannot do a video are great...any of them would be a good choice.

  • you should so get this guy called Josh Taylor hes the best. hes only new to youtube but funny.

    his channel is myday2day and hes an aussie

  • you guys so should have Josh Taylor hes the bomb

  • wow,so cool tosee ya again cutie,hehe you look awsome scotty,well anyone you get to replace derek,is fine,i trust your judgement,okay,love ya buddie,oh ya my b-day is april 24th,hint-hint,haha

  • There's this guy Earvin, ilritmodellapassione, he's really hot and cool and funny and just all around amazing, you should totally pick him.

  • I support that choice. earvin for president!

  • haha at :35 your leaving target

  • I liked carlkr, when he was on this channel, you guys should get him back...

  • I think you guys should hold open auditions, get a new face in there, even if you have to use temps for time being until you graduate and have time to run an audition.

  • Your trip sounds super fun! Take plenty of pictures! Safe travels! Oh totally make your vids over there (if have time from all the fun you'll be having)

    Good luck finding a derek replacement. If sue who ever it is they'll be great too. It's just unfortunate about the whole situation hopefully his break is not to long (we'll see)

  • Best news I have heard in a long time!

  • haha

  • Give Deihl a 2nd day...he's the most yummy!

  • Gotta say I'm going to miss Derek a lot. Thanks, Derek, for sharing your thoughts and part of your life with us. And best wishes - you deserve a future of much love and joy.

    Scottie - you are looking great and seem to have a good handle on things. Savor every moment in Paris - there is no place like it on earth. Check out the Musee d'Orsay, and try to walk across the Pont des Arts at or after sunset on a warm evening (if you have any warm evenings - no guaranty this time of year). Enjoy!!

  • I love that steering wheel cam. It gets great angles .

  • Good to see you back Scotty. And it's good to hear that Derek's ok. As for replacement suggestions, I haven't really been on here very long so I don't know of many people but I'd suggest either Caleb Kruzel or Martinw93. Alot of the other subs you guys have had were good too. Whoever you guys choose will be great I'm sure.

  • WTF? This is totally shocking news. Derek is gone? Did it involve some type of sexual indiscretion? Derek was the most popular person on the channel and there is no way he would leave out of the blue unless it involved some type of legal issue. Our prayers are with you buddy.

  • Have a good trip Scotty, I fly through Paris on the 27th.

    Derek must have had reasons, all we can do is wish him luck, and hope he comes back.

  • I hope Derek comes back to youtube :/ .. I'm really going to miss him being on here

    Well I think Eric would be an awesome replacements =)

    btw loves the glasses ^_^

  • I'll miss you Derek. Best of luck.

  • Definitely dantonn91. I'm glad to hear that everything's okay with Derek. I've been fretting over it since I found his channel closed.
