He helped me come to terms and learn that I was bisexual. I just thought of his videos today and he's gone :'( I miss him a lot & your so right , I feel like I did know him because of his videos; he was such an inspiration who will be dearly missed. On a side note your hella cute XD-3
The year he went missing he was put into this thing called ARK which is basically teen rehab.
And when he returned he just thought 'Other peoples sexuality just wasn't his business' and he felt that 'People have to deal with their own demons' not him
So i recently Found out why he left Youtube, while i was talking to him on Webcam on Stickam. but i cant really tell you, unless you Private message me.
he was the one who made me realize who i am. i realized i was bisexual on december 26 2008. i remember watching every video of his on my road trip to gatlinburg tn. and that was like the most amazing few days of my life. i remember feeling so clear and all knowing of myself. and he gave me that. and know. i cant relive that. im only 18. but it feels like i lost some one i loved and i didnt even get to meet him. trayce. ill miss you. and your more than just a cute face. your a leader.
trayce is coming back! (sort of) hes going to be in a video with this guy called chris ball, one of his friends, and it will explain where hes been. it was on his facebook, which he has started using again. so excited :D.
@Nikoliso5 im not sure. a friend of his posted several photos of him and trayce with the caption "screencaps from my next project that will explain where Trayce has been". but he didnt say when he will release it.. and trayce started talking to his fans and stuff on facebook again.
I'm sad he deleted his YouTube. I've followed him for so long and it's so sad to see him gone, but it was his choice. Today, I was listening to a song and decided to look up a video of his, but he's gone. I'll miss his videos.
I was just getting interested in his videos when he left. :/ I hope he has a nice life and thank you to him for his videos. :) (And I agree with clownbovenizer, your eyes are gorgeous. :) How can no one have complimented you on them before?)
Late response, but I agree. It is sad that he left. When I was down I could watch some of his videos and they'd pick me right back up. But I think you could be like him and you could make an impact too :) by the way... I LOVE the hair :)
Trayce was one of the biggest inspirations in my life, when I was first coming to terms with my bisexuality. I'm only realizing in this very moment that he's gone for good, and it hurts. I'm crying, because he's honestly my hero. He helped me through a dark place, and I will never forget him for that. If he ever read this, I want him to know that, and that I wish him all the best in finding his happiness in life.
Damn, i would miss that kid, but i used to watch this kid ever since 14. he really helped me tho.he was such a high spirited person. you will be missed where ever you are.
Trace was a huge inspiration to me, especially when i was going through middle school. Middle school was a really hard time for me, im just 13 year old bisexual boy trying get by without getting gay bashed constantly. I think california has the highest rate for gay bashing, theres so much preps here its not even funny. Anyways, thanks to trace ive become a better person than i was a year ago. He really bosted my confidence, and im mentally bulletproof. Thank you Trace.
I'd hate to sound like a dick, but I live just a few hours away from trayce, and know 8 people who know him personally. APPARENTLY in person he's a dick, just a straight up jerk. You have seen the face he put on for youtube, but even in some of the videos, you could tell, he has a high ego. For him deleting his account, he's grown up, he's not a little kid and anymore and he probably was just annoyed with the people bugging him online.
Awww I was wondering why I hadn't seen him post any videos lately. He was such an inspiration to not only the young LBGT community but anyone who is struggling to come to terms with their sexuality. You are right he could've at least said goodbye but maybe somethings happened in his own personal life. Trayce we really miss you and from the bottom of my heart wish you all the happiness. We hope to see you again on Youtube sometime.
@PlightOfLogic I'm sorry that there are a bunch of hateful comments on here because of IDontCare1's comment... but this video was awesome thanks for it... trayce shaw helped me a lot
@IDontCare1 okay I'm a lesbian so you already pissed me off... but you do know that gay bashing is against the law.. which includes bisexuals, and transgenders... mmkay.... ohh and by the way Fuck You(:
@DimLantern you're an idiot! by him sharing his thoughts and feelings it helped alot of people figure out who they were, including myself. I was questioning myself a few years go and by watching his videos i figured outwho i was. he helped me and many others. if you didnt get it thats on you but i miss him and wish he had left his videos, but he has every right to move on in his own way. Trayce, if you are some how reading this. we will all miss you and i thank ou for all of your help
@kcb1995 ok! first watch you're language! and second! just becausehe used his shitty experience doesnt mean he deserves to die. he helped a ton of people and no matter what yo say is going to change that. you're an ass! yes there are alot of troubled teens, but it is people like trayce who help hose troubled teens get ou of their rut. and third i dont believe you are gay cause if you were you wouldn't call yourself a "fag" im sorry you're insecure but dont put trayce down for helping people!
@PlightOfLogic i know he's not but trayce is an if someone is gonna say something against one of the most helpful teens i can think of they need to be told whats right.
I wish he'd just never used that YouTube again or made a video saying he just won't be using YouTube anymore & still kept the videos on it. Because he made great videos that helped many including me. :\
@IDontCare1 you r a complete asshole and y wud u ever say that we r people with feelings an being who we r isnt wrong at all. I am above u so im NOT gonna tell u 2 point the gun 2 ur head because nobody deserves that end just fuck off and dont comment on things u dont like i am bi and i luv an exept myself 4 who i am I think u need 2 go and sort out ur problems
OMFG I though that Trayce is some politician! wtf are you faggots blabling about?
Want help ? my advice you:Take a gun,point it to your head & think the following through:"Do I like poeple of my own gender?" If it's still yes,shoot yourself,if not...you MIGHT be worthy to live!
@lDontCare1 You insignificant, ignorant insect. Your hate is not welcome here. You're failure to process rational coherent thought is an evident paradigm of your inability to function like a proper, civilised human
I was one of those 24,000 people.... I'm not afraid anymore. I love myself :) I don't think I'm a freak for being bi. I feel exactly how you feel bro :)
im pretty down too /: he helped me a lot too... and the real thing that hurts is that we cant watch his videos anymore... especially the ppl that will come into this world and might need to see his videos...
I can't believe that he just abandoned us without notice or saying goodbye. The first time i found out that he deleted his account... i was i SHOCK. Until now, i can't believe it. i still haven't finiahed wathing his videos, i'm just halfway from the lateat video which is hia band mates saying trayce is really busy etc... But half of those videos helped me a lot and made me who i am right now. He could just say he can't continue it anymore but why delete it? I still got that twisted feeling ins
What is sad is that I had only found trayce a few months before he left. It hurts because his videos gave me and others a little hope in life. He cared without knowing who we are. I am sad because I am still wishing he would come back. I can say that many people are just as upset as I am.. I wish him good luck in life and hope to see him again..
so what exactly happened to him? maybe he got hi tby a airplane O_0 or not...
but i miss him :( or maybe he got eaten by a unicorn :P ok, im being stupid now... but he really helped me too! and when he stopped making videos i thought he would eventually come back, but NO he just leaves! >.< he was a good guy <3
@JoshOfficialMusic I wonder if this is the "explanation" he said way "in order" and we would "soon see," because it tells us nothing about why he left youtube, or what he means by "farewell for some of you, a new beginning for others."
I only discovered his channel a few months back, when I was still struggling to accept myself. By that point, years had passed. He had already grown up and was already inactive. But numerous videos of his helped me through tough nights. What he has done for so many people will NEVER be forgotten. He will always be loved. I wish him luck and happiness in his life as it continues. It is sad to see him go, but what he did was plenty, and others will continue to do the same.
I'm right there with you bro. Trayce helped me a helluva a lot! Thank you for putting this video out on our behalf. I love that Canadian bastard lol. Gli auguro così come il meglio. Grazie compagno Trayce, non dimenticheremo.
ok uhm...i'm talking to trayce right now via msn and i asked him why he deleted his account here's the conversation: Me: hey trayce :) you might have been asked that a thousand times so here's 1001: what happened to your youtube-channel? Trayce: Long Story haha Me: then tell it :D Trayce: NOPE Me: you are such a grinch :D Trayce: NO YOU'RE A TOWEL Me: i like towels :D what kind of towel? ---so that was pretty much it haha :P seems like he doesn't want to talk about it...:/
wow that sucks that he just deleted his youtube account he gave the best advice about everything to coming out and all of the things in between. I haven't seen his videos in so long and just typed him in and this video came up I'm glad I watched it and I would like to say thank you so much trayce shaw for your awesome videos. Also to esperanza407 its really cool that you made this video.
People often feel tht they have to move on to show to them-selves that they are not "trapped by things." ..That they do not have to hold on to their "childhood" or any other favorite thing for-ever.
I feel exactly the same way but like you said it is his life...I'm just glad I got to watch all of his videos before he took them down,he helped me sooo much and he was one(if not the only) person I really looked up to...and I don't even know the guy!
It makes me so sad that he left...He gave me good advice, he helped me through the pain, ache and tears! I wish he comes back, but if he has to move on, it's probablly the best....But I hope you Plight can help me thanks so much!
I'm not privy to any more information than anyone else, but I've often wondered if something bad happened. I've known people who had it together and then they got into drugs or whatever it may be, and then their life just goes off track.
Whatever the case may be, the torch is certainly in good hands with people such as yourself.
@pvampire I assure you, he is ok. I've been in contact with close friends of his, he is fine - He just needs to.. get back on track. As far as I know, his youtube days are over - But he is ok.
@pvampire He didn't explain it, but we did find out what happened at least. The poor kid was being harassed and threatened by an internet stalker. It scared him off of YouTube.
@PurpleHoneyBear Who's "he"? And how do you know this? I doubt that's actually what happened. If that were the case, Trayce would probably continue videos and tell everyone how much of a dick that stalker was, and he defiantly wouldn't stop for a year and then close his account.
No one really knows, but I think it's just not who he is anymore, or maybe he has other priorities he needs to take care of.
@Aleex490 "He" refers to Derek. I wasn't referring to Trayce, I was responding to someone who made a point about another YouTuber that deleted his account and stopped making vidieos.
All I want is one interview with Trayce Shaw! I will not rest until I have one!!! There is alot of questions looming about and one interview can answer those questions. I can have it recorded and put on YouTube. People call me crazy he owes it to himself and the fans he unexpectedly left behind.
It's important for all of us to be sensitive and understanding -- we have no idea what his extenuating circumstances are.
Anyway, nicely put. This is my first time viewing your channel but I think you handle the issues you confront very intelligently -- your measured, articulate style is something a lot of well-intentioned people our age lack!
I was going through my old favorites just now and noticed all of his videos didn't come up, and then YouTube told me that this users account has been deleted. My heart literally broke. It feels like he's gone missing, or just... never existed. He meant and means so much to me, it hurts so much that he's gone. We all need some sort of closure.
Hmm.... this is random, but something i've noticed is that people seem to subscribe to Trayce for different reasons that they subscribe to other youtubers. It's almost as if all of his subscribers were like... infatuated with him or something. A few comments left on his fan vids as to why he closed his account stood out to me as being border-line obsessive. Honestly, I don't blame him for closing his account. :-/
Trayce Shaw abandoned all his subs without even a goodbye:( it was great while his channel lasted i'm sorry he deleted such wonderful videos. i hope you want do the same to us someday
@Startme1UP No, I'd never do something like that. Trayce and I are two different people with different mind-sets and different ways of dealing with situations :)
@PlightOfLogic i'm sorry if it seemed as if i were implying that you'd just up and delete your account without so much as a bye! Like Trayce did his subs for whatever his reason wrong is wrong. And yea i know it was his account to do with as he wanted to but that doesn't make it right. Still i have NO ill will against Trayce he earned his subs with witty and touching videos. i'm just a little bit put out by the way he just vanished without a Trace.
I've been looking for just one full video of his that maybe a fan uploaded on their channel and I can't find one. I miss him so much! He helped me through so much. I can relate to this video of yours alone and I subscribed. I loved who Trayce was - the part of him that he let us see. <3
i feel exactly the same way, trayce helped me so much with my sexuality, and i feel like something is missing now that he is gone. although i know its his life, i really wish he did something more than just leaving us in the dark. glad i found you though, i feel like i cant relate to you even more than trayce, and were both australian. ^.^
He helped me come to terms and learn that I was bisexual. I just thought of his videos today and he's gone :'( I miss him a lot & your so right , I feel like I did know him because of his videos; he was such an inspiration who will be dearly missed. On a side note your hella cute XD-3

@JoshOfficialMusic I wonder if this is the "explanation" he said way "in order" and we would "soon see," because it tells us nothing about why he left youtube, or what he means by "farewell for some of you, a new beginning for others."

I only discovered his channel a few months back, when I was still struggling to accept myself. By that point, years had passed. He had already grown up and was already inactive. But numerous videos of his helped me through tough nights. What he has done for so many people will NEVER be forgotten. He will always be loved. I wish him luck and happiness in his life as it continues. It is sad to see him go, but what he did was plenty, and others will continue to do the same.

People often feel tht they have to move on to show to them-selves that they are not "trapped by things." ..That they do not have to hold on to their "childhood" or any other favorite thing for-ever.

I feel exactly the same way but like you said it is his life...I'm just glad I got to watch all of his videos before he took them down,he helped me sooo much and he was one(if not the only) person I really looked up to...and I don't even know the guy!

I'm not privy to any more information than anyone else, but I've often wondered if something bad happened. I've known people who had it together and then they got into drugs or whatever it may be, and then their life just goes off track.
Whatever the case may be, the torch is certainly in good hands with people such as yourself.

@pvampire I assure you, he is ok. I've been in contact with close friends of his, he is fine - He just needs to.. get back on track. As far as I know, his youtube days are over - But he is ok.

@pvampire He didn't explain it, but we did find out what happened at least. The poor kid was being harassed and threatened by an internet stalker. It scared him off of YouTube.
PurpleHoneyBear 8 months ago
@PurpleHoneyBear Who's "he"? And how do you know this? I doubt that's actually what happened. If that were the case, Trayce would probably continue videos and tell everyone how much of a dick that stalker was, and he defiantly wouldn't stop for a year and then close his account.
No one really knows, but I think it's just not who he is anymore, or maybe he has other priorities he needs to take care of.
Aleex490 8 months ago
@Aleex490 "He" refers to Derek. I wasn't referring to Trayce, I was responding to someone who made a point about another YouTuber that deleted his account and stopped making vidieos.

All I want is one interview with Trayce Shaw! I will not rest until I have one!!! There is alot of questions looming about and one interview can answer those questions. I can have it recorded and put on YouTube. People call me crazy he owes it to himself and the fans he unexpectedly left behind.

It's important for all of us to be sensitive and understanding -- we have no idea what his extenuating circumstances are.
Anyway, nicely put. This is my first time viewing your channel but I think you handle the issues you confront very intelligently -- your measured, articulate style is something a lot of well-intentioned people our age lack!

@SmokeyMaddeAndCo It isn't that he doesn't care, it was simply too overwhelming for him. He has to sort things out in his OWN life. :)

I was going through my old favorites just now and noticed all of his videos didn't come up, and then YouTube told me that this users account has been deleted. My heart literally broke. It feels like he's gone missing, or just... never existed. He meant and means so much to me, it hurts so much that he's gone. We all need some sort of closure.

Hmm.... this is random, but something i've noticed is that people seem to subscribe to Trayce for different reasons that they subscribe to other youtubers. It's almost as if all of his subscribers were like... infatuated with him or something. A few comments left on his fan vids as to why he closed his account stood out to me as being border-line obsessive. Honestly, I don't blame him for closing his account. :-/
Jynx215 8 months ago
@Jynx215 I know exactly what you mean.. I've seen the comments, and the tribute videos. It'd be a big slap in the face.

@PlightOfLogic i'm not exactly sure i know what you mean.
what I meant was that if I were Trayce I just wouldn't feel comfortable with someone obsessing over me.
could you explain what you meant?

Trayce Shaw abandoned all his subs without even a goodbye:( it was great while his channel lasted i'm sorry he deleted such wonderful videos. i hope you want do the same to us someday

@Startme1UP No, I'd never do something like that. Trayce and I are two different people with different mind-sets and different ways of dealing with situations :)
PlightOfLogic 8 months ago
@PlightOfLogic i'm sorry if it seemed as if i were implying that you'd just up and delete your account without so much as a bye! Like Trayce did his subs for whatever his reason wrong is wrong. And yea i know it was his account to do with as he wanted to but that doesn't make it right. Still i have NO ill will against Trayce he earned his subs with witty and touching videos. i'm just a little bit put out by the way he just vanished without a Trace.

i feel exactly the same way, trayce helped me so much with my sexuality, and i feel like something is missing now that he is gone. although i know its his life, i really wish he did something more than just leaving us in the dark. glad i found you though, i feel like i cant relate to you even more than trayce, and were both australian. ^.^
