Man, this easily the site's worst running gag to date. To be fair, he's been hosting Sad Panda, Lup and Welshy's videos for a while now so maybe he's trying to start his own thing.

Not surprising on his part.
He posts pretty consistently on his site and it's way as hell behind on Channel Awesome.

I'm a big fan of the Cinema Snob, to the point where sometimes I'll go back and watch old episodes. It was great. I could just scroll down the screen and find something I would be interested in. And with the new Channel Awesome set up, you can't do that.
As others have said, this might be a sinking ship here. Also, i know just go the Cinema Snob site to get updates there.

I'm even more pleased about this than I was to hear about the Nostalga Chick leaving. Guy does absolutely nothing for me as entertainment
Maybe NC has realised that most of the reviewers on the site are s*** and is clearing the decks

#SpoonyWasRight
To explain, Spoony mentioned when he left/got kicked out that he actually didn't see an increase of views on videos when the site hosted his videos. It eventually got to the point where people would just pick their set favorites.

And his videos have already been removed from the site. Well that was quick.

Looks like it wasn't even Phelous' request either

I liked Phelous's bootleg toy reviews and normally find them hilarious (they suck when Allison gets involved, though). However, I just always go to his site to watch them, so him leaving Channel Awesome doesn't bother me in the least. The only reviewers I watch on Channel Awesome are Linkara, Cinema Snob, and The Nostalgia Critic, and any more I go to Linkara and Cinema Snob's own sites for their updates, while losing interest in a lot of stuff Doug has been doing of late. I'm afraid my time and fandom of Channel Awesome has pretty much come to an end. It was a fun ride while it lasted. I might catch something Doug does if it's something I'm interested in, but other than that, I probably won't go there any more.

Doug and Linkara are the only people I'm interested in on Channel Awesome these days, so long as they stick around I'm good.

Never liked him, his voice, or his over the top meta bull crap. Was sorry to see Nostalgia Chick go though. Always liked her, especially when she was doing stuff with Mara Wilson.

The new site layout is awful and makes it much harder to browse through videos.

So at this point which big names are left?
NC, Linkara, Cinema Snob and Todd are all I can really think of.

It eventually got to the point where people would just pick their set favorites. I think rather than an issue of quality, this might be the biggie. If you're above a certain level of fanbase, the CA model might not really benefit you., particularly if your fans are mainly there to see you, which in some cases is how it is for people. I don't know that we ought to be worried for CA, but it may mean the "star power" might drop, with potentially smaller people brought in or spots not replaced.
