You almost got me.  You Tube is another big moneymaker for Google so it makes sense that it wouldn't shut down!  LOL

I am sure it was only a joke!!

Definitely an April Fools joke.
There's no way YouTube would get shut down...not now anyhow, it's still way too huge of a website.

Sure it was an April Fools joke, but watch this thread and you will see how many people bite. It amazes me how many leave comments and obviously don't bother to read the rest of the comments before them.

Well, I tend to believe this may be BS.  When I clicked the above link, it already said that the "video cannot be played because youtube has been shut down."  Go to youtube, and poof!  There you are!

PS:  This was an "April Fool's" prank played by youtube.  Hehehehehehe - GOTCHA!!!!

I'm confused...So was it a April Fool's joke, or what?

Great april fool's joke.  I got my young kids mad when I told them that school was shut down for another week after spring break due to a water main break.  They were quite mad at me when they realized I was pranking.

Aw man, I couldn't think of any good tricks this year. This was a good one. I'm sure a lot of people were bummed. The cat video reference is funny. It seems like that is all people do on YouTube lol. Nice April fool.

Just like a few years ago when I claimed that Kohler was selling FC... Even tho you caught on almost immediately, there were still several posts from people worrying about the "news". Good one!  :thumbsup:

I heard on N.P.R. that this was an April Fool's prank.  I checked yesterday and You Tube was working just fine.

I didn't even view the link posted. This is first time I've heard about it too. But I figure, it's nothing more than a prank being played on anyone & everyone. I won't believe it until it actually happens, IF it were to even be considered. Nice try though.  :P  :wave:

Wow, oldbuddy, I think your point is well proven.  Even after your 2nd post in this thread it continued...wow...amazing.

I remember that and it was the same thing then. Even after the jig was up and the joke was uncovered, a few posts later the thread turned right back to comments proving they had not read the previous ones. I never realized how eager some people are to grab a dime and miss out on the real fun that can be enjoyed on this Forum, not to mention the lucrative benefit a good image can produce in the long run.

Did anyone hear about the Florida radio April fools joke???
Title: Re: YouTube is Shutting Down!
Post by: bigfoot951 on April 05, 2013, 01:27:04 pm
My first thought here was that someone was just misinformed because I am as sure as I can be that won't happen.  Then of course I saw the date on which this was posted.  Not a very good april fools joke if it doesn't work. lol   Not a bad one though.
