It is archived on the WayBack Machine at least. However, I don't know who else knows this, but Kris Starring's YouTube account is also gone. I was subscribed and for one day it turned into a SpaceX stream channel, all the logos were gone, and then the whole account disappeared. I still don't know what happened, if he was hacked or what, but there's some reuploads of his stuff but I am just really sad and confused.

(The archived KRS Logos page also reminded me Nelvana Surprise 10.0 is lost media, probably forever, and that was one of my favorite logo vids of the Yahoo CLG days ever. :( )

Oh yes, it sounds like his account has been hacked. Cryptocurrency scammers have been hacking the accounts of YouTube creators, deleting all of their videos and then putting up livestreams of bitcoin trading/get-rich-quick-scheme conference calls/discussions on the affected channels. A few other victims I can think of off the top of my head -- Billiam, ScareTheater, Meatballstudio, etc. This article from Wired has more info: https://www.wired.com/story/youtube-bitcoin-scam-account-hijacking-google-phishing/.

This has been happening a lot lately, and in any event, this is a definitely a BIG blow to YouTube content.

Another reason why, should I ever make my own miniseries adaptation, Archive.org and Miraheze itself are getting more promising by the season... (I proclaimed something similar back when I had a Google+ feed.)

Just so you know, the KRS site has already been back for several weeks now. If it's offline again, I or someone else will remind you.
