Well. Shocker.
Anyways, take refuge here. Odds are, we’ll start uploading stuff here, and will likely wait for a while to deal with Youtube. Them disabling the email you’re supposed to use in order to counterclaim makes it really hard to, y’know, counterclaim.
We don’t know how, and we don’t know how long, but the internet gods saw it fit to bring our channel back online.
Go forth and resubscribe, but know that this website’s where you should go should things go wrong again.
Alright, nobody panic. We can get through this. We just all need to take a couple deep breaths… You good? Good. Here’s the story, what we’ve got so far, and what we hope to do.
Episode 19 was apparently the last nail in our channel’s coffin, and it was hit due to the abundance of DragonForce music (Thanks a lot, Butterfree. Even in death you torture us!). Since Youtube connected Google accounts, the two were disabled simultaneously. The way we got our account back last time was by emailing them a counterclaim via the channel’s email. Back then, the Google accounts weren’t connected, so that was possible. Now that they’ve blocked the email (which, from my point of view, seems a tad unfair/illegal), this doesn’t look like a possibility, so I can’t promise PokemonAbridgedFTW will ever actually come back.
HOWEVER, we can rebuild. Pokemonstrosity is our current backup channel, but even then, we’re still under Youtube’s watchful eye, so how safe is that? Not very, I assure you. So what are our other options?
ITunes! That’s a great idea… but how will we host them? Our last host took them down for basically the same reason as Youtube. We could always use TheMented, but then again…
That’s right, folks. We’re going to try and set up BoxOfDanger.com to both stream our episodes for viewing, as well as set up an RSS Feed to make the show get back on iTunes. If we can manage that, we wouldn’t have to worry about Youtube/Blip.tv taking us down. Try and spread the word to the other fans on the internet and bring them here! We’ll still try to upload to Youtube via Pokemonstrosity, but odds are, once we get this site working at full speed, THIS will be the main hub for everything we do.
All we ask is that you be a little patient. ModernTenshi04 is working as fast as he can to get some stuff tested and up and running. Right now, all we can do is wait, and try and get as many people to come here for when we start putting content on the site.

Well, we told you it’d be out on the 6th, and we weren’t kidding. Here’s Pokémon the Abridged Series – Episode 19: Oh, How the Mighty Have Fallen.
To be completely honest, work for the next PTAS episode hasn’t quite started, but we do have some work done on the next Aminorphs, Hokuto No Ken Abridged, and 0083 Aridged scripts, so those should be on their way soon. Also, be sure to come visit us at Matsuricon if you happen to be in Ohio in August. As much as we love messing with you guys online, we really love meeting you (and messing with you) in person. We’ll surely have a panel that’ll be packed with hijinks as per usual, as well as showing some of our favorite abridgers’ episodes. Tell us what you think would be some good panel material HERE, as we’re always open to suggestions.
And, finally, I am looking for a way to fix the iTunes problem. Might take a while, but I think LordMoonstone over at TheMented will be our solution. Keep those fingers crossed, and Box of Danger might be back on an iPod near you!
Man, do I sound like a corporate pitch-guy, or what?
