Hello, I've been lurking here for a while (not just this thread, kf in general).
So I have a question, are there really no VODs from vinesaucevidya times that were saved & are available till this day?
Vinny has the
VineClassics playlist, which seems to contain a great deal of pre-Twitch VODs. Because of the way streams worked back then, you had to have Chatango open in one tab and the stream itself open in another, so it's very unlikely that any of the VODs will actually have Chatango visible and readable, but it's still from the same time period.
Vinny has also implied in the past that he has some recordings saved that are even older, potentially some of his earliest streams, but that he has no plans to upload them due to their quality (or lack thereof

). At a cursory glance, the oldest VODs in this playlist seem to be from 2012, around 2 years after he started streaming - that's quite old given how long he's been streaming.
There's also
VinesauceVinebits, which, though sparsely populated, has some pretty fantastic short clips (including one from Hootey, shockingly; should tell you how old the channel is). If memory serves, Joel actually runs this channel, but hasn't used it in god knows how long. By the same vein,
DemEngineerz used to semi-regularly upload highlights that didn't make it to Joel or Vinny's main channels, and he was most active during the Chatango days. There's some really great clips in here -
The Fall of Frooby is a personal favorite - and there are also some highlights from Fred, Hootey, and Rev in addition to the Vinny and Joel ones!
Old Joel VODs are particularly hard to find, though, since he's not as consistent with uploads as Vinny. If anyone is able to find old VODs from any of the streamers, please upload them - we could stand to archive that information.
