ha ha thanks Miles my HP touchpad to blame there

and no youtube channels dont shut down by themselves, the only possible way would be if the user was continually posting material that breached youtubes terms and conditions, I had one very popular KMX video that had over 250 thousand hits, I pulled that because I got an automatic audioswap as I was using copyrighted audio material, it kind of pissed me off so i pulled all the videos, esp as youtube were covering that videos with advertising too.
Its a great hobby this.. just great but its so full on it only takes a project to go wrong or a troll to wind you up in a post and its enough to make you want to go and do something else for a while, I dont think we have had any members yet that are no longer with us

not to my knowledge anyway.
