Blender Underground extends a sincere thank you to two field agents, Alan Whinery and Joe Hamner, for their direct action in mirroring Blender Underground’s video tutorials to help take the load off of our host. Their bravery and self sacrifice has assured us yet another victory against The Man.
You can find links to the new mirrors on our Video Tutorials page: Blender Underground Video Tutorials
Come on in to the forums and say thanks: Thanks to Joe Hamner and Alan Whinery

Greetings!
I’m so sorry for this site… This was my favourite at the time it opened, and I could hardly wait for the upcoming Video Tutorial, I visited it more than once a day, I wanted to be the first who gets the next video, I was always thirsty for more… Frankly, I learnt almost everything I know now about Blender, from those, your videos.
It’s sad to see that this Grate site, your Excellent videos, and your name, Apollos, is going to be forgot. I’m checking back rarelier and rarelier every time, and maybe, this is may last visit. I’m leaving the sinking ship sadly before you, Captain Apollos.
I don’t want this to be the last time I heard about you! You could make a lot out of this.

Alas, that I had 80 or 120 hours to put in making another video tutorial, wizek, so that you would not be so disappointed! BU is in dry dock anyway, so no danger of sinking. Could BU be “so much more?” Certainly, if I could make a living at it, or had any interest in doing so.
I’ll let my tutorials to date speak for themselves. Sorry if I can’t provide you with another free lesson right now, wizek, but I’m diverting all my efforts into my own education. I have no regrets for doing so.
Don’t be afraid to take the torch yourself, and give back to the community by picking up where I have left off.
Just to note, last month BU delivered more than 250 gigabytes of video tutorials to the public — and this doesn’t include resource mirrors, viddler streaming, torrents, text tutorials, and forums.
Most comments I see, especially externally, look something like this:

You’re certainly welcome to forget my name wizek. If I ever get the time and motivation to produce another tutorial, you can download it for free here: http://blenderunderground.com/video-tutorials/
P.S. This post was a tribute for two individuals who helped us out in our time of need. I wish you’d picked another thread to complain into. 8)
