==Information==
===History===
Connor created his first YouTube channel, called "Clix," in 5th grade under his school account. On this channel, he would post very low-quality Roblox-related videos. The channel was later removed due to the linked account being terminated by the school (what all schools do after you leave). He then created another YouTube channel in 2015 under the name "Clix." He started out streaming the well-known game Minecraft (2015). 
Later, after being asked by viewers, late in 2015, he began streaming the game Roblox. The first Roblox game he streamed was called "Treasure Hunt Simulator." This game became very popular on his channel. He would stream it for a solid month before moving on to another topic.
At the end of 2017, Connor started doing Robux giveaways to help bring in new viewers and get his channel started. These giveaways were provided by one of his early subs, "Kevinplays." He would keep doing these milestone giveaways while streaming up until the end of 2018, where he moved to doing content that's more like what's seen today.

After making a second channel called Official Clix 2 and getting that channel to have 1.2k subscribers. YouTube finally got back to Connor and gave his channel a second chance on June 20, 2020.

== History Of The "Clix" Username ==
The idea for the "Clix" username came from a play on words on the word click. Because you did, in fact, click the "like" and "subscribe" buttons, as Connor stated. However, the term "clicks" would have been overused and is too common. So he went with Clix. In 2015, he opened the Clix YouTube channel, becoming the first gameplay YouTuber on the platform to use the name
In 2018, another YouTuber thought it would be smart of him to "steal" the name and use it for himself. In a video posted by Connor called "Clix Stole My Username!!". He outlines how the other dude knowingly took his name, refused to note it was a trademark violation, and tried to say that the law didn't apply to him when he stole the name because he was a kid (13 at the time).
As of right now, all legal rights to the brand name Clix are held by Connor McQuillan under class 41 of the United States Trademark Act, filed under Clix LLC, which was founded. November 14, 2015.
=== Accuses Cody Conrad Of Brand Thief (2022) ===
On November 12, 2022, Connor released a video titled "Clix STOLE My Username!!" which went into great details about how Cody apparently knew of his channel before making his socials in 2017. The video also showed proof that Cody was asked to change his username more than once by larger content creators before he became popular. Each time Cody claimed, "he was 13 at the time, and laws do not apply to him". The video gained some popularity to the point where Cody reacted to the video live Infront of 23,000 people on twitch attempting to never heard of the other Connor. Although more than one content creators came out later to claim They messaged Cody about it before, proving this claim, to not know of him, to be false. YouTubers such as Straw, Snug Life, and Team Panda all informed Cody of his brand thief as early as 2018. Each time someone contacted Cody he claimed one of the following. "There can be two Clix's" "I'm more popular so laws do not apply to me" "I was too young at the time to know about laws regarding trademarks". The video showed enough information that Cody's manager Feldy messaged the other clix on Instagram requesting no legal action be taken against their brand for violation of his trademark.
