The Pals

The Pals were a YouTuber group active from 2012 to 2019 and consisted of 4 members: Denis (born: 1996), Alex (born: 1995), Sub (born: 1998), and Sketch (born: 1998), and formerly Corl (born: 1998). They mainly posted Roblox and Minecraft videos. 
For most of its tenure, the group had five members. The former fifth member was Corl, who was kicked out of the group in February 2019 after he insulted a fan of The Pals. The group later disbanded in June 2019 with the four remaining members: Denis, Alex, Sub and Sketch, all going on their separate channels.
==History==
The Pals were originally named "MayaTOOTS" but later changed their name to "SubZeroExtabyte" before changing their name again to "The Pals". The channel was created by Sub on January 24, 2012. During this time, Sub along with Sketch would post Minecraft machinimas and animations on the channel. 
Denis, Alex, and Corl joined the group later on, and Sketch left the group but later re-joined in September 2016. They made a series on Minecraft Hotel, a series on FNAF Origins, and a Roblox version of FNAF Origins. They focused on Roblox videos solely when Sketch re-joined the group. They also made the Minecraft series "PalsCraft". 
===Corl controversy and disbandment===
In early 2019, Corl would come under fire after he harassed a fan on Twitter. He sent a series of rude tweets directed toward the fan, resulting in his removal from The Pals. Angered, Corl's fans then sent hurtful messages to the fan, as they blamed her for Corl being kicked out. This led the fan to attempt suicide. Denis publicly stated on February 25, 2019 that Corl was no longer a member of The Pals.https://youtu.be/ZiviX6YHVVQ?t=279 The group subsequently went inactive on YouTube.
On June 28, 2019, Denis made a community post on the Pals' YouTube channel announcing that the group was disbanding.https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxYYje1QZr8YBeBlC54AaABCQ The four remaining members of the group would go on to pursue their own YouTube channels.
===Reunion===
On June 28, 2021, the 2 year anniversary of The Pals' official disbandment, Denis tweeted a screenshot of him, Alex, Sketch and Sub in the Minecraft Time SMP Server that was speculated to be a sign of the group's reunion.https://twitter.com/DenisDailyYT/status/1409532080363503624
On July 1, 2021, The Pals briefly reunited on a Minecraft Time SMP episode called "The Pals REUNION! - Minecraft Time SMP: Episode 23 - GRAND SHEEP RACING". However, Denis later stated that it doesn't mean that The Pals are getting back together.https://youtu.be/VR1e6XXTJ50?t=1052https://youtu.be/eVZM0g2EKsg
===SpaceX hacking===
On May 18, 2023, the Pals channel was hacked by a SpaceX scam stream, resulting in the privatization of every video on the Pals channel. On May 22, the channel was recovered and the videos were restored. In a tongue-in-cheek response to the hack, the channel updated their about page, adding "- and occasionally get hacked by Elon Musk."https://www.youtube.com/@ThePalsYT/about
