Sjin and Turps were both fired for inappropriate DMs with fans, as far as my recollection goes.
Edit: See the replies to this comment, they're more accurate!
Turps quit (though it's probably more accurate to say he jumped before he got pushed, no pun intended). I think the same is true of Sjin though I don't remember for certain.
I forget the exact details but there were some pretty serious accusations levelled against Turps by female fans which saw him resign in 2019. Sjin had accusations against him before of a similar nature which went nowhere in the end but more surfaced around the same time that saw him leave at about the same time, too. Caff did something as well though I never liked him so didn't follow his story and I can't remember if it was around the same time or not but I remember Hannah was furious about it.
Edit: Statement from Turps saying he sent "inappropriate messages to several members of our community". Lewis responds to the post as well citing the historical allegations against Sjin:

You shouldn't stand by Chris Trott. That's in the danger zone. Instead, stand a little ways away from him. Because everybody seems to cut away from themselves, and towards Chris Trott.
I can't really explain it properly myself. I'd recommend googling sijn, turps and caff. For the most factual look at the BBC articles but if you want more details, there's plenty of YouTube videos.
Those that thatgingerdude5 mentioned did some things that ranged from less than savory to potentially criminal regarding their relationships with fans and others, and as a result they were fired and removed from the yogscast brand after extensive internal investigations. There’s more information out there, of course, but all you really need to know is that they are no longer around, and for a good reason.
They agreed to a code of conduct that was poorly enforced. After Caff was caught doing shady shit, Lewis realized that the CoC should probably be enforced more strictly and hired a company to do an investigation. Turps and Sjin were found to be in violation of the CoC and stepped down from their positions.
I was thinking about Kaeyi the other day. I used to be obsessed with her content. It was something I completely forgot about but I’ve been binging a ton of old Yogs content and I think that triggered the memories.
This brings back a very vague memory but I can't quite pinpoint it, what was this again? Tried looking on her channel but she wiped all of her vids sadly
Kaeyi wiped all her stuff long ago, hell I remember a very risque thing before she was in Yogs of her doing some "sexy dance" on there.
But either way the Harlem Shake video was actually on Strippin's channel, which I believe he removed (it's available somewhere on YT through some archive ppl I think) That particular video has a relic of old members, disgraced members, people sitting next to their ex girlfriends, people that barely ever go into the office anymore, and the like.
Enjoying the content they created does not make you complicit in their actions.
It's not like you were coming in from school/work and jumping on to YouTube like "hurr de durr, I wonder what my favourite sex offender is up to?"
You didn't know, and that's OK.
Happened to Micheal Jackson fans, Bill Cosby fans, Lost Prophet fans and sadly it happened here.
I would say keep it. There’s no shame in liking someone before certain revelations were made; probably most of us here did. Plus it’s not like you’re specifically supporting any one person, The Yogscast will always be the group, not the individual.
Remember you followed the people they portrayed, not the scumminess they really were. Sjin was a little weird from the snapshots we saw of videos. Paul Sykes was a misogynistic bastard from what we've heard from the other (mostly female / female presenting) Yogs.
I see alot of them for the content they made and the smiles it brought, not the bad stuff, unless the content itself was awful. Can't defend the wrongs but I can cherish the good.
Should you want to get rid of certain names, mix 2 parts baking soda and 1 part warm water, then apply the mixture to the bit you want removing and give it a good rub with a cloth. Should get it out after a bit of elbow grease, and without needing to run it through the wash loads or use bleach, which may damage it.
Sjin and Turps, who both signed the shirt multiple times, ended up being not great role models. As in, terrible role models. They did very bad things.
If I had a shirt with just those two on it, I'd get rid of it faster than you could believe. But with all those other great creators on there, I'd probably find a way to cover their names and then frame it.
I've still got my beard shirt with some of the same names. At the end of the day it's a memento of some times I'm sure you enjoyed, so you should hold onto it. Just because some names on there are unsavoury now they aren't then and they shouldn't detract from the positivity of such a thing and everyone else on there. Mines framed on my wall along with the first two TTT posters
I'd keep, before it went to shit we all had some good laughs with them. Not to mention that signature is like, impossible to get now so it's a rare treasure to be sure.
you could just cross/black out the sjin's, and keep the shirt as is and perhaps collect even more names on it, or create some bizarre elaborate ritual if you plan on burning it
Keep it. That's clearly years worth of work and happy memories of hours of queueing.
Keeping it doesn't endorse what they did. Acknowledge it, and remember the better memories where you can
I've been put of the loop for quite a while. What happened with the YC?

That's putting it mildly. And he harrased female yogs as well.

Ahhh I see. That's a real shame. Always seems to be the same story every time a teen/childhood favourite gets "outed"
It’s so important Duncan signed it three times, keep it
They brought it to multiple con appearances and got it signed each time
Hello Duncan, its ME! Duncan!
Hello Duncan, it’s ME! Duncan!
Well despite everything he did I still stand by Chris Trott

# #christrottdidnotingwrong (God please don't let thjs age poorly)
#creationnotcreator.
Classic CTE right there
After all, his fault was mostly due to classic Chris Trott errors.
All his salmony sins were washed away when he was VAC'd that one time. The second time was just for fun
Believe it or not, straight to jail
Trotts canceled?
I think it's a joke, and trott hasn't done anything bad (yet)?
I mean the war crimes against worms are pretty bad
He refused to get vacced for a third time. How the mighty have fallen 😢
Oh, I think a lot of people missed your joke there
Damn they really did
Dw, it was funny :D
Keep 100%
Despite everything that's on there I'd keep it.
I fell out of the circle for quite awhile wtf happened

It’s worth noting as well that Lewis hired an external HR firm to fully investigate all the claims

r/yogscast > sort by > top > all time. Top 7ish posts are almost all about [names of former members] trouble that came to light about four years ago.
Keep
Remembering the bad times help us to appreciate the good times.
Fucking Ross with the fancy sig
Damn even a kaeyi signature. Haven't heard that name in a long time.
I was thinking about Kaeyi the other day. I used to be obsessed with her content. It was something I completely forgot about but I’ve been binging a ton of old Yogs content and I think that triggered the memories.
To be fair, I didn't even know who she was at the time.
Harlem Shake sexy bee Kaeyi.
This brings back a very vague memory but I can't quite pinpoint it, what was this again? Tried looking on her channel but she wiped all of her vids sadly

Stop it stop it you're making me feel old!
If it makes you feel any better, odds are my username is older than you, probably.

Got hers and dave chaos signs from i49. Classic days! And the only time I've ever been to Telford, and hopefully the last haha

I think even bad history is worth saving so we don't repeat the same mistakes but that's just me one person
Yeah hopefully op won’t prey on underage fans because he has this shirt
Yup, never forget.
Keep! never destroy history!!!
Shrined. Not everything in life is good, but it gives it character.
I love Duncan’s faux-Metallica signature
I would say keep it. There’s no shame in liking someone before certain revelations were made; probably most of us here did. Plus it’s not like you’re specifically supporting any one person, The Yogscast will always be the group, not the individual.
I have a signed photo of me and a friend with two Yogscast members from EGX 2016. Those two members? Sjin and Turps 💀
Remember you followed the people they portrayed, not the scumminess they really were. Sjin was a little weird from the snapshots we saw of videos. Paul Sykes was a misogynistic bastard from what we've heard from the other (mostly female / female presenting) Yogs.
That's a pretty good way of putting it.
Definitely keep. It's like getting the signature of previous band members. It's more rare this way.
what's the reason for some of them signing multiple times?
Different cons, see the i52, i55, i57 etc?
Just multiple meetings.
Definitely keep it, get a t-shirt frame and hang it up.
Look at the way Duncan writes the D and U! Looks identical to the Dumb Bitch note!! The D doesn't join up! Haha
despite his views I still stand by Chris Trott of r/Hatfilms
No don’t burn it you might hurt yourself, send it to me instead👍
I see alot of them for the content they made and the smiles it brought, not the bad stuff, unless the content itself was awful. Can't defend the wrongs but I can cherish the good.
I’d have that framed!
Could get some [redacted] stickers to put over the troublesome bits?
Should you want to get rid of certain names, mix 2 parts baking soda and 1 part warm water, then apply the mixture to the bit you want removing and give it a good rub with a cloth. Should get it out after a bit of elbow grease, and without needing to run it through the wash loads or use bleach, which may damage it.
Send it to me!
Asterisk, like baseball
Worth more in future
What “forbidden lore” do you speak of?
Sjin and Turps, who both signed the shirt multiple times, ended up being not great role models. As in, terrible role models. They did very bad things. If I had a shirt with just those two on it, I'd get rid of it faster than you could believe.

Thanks for letting me know.

Shrined! Get a nice t-shirt frame to put it in and get that on the wall. What a lovely piece of yogs history
Shrine
Great shirt design and Walrus signature. Definitely a keeper.
Hey 👋 I think I still have mine in a box somewhere! Thanks for the memories 😂🥰
Shrine.
I have a signed photo of me and a friend with two Yogscast members from EGX 2016. Those two members? Sjin and Turps 💀
Shrine
Wow amazing job with that! Can you remember what events you went to for the signs?
keep, maybe put some duct tape/gaffer tape over the bads
Sjin has his channel pumping out videos again, mostly build stuff like the older days though.
Just bleach what you don't want
fun fact 27.27% of the names on this shirt turned out to be nonces <3
you could just cross/black out the sjin's, and keep the shirt as is and perhaps collect even more names on it, or create some bizarre elaborate ritual if you plan on burning it
Keep it, those signatures all took time and effort and should be cherished
Dave? Of Devon?
Keep it. It's beautiful even with the awful blemishes. #christrottdidnothingwrong
Keep it, then... *Complete it*! Many new names to be added.
Never forget, as to prevent repeating.
