Yahtzee's ZP is the reason I came to this site, but now that I've seen much of what's here I'd still come back to check things out regularly even without him.

I would probably stay on board, there's plenty of great content and forums that don't suck (besides the banhammer-happy mods) here. In other news, Yahtzee stated in a Q&A session that when he does leave, he will most likely go to Valve. If you read Extra Punctuation, you can probably see why I would be excited to see his innovative ideas in a place that can actually make them reality.
To be honest, I haven't watched Yahtzee from a long time... Nowadays I only come here for the forums. So I would stay.
leave the site? Obviously i would follow yahtzee, but why would i leave this site all together. theres still bob, creditz and daily drop.
Everyone who just lives in his comment section would leave. The forums wouldn't die, we'd just shrink a bit.
If he left the escapist?
...Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out buddy.
I just don't care either way. Yeah, the videos are entertaining but he's just a reviewer, people make him out to be more than he is. Is he funny? Yeah. But there are plenty of other funny people on this site too. Losing one doesn't make the site lose it's total credibility.
But if he did leave, it wouldn't affect my viewing of this site either way. Escapist and Destructoid are the only gaming blogs I care for ATM, with siliconera right behind the two. Losing 'one' piece of content from an otherwise large site, would not make me want to stay away from it forever.
Hell, even if LRR left, though I hope it doesn't happen, I'd still visit here. Hell, if ALL the video providers left, I'd STILL do my daily check ins.

Easy. Alot of fanboys would cry and moan about it, but most people would understand. The man likes to write, just go read some of his fully rambolic (sp?) stuff. If he left the Escapist it would be to do other things with his life, and more power to him. His fan boys are getting so annoying that I almost feel embarrassed for him, plus it wont last forever. Whether he wants to or not, the man will move on from this.
We'd have far fewer new people coming in probably. However, with Extra Credits, maybe it'll get popular enough to gain that same appeal. It certainly has the potential.
Speaking as someone with an avatar from the same series as yours, I second all of this.Konaerix said:

Not to say I'd stop viewing. The Loading Ready Run guys crack me up with their sketches and Unskippable, Lisa Foiles is so cute when she presents her Top 5s, Extra Credits is fairly educational, and I like considering the points presented in The Big Picture.
Still though, my Wednesdays were wounded enough when ENN changed their format shortly before ending altogether. If Yahtzee were to leave, Wednesday would be my new Monday.

That's like the boat leaving without a captain, sure you can manage with the doctor, but who would be there to give the toast at dinner?
