>>43371 (OP) Thanks baker, I was hoping the /news/ would return. I don't think 8chan has an archive like warosu though, this is highly unfortunate for the /news/. >>43375 Aster Arcadia's elusive cooking stream has been delayed yet again, like a ball of snow tumbling down a hill, to 7/24.

>>43371 (OP) ...shouldn't this thread be on Holotower? 8chan itself is more of a containment board just to keep shitters off of the main site, given that non-Hololive fans are allowed here permanently.

>>50631 the news is impartial, what does it matter where it's hosted?

>>50631 Just so everyone is aware this is a schizo who has spent the last few days trying to threadshit everywhere.

>>50643 He's an extremely mentally ill schizo, Ignore him. >>47826 (Cross-thread) >>48193 (Cross-thread) >>49134 (Cross-thread)

>>50643 >what does it matter where it's hosted? A lot of people don't want to come to 8chan just for the news. Holotower is just a lot comfier in general, while this place is getting a reputation for just being /vt/ 2.0

>>50672 then don't, sounds like you just got signed up to spearhead /news/ on the tower wish you the best

A considerable amount of news reported in this thread is of non-hololive vtubers. It is uncertain how long non-hololive threads will be allowed on holotower and the majority of non-holo threads are here instead of there. If we want to retain the ability for this thread to be for general vtuber news instead of just hololive news then this site is the best choice. Also, I like IDs.

>>50747 Again, he's a schizo. He has no interest in /news/ or where it is - he just wants to shit everywhere up.

>>50832 sssh I know, the post wasn't for him

>>50843 (Dead) so what are you doing here schizo, come back to holotower

>>50529 /News/ has it's own archive so it should be fine no?

>>52646 plus the [Archive] link at the bottom of every thread sends the page to archive.today

>>55959 so the archive is manual

>>55975 yep. /news/ maintainers will have to keep that in mind, but we haven't even hit thread limit on the board yet.

>>56190 One of the advantages of this site is that news can be up for weeks without any issue, there's plenty of time to manually update the archive.

Why isn't this thread on holotower?

>>58804 that was discussed already, you only have to scroll up, no need to spam the same question over and over again

>>58804 stay in your holoshart board

Very glad to see this thread and all you reporters again, I was getting worried. I for one am totally oblivious to industry happenings without all of you. Keep up the good work!

>>43375 Otonose Kanade released an original song called "GREATEST" MV releasing soon she also released birthday merch. A t-shirt, a tumbler, a cushion of her head, full set comes with a postcard, and a holoTCG card. She's also releasing Line stamps.

>>58804 >>50631 Just in case anybody else has this question, I'll reply here. A /news/ outpost was discussed on tower in the /avtism/ thread, and it was decided that /news/ wasn't needed on holotower due to the aggressive anti-schizo moderation and slow nature of the board. If you wanted news, you could just ask the repsective thread. /news/ exists first and foremost as a way to aggregate industry news in one place, and also to help deter misinformation so that a catalogfag can't as easily control the narrative. Neither of those things are particularly necessary on holotower at the moment, so the statement given was "if it's needed, it'll be there". 8chan obviously needs both of those things, so naturally /news/ has appeared here.

>>71386 thank you smol ame, glad to see you again

>>71386 I think there are several reasons to keep /news/ here even after 4chan returns. IDs are a net positive to this thread specifically and this board is still sort of an amalgamation of all fanbases just without the worst actors, so there wouldn't be an overwhelming Holo abundance in the news while indiefags and smaller companies wouldn't have to be afraid to post due to accusations of being a nijifag or simply discouraged to post because "nobody cares." A thread will be up for weeks, so nobody has to babysit it and there's a lot of time to manually upgrade the archive. Being able to upload multiple pictures at once also helps. There's literally no better place for /news/ than this board right now.

>>71716 I feel that /news/ isn't as accessible right now, but that's the nature of the current state of things. If /vt/ came back with IDs, I think it would be in /news/' best interest to return there. Considering that the feedback inbox was found to MOSTLY be people from /vt/ asking for IDs and/or flags, I think it's not impossible for that to come to pass. If /vt/ came back without IDs...we'll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, this is our reality for at least the next couple of weeks, based on what I've seen of 4chan staff movements. >>71670 It'll take more than the collapse of a cornerstone of the internet to get rid of me. We live in interesting times, unfortunately.

>>71853 >I think it's not impossible for that to come to pass I don't think it's going to happen and even if it will, IDs only aren't enough to solve every problem, they need to be supplemented by competent, or at least not straight up malicious moderation. But we'll see.

>>43391 CorpoCar S7 West & East finale going live at 11 AM ET today. As it currently stands, Kai Saikota (idol) currently leads the West series by 22 points, while Amoria (V&U) has a 17 point lead in the East series. Here's the waiting room for today's stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnmqLT4s4zo

>>71853 >I feel that /news/ isn't as accessible right now At least false's fans won't feel the need to spam his videos here to help inflate his views and ad revenue.

>>43371 (OP) Meta post following >>73256 (Cross-thread) I'd love to hear from regulars and anyone who has at least some interest in this thread, their opinion on this and how we could keep /news/ interesting here. The options that I'm seeing are either we do nothing and have long threads until bumplock; we make a new thread when we do a round-up after [x] days and ask vols/mods to lock the previous one; we become cyclic and ask vols/mods to update the OP if needed (and we'd rely on the Rita archive for history). I'd like to note that becoming a cyclic thread would mean we'd lose our anchors once we reach the post limit, so everything might get anchored to the OP instead. A template to specify if a post is news (or even to set a category?) could be made if needed, as suggested by goodgirlbeam: >>73615 (Cross-thread)

>>43391 Ogey Calibur 2 is currently accepting sign-ups. You can find more information on Holotower. Threads that have an archive on /vt/ are welcome. Any new threads are welcome to sign up, but will be designated as "emergency backup" sign-ups that will be used if there are fewer than 50 entrants. https://holotower.org/hlgg/res/50044.html

>>43687 give it to me straight. how high are the chances halfchinz comes back?

>>73715 Refreshing the OP is a novel concept. I won't speak for others that covered when I was unavailable, but I don't have a problem returning to the Olde /news/ format of doing a round-up each day, and compiling it all for a Sunday OP Update or something. Losing the anchors and the ability to change the OP image does feel like a loss, especially given that OC was typically showcased, but I don't think it would be impossible to adapt. If we were to return to 4/vt/ (I guess that's what we're calling it now), it might be awkward, but we'll figure those things out when they come. Also that mod seems to be familiar with /news/ on 4/vt/, so it's nice that they're willing to help.

>>43375 Takanashi Kiara confirms Amelia Watson as a guest at her spring concert https://x.com/takanashikiara/status/1913865224156754153

>>73715 I think asking for a lock every X number of days and moving to a new one might be the best option, if the vols/mods are okay with doing that.

I rather ask here than other general, is there an 4chanX for this place and also, do we have a warosu/palanq archive, with search?

>>76504 What I read in the Meta thread is that they basically still work on a proper archive

>>43375 https://x.com/clearusui/status/1913216051447468462 Clear Usui will be speaking at Spacetide, a conference for space industry-related businessmen from 7th to 10th July 2025 https://x.com/asobisystem/status/1909446179794174463 ASOBIEXPO 2025 featuring Kizuna Ai on 20th July 2025 together with several others, most notably idol groups under KAWAII LAB https://x.com/S0_0924/status/1913126639166493098 A series of podcast/interview titled Jigokudayori was launched, featuring Nonchii, Nokki, Love=charmulet, Tenkai Tsukasa, Omega Sisters, and more https://aogirihighschool.com/news/69 Aogiri Highschool vtuber group opened pre-order of their newly-released plushies

>>71716 The primary benefit of 4chan is its volume of users, being the premier and only perpetually truly active imageboard on the Internet. The /news/ needs all the contributors it can get. It was getting slow to report even on 4. After all, what use is the /news/ without readers or reporters? You can see from this thread that hardly anyone is reporting anything, it's dominated by meta discussion. I don't think IDs are particularly relevant for /news/ anyhow, since we didn't really get schizo spammers and it wouldn't help against the >NIJISEETHE schizo. >>73715 I'm afraid of the thread going too slow to sustain itself anyway. I would be more concerned if we had the usual activity as a baseline. As it stands, I think the occasional round-up when there is a backlog of news posted mid-thread and anchored to the OP and the previous round-up would be fine. If it were to live very long (like 2 weeks), a rebake would be good. Is there a way to set the old thread to autosage or something, as a signal to kill the thread? I appreciate that the jannies here are helpful though, that's really refreshing. And not having to constantly bump the thread every 15-40 minutes, since I was one of the people constantly bumping. If 4/vt/ comes back, it absolutely needs a higher thread count. The userbase ought to demand it.

>>77666 There were probably no more than 10 regular reporters on /vt/ but I argue it would've been a lot more without the thread discouraging them by spamming "this belongs to kuro" or "who?" The thread is dominated by meta discussion because this is the first and things need to be figured out, it's gonna normalize.

Speaking of /news/, I've yet to see the Stock Watch Anon /here/ ...

She is now aiming to get monetized on Youtube.

>>90163 Based Twitch for once.

>>90163 Where does she say her ban appeal was rejected? You only linked to her first tweet saying she got a ban, and last update she posted is that she sent the appeal https://x.com/matoimiia/status/1913707879145853057 She'd better not repeat it on YouTube either, that's against their ToS too lmao.

>>94530 she said it during her stream today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX4JXqdQ2d8

>>94573 Used the transcription to skip to that part https://youtu.be/CX4JXqdQ2d8?t=498

>>94646 The alt thing is potentially a huge issue because if that's permabanned you are technically not supposed to stream on your main either, meaning this is possibly a defacto permaban if she doesn't get this mess sorted out

>>94652 There are precedents for this, and an alt that was banned for evasion usually doesn't affect the main once your suspension is lifted. If you're partnered and unsuspended, sending an email explaining the alt ban can work out, even smaller streamers got it fixed.

4vt is back up. The /news/ thread from 4/14 is still up. I figure we let it fall off that board, and decide whether we want to move over there, stay here, or run multiple boards?

>>132644 We'll see. I'm fine looking at both boards, but not everyone will be cross-posting. Round-ups can be copy/pasted at least. Sorry I couldn't report much here already, I'm quite busy this and next week.

>>43375 4chan is now back up.

>>132949 Website is super unstable, bugs are abound like /a/ posts ending up in /g/ and /jp/ is getting /vt threads and the captcha keeps going down. In any case, just to post about this. 4chan had about 11 days of downtime or around 9 if you count p.4chan.org coming back up. This doesn't compare to the early days where the 4th time the website went down, it was for 6 weeks but the website barely had any users in 2004 when that happened. https://archive.is/tvinG This is definitely up there as top 5 downtimes of the website if not 2nd. In case you didn't know, 4chan did have a cybersecurity landing page at https://www.4chan.org/security but the rewards are really bad so I doubt anyone would report unless they loved the website that much and we saw how ineffective that was with this hack. Anyways, changes that have been noticed after coming back from when people were able to post. >New captcha, pretty unstable as of the time of writing but breaks associated userscripts people did use for solving them easier. >/po/ and /gd/ had pdf uploads disabled. Should be obvious since this was what was exploited as claimed and seems like this confirms it. >/qa/ which was brought back from its vegetative state got entirely nuked off the website and the associated vandalism across other boards has also been deleted. >/f/ is effectively static and dead, uploads of swf files are disabled. Anyways, no ETA on the time when we can post again without issues and bugs but I guess we'll see when that happens.

>>133591 Can confirm, I can't reply in the /news/ thread. I also have my pass expiring today, and my renewal link brings me to a server error that only prints "500".

>>133810 Ah, seems to work without images, but >Can't post logged in because the pass expired >Can't post logged out because I'm in a stupid IP range soft-ban

So this is the end of /vyt/...

>>133942 Not necessarily. I'm seeing a lot of activity still here and 4stats indicates the board is about at half its usual speed. Some places may not recover from the incident especially when there has not been that many user facing changes and the underlying issues have not been fixed.

>>132949 >No announcement anywhere >No pinned message even vaguely promising that change is coming >No IDs Lovely

>>134218 there are already some bait threads up theres a pinned thread on /a/ in which fags are celebrating because they genuinely didnt know other imageboards exist

>>133942 I for one will continue to use this site unless it becomes the graveyard it was pre hack. Hell even even holotower is preferable to going back to cuckchan. Hopefully with time we can establish a stable somewhat active community here although I know it will never be as fast a board as /vt/ at its busiest.

I will drop some JP news here every day just to keep this place alive.

>>132949 >No raised thread count >No improvements They really have no plans on fixing up the place, do they?

>>136127 My theory is that they brought it back asap because they were afraid of bleeding users to altchans.

>>134062 It would be interesting to have an overview which threads want to return and which want to stay. To start, here's some insight about threads I visited lately: >want to stay /HAHA/, /BIG/, /gsg/, /tsunX/, /freak/, /vrt/ >want to return none I visited >can't make up their mind /mint/, it's a decision between Divegrass and literally everything else as far as they can tell and that's a very tough call for the Wisps.

>>136239 Over on Tower there was talk in multiple holo threads of sticking around, including /hlgg/ itself.

Philippine correspondent here. I am on location for the live coverage of pic related. Confirming the Moom is on the MOA globe.

>>141448 The fans have congregated below the SMX sign seen in the pic. Aside from hoomans, I spot some chumbuds, saplings and other holo fans.

>>141448 I thought you guys were rangebanned? Anyway how's the size of the crowd?

>>141478 Welp, didn't know that post went through. Fucking mobile internet in that area is ass. Here is one vid. Vatican flag at the end is an ad on the pope's graduation.

>>142261 I don't think there's a rangeban for flips. The crowd is around 70 people. They were doing some cheers at the start, and a mall guard arrived to check what the ruckus was about. Here's another vid showing an unrelated "Promise" ad at the start.

As mentioned, there are other holo fans. The fembuds who organized a little something for Gura were cute.

>>43391 I hesitate to really put it here since this is other website news and barely on topic but I figure it is relevant but I do want people who have decided to no longer go to the other website to see this. I pulled statistics from another altchan that is tracking board activity and etc. for 4chan after the hack. The headline number is that overall, post-hack 4chan has decreased by 153K PPD across all boards. Picture is the data someone compiled from around this decade and 2019. To quote. >The 4chan hack had a SIGNIFICANT affect on the overall state of 4chan. 4chan has been consistently losing users each year since 2022 to the tune of total sitewide PPD decreasing by ~100K each year since 2022. Post-hack 4chan has decreased by 153K PPD, down to 561878 PPD, which if long-term trends of user loss continue, would have naturally occurred by approximately 2030. Now on /vt/. /vt/ has in raw number terms lost the 3rd most PPD in raw numbers across all boards. Only /vg/ and /pol/ has lost more. >/vt/: -22428 PPD | -32% Pre-hack Activity | Current PPD: 48331 From what I can notice, the following threads are gone from 4chan as of the time of writing, and some of these are duplicates from other replies. >/fig/ >/tsunx/ >/gsg/ >/brg/ >/pkg/ >/choc/ Some smaller corpo threads and individual indies that couldn't sustain a presence on /vt/ made a comeback here like /ppg+/ for Prism Project.

>>43375 "In recent years, the popularity of research VTubers has been on the rise! But why are VTubers spreading information in the academic field?"

It's a really interesting field to have an eye on.

>>175338 You're right, it seems it's a cancellation of her contract. By the way why is this retarded nigger tagging the dramatrash under the Japanese announcement of a company barely anybody in the west knows about a JP chuba? God fucking dammit I hate dramaniggers.

>>175473 Never mind, it seems the entire life of this sad little retard is begging for dramanigger attention and getting ignored. Sorry for the offtopic, that comment just sent me into furious rage.

Other thread died so I guess we need a roundup there. I had meetings so forgot to bump. The catalog is getting faster from what I can see because of the main event today so I would suggest possibly to do it tomorrow since doing it today will make it hard to keep up today.

>>176627 You “forgot” to bump because you secretly unconsciously didn’t want to. According to this post >>158090 /vt/ lost 32% of post volume. That means the catalog is the exact same speed and generals became slower because anons in generals left while catalogniggers remained. Prediction: You’re going to keep “forgetting” to bump because your higher order unconscious already made the decison to ditch 4chan and move news to 8chan. It’s easier, comfier, and the path of least resistance.

>>176780 Damn I didn't know we had fuckin' Carl Jung on 8chan. >>176627 I was already working on one when the thread died (I usually start when I notice the thread has hit the 200~250 post mark), but the thread exploded.

I didn't include this, anon appears to have pulled things out of his ass.

>>213045 Considering he never responded to me asking about whether she mentioned Offkai on stream I assume he did completely pull it out of his ass.
