>>32140I prefer the anonimity. Imageboards aren't really intended as places to make friends and the only times you get to maybe befriend people from them is during events (Whether irl or online).
Stick around for MikuMikuOnline if the mods ever remember that it still exists.

Is utaforum down?
No.32520
>>32457I really, really don't like the possibility that we might lose UTAforum
There is a lot of useful content there
No.32523
>>32457That'd be 15 years of history gone, i doubt they're gonna let it die like that, it'll come back up eventually

What i'm gathering from this thread is that almost everyone here came from Tumblr?
No.32529
>>32524I mean, before the 2018 ban on NSFW content, Tumblr used to be sort of a main hub for fandom content
No.32530
>>32529that being said i think most of us over the age of 20 have probably used it at some point in our lives before the tumblr-twitter exodus

Xenforo kinda sucks and I'm not sure why so many modern forums use it
No.32563
>>32542Xenforo is fairly decent. Everything else you might consider modren forum software is shit and/or doesn't receive updates.
phpBB is a liability, vBulletin is a security nightmare and also sucks to customize, Discourse is really built more for a Q&A format, Invision is proprietary. Everything being on PHP isn't strictly a liability itself but it kinda tells you that there's not much interest left in forums that everything is still on PHP.
No.32589
>>32542Xenforo is alright. You can theme it to look like a classic forum if you want to. It's Flarum that sucks ass.
No.32590
>>32524It doesn't surprise me tbh. There was another themed chan, TF2chan, which also had a lot of overlap with Tumblr.

UTAforum is still down :/
No.32826
>>32823They've been having database issues for like a week now according to Hentai on Bluesky
No.32827
>>32457I dread the possibility of UTAforum going down. Vocaloid Otaku was already a huge loss so imagine a website about the same age, with so many resources and USTs, getting shut down.
No.32992
the one thing i miss about VO was how there was some type of interaction between the community and the people making the vocaloids, especially during the v3-v4 era. didn't some of oliver's creators (the original team, not the maghni guys) post on VO?.
No.32993
>>32992I'm pretty sure we have vocal synth devs lurking 39chan already. Or at least people with connections to them. I've seen insider info posted on this site before.
No.32995
>>32823From what I've been told 2 weeks is the longest UTAforum has ever been down. So if its still like this in 2 weeks, you may activate panic mode.
No.33000
>>32992Yeah i'm pretty sure the Vocatone people even had a thread answering questions about his development back in the day

No.33004
>>32995Well its been a week so far
No.33017
>>32992Yeah, a few of people in the fandom had direct involvement in the creation of some of the voicebanks. These days its a bit more normal with FANding, Vipperloids making it into engines like ACE, etc but back then it was a big deal.
No.33022
>>33004Would be funny if T39 ended up helping them out
No.33023
>>33022They've been overcoming their fear of talking to the western fandom so i could see it happening. Figamin in particular seems close with some people in it.
No.33031
>>32993Original Augris voice provider was a guy named Zoku. He also had an UTAU, "Zokune Ein", and his unreleased VCCV English matched the voice exactly but I can't find any samples online. VocaTone was also planning on at least two Vocaloid vocals, but they wanted to do a male first.

>>617What happened to Positive? I remember they used to be the go-to place for Vocaloid news but even Vocafollower which was made as a parody account (and later became the real thing) posts more than them now.

What happens in the hypothetical scenario that Utaforum shuts down? Is there an archive or anything?
No.33056
>>33055It'd end up like Vocaloid Otaku sadly...
No.33057
>>33056Actually i'm pretty sure the staff over there have their shit together and would at the very least attempt to back up the posts, that's if the database isn't corrupted or fully lost. If it is fully lost then yeah, its bleak.

No.33084
>>32524I haven't been on tumblr in years but i remember looking at vocaloid blogs there when i was like 15. Kinda sucks how blogging culture has been eaten alive by microblogging, which might be the worst thing to have ever happened to the internet.
