I've tried freezing my own. It's okay, but the overall loss of quality makes it not worth the hassle in the first place. From prep to cleanup, it's a three-hour operation.

Just noticed that Wota In Translation ended last year.

His site was a source of constant amusement for me. I'm sorry to see it go. On a positive note, the last people he featured were respectively Kamei Eri, Ayaya, and Tsunku himself.

Please be aware there is scam spreading across YouTube right now, one in which popular and sometimes even verified channels get hijacked in order to broadcast phony cryptocurrency giveaways. One of the channels to which I'm subscribed just got hit yesterday, and since then I've been reading up on the whole thing. The scam started a few months ago, and it appears to be accelerating. So if you see a reminder in your subscriptions for an upcoming livestream about Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), or whatever, from a channel that you don't recognize or remember subscribing to, that's the scam. You did subscribe to the channel, but that was before it got hijacked and renamed.

Of course there are many scams on YouTube, but this one is noteworthy because it can appear in anyone's subscriptions at any time. You don't have to be the sort of person who goes looking for get-rich-quick schemes.

Christopher Tolkien passed away last night at the age of 95. Not a surprise at that age, but still. :(

That is sad - but he lived a good, long life, and did a lot to carry on his father's legacy.

We have a thread for that...

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5713

Speaking for myself, I do think you should ease up on using this forum to promote your blog. That’s what you’ve done with five of your last eight posts here. If you want to engage us, you should do it here.

And to be clear, it’s not about you personally or what you’re saying on your blog, it’s about the precedent you’re setting for this forum.

Last Thursday it was Christopher Tolkien, yesterday it was Terry Jones.

His last public appearance, as far as I know…
