For clarity: This is a long-term project. It will be migrated to the new server when it is fixed.
This is the Kamioshi Shrine thread. It's purpose is to allow users a chance to dedicate a single post to their Kamioshi. The primary purpose of this post should be as follows; to promote her (or him, I don't judge) to people who have no knowledge of their existence.
By promote, I mean market. I want to know why I should watch your kamioshi. Shill her. Endorse her. Praise her virtues. Exhibit her content. Highlight her best moments, link her archives. Give me an orgy of content to potentially consume.
Basically, pitch her to me (and other users) like you're pitching a business plan to a room of bored, slightly suspicious investors that could make or break your entire career.
tl;dr: I want to see effort and sincerity.
All posts below this one should be on-topic. Discussion should take place in the General thread. You are free to ask questions or solicit advice, however.
That's all. Have fun.
So I was thinking about what to do while the main server is down. I want to keep people engaged and progress towards some kind of nebulous goal of producing more interesting content.
While many people have very strong opinions about the thread split, I feel that one fairly unanimous opinion has been that people tend to engage in a lot of hit-and-run posts about their kamioshi with minimal content besides 'look, she's streaming!'. I'm guilty of this too, and while I have found a few cool people by randomly clicking on the content in these kinds of posts, I generally just scroll straight over them.
Right before the crash, @Last Of The Mohicans had just begun working on an Amiya Aranha thread, followed by a template for new threads focused on single talents. He's very passionate about single-talent threads being viable, and I appreciate that passion. To encourage people to do similar things, I've decided to start this thread, the purpose of which I will now explain.

There is no set format for a shrine-post. Treat it like a geocities or myspace page (I know a significant portion of you are old enough to remember those, you fossils). Copy somebody else's if you want, but at least try and make it look cool and unique in some way.
However, there are a few content rules.
1) No dox material. This includes any fleshposting that wasn't on the vtuber's main account. A vtuber-vs-irl image is okay, but even that is discouraged. Most people here don't want to see a vtuber's face to begin with.
2) No negging. The point is to be nice and demonstrate your devotion, appreciation, adoration and other POSITIVE feelings for the talent.
3) Keep controversy to a minimum. This is about shilling your kamioshi, not telling people about the terrible things that've happened to her or that time she was a bitch to someone else, even if you think she was justified.
4) No mocking, insulting or belittling other entries. Constructive criticism is fine, but that's all.

This will not simply be a project that languishes in this thread. Once enough entries are gathered, I intend to turn them into a site banner or other semi-permanent asset similar to the random quotes ticker. Just like the quotes, it will randomly link one of the shrine-posts here and contain a little endorsement of the talent to encourage people to click on it and learn more.
In addition, I will hold a vote after enough entries are made. Users will vote on whose shrine-post was the best and most well-designed. The winner will be given a free custom title (for themselves or whoever else they want on the forum) plus a week-long advertisement slot on the forum announcements.
