Speaking of forums... I kind of miss the days when UtaForum was more lively. It was a really cool space for those whose primary vocal synth was UTAU. It was a weird but wonderful place, I used to pop in there from time to time back when I was just starting out in UTAU. (2014/15-ish... cringey? Oh god yes, but I was excited so shut up and now it's been 5 years and look at me!!!..... still at it workin' my UTAU shit)
coming back from years of being away from the vocal synth community, idk if its just me but it feels like things have quieted down a lot lately. things definitely have slowed down in terms of news (and ofc, UTAU being almost 8 yrs old w/o an update...) and many previously active users AND PRODUCERS not very inactive :/// while i'm okay with things quieting down a bit, having an active and exciting community will always be very important to any fandom. anyways, my utoot thoughts yo
