WARNING: Server Work

We’re dealing with some infrastructure issues at UATV and Arktoons, so don’t be surprised if either site is a little slow or goes temporarily dark this week.

On the plus side, we have a dev who has volunteered to pick up the slack at Arktoons, so if that works out, there will be no reason to make any changes and we may even get the key piece of the puzzle finished that is required to make it viable for creators.

FADE TO BLACK

This theme song for the upcoming BLACK WARRANT crowdfund, FADE TO BLACK has proved popular on both AI Central and Sigma Game, so I put it up on UATV for the subscribers. The comic is already done, the novel is done, and the script for the film is two-thirds done. This is going to be big.

If he shows up at your door, you’re the one who brought him there…

The crazy thing is that this isn’t even the hardest-hitting song on the soundtrack.

Weekly Meme Review

She Finally Saw Color, 2025

You know the drill. One meme per customer. But lay off the memes about the Ukrainian girl murdered by the young man who didn’t do nuffin and was going to be a college student as there are a million of them around now.

Also remember that the paywall is up, so if you haven’t renewed your subscription to UATV yet, you should get that process started so you can take part in the next one.

September 1 Paywall

An announcement from UATV.

August has been a relatively quiet month on Unauthorized, as creators, viewers, and devs alike have been getting out and enjoying the dog days of summer. With global payments having returned in July, subscriptions have continued ticking upwards and the team has been able to spend some time on research and planning the future development of the platform.

While this naturally means that there aren’t many new developments to announce, we are pleased to report that the bank transfer payment system put in place last month has been successful enough to allow the reinstatement of the hard paywall. As of September 1st, an active paid subscription to Unauthorized will be required in order to view livestreams and/or published videos.

The plan is to give creators individual control over their content, so that specific videos of their choosing can be made available to the general public after publication. For now, livestreams will remain behind the paywall, at least until the chat system has received the upgrades it is due for.
