Rooster Teeth Archive Update!

I just wanted to shout out all of the people over at Archive of Pimps who've worked so hard on archiving 21 years of content across the RT site and YouTube channels. With the Rooster Teeth site shutting down in just about a week (on May 15, 2024), and the future of the YT channels unknown, this was a massive undertaking to quickly preserve a metric fuckton of content before it could be lost forever. So much media has been lost because of bad storage practices, lack of foresight, and (most critically) corporate greed, so I seriously applaud those folks for working so diligently to get this done.

The Rooster Teeth archive can be found here

You can read MrSheen's full reddit post about the archive here

(there are still about 1800 videos missing from the archive, if you've ever saved any RT content and want to see if you can help, you can join the Archive of Pimps discord here)

The RoosterTeeth site will be deleted May 15th 😔 do yourselves a favor and start archiving EVERYTHING you can now. RageQuit, RvB, X-Ray & Vav, the Minecraft Let's Plays, RWBY, etc. RT is warning us as nicely as they can that there's a p good chance we won't be able to access ANYTHING by next year, including the YouTube channel. Download!

May as well make this a public response instead of just a reply. There is an archive already in the works and people have captured pretty much everything that has ever been released by RT. The focus was first on pure content gathering, now they’re shifting to how to preserve it somewhere for people to access for posterity.

Currently, that’s here: https://archiveofpimps.com

Not everything has been uploaded yet, I just confirmed on the discord that it’s coming along and everything should be accessible asap.

Don’t fret; no need to worry. There’s nothing we can do about Warner Brothers, but the content that is already produced should be safe. Gather your own favorites (I did for me!) but regardless it should be all safe and accessible very soon. ❤️

RT 3/7/24 Stream Notes

alright, in erlande's stead (@monarchisms) i'm gonna try my best to make a semi-coherent post about what info went down on tonight's stream

most important thing: Rooster Teeth is still working and in production for the next 60 days so it's not like y'all will wake up tomorrow and RT and all of the content will just be gone, we do have time

Any info regarding RT and the shutdown will be coming from the RT website directly, and secondarily in discord and the some of the subreddits (i don't think they specified which subreddits tho)

They are going to try and be as transparent as possible with everything going forward in regards to what's happening with RT, they (the staff and management @ RT) don't want anybody to be caught off guard

After the news came out yesterday Chelsea said the next thing they will be focusing on is to figure out how to keep doing the things they love, which i took to meaning that they don't want to stop creating and will do their hardest to fight for that regardless of shitbag WB

They are aware that people are worried about how they will be able to support everyone after RT dissolves and so there is talk of there being a "one stop shop" for all of the social media handles for everyone that works with and @ RT for easy finding so fans can still support people

As we get closer to the end, more news will come out about what will be happening with all of RT's content and cast

WB is keeping The Roost (which is a network of podcasts) running to see if there is any type of sale opportunity to be made from it, if there are no buyers then WB will be shutting it down - along with the people that operate The Roost behind the scenes

Everything brought up today in the stream will be made into a post for easy reading and digestibility

In regards to FIRST memberships RT will do their best to refund everyone in the upcoming months, though you only qualify if you have a 6-month or 12-month plan for that, but there is a lot of legal tape they have to go through since they have so many fans across the world and in different US states so it will take some time

The new season of Camp Camp and the bonus RWBY content will still be getting posted throughout the last 60 days

another note: there are people in the community right now working on archiving everything in case WB decides to delete everything

i know everyone is reeling and freaking out but i do wanna clear some stuff up because i know some Facts and i feel like there is a little bit of misinformation being spread out of not proof reading because we're all angry.

they had an all hands meeting, and announced it then, but the variety article went up before the meeting was over which sucks.

there also was an email that was sent out, so people who were not at work today might have seen stuff on twitter before seeing the email which is upsetting.

you guys are not reading the entire line/taking a part of a sentence out of context from the article. "Parent company Warner Bros. Discovery, after unsuccessful attempts to sell the unprofitable fandom, gaming and comedy entertainment division, is shutting down Rooster Teeth’s operations." it's not saying the fandom is unprofitable, it's saying fandom, gaming, and comedy entertainment division. because they have a podcast about fandom but also are known for curating a fandom. the entire THING is unprofitable.

as of the time this post goes up, rooster teeth's extra life stream will start in three days on the 12th (holy shit, already?!) at 10 am central time. given [gestures vaguely] everything that's come to light about rooster teeth in the past, a lot of people will understandably not want to watch the stream this year, or every year they do it in the future going forward.

if you're someone who donates money to extra life through rt and/or buys the limited-time merch, it's good to know that if you want to, you can instead just donate directly to children's miracle network hospitals without associating your donation with any specific individual or group, rooster teeth included.

if you do want to donate to extra life through a participant that isn't rt, the extra life website also has a search index, so if you have at least one person/small group/company/whoever in mind you'd rather donate to, you can just look them up there!

and of course, donating to your local hospital or charity at any time of year is 100% another valid way to donate your money. rules and requirements for donations vary between organizations, so before doing anything else, do some research and check for verified and reputable locations, both online and in real life :)

wanna remind everyone that the red web taskforce server is preparing to stream november 16th!! our extra life team is here.
