{{YellowTealPurple}} is an art forum website primarily maintained by {{dew}}, {{infinitysnapz}} and {{pjfrix}}.

While it is considered the spiritual successor to [[YTPMania]], YellowTealPurple focused on a much broader range of art, through videos, images, and more. As said in its introduction, it is "not [[youchew]]".

Line 14:

Towards the end of 2024, it was announced that YTPMania would be going down at the end of the year. The webmaster {{Smonge}} had less and less drive to continue maintaining the forum when it was already quite inactive, so it was determined the plug would be pulled on December 31st, 2024.

A new forum site to replace YTPMania had been proposed and speculated since Smonge's first departure from the community in the early 2020's; one of these was the ill-fated [[Pinchbacks]], as well as {{Retrospections}}' RemixSphere project. In October of 2024, the groundwork for {{YellowTealPurple}} had been proposed- the name coined by {{MemeKirisame}}- and with funding and a server being found later than month, it looked like a successor would finally happen.

The forum opened up on November 18th, 2024, to much fanfare.

Line 20:

On March 9th, 2025, after roughly 4 months of user testing, the "de-YTPification" of the website was undertaken; all references to [[YTP]] in any way were removed. In its place were blanket terms related to "video art"/"video tennis"/etc. The age limit was set to 16+ sitewide; it originally was 13+ only for the YTP section but this was deemed unconstructive.

On July 25th, the site's age limit was once again increased to 18+ in the name of safety and responsibility. Unlike the previous increase, this came with no grandfathering in of ~~underaged~~ users who had signed up previously.
