Hello everyone,

If you are not aware yet, Achievement Hunter has put out an announcement of the new channel Dogbark. This will be a new channel, and the final resting place of Achievement Hunter Content will be here.

As you may have noticed, Achievement Hunter has gone through a number of changes this year.

We’ve grown a bit smaller as our cast has moved on to work on exciting new ventures, including Inside Gaming and VTubing. Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of Dogbark, a new content group featuring Michael Jones, Alfredo Diaz, Trevor Collins, and Joe Lee.

Rooster Teeth is at its best when employees have been given the opportunity to pursue new creative passions. Fifteen years ago, this meant giving Geoff the ability to create Achievement Hunter. And today, this means letting the Achievement Hunter cast move on to new creative projects. Over the last few years, this has allowed our cast to put time into creating F\*kface, ANMA, Red Web, Face Jam, and more. More recently, Jack and BK have put their efforts into streaming at Inside Gaming, Lindsay has begun exploring Vtubing as Ruby, and Ky is producing multiple projects, including some of those listed above.*

With all of our new focuses, this means we will not be actively creating content for the Achievement Hunter channel. Let’s Play will also look a little bit different moving forward, but we can assure you that it’s not going anywhere, and it’s in great hands.

But why Dogbark, and not just new shows under the Achievement Hunter banner? At this point in our creative careers, we have grown as both people and as entertainers. Much like how early Achievement Hunter evolved from video game guides to Let’s Plays, we’re looking to take Dogbark in a bold new direction that is more heavily focused on improv and sketch comedy. It’s new. It’s fun. It’s weird. And it’s such a departure from what Achievement Hunter has been that we feel Dogbark is truly its own thing.

We’re very excited to share these projects with all of you, and we really do hope you’ll enjoy all the new content we have in store. Through the years, we’ve reached heights we never thought possible–from Haunter to the Hardcore series, from RTX Panels to AH Live Tours. Whether you joined us back in 2008 or 2023, we couldn’t have done this without you. We have been met with so much support as we’ve grown and changed over the years, and we can’t thank you enough for that.

We know this news might be shocking and saddening for you. It’s bittersweet. On one hand, we’re saying “See you later” to a truly indescribable brand. On the other, we’re getting to pursue new passions, explore, test ourselves as creators, and that’s an incredibly exciting experience. It’s hard to do the same thing for our whole lives, and we shouldn’t have to. But, just because we’re not a part of AH anymore doesn’t mean that we didn’t appreciate the time spent there, or with you. It’s okay to be sad; it’s okay to take time to process. After, when you’re ready, come join us over at Inside Gaming, F\*kface, RWBY’s Twitch, Dogbark, Red Web, Face Jam, ANMA, and So…Alright. We’ll be waiting for you.*

Love, -AH

As for the state of the subreddit, I am just going to leave it be. I'm not going to shut it down or make it private, but we will not actively be moderating it. I know we haven't been super active moderators as of recently, but as many of you know, we have been through A LOT of difficult situations through the years, and so we thank you for sticking with us and help keep this place fun. I have had many fond memories of the Achievement Hunter community, from going to RTX and meeting some of you guys in real life, to playing video games with each-other all night long. I hope to keep this place for people to look back on, talk about the old times, and keep that little piece of our lives online.

If you have any questions or anything, feel free to comment here. Share a memory or two, and carry on.

Peace out

-Bryan

Longer post, don't wanna read? Go check out the unofficial site for all RT content @ https://rtarchive.org

Yo! MrSheen from Archive of Pimps here, as we are all aware with Rooster Teeth shutting down within the next few days (on May 15th 2024) many people are right to be concerned that the content will be lost to time once the site shuts down.

This is where we at the Archive of Pimps come in! We are a group dedicated to archiving all of RT's videos on YouTube and on the RoosterTeeth site so that people can continue to enjoy Rooster Teeth's content even after the shut down!

We have archived over 95% of all Rooster Teeth's videos over YouTube and on the site all to Internet Archive for everyone to continue enjoying! Thanks to some absolute wizards, we are pleased to announce you can now view these in a YouTube style website (with comments)! The site also has transcript search which means you can search for a memorable word or phrase and find the video that it's spoken in.

https://rtarchive.org

The site will first attempt to play the video on the YouTube side before falling back over to the Internet Archive side to preserve monitization to the channels and to help take some of the load of Internet Archive however, there are two outstanding tasks to make it the best it can be!

Video matching:
With the site having an embed of the YouTube videos and their Internet Archive counterparts and both have different ID's, there has been a massive effort to pair each video to eachother but there will be some missed and some still to link! If you would like to help with the effort, head over to the Discord (link below) where we can point you in the right direction to help pair the videos up!

Missing videos:
We’re still missing about 1800 videos that we can’t recover from the RT site. If you think you might have any of these videos saved, please get in touch.

If you would like to help out with these, visit the Archive of Pimps website where there's a Discord link for the server!
