supposed closedown

There have been repeated attempts to add a claim that Vyond is closing down at the end of this year. There have been zero sources, and the supposed date of the announcement has nothing on the website's blog. Do not readd this material without a reliable source. --Nat Gertler (talk)

Why can't grounded videos be added onto this page?

I've actually knew GoAnimate/Vyond thanks to grounded videos and I actually have a source for them, but I noticed the page is protected so can someone please explain to me? DuchessDoesEditing (talk) 06:22, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prior attempts to added grounded video material here lacked sufficient sourcing, and the topic became a basis for much problematic editing. If you have a source beyond the K. Thor Jensen article from Internet Gutters, please put it forth here so that the possibility of readding a grounded section can be considered in that light. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 14:04, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There is only 1 reliable source that talks about grounded videos, which is a blog post. And just a blog post doesn't establish the notability on grounded videos it needs to have a section on the page. There used to be a section on grounded videos, but it was removed last year because of the lack of sources. Fireman Sam Fanboy (talk) 00:16, 28 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way for us to find a source to describe grounded videos a bit better? DuchessDoesEditing (talk) 22:42, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject coverage change proposal

In absence of any good sources in respect of the so-called Grounded videos, I am proposing to remove this article from the scope of the Internet culture WikiProject.

The article will continue to be served by the (general) Internet WikiProject, in the context of Vyond's historic partnership with YouTube. --Minoa (talk) 06:19, 11 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wrapper: Offline

In addition to grounded videos, recreations of the old GoAnimate interface, including Wrapper: Offline and FlashThemes, should also not be added to the article, as no reliable, published source exists for either of them. AKK700 03:56, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, the whole article should be reviewed. The only main reason why Vyond got an article was because of the YouTube Create partnership, but that's about it as far as I am aware. --Minoa (talk) 05:36, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Adding grounded videos to the page is a dumb idea. Tedmcbur (talk) 15:18, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
