*cap from 120 to 180 seconds* FINAL APPROX TIME: 3:30 to 4:00 ######################## Hey Snackers. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for seeing this website, whether you've explored already, or had to listen to my audio message first. It's scary doing this, knowing that this shit would never work, and I hope that isn't the case. To start, I developed this website 3 months ago out of ambition of the streamer Filian. She's the one who made my viewing experience enjoyable, at best, and I very much enjoy her streams from the start. What made me do this came to me from one of the Snackers who implemented her in the VTuber Wiki. I think that was back in March of 2023. I had this dream one night and said that "I can make this better." After contemplating for 2 months, and given the amount of peer pressure that someone else will make the website first, I had to give it a try. The day university ended, I sat down and looked up some tutorials on how to make a webiste from scratch. For the ensuing 3 months of constant bombardment of things that don't work, inevitable lines of code that will fuck up everything if I mess with it, design challenges, and the 3 hours of sleep on average doing this for my own good, I can proudly say this is one of the best projects I did in a long time. Most of the times it's a one-and-done thing, like just making the website and abondon it. What I do here is different: it's supposed to be a Wiki about Filian, but with a twist. The wording may be off (somewhat???), but I think that gets the job done. With your support, I think we can make this way better and I'll definitely add more things in the future (if I have free time). Also, I need to note something important for the mods to hear. I value the privacy of Filian and substantially considered which info about Filian should be shown. I like to hint at sarcasm for funsies, but for the most part, the things you see are pulled from streams on Twitch/YouTube (and nothing else outside of that). I understand the predicament of Smackers ruining the fun for everyone, and I'm trying my best not to be biased towards that. I want to make this as "community-oriented" as possible so there's nothing that would guarantee doxxing, which would be bad for all of us. I want to make this as fun as her streams. I hope that makes sense. Anyway, I need to sleep right now. It's 4 AM and I need to go back to university shortly. I'll try my best to keep watching you from time to time and maybe talk to you guys cuz I never do it. Uh... yea. Alright, good night, guys!
