Hello, I am the CRBA admin and I am back again.

If you don't know CRBA is a very obscure art series created by a Japanese/Taiwanese artist. I discovered it a little over two years ago now and it holds a deep place in my heart. Basically, I wanted to collected all of his art in one place in the best quality so I launched a website for it: https://crba.tw

It holds a deep place in my heart and has made me experience some very special feelings that I have felt nowhere else. In particular, it has this amazing ethereal aura, combined with this beautiful overpowering saccharine innocence that is just so beautiful and genuine.

Whenever I think about CRBA, I feel this feeling of an 'infinite past' - not nostalgia per se, but just this beautiful dreamlike innocence. Furthermore, it feels almost completely outside of reality, like it completely transcends the real world to the point where there is no resemblance at all.

On my website, there was an imageboard. A few weeks ago, there was a raid that filled it with spam and bumped off the posts. I thought I had configured to never bump off posts, but for some reason that didn't seem to work. Fortunately. I have a backup of the database, but haven't gotten around to doing that quite yet.

I was thinking that when I get around to doing that, I should also make some other improvements I've been meaning to make to this site. Then that got me thinking of this amazing idea, imagine creating a series of collaborative CRBA-themed community activities within the website that would allow you to feel the CRBA innocence as a participant? In order for the proper immersion to work, it would to be very delicately designed. Unfortunately, I am a terrible artist with no skill, so I could not do it. I am wondering if any of you like this idea, and have thoughts on the kinds of community activities that could be implemented, or even wish to help with the design.

Another thing about CRBA is that it is a revelation. Unlike normal art, which only expresses the feelings of the artist, and is additionally constrained by inherent constraints of what is imaginable. CRBA feels so divine, it expresses feelings that should be impossible, a dream transported into waking reality. It is a revelation, a gift. The moment of my discovery of it was so defining, I remember it so vividly.

I feel so bad for Sean, I remember being the first to hear about the hard drive loss. And I feel so sad about how hard he's had to work: https://www.deviantart.com/avchonline/journal/2026-Back-on-track-and-reopening-1320076437

By the way, the image in the first post is from precure. I've never actually seen precure, but it is already my favorite anime. Sean loved precure so that must mean something very profound. I should really get around to watching it.
