YellowTealPurple is an art forum website primarily maintained by dani_phantump, 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".
The name comes from the acronym for Youtube Poop; You = Yellow, Tube = Teal, Poop = Purple.
History
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. By 2024 the groundwork for YellowTealPurple had been proposed, and with funding and a server being found it looked like a successor would finally happen.
The forum opened up on November 18th, 2024, to much fanfare.
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.
Forum Layout
The website is split into many categories, each for different types of art or community discussion. Unlike its predecessors, YellowTealPurple had no "forum games"; these were considered spammy and unconstructive.
Video Tennis
Within the Media Remixing/Video Art Center (formerly YTP-Centric category) lies the tennis section, similar in format to previous iterations.
- The main section, which contains general discussion as well as the Tennis Cafe
- "Tennis:Wanted" where people can release serves for others to take, as well as plan new ones
- "Tennis:In Progress" for matches currently ongoing (not in tournaments)
- "Tennis:Failed" for matches that failed... :(
- "Tennis:Completed" for matches that finished (or are considered finished)
- "Tennis:Archives" for archives of existing matches, often from many years ago
- "Tennis:Tournaments" for tournament matches. The tournament thread itself resides in the main category, this is for match threads only.
- There also exists a secret "staff category" for Tennis Staff to discuss private endeavors...
