As you probably know, the entire channel got taken down... again.

For obvious reasons (and maybe non-obvious reasons), this does not mean well for my spreadsheet; it'll make it much harder to accurately document some information about rips, like differences between YouTube and Bandcamp releases and which ones were taken down and/or copyright blocked.

Regardless of whether Siiva gets their channel back, I figured I'll play my part in archiving information and post an update to this sheet! I was 18 tracks through Rips of Christmas Past when this happened, which is a bit of an awkward point but whatever.

HUGE kudos to everyone that contributed to this wiki for documenting and archiving information about the channel's content!!! In light of this situation, I can't stress enough how thankful I am for all of you. If it weren't for your hard work, even if the channel hadn't been taken down this spreadsheet would've been a nightmare to work on. But with the majority of rips documented, it'll actually be possible to list everything despite this situation! I probably won't continue working on this spreadsheet until we know what's going to happen with the channel.

Unlike the first time the channel got taken down, where there were something like 800 rips that were easy enough to search through, this time we have over 9000 rips gone if my numbers are right. Ten times as many rips as last time is much harder to search, find the one you want, and find everything about it, let alone the problem of reuploading everything. As far as I can tell, people have only reuploaded a fraction of all rips to YouTube so far, and I have no idea if SiIvaGunner2 will reupload every rip, only some rips, or what.

I've said it in other places, and I'll say it here: I'll ensure that if SiIvaGunner2 comes into play, they will reupload every rip I made, so you don't need to worry about my stuff going anywhere. I can't speak for other people though.
