GilvaSunner Deletion

"Here's to you, my better half."

- SiIvaGunner

The deletion of the GilvaSunner channel was acknowledged on the SiIvaGunner channel with a channel event on February 4, 2022.

Background
The GilvaSunner channel had been targeted by multiple copyright blocks from Nintendo that, at most recent, began on January 29, 2022. On February 1, GilvaSunner announced on Twitter that he would be deleting the channel on February 4, as he didn't feel it was "worth it to keep the channel up any longer". The channel was deleted at 12:00 p.m. EST.

Theme


The avatar was changed to a profile picture previously used by GilvaSunner (itself a reference to TimmyTurnersDad, GilvaSunner's previous channel), and the channel banner was changed to the original lighthouse image.

After the GilvaSunner channel was deleted, SiIvaGunner's featured video was changed to "Ending Theme - Super Mario Bros. 2", a rip that was in GilvaSunner's playlist. After "Loneliness - Tengami" was published, it was set as the featured video and the YouTube and Twitter avatars were changed to a blank gray image (the exact shade of gray in the background of GilvaSunner's current avatar). The next day, the avatars were changed to an edited version of the "Big Boss Salute" image, with Big Boss changed to resemble SiIvaGunner.

Rips uploaded
Most rips on this day were of games or tracks that were ripped on the GilvaSunner channel, but were previously not ripped on SiIvaGunner, especially those that had notable metadata deviations from the usual format. In keeping with this theme, almost every rip lacked a catchphrase in the description, since the catchphrase part of the rip format was added by SiIvaGunner, and wasn't part of GilvaSunner's channel. There was no particular theme to the jokes featured in the rips themselves, although there was a small lean towards ending themes, goodbyes, and other somber rips, especially near the end of the day.

The schedule for this day was also different from any other event; rather than one rip being uploaded at a time, every game that had multiple rips for the event had each of those rips uploaded simultaneously with other rips from the same game. This is also a reference to GilvaSunner, since he always uploaded entire playlists of a soundtrack at once. The sole exception to this was the final rip for the event, "Loneliness - Tengami", which was uploaded 30 minutes after the other  rips, becoming the finale due to its prominent featuring of the lighthouse.

After the upload of "Loneliness - Tengami", a playlist titled was created, which contains all of the event's rips. This was accompanied with tweets by @GiIvaSunner announcing the playlist and paying tribute to GilvaSunner. An equivalent post was published on SiIvaGunner's community tab the next day.
