Pixiv Fanbox is Moving



For those of you who support artists via patronage services, Pixiv Fanbox, (which is Pixiv's rough equivalent of Patreon and SubscribeStar) is moving from pixiv.net/fanbox/ to Fanbox.cc. The creator's individual sites will also change url's for some reason. 
Back in November, Pixiv forked off their microblogging site Pawoo. This might lead to some speculation that dreadfulness is afoot, but Pixiv is saying that this is to facilitate marketing for the artists by simplifying the URLs and making them more artist centric. Anyone who has tried to use the Deviant Art shop might find this argument compelling. 

However, the artists are responsible for submitting their own URLs by the end of April so I predict some confusion. 

Anyway, shorter version:  
In about a month some people who follow artists on Pixiv Fanbox  are going to have to update their bookmarks to new urls, which are yet to be determined.


CopyPasta of the message to users is below the fold, and the surprisingly good Giggle Translate of said missive is below that.

pixivFANBOXは「fanbox.cc」にお引越しをします

All users
いつもpixivFANBOXをご利用いただき、ありがとうございます。

pixivFANBOXはサービス正式リリースから2周年を迎える2020年4月末に、ドメインを現在の「pixiv.net」から「fanbox.cc」へ移行します。

また、それに合わせて、クリエイターページのURLも、クリエイター自身で設定した名前（クリエイターID）をサブドメインとして使用した、よりわかりやすいURLに変更となります。


なぜドメインを変更するのか
pixivFANBOXは2018年4月のサービス正式リリース以来、おかげさまで大きく成長し、ジャンル問わずたくさんのクリエイターの方にご利用いただけるようになりました。この2年間で月間支援総額は12倍以上にまで増え、今もなお成長し続けています。

今後もさらにサービスを成長させ、より多くのクリエイターの創作支援を実現していくための大きな一歩として、ドメインを変更することにしました。

現在、pixivFANBOXは「pixiv.net/fanbox」以下に存在し、クリエイターごとのFANBOXのページURLは、pixivの会員登録時に自動で設定される数字のみのIDを含んだ、非常に長く、わかりづらいものになっています。

そのため、
・URLを短くわかりやすいものにすること
・クリエイターがFANBOXのサブドメインを自由に設定できるようにすること

これらを通して、クリエイター自身がURLを覚えやすいものにし、創作活動の拠点として、より一層FANBOXに愛着を持っていただけるようにしたいと考えています。

▼例：pixivFANBOX公式アカウントのURL
旧：https://www.pixiv.net/fanbox/creator/20390859
↓
新：https://official.fanbox.cc

pixivFANBOXが、クリエイターのみなさまにとって、より居心地がよく、長く創作活動を支えられるものになれば幸いです。


クリエイターのみなさまへお願い
本日より、こちらの設定ページから、pixivFANBOXでクリエイター登録をしているすべての方を対象に、「クリエイターID」の設定が可能になります。

その後、2020年4月末をめどに、ドメインを「fanbox.cc」へ移行します。新ドメインへ移行した時点から、事前に設定いただいたクリエイターIDがそのままクリエイターページのサブドメインとして割り当てられます。

▼新しいURLはこうなる！
https:// クリエイターID .fanbox.cc

そのため、クリエイターのみなさまはドメインが切り替わる4月末までに、クリエイターIDを設定いただくようお願いします。
クリエイターID設定ページはこちら
(クリエイター登録されている方のみアクセスできます)

ドメイン変更に関するFAQ
Q. クリエイターIDを設定しなかったらどうなる？
A. 全クリエイターに対して、最初にランダムな文字列で生成された仮のクリエイターIDが自動で割り当てられますので、それがそのままクリエイターページのURLとして使用されます。

Q. ドメイン変更後は今までのURLは使えなくなりますか？
A. ドメイン変更前のURLにアクセスした際は、自動的に旧URLに対応する新しいURLへ遷移します。そのため、ドメイン変更後に旧URLを使用していたページの内容を変更する必要はありません。

Q. ドメイン変更後でもクリエイターIDの設定は可能ですか？
A. 可能です。ただし、すでに他のクリエイターに使用されているのと同じクリエイターIDは設定できませんので、お早めの設定をオススメしています。

2周年を機に、新たに生まれ変わるpixivFANBOXを、引き続きよろしくお願いします。

pixivFANBOX will move to "fanbox.cc"

All users
Thank you for always using pixivFANBOX.

pixivFANBOX will move its domain from the current "pixiv.net" to "fanbox.cc" at the end of April 2020, the second anniversary of the official release of the service.

In addition, the URL of the creator page will be changed to a more easily understood URL using the name (creator ID) set by the creator itself as a subdomain.


Why change domains
pixivFANBOX has grown greatly thanks to the official release of the service in April 2018, and has become available to many creators regardless of genre. Over the past two years, total monthly support has more than doubled and is still growing.

We decided to change domains as a major step forward in growing our services and helping more creators create.

Currently, pixivFANBOX exists under "pixiv.net/fanbox", and the page URL of the FANBOX for each creator is extremely long and difficult to understand, including the ID of only the number automatically set when registering for pixiv It has become.

for that reason,
・ Make the URL short and easy to understand
・ To allow creators to freely set the FANBOX subdomain

Through these, we want to make the URLs easier for the creators themselves to remember, and as a base for their creative activities, we hope to make FANBOX more attached.

â–¼ Example: URL of pixivFANBOX official account
Old: https://www.pixiv.net/fanbox/creator/20390859
↓
New: https://official.fanbox.cc

We hope that pixivFANBOX will be more comfortable for creators and will support creative activities for a long time.


Request to creators
From today, you can set "Creator ID" for all creators registered in pixivFANBOX from this setting page.

After that, the prospect of the end of April 2020, to migrate the domain to "fanbox.cc". From the time of transition to the new domain, the creator ID set in advance will be assigned as it is as a subdomain of the creator page.

â–¼ The new URL looks like this!
https: // creator ID .fanbox.cc

Therefore, we ask that creators set a creator ID by the end of April when the domain is switched.

(Only registered creators can access)

FAQ about domain change
Q. What happens if I do not set a Creator ID?
A. All creators are automatically assigned a temporary creator ID that is initially generated with a random string, and is used as it is as the URL of the creator page.

Q. Will my old URL be unavailable after changing my domain?
A. When you access the URL before the domain change, it will automatically transition to the new URL corresponding to the old URL. Therefore, there is no need to change the content of the page that used the old URL after changing the domain.

Q. Is it possible to set the creator ID even after changing the domain?
A. It is possible. However, it is not possible to set the same creator ID that is already used by other creators, so we recommend setting as soon as possible.

Thank you for your continued renewal of pixivFANBOX on the occasion of the 2nd anniversary.
