Show Announcements, Alerts, Events, and Information on Loading screens
owlboy
Put things related to the status and state of VRChat on the loading screens.
Blurbs about: Dev notes, blog posts, known server issues, patch notes.
Encouragement about reporting bad actors.
Community events could be there too someday. But for now, important information about the status of VRC and messaging to the community about important matters.

This is implemented (to an extent) in the VRChat 2018.3.1 open beta.

Noe: Hey, that's pretty good. Not even saying that sarcastically.

As long as it's
Optional
.Some people like the quiet loading screen. It's a good thing the animation was optional. Forcing changes and expecting others to accept it has always ended badly.

Show Notices for Events on the Loading Screens

There is lots of thought being put into how to get more people to hang out in VRC and see that it is an active community.
Advertising the events on the loading screens would be a great way to put this information in front of users.

A better option would be adding a new tab for events. Right now we have social, worlds, avatars, but we don't have any events yet, which could be a great addition to VRChat, without a doubt.

Pan Diman: well, sure. That is a long stated thing that is on the roadmap. This was suggested a year ago as something that would both be in addition, and simplier to get in place before a whole event system.
