Stanley: Where's a person go to the bathroom around here?
Magnet: Pick a hole, any hole.
— Holes (2003)
arr-drama dot net has a tumultuous relationship with holes of all sorts: sometimes Carp ravages your holes arbitrarily, sometimes we debate whether gussy or bussy is the better hole. Today we bring you a welcome relief from those petty concerns: you can now be notified when people put things in your holes! Holes are now also more readily available for purchase.
This update adds a "Follow" button to the top of every hole, right above the "Block" button. If you click it, you will receive post notifications for new posts in that hole. You can, of course, later unfollow the hole whenever you please.
Additionally, holes cost 50 000 DC now and anyone can make one if you have the DC. However, they are deleted after 2 weeks of not getting new posts EDIT: One (1) week of not getting new posts. Two weeks went nowhere.
EDIT 22:20Z: /h/neoliberal has been purged for inactivity. Carp considered this very important to announce and was going to shit up your feed with another changelog. You're welcome for getting an edit instead.

I was planning on using /h/eevee just to post my personal work but it looks like I gonna have to start posting random shit again.
Or maybe it's time to let it go.

I like /h/eevee
This was the compromise position to make new hole creation accessible at all. If you can do a single eevee shitpost on weeks with no OC, that'd be enough to keep it alive, and I hope you do so that the ribbon dog has a home.

I'll try to make one or two a week. I have plenty of cute eevee images, hardest part is making them "fun". Also coming up with a title.
Does the post needs to have any sort of "activity" (people commenting on it or a mininum requirement of votes) or just posting is enough to prevent the deletion? I remember the (((🐟))) talking about deleting holes with "low community engagement" or something like that

Just needs a post. Zero comments, a hundred comments, zero votes, a hundred votes, doesn't matter. The (((🐟)))'s policy was for before we had this new automation to take care of it.

I'm completely r-slurred, and ignorant when it comes to programming or webdesign but how does this automated system work? Does it work like a timer or it's something else? Lets say I delete a post, or remove/kick a post from the hole. Does that post still prevents the deletion or does it need to be "present" in the hole itself for the whole week?
Also, this is probably not a good idea, since I assume this system was made to keep useless, inactive holes from taking up space. But is it possible to be notified when your hole is about to be deleted?

Algorithm, run once every 24hrs on a timer: Find all submissions posted in the past week in any hole. Make a list of which holes exactly they were posted in. Then find all holes that aren't on that list and delete them. We don't filter out deleted posts or anything. So if you kick a post out of the hole, it doesn't count as activity since it's no longer in the hole. But if you post to a hole and delete it, it's still technically in the hole and thus counts as activity.
That said, we're mostly designing for activity meaning having an undeleted post in the hole, so no guarantees that the precise details past that won't ever change. One undeleted shitpost every 6 days should be good forever.

Alright, thank you for the answers! I hope my dog brain remembers to make an eeveepost every 6 days

Just sell it. It's worth ~50k DC.
