Where did some variants go after the new gui update?

Some variants seem to have been removed after the gui update to the variants hub recently. (e.x. Mega Fairy, Ocean's Mini) Can somebody tell me what had happened to those?

Some variants were just removed from the main tabs—you can still find them by going to the analysis board and finding the presets there or searching up the variant you want to play here:

Mega Fairy in particular has been disabled, along with some others, which is why you might not find them.

We, as part of the CGA team, have discussed and decided that these variants no longer meet some of the criteria and standards that define a good NCV at the time (popularity, mainly).

Try not to disable unpopular variants next time.

Maybe try to make them more popular?

That's not how it works...

We notice the more popular variants that are getting attention and make arenas for them. We disable the less popular ones (after trying to make them more popular, of course) because why do we need to clutter the different sections with games that no one wants to play?

Mega Fairy has been stuck at the bottom since 2019 or 2020. It was bound to get removed at some point, and I’m surprised it made it through even after the merge…

There was another post saying how we could make a "secret menu" for unpopular variants.

Maybe we can keep these variants as custom positions in the list of custom positions, but we can make them unrated-only. They will not be shown in the main variants list.
