About Our Site - Announcements - Important Info

I don't know what's happened but IA that they need to do something, if only appointing mods. I'm afraid someone will click on links that a spammer (or worse) posts. Someone at my work got a virus by clicking on an email link and it's a bad one (CryptoLocker).

I have PM'd and emailed Love_me. She's not picking up either. I know how to use the administrative panel, but I need access. I could contact forumotion. Should I try to do that, or should we wait a little longer to see if they come back? Love_me has helped me with codes and questions in the past. Have to say, I am getting a little worried about what may have happened. Has anyone talked to them? Chloep, what's the IG address you saw them posting on?

I think contacting forumotion is the right next step. We need some mods around here, or at least people who can organize things so it's easier to navigate. I know San has been posting on her Instagram and I, along with others, have left comments for her about coming back but she hasn't responded.

I do too know my way around html/web coding, so like I said, I am sure they would find ppl who'd help out.... and as for the IG, I did not, Sophinette above me did.

Weird thing is that the site's Twitter, Pinterest and Facebok pages were ALL DELETED.... I REALLY do not want this to happen to the site too.. I guess the income generated by the ads should be enough to cover the costs, but it will run its course if Love_Me does not tend to it...
SO MUCH work has been put into this forum(on their end too) I'd hate to see it get lost...

I wonder whether the site was maybe sued? I just cannot fathom another reason at this point...

That's the unfair thing about forumotion. They make all the money off the ads, while the mods do all the work.  I had a theory that they could be building a new site, where they get a cut from the ads, but if they deleted their twitter, Pinterest and Facebook, I guess not. I also considered that there may be legal problems. Even if it's a frivolous lawsuit, they can't be using their money to defend themselves over something they are not getting paid for.

I'll try to contact forumotion and see if I can find out anything. I'll let y'all know if I have any luck.

FWIW, I'm still seeing their twitter, Pinterest and FB pages. San deleted her twitter account, but not this forum's accounts...unless I'm missing something.

ETA: Those accounts haven't been used for awhile, but they haven't been deleted.

Really? The ones Love_Me listed? I really cannot... weird.

But if they are doing that why are they ignoring all of us?

While forumotion sucks, I'd rather do the work for free than lose everything we have here (plus 11k+ members)... It's so fun reading all the old threads...and let's not even mention the S&C thread, such a truly unique place;)  Reading back I see all the hard work both Love and San put into this site and it breaks my heart that they would go out like this...
Ps: I would love to finally change the banner...

I haven't heard back from forumotion yet, but I found this on the support site.

►The founder must be absent for at least six months and one day.
That is her last connection should go back to that date.

If the mods don't give anyone permission to access the administrative panel, it sounds like we have to wait 6 months from their last visits which were in August. That will take us into JP's season. Things will be a mess! I think we just have to hope someone hears from them or they come back. I'll let you know when I hear back from forumotion though. Maybe since there are so many members they will do something.

Thank you so much for looking that up for us!

Did you guys notice that one of our spammers has vanished (or at least her sub-threads in the Contestant thread..) Users cannot delete a thread just a post, so they couldn't have done it themselves!!! I think either San or Love was here!!!   :cutesmile!: :bigsmile:  

Out of respect for Love and San, I'm going to believe they won't just walk away permanently without notice. They've both worked very hard to make this site viable despite the unfortunate disagreements between fans and non-fans of specific cast members. I suspect they are both busy and I don't see an immediate crisis here that needs to be resolved. JMHO. And I just ignore the spammers.
