... D:

NO! OUR FORUM! ;___;

So, um, if it doesn't come back, then we all go flock to cosplay.com (Sub-Australian forum takeover >D) until we get a new domain. And then, uh, post the link through DA/LJ/MSN, and then we use word of mouth? (I'm sure most of us can all connect together somehow xDD).

I hope we do get it back though ;___;

Well furk. Hokay, seeing as forumtion are being a pack of bastards, I've decided to make a blog to keep track of whats going on. Mods, pass me any more messages you get from the admins about this - I'll also try and get in touch directly. I'll keep it updated as much as my freetime allows with whats going on.

Blog can be found at http://packofbastards.blogspot.com. Bookmark it up, since if they do go ahead and shut us down, we are likely to get a little scattered, check there for news ect.

I'm gonna go to bed now and catch some Z's, but I've got some time before class tomorrow so I'll see what I can see.

I've tried finding one, but ridiculously enough, I can't find one anywhere. @_@

@Hoggs: The admin panel thing is a good idea... I'll try give it a go when I get home from uni tomorrow... I need to go to sleep now (5.30am wake-up, blargh...) (...that's if I can GET to sleep, though...)

@Shannon: I sent them an email asking for an explanatation, but all I got was an (automatic, I assume, given that it arrived relatively quickly)(as in, not 58 days later) email back basically saying that nothing would be said until they had completed their investigation. :S

@Greg: lol at the title of the blog. XD Thanks for that. :) GAAAAAAGFWEHFJSBAM. *headdesk*

I've found their TOS: Here

Quote:
Illicit contents

Forums that does welcome or promote warez, piracy, hacking, cracking,
spamming, attacks against networks or servers, pornography, racial
hatred, crimes against humanity, inappropriate activities on the
servers, or any other actions which violate any applicable laws, aren't
allowed. Any forum which contains texts, links, pictures, animations,
videos or any other content recognized as illegal may be deleted
without notice or warning. Forumotion.com reserves the right to delete
any accounts or forums considered like not conform to the rules quoted
here or specified in Forumotion.com or in the international website
rules according to the international internet law. Any illegal content
or act can or would be reported to the concerned services and
prosecuted.


We're all good in that we don't have actual links to downloading sites in that thread, but regarding amvs, it's still up in the air whether they're legal or not so whether we're breaking TOS is unsure...

That TOS looks fairly open to me, it may cover even -talking- about illegal content, whether links were posted or not~

Hopefully they'll get the idea that we're not actually downloading/sharing anime on the forums and leave us alone.

(There're quite a few in the list we've broken: I'm sure that disturbing David Hasslehoff siggie counts as a crime against humanity, and if it doesn't, Angie's running memory jokes certainly might...)

Iunno I dont want to just wait for things to happen >_>
