Nasuverse Beast's Lair offline?

[jwang]

So, I tried to check up on the latest fanfic threads at Beast's Lair, but it seems like it was taken offline or something. Anyone knows what happened?

 

[blabla1994]

Nope but it happened literally only a few minutes ago, it craped out on me in the middle of turning pages in a topic.

 

[Avider]

No idea D:

 

[Fatuous One]

Mm, well, Evospace had posted about Proboards sending him an e-mail to get rid of all the adult material, (or face suspension) and they were discussing what to do about it but...

They were supposed to give them at least until the weekend. Huh.

EDIT:

Ahaha, oh man. This ToS is ridiculous. Section 25 (a) reads:

25. TERMINATION

Oh god... i really hope they did not just really permanently shut down the biggest Nasuverse community on the net *sigh*

 

[jwang]

Mmmmm... sounds just like the SE EULA for XI. Hopefully they can recover the threads lost in this suspension. I'd hate to lose some of the awesome fics they got there.

Just in case things cannot be recovered, does anyone know if there are back-ups or other sources of all the fics that were there? I know that Elf posts a bit here, and some of the folks on Beast's Lair got FF accounts, but a few of the stories never left the forums I think.

 

[yojorocks]

Sonofabitch- I didn't even think to back up anything on there, this caught me off guard out in left field. Damnit- I was really enjoying some of the stories on there, too. If anyone has any further updates on the admin side *cough, Elf, F1, cough* I'd appreciate posting something on this forum, somewhere in the F/SN section.

Thanks in advance.

 

[Fatuous One]

I know they were actually in the middling of backing up a lot of threads, but I dunno how far they got with it.





Not an admin, though.

 

[Deathwings]

Oh fuck. :huh!:

I hope those poor bastards are well protected, because the entire community is going to go up in flames and riot if the whole place is really lost for good. :mellow:

 

[jwang]

Wait, there isn't one already? I already got my pitchfork and torch ready too! Now where did I stow my tar and feathers...

walrblragh said he got to about 400 something MB and that was quite some time before they shot down the site.

 

[yojorocks]

Is there a BL IRC channel or anything else that people will be in discussing what to do next?

#beastslair@irc.irchighway.net

That's the IRC channel, but I've no idea if they're discussing it or whatnot.

 

[Avider]

They are. In the #BLRefugees channel.


Also, blame mike.

 

[trevelyan1983]

Also, blame mike.

Mike? Huh. I was thinking it would be one of the lolicon members finally going too far.

 

[Avider]

The indicates that I'm not being entirely serious here.

I know that, you silly.

How can I contact this person to see about getting copies of some specific 'fics?

Also, I apparently fail at IRC. Is there a website where transcripts of the discussions will be posted, or some assurance that if a new, non ProBoards site is created, an adress will be posted here?

 

[jwang]

<RoadbusterX> Proboards is pretty adamant about the TOS, looks like no way to get it changed
<RoadbusterX> Jen's fine, pissed off like the rest of us though
<tobi-ass> or /come up with anything
<Kenken> evo was setting up a new site
<tobi-ass> yeah,
<Mike1984> Well, the ToS were never going to be changed
<tobi-ass> no
<Mike1984> They've taken the forum down altogether now, though
<tobi-ass> I mean Evo's using blackss
<Mike1984> (If you hadn't noticed)
<tobi-ass> and increasing the bandwidth
-->| Altima_OG (mibbit@17dc4bf9.20846cb9.fios.verizon.net) has joined #BLRefugees
<Mike1984> Yeah, I know
<RoadbusterX> I was never able to back up everything, any status on who has what?
<Mike1984> Lantz got some
<Altima_OG> hey guys
<RoadbusterX> And now my cover is blown, as a real mod is here. But, at least I did learn a few things I didn't know before
<Mike1984> I got a small amount, but nothing useful
<tobi-ass> Lantz has got 3GB

Latest status from IRC

<Altima_OG> Well, they didn't give us even the time to get everything, and I'm not sure how much everyone got before the axing
<DerpMAN> Usagi is Kotonoha
<Altima_OG> So I'm still weighing options

Here's hoping.

 

[Elf]

The theory of what happened was that someone who we had to keep banning ratted us out. Like I said, that's just theory.

I know Roadbuster was doing a massive backup, but I don't know how far he's gotten. (He works third shift and is currently sleeping before he has to go to work.) I know some other members were as well, but I'm not sure how far everyone got. Evospace might have another place for us to go.

I'll keep you guys posted when I hear more.

Also, who's fic where you asking about?

I'm friends with Kerian and I have his email address if it's his.

Again I'm sorry about all of this, and it really sucks. However we're down, but we're not out. Like the mighty phoenix we'll rise from the ashes.

 

[Avider]

Or Roa.

Since, y'know, we are a Type Moon group <<'

( Here's hoping for Serpent's Lair D: )

 

[yojorocks]

@Elf- Kieran's and your fics are the ones that I have been reading and following, so if either of you set down roots someplace to repost/continue posting things (aside from these boards) could you post links/notifications?

I just emailed Kieran. I think I could convince him to post here.

I post most of my current stuff here. Poor Black Princesses is dead (and I'm in the process of trying to plot a revamp of it that is MORE BETTER) and Steel and Cherry Blossoms is currently being written.

Like I said, we'll keep everyone posted on what's going on.

 

[ItsaRandomUsername]

Oh thank GOD, we have a place to talk about this!

I'll go sign up as fast as we can. Damn it all, though. Shit...

I'm confident that we can re-establish ourselves in a timely manner, though.

 

[grant]

Great, now I'll never find out if that Flesh and Fantasy thing will actually get anything written....shit! That Fate/Phantom of Inferno thing's gone too!
