A few weeks ago our forums vanished, that happened while I was on vacation but as soon as I heard about it I rushed to contact the host, Fanfilled.com (buddytv.com),  and see what was happening. They simply told me our content was purposefully taken offline and would be deleted within days. Their defense was telling me they emailed me (along with many other webmasters) two weeks prior to inform me of the upcoming change, which is not true because I had another domain hosted there and had never received one single message for neither of them.

Anyway, I kept in contact with them and the person was very nice and led me to believe everything would be solved. I said I would be back within two days and if they could just keep my files on their server until then I could transfer them elsewhere, once again reminding them I received no warning this was going to happen. They agreed and once I got back they told me to find a new host because my files would be deleted the next day, I rushed and within a couple of hours I emailed them back with the new information to where the forum should be transferred to. I have never heard from them again. I kept emailing them every other day until this past Friday and received no reply.

I have hosted huge websites with Fanfilled.com since 2004 and such disrespect just because the forums didn’t bring them much money boggles me. Not even a warning and then lead me on like that?

The forums are gone. My original decision was to close it once and for all, since the last crash things just haven’t been the same and I don’t think a lot of people have any interest in it — myself included. But I keep changing my mind and I don’t know what to do. If you were a member of the forums and want it back leave a comment or drop me an email so I can see if there’s any interest at all, otherwise I’ll just keep it closed.
