I didn't forget you, I was just afraid to jump to assumption you're THE Panda, solely based on username (since Pandas are dang cute and lots of folks love them, for good reason). I was going to ask you, though!! How have you been?
Such a shame, it's unfortunate when stuff like that happens there was some really interesting aspects of that site. (The profile customization, The forge and the post text saved info) It's surprising when an active member buys a site and it fails normally they have big improvement plans.
It kinda makes me glad I made the right choice and left staff instead of spending more money and time there. I did for see this whole thing happening. OMG I miss my wiffu Giggly! Hummy and I are friends over here. There are a few other survivor from kin here, but sadly not all of them had time to deal with another avatar site.
I think some people also ended up on another baby site that failed. I forget the name of it, but it had a few rebirths and people got annoyed with following the devs through the rebirths. Crystalia or something like that.
I'm glad you reached out. You were just "Panda" back then yes?
