What happened to the old forum ?

[Haremfan]

Last year the forum just stopped and you kept being redirected to the main site. What was all that about ?

The site owner of the 8muses forum has deleted the forum. Why did this happen?

His advertisers had complained about some of the forum's content, such as bestiality and child porn. Neither matched their advertising.

The site owner first deleted bestiality in the forum. Then he tried to ban child porn.

Some members who were also banned for this wrote for revenge to artists whose works were posted on the forum against their will, and these artists exercised their copyright.

These were considerable legal problems for the site owner.

In addition, more and more AI-covered works were posted in the forum, featuring well-known actors and singers. And which also contained child porn.

The site owner was completely overwhelmed and decided to block the possibility of posting in the forum.

Only VIP members were allowed to post freely. As a result, more and more normal members became VIP members because the existing VIP members turned the normal members into VIPs.

That was the end of the story and the site owner deleted the forum completely.

Gotcha, yeah child porn and bestiality are disgusting. It's why I deleted my DeviantArt account because of the crap on there so I don't blame him.

I was wondering what happened with 8muses. It's sad to see it now only as a shadow of its former glory. That's a big "load" for anyone to swallow, let alone the admin of 8muses! Thank You so very much for all of the information, lamythefirst~!

@lamythefirst - Yeah. Sad Story... But still, to name AI Stuff: I liked 8Muses AI Section for People presenting their experimental output. Some Results were really convincing. And as I see it, Artists I reconsider as great for their Style use AI as a Base to work it out to... even like Paintings, sometimes.
So: not the "new" medium is the problem. Sick Contents are
