Re: TF-Media...Another bites the dust
I can't honestly say I'm surprised, new art and stories trickled in way to slowly and weeks would go by before anything new would show up and it would be about 3-4 captions with a possible photomanip thrown in from 1 of the very few still active morphers on the site, in the last few months I gave up on the site mostly because the place was mostly a ghost town during my waking hours.
the website was a great place 5 years ago, I remember sticking around till the very end of not only the website but the IRC chat room it had, I remember when the old site was announced for closure how roughly 80-90% of the members jumped ship several months before it closed.
when I got wind of the website last year I knew that TF-Media was just a ticking time bomb, it really didn't help that the guy running the site was too paranoid to appoint any admins/mods to help run the site, the old site was pretty popular back in the day and I met some great people back then too.
TF-Media would never recapture the glory it once had, but when it's closed and then reopened by the same guy a few years later, people are going to feel a bit off about it since it was only a matter of time before real life would jump in the way and cause yet a second closure which it has.
sorry if I'm repeating myself at times in there, I never really got to say anything about the site in the past, it'll be missed but as I said it's closure comes as no surprise to me and closing it without even a pre warning for people to save their fave images within a time frame wasn't the most professional thing to do, TF-Media was one of my fave hangouts when I was getting into the TF fandom so I wont forget it
