Unfortunately, it was closed as the web priestess as she was called didn't have enough time to put into it and membership waned.
She started another site and many from this former forum (Universal Underworld) looked forward to it.. so most of us signed up and ... lo and behold, the anime forum is now kiddy orientated. A lot of us didn't really take well to that (felt sort of cheaped out). Some of us voiced our opinion (I was one) to her, though it didn't do any good. At this point I was using the nickname Endymion and was pissed so me and a guy from the US Rangers that I knew on the site essentially spammed it and told off a few of the new comers that was some serious nerds (I'm talking hardcore otaku here) because we felt screwed over by this and by her. I think near the end there were three sides fighting, the webmistress and her loyal cadre of nerds (they obsessed over her being a japanese girl..enough said), there was the side that wanted everyone to kiss and make up, and there was my side of brigands and scallywags upset at the direction things took. In the end it was mostly myself and the webmistress butting heads while everyone else just yelled at eachother.
In a nutshell was caused the closing of that forum.. over time reconciliations were made on both sides and a second version of that forum re-opened and me and some other dissidents welcomed back into the fold and all ended well.
It was slightly personal with me however as I felt screwed on a personal level as me and that 'web priestess' were a tad "intimate" (nothing super serious but nonetheless) and I was rather angry when she turned me. Of course, she probably thought I did the same to her. Oh well.
