THE FANFIC APOCALYPSE HAS BEGUN
Community Keep-In-Touch Board
Authors- If you're moving your stuff over to a different site, post the links or website addresses of where to find you in the comments below.
Anyone- Feel free to comment with your kik/tumblr/whatever for people to see and keep in touch with.
ALSO-Please spread the word about what is happening! I don't want anyone to be caught unaware of the websites suddenly expiring and loosing all their stuff!
UPDATE-It looks like some people are able to get onto the MIW site without an issue and have been commenting from that site, others can get on for a little while and had then been kicked off, and still others can't get on at all.
I tried using Whois (a website that will let you look up any URL and find info about it, including the expiration dates!) and searched all of these fanfic websites. So far, all of the sites say they'll expire in June 2016. Even the MIW/SWS site that is already expired said that they'll expire a year from now, although as of right now, it looks like they're going to stay down.
I'm not sure how many people can actually get onto the sites that have expired, or if they'll ever be use without going through a bunch of steps to get to it. It's highly unlikely that Mibba (the owners of these sites) will actually contact as us far as what's going to happen. If they do, GREAT! If they don't, just start preparing for the worst.
Even if the expired sites do get back up for general use and don't have that expiration warning on them, it's better to be safe than sorry. Back up your stories onto other sites. Save them onto computers and hard drives. Get contact info from all of the friends you've made from these sites.
As of now, good luck moving your stories!
WOAH! I have access to the MIW site as well. O.O
What is happening??
