Rok says good bye to Forumansion, very sad news

[master412160]

Sadly, ForuMansion is aging. Also, not to mention all of the spam and virus attempts that we've been having recently. Thus, we now have a new webmaster forum up called 'Forums Rule!', also short for 'FR'. No, this is not a new ForuMansion. Yes, this is a new forum that we've created to take the place of ForuMansion's being. Unfortunately, we will be closing down ForuMansion pretty soon; or, we might even sell it, and whoever would buy it could move it to paid hosting and do whatever they want for it. ForuMansion was one of the greatest forums that I've ever created... actually, it WAS the greatest forum that I've ever created. I loved ForuMansion from the very beginning, and I'm pretty sure that many of you agree. However, nothing lasts forever, and we should always try new things. But anyway, if you would like to check out this new forum (Forums Rule!) in BETA, then here's the link: http://forumsrule.webhostingfox.com

Meh, don't worry, we'll be getting a domain name pretty soon, haha! Besides, ForuMansion didn't have a domain name until after a few months we've been opened. So, if you guys want to, you could stay with ForuMansion until it gets sold to a new, responsible owner... or, you could join the forum. Well, maybe, you could stay on both, lol. It's all up to you!

Also, you'd might be wondering why we're not moving any of ForuMansion's posts over to the new forum. Actually, we'd like to just start over completely fresh and new. We hope to see the new forum grow, and even have fun watching it grow! If you would like to donate a dollar or two to help out with the domain, then you are very much welcome to donate here: http://forumsrule.webhostingfox.com/donate.php

Remember, we're still in BETA, and we'll be coming out with some NEW services soon!







PS, if you are interested in buying ForuMansion, then send me a PM either on FR or right here on the forum!

This is very sad news, those bastards damn them, really fucking damn them to do this to Rok, the team and of course the members of forumansion. It was really yesterday a spam fest and viruses. Rok started a new forum and the most sad thing is the spammers or spammer moved on to that place to spam it full. I don't see how a group or one person can manage to do this ?



What would you do if this happens with your forum ? Would you sell it to or close it down ?

I would actually just close it down. The spammer's are never going to go away.

That is a sad faith for any forum then, I would not give up so easy.

I know, but I had a look at the new forum and one of the guy's on there spoils it for everyone. He's not going to go away without some difficulty.

Those people attacking him aren't going to go away because his forum is gone. It seems their problem is with the owner and they will follow him to every forum he owns. If his decision to close Forumansion was to rid himself of those people then it's not going to work.

 

[Wolvendeer]

Personally, I would do an IP ban on the guy if the forum has that option, then if that didn't work I would report him to my hosting provider, then if that didn't work I would send any forum logs along with a nice letter (i.e. cease and desist) to his ISP. I honestly doubt that it's anything more than just some lamer using some tool he drudged up off /i/, so I can't imagine such a problem would be impossible to reconcile, by hook or by crook.

All forums will eventually be attacked with spam. You need a staff team that can quickly clear it up and a community base that will understand what happened and willing to stay with the forum.



In the times that I visited ForuMansion, I saw it was very poorly managed, so it's no surprise to me that it is closing.
