The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

LBTFan has left deviantart

You all remember LBTFan who made those wonderful pictures in the fanart forum? Well, he's left DeviantArt, so he most likely won't be adding any more pictures anywhere again.

All the pictures have been deleted, so what I'm wondering is: Is the topic going to be closed/deleted?

Check out his profile page for evidence. Why would he delete his account just because he dosen't upload LBT fanart anymore?

Maybe he made a new account under another name?

I don't know. If you or anyone notices his pics under a new account, I'm sure we'll know that answer.

You could PM him to ask.
I already sent a PM to him once in June asking why he never uploads new pictures, but he never respond.

Y'know he could be dealing with some severe family issues or something like that.

Animeboye has a point. We don't know what he may be dealing with. He may be dealing with something really bad. In any case, we can only respect him and allow him the time he needs without pestering him with emails/PM's about these things.

I'm not saying that you were ScratteLover3. I'm just saying that for the time being if he isn't responding we should give him the space he needs.

One of my favorite Youtubers had recently shut down his account due to personal issues. The same could be true for this guy. I doubt he shut his account down simply because he won't do anymore LBT pics. Were that the case, he could have just drawn OCs or drawn fanart of some other series. There's clearly more to it than just that.

Well people leave website for reasons and I respect that big time. I myself left several websites already. That was due to the fact they were not reliable with information or it got to out of hand in many cases and it was pointless for me to keep an account on those particular websites so I left and moved on.

If he deactived his account, then how is one of his pictures still on deviantart? I read that when you deactive your account, all your pictures and fanfictions are deleted. I'm confused... :confused

I think it is because he submitted that pic to a group.

No need to stalk him ;) He's alive and does whatever he wants.

I agree. We've already had our discussion about this, so this topic really doesn't need to be continued. Let's just leave him alone for now.
