Hi everyone,

Not sure if anyone noticed but the website has been down for a while but -as you can see- is up again. The website was suspended permanently because of a claim received by the hosting company about pictures shared on here which were 'pornographic'. Now I put that in quotes since they (albeit tasteless i.m.o.) were hardly pornographic but were photoshopped pictures of Michael in sexual positions with a fan. I think you all know which types of pictures they were. Because I could pull some strings I have been able to get them to put the website back up so I could delete the pictures and the threads and avoid a permanent suspension.

But because of this claim (I will paste it below so you can see it but will remove the links to the pictures for obvious reasons) I have deleted about 5-6 threads, all of which were called 'sexy pics of Michael' or 'Look how hot' and more like that because if they find anything else like it, they will permanently delete the website and it will put my own forum plus all others from my clients on my server also in danger.

I have made a back-up before deleting anything so it's not 100% gone, but they are gone from the forum. Maybe I deleted innocent pictures here and there, but better safe than sorry. I am asking you all to please refrain from posting any type of sexualized pictures of Michael.

I have had contact with maria this morning to explain and she will take further steps to make sure the forum is clean, maybe some people can offer to help her go through the forum. I will also try and contact the Estate to see if Web Sheriff works on their behalf.

Have a great weekend y'all. (hellohi)
