Happy Scanniversary!

[stubbleupdate]

I gave the mods a heads up, but didn't hear anything back, so I'll make the post that Fifteen Years Today, Scans_daily was permanently suspended from LiveJournal.

What a Saturday morning that was!
Stubbleupdate: I crawled out of bed on Saturday morning (which meant that the community would have been deleted late evening/night on Friday, America time) and saw that my inbox had a lot of LJ friends requests from people on the community. I get that sometimes, but four overnight is unusual. They all wanted to know where the community had gone, which is the first that I had heard of it. A lot can happen in six hours on the internet.

And the oral history
What the mods said
What Comicvine said
What Comics Should Be Good said
What MGK said
What Fanlore says
What Kevin Church said (the page is gone, but he said "fuck 'em")

Welcome to Noscans_daily

The community has persisted, in some form, over the last 15 years. There has been a churn of members, some new posters establishing themselves, some posters vanishing. Some I've lost contact with (whatever happened to the poster who posted DIAF? I wonder how she feels). Some I've stayed friends with. And some I've kept an eye on because they're fascinating creatures to be studied.

And, since this is likely my last post here, and I was a mod on two communities, Ask Me Anything and I'll answer as honestly as I can.

Thw new rules that we spoke about would also have been explained through a series of Superdickery panels that I prepared for the relaunch.
