Moonlight Crapfest '09
I got an email from the nice people over at the Blue Whale Pub, pointing me toward new drama. (The OT forum is locked to members only at BWP, but that is not where the wank is--just 27 pages boggling at it.)

But rijane has a nice post about it here.

To sum up: The mods from MoonlightLine.com who all resigned when Sleezer started to smell bad--jumped to their new site MoonlightForever.com--which is now VampLoverForever.com. D: When they changed the name they also made it a site for Twilight/Moonlight/Trueblood, which apparently happened with zero warning to users.

-rijane:
"All hell broke loose. Despite the mod assertions, no one wanted to be part of the even-crazier Twilight fandom and the vomitous True Blood fandom. The complaints raged. The bitching raged. The stories from the mods were confused at best - at first it was because Leeser backordered the domain, then the change was because the fans asked for it, then they wanted to attract more fans, then it was because it was their damned web site and they'd do as they pleased.

In a tangential issue regarding the overly restrictive placement of slash in the fic area and intrusive age restrictions on fic, I flounced from the site and didn't post again. Until Friday night."

God, just go read her whole post. If anyone has screencaps of the Gina's freakout, please share.

eta: rijane to the rescue with caps of mod hissy fit.

eta2: Why has this been tagged ~~grudgewank~~everything? O_o ~~I'm not in their fandom.~~

eta3: bonus Twihard wank from comments. Since this post is tagged everything and the kitchen sink. D:

Just popping in with screen caps of the Bitch post:
Here

And the subsequent mod fleeing from VLF:
here

I didn't cap VampLoves when it went up, but it was identical to VLF except that Nosferatu and Lugosi were off the banner.

And this is Gina's response:
here

And theirs to her:
here

I also have a person who has the inside scoop on what went down between Gina and the mods, but she won't let me spill publicly at this point.
