Sorry to hear that, and also sorry to see what has happened there. Man, death threats for a place like that??? It´s a weird world http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif

This is just awful! Some people are so sick! I hope Elfwood can come back and sure hope they try to find the ones who did the threatening.

This truly is disturbing, but you must realize that these 'death' threats are probably from a couple of 13 year olds that don't have much else to do than post 'crap' and send harrassing emails! I hope the ERB crew can track these people down and have them dealt with properly!!

yes, and it's a beyond a shame. It's a travesty. The actions of these small few have ruined it for so many, many, many people.

I'm so angry, I still cant even comprehend that such a thing was done. I just hope that we see a something like elfwood again someday.

This has grieved me more than I can say.

What is up with the danged art community on the Internet???? Forcing sites to shut down, harrassment? It's ART, people!!! http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no.../angryfire.gif

The Internet was originally envisioned to be a place where people could come to share information and ideas in a free-form environment. In the world we live in, I guess, that is virtually impossible. With a few exceptions (such as Ironworks), I would dub the "Internet experiment" as a dismal failure, killed by the cruelty of mankind. Pretty soon there will be nothing left but corporate "billboard" sites and sex rooms.

Ridiculous!

Well, Thomas was threatened because he removed art, not showcased it. Someone was showing art that was against policy, so it was removed. Then whoever knows the artist that had his certain works removed threatened Thomas with bodily harm.

Thomas is a good guy, but he doesn't put up with crap like that, and frankly neither would I. This was his only logical move.

I agree with your points though, it is rediculous. Grand experiement indeed.

That was one of the first sites I ever went to on the net.http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif

Whoever sent those threats can bloody well feel DAMN proud! They've just spoilt a whole community's worth of work!

I hope it doesn't get to the extent of permenant shutdown. http://www.tgeweb.com/cgi-bin/ubb/no...les/ponder.gif

Well, we (the elfwood community) have been told that the shutdown is indefinite. Whether that's true or not is up for speculation I guess. But as far as anyone is concerned at this time: its gone forever.
