Beast's Lair is dead right now.
All this time, it was hosted for free by ProBoards. Well uh, I don't know all the details, but it would seem that discussing eroge and hosting fanfics is against their rules. A formal warning was issued last night. Beast's Lair went down I think sometime after 10:00 am today in my time zone.
Is this the end of the community forever?
Hopefully not. Many of the more prominent members were discussing moving the messageboard to a different server. This may be happening right now, however, it's possible that any of the content from the board prior to all this that isn't saved on hard drives (thank goodness I also host my Nasuverse fics on FF.net!) may be lost forever.
I do sometimes talk to Dark Pulse, the author of my favorite Tsukihime fanfic. I'm gonna ask him through FF.net for an update on all of this later tonight. For now, though, I refuse to accept this as the end of our community. If worst comes to worst, we may have to start over from scratch, but if there's one thing I've come to believe about fans of Nasu and Takeuchi, it's that we won't die; not even when we're killed.
