We would like to thank the staff at Canis for looking out for the entire community by informing us and several other sites about these efforts. It's genuinely heartwarming to see the broader wolf community come together in this way. It would likely have gone unnoticed if not for the fact that Canis had already locked down their forums, and the specific developer had reached out to them requesting access to the 33,000 IC posts they had locked.
Staff is currently working on attempting to remove the scraped data from any corpora to which it has been added, utilizing the avenues available to us, including GDPR, as we have users from European Union countries and intellectual property laws. As AI continues to grow, we knew this kind of fight would be inevitable, but we thought we had a little more time due to the niche nature of our collective work. We have not yet ascertained the exact amount taken, but we are working under the assumption that they have taken all 156k+ of our in-character posts.
In light of this, we have locked down all archives, IC, and library forums. This means you must be logged in to view any threads. Similarly, our OOC archives, as well as our art studios and character profiles, were already locked down, requiring an approved account to view them. This should prevent further scraping as bots will only be able to scrape the 'No Permissions Page' whenever they try to access these forums.
We love and support you all and take our collective intellectual property in the form of our characters, stories, and writing styles seriously. We hope for the best possible outcome as the 'AI race' becomes increasingly oppressive to creative entities like writers and artists.]]>

Loading Issues / Site Modernization Underway
Most if not all of you have already seen our announcement on Discord, but we wanted to make sure the information was accessible here as well:Hey everyone,
We just wanted to give you a quick update. As I know you've all noticed, the site has been crashing for the past couple of weeks amd slow for the past few months. We are working on a fix right now, which involves running some pretty major updates on the site and modernizing a lot of our custom codes (everything from account switching to the LP system to REs to the separation between OOC, IC and library forums). While we are actively dedicating all the time we can to the modernization effort, this is something that is still going to take some time and we cannot run the updates on-site until we've modernized the code. It would break most functionality on the site and further hinder RP more than the current outages do.
We thank you all for your patience. Once we get the primary codes modernized, we may be able to update and continue RP while we work on some of the more minor to gameplay stuff, but please don't mind our dust in the meantime.]]>

I wanted to pop on here and make a very brief announcement, but Cade has been promoted to co-administrator and will now be admining along side me! Cry will continue to be a mod, and Tasha continues to pop in and out of mod duties when we need help with coding (and we deeply appreciate all of her assistance).
I hope everyone will join me in congratulating and welcoming Cade into her new role!]]>
