They seem to blame the closing on members posting too much alleged copyright material, links and content, at least that is what they are saying...Sounds like a corporation owns them too...

How will the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) impact us?
IMPORTANT: Forum To Close | The ForteanTimes Forums
You may recall that we have - for a number of years - been asking members to limit the amount of cut and paste that they place within their posts. Despite this, some have persisted in doing so, and as a result there are countless thread-openers and posts that contain acres of copyrighted material. Under the controversial, and not yet adopted, EU Copyright Directive, the merest reference - eg a link and a quoted sentence - could, potentially, require that the site hosting the quote must pay a fee to the originator. The threat of this alone could potentially kill off numerous sites, as there is the possibility it will be retroactively applied. Yes, they’re all “could” and “potentially” and “might” and “threat of..” - but that’s enough for our new owners to view this site - and doubtless all the others in the Dennis stable - as dangerously toxic. And it’s not just the EU Copyright thing, which will apparently apply in the UK regardless of EU membership - this also applies to a potentially even bigger problem: General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).

LETA at time of posting

Yeah she certainly is brown nosing over there, but any who join her place will find out quickly how poorly she runs things and continually shuts down her site without notice for short periods of time, I count 5 times now since she's been around?...lol

What I find upsetting about her is when AB does go down, She will also disappear from Twitter, That's a shady practice. I don't like it one bit, It's psychologically saying, "I have no use for people unless they are active AB members" True moment here. I'm done dealing with that woman. Fake friends are worse than enemies. :/
