The WWOEC Refugee Thread

[The Laughing Man Anomaly]

Sorry about the multi-post. I kept getting a 504 bad gateway thing and thought my reply didn't go through.

Say, as I doesn't always have an internet connection and when I do, it's slow, I stored some of the old Simpsons (and more specifically Lisa) related stuff from wwoec.

Mostly Shaggy, GKG and Lennox's stuff but also some stuff from beefalo and FairyCosmo.

No, I won't post it here as it isn't mine, but if needed, these artists can PM me and I'll send it to them.

PS: I also get a Bad Getway alert despite my message being posted.
PPS: Also found some Killbot's stuff.

Hi, I'm somebody who used to hang around over at WWOEC forum. I'm totally retired from this line of business, and I do understand I have no right to be here. However, I just have to know. What happened to WWOEC? I googled it and I know its gone, but I can't find why or how it happened....

I'm truly sorry to be bother, can someone sum up the demise of WWOEC? I just found out abut it today, and it really breaks my heart.....

P.S. Tall dude from Boston, sorry for not being around. But I have completely different life now. PM me? I lost your number when I switched my phone....

Not a bother

can someone sum up the demise of WWOEC? I just found out abut it today, and it really breaks my heart.....

Basically there wasn't enough money coming in anymore, especially with a big drop in Lusttoons membership. (A lot of the material was being reposted.) On top of that Cobra has had some serious health problems, so it probably wasn't worth the stress anymore. At first he only hinted at a shutdown while he was looking for less-expensive hosts that would take a porn site, but then on February 18 he posted: “Sorry about all this. We are closing the doors on the 25th.”

And an hour or so later everything went offline.

I guess he worried that people would start downloading everything and would get a surcharge for exceeding the bandwidth cap. But there could have been other factors.

Well, as I posted in a thread on palcomix right after it happened...

Andreamedis here, same as there and everywhere else I go (except for youtube. Whoever that is using my name on there isn't me. Grr...). Anyway, I saw the whole thing. Cobra started a thread called "All Good Things..." and made his post with nothing but emotes. Confused all of us who saw it, and Nurse Katie assured us (truly believing this, mind you) that if the site were closing down as many of us were fearing, Cobra would be straightforward about it and not tell us through stupid emotes. She even went so far as to say that if she was wrong, we'd be free to hunt her down and shave her head or something. Needles to say, she was wrong, and I owe her a visit to her hospital to press the nurse call button and pretend to be asleep when she comes in. So anyway, Cobra finally told it to us straight out that wwoec was closing on the 25th, and that he was hoping to reopen it again on a cheaper server, but he didn't say when or even if it would happen. Not even a full day later, wwoec was gone, and here we are.

Andreamedis and FS, thanks for filling me in..... Sigh~, that is just too bad.... I feel like I just heard passing of my old girlfriend or something. It is a crazy sentiment....

Thank you guys, here are token of my appreciation... Take care....

[Demon Casket]

Thanks for catching me up on things.

What I loved so much about our site was that it was a place to grow. Not just as pervs, lol, but as artists, in many ways.

Here's to around 20 years or more of the good ol' WWOEC.
It shall be missed, deeply.

Cheers.

Another WWOEC refugee checking in. I'm starting threads both here at TJA and at Palcomix, and would dearly love for someone to tell me how to get a gallery started here. Cobra used to manage a gallery of my stuff over at WWOEC; luckily, I've got most of it backed up.

Another WWOEC refugee here. I have to say I appreciate WWOEC for what it was now... sadly after its gone.

For me, it means a bit of renewal. As I lost ton of contacts, some artworks and many commission-client info... I will do my best to get things rolling very soon again.

Looking forward to interacting with more TJA folks!

[Toon Storm]

PLZZZZ tell me this isn't permanent!!! is it host issue or is cobra calling it quits.

[rogermaris9]

Well....so far, it looks like he has called it quits. Health issues, etc. Sorry, Toon Storm.

[prfctcellrulz]

Well....so far, it looks like he has called it quits. Health issues, etc. Sorry, Toon Storm.

I actually don't mind. I've already gotten quite set up here and as soon as Cheetah updates the place I'll be more home sweet home.

[rogermaris9]
