Whatever happend to LWS?

So..I know LivingWithStyle is/was a sister site of FCS. Back when FCS had a white background.

Anywho..What happened to LWS?

LWS was bought out by an investor earlier this year, supposedly for $50,000. Before too long, the new owner decided to make some pretty major changes to LWS (wanted to be more family friendly or something). These changes didn't go over well with the staff or the membershp, and a bit of a mutiny occurred, whereupon everyone basically just moved over to a completely new forum, called Casualdiscourse.com. Because of the flaming and animosity on LWS (and the fact that virtually the entire staff quit), the new owner shut down LWS and replaced it with a splash screen that rarely changes, and promised that after a "site redesign" (or something like that), LWS would come back better than ever. That grand re-opening has yet to occur, as far as I know.

A few days ago, CasualDiscourse crashed, and has not come back up. A thread in Drugsandbooze (another former Zoints forum) claims that the server crashed, the backups are corrupted, and the main admin isn't sure he wants to bother reconstructing the site. You could try lurking around other Zoints forums for more info, I guess. The only other ones I remember are LadyMajora, where men are not welcome, and Differentdawn, which seems to be down at the moment.
