More comes to mind like trying to say the sale date of the board was in May, but the announcement was made in August this year. Because there is one word coming to mind awfully clearly–betrayed. I cannot even put into words how I am feeling–almost.

Plus, many EU citizens on the board are already exerting their GDPR rights, but many Canadian, US and Australian citizens are left trying to figure how to sort through this downward spiral of our online home.
So, the legal repercussions are astounding. There are many people that have visited the board, including top Indie authors, like Hugh Howey and Jasinda Wilder, that have made home in the past. IT IS A SCARY SITUATION for CREATIVES! I have never seen anything like this. The VirtualScope TOS was changed to reflect that all posts and personal information collected now belongs to the new owners, and many of the authors, that used their pen names, book covers, links, and information to do business on the board suddenly are finding themselves with the possibility of this third party laying claim to their copyrighted content. What was the best resource to find out about the Indie Industry is becoming quickly a billboard for advertising because of years of spidered/crawled post content. It has been a corner stone resource for me in my writing career.Īnd now because of a new owner grab and their TOS change without informing the users of the board, it is now quickly becoming a wasteland. I have made many friends over the years, hired editors, formatters and cover designers. And I have learned what I know about self-publishing a lot from this place and the people that visit. and all hell has broken loose on the board.
A place I have called my online home since 2009 has been recently bought by a company called VerticalScope, Inc.
