What happened to the old SIfriends?

Hi everybody.
I was a regular SIfriends user, but I took a break from it when I wasn't cutting. I've gone back to cutting now but SIfriends has just... disappeared.
It's such a shame because I knew so many people who depended on the forum as their only "fallback" zone where they could be understood and accepted. =(

Can anybody fill me in on what happened/why it disappeared?
Thanks

I'm really sorry to say that none of us including the Old SIF Staff knew why... we can all have theories and things about it but we will never know if there true or not.

Yeah, for some reason D1 decided to shut it down. Glad you found this site, though!

It's great that you found us. A lot of the old community is here.

How did you find us? Are we showing up on Google now?

Oh, well that's a shame. Thanks for the information all. =)

And yes, I found you through a Google search. It's not the first result, but it's there.

Thanks for rebuilding the site!
