I've figured out since that shout box post last night, the GoGoGadgetClub DA group got hacked. I find this saddening and disgusting what has happened ... but not too surprising. Beyond people with normal fan art and fan reading taste, the group was riddled with twisted paedophiles and it had an open door to members jumping into a position of power. That's my guess how it got targeted. I have no idea how this is fixable. I don't have any ties to the group outside normal membership which I've always been fine with.
Upsetting still is the fact content is now in the group, which absolutely is no place for it.
Let's hope the other groups do not get targeted as well.

None sadly. Two others and myself have posted to Butterfly's sister wall about this. She hasn't said anything at least in the open. Meaning she might have talked to someone in private and if that's the case, that doesn't help shed light on this. Editing in: I just noticed it's your Birthday . I hope it was a good one outside news of what happened to the group.

That first part of your comment is what I meant by content that has no place in the group. In fact that's what I was posting to her wall about. I said while the group is accepting submissions again, I felt uncomfortable submitting with that stuff sitting in the faves folder and I asked if she'll be removing them.
As for everyone's lost art and fan fictions. With the exception of fetish which you guys know I don't tolerate. I'm thinking about making a thread for what was lost, for people to re-post here. Also I can see where issues surround that. One getting the word out such a thread exists. All the Gadget groups I pay attention to have seemingly been abandoned by their leaders and those who normally post to them aren't keen on reading journal entries. So what could be said in those groups ( Gadget-Universe & IGLovers )? Second, I know both you and Ynnep48 have your own sections here. However I'd be cool with you guys posting to your heart's content anything you guys lost in the group, not already here.

Pretty sad, since it was such a good group, and has stood out from the rest. Hopefully it gets sorted. It’s all a bit creepy to me..

You and me both. I just looked at Butterfly's sister's profile again. Still no replies. The first person to reach out to her happened back on the 6th, second on the 7th. Me five days ago. Another thought here. Anyone thinking about making a new grou ... ... I'll do it. GoGoGadgetReboot is now live! www.deviantart.com/gogogadgetrebootAnyone can join as a member but submissions must be approved. You guys know the only thing that doesn't fly with me. You can see everything else got a folder but fan creation specific series. To that, I'm open ears to thoughts.

Tell me what you'd like it named and it's yours. Do note people will be able to submit fan work of your work to that folder.

Welcome, I have the feeling in short time Ynnep48 might be making the same request for her series, and if she does it will be added too. The global limit is four submissions a day by the way.

Sorry for the long delay on what happened to the main group, I want to post an update about it and on what really happened. It was her DA account that got hacked and attacked 2 of her groups that she was a founder of and she was using an outdated password and surprisingly they didn't touch any of her art in her gallery, this also happened when she got a new phone so it might be a combination of things on how it happened. After this happened, she did major changes, but sadly the damage already done and after speaking with her, we both decided to close the group. She hardly goes on DA anymore only because she is a very busy person with a family with a full time job outside of the internet, So I respect her wishes to close it.
I'm very sad and angry about this happening, but I see where she is coming from since 10 years of collecting all of the awesome artwork is all lost and the majority of the artist are not on DA anymore and a lot haven't came back to their galleries in years.
Meanwhile, I'm glad there is another IG group on DA and I just posted it up on my status on DA, even though people don't really read them, at least it's still there.
Anyways again, I'm so sorry for everything that has happened on DA and it took me long for an update. I've been going though a lot of personal problems on my end for the past 6 months where I can't share online. I hope everybody has fun in the new group and I hope a lot of the popular artwork gets added on there.

Thank you for that status update shout out! Hope things get better for both of you. Today I've been submitting works to the group from members across DA. Works I haven't seen before. So far two of the artists have allowed their art to enter but they decided not to join. One artist I tapped twice ( hasn't decided yes or no to gallery submissions yet ). Great looking work and has a piece I want in featured since it goes between series.
