About the activity or inactivity of Fanpop's staff and moderators

A fairly active user has just told me that she hasn't heard from the team in ages.

I've said this in response to her answer of another post of the same topic, but:

Had they really simply abandoned the site, wouldn't it be quite irresponsible to just leave everyone in the site be, completely unmoderated?

Are they not obligated to only either keep watching over everyone or have the site shut down completely?

I also find it very interesting how a fairly active user has not heard from them in ages, yet the official Twitter account's most recently liked tweet was just from last December, of 2020.

For reasons concerning an inaccessible account I used when I was extremely naive and little, and that I would like to either regain access to or just have completely shut down, I would really like to believe there is something I don't know, and that at some point or another, they would come to drop by and see what is going on.

Because I have indeed been contacting them for the past several days and heard completely nothing.

This is in no offense to the team, and although it may seem otherwise, I am really just saying things as I see them.

Do you have any thoughts?

I think they should still be around. I had reported a user for doing mean comments to people and that user was gone for about an hour or two later.

That was kind of an AI autoban I think. If enough people report a single user (especially one who has no icon and what not) the system recognizes that there's an issue and the person gets banned. It's like how the site autodetects spam and bans those users. At least that's the general consensus that I've been hearing.

There was this one dude who was literally harassing people for months before his main account got banned. And he still comes back under new screen names. Pretty sure it's also how alot of us get away with the amount of swearing we do and why talking about sex has also become the norm on this site. I'm not saying that that's a bad thing on principal but back in the day that kind of stuff didn't fly.

Are they not obligated to only either keep watching over everyone or have the site shut down completely?: My two cents is that with a site with such low traffic it doesn't really matter that they jumped ship in the grander scheme of things.

I also find it very interesting how a fairly active user has not heard from them in ages, yet the official Twitter account's most recently liked tweet was just from last December, of 2020: I've noticed this myself. I feel like they may or may not check on fanpop every now and again but I haven't really been able to contact them in a while. Again, back in the day I would PM them and one would reply personally within a few days. Sometimes within hours.

Because I have indeed been contacting them for the past several days and heard completely nothing.: The same had happened with me regarding various glitches and that one troll I mentioned above. I've been met with radio silence for the most part.
