What happened to TouhouBook?

You may be wondering: What happened to TouhouBook?
Plenty of people, I'm sure, are wondering this very thing at this very moment.
Facebook has decided to go on a roleplay purge. I'm sure whoever has joined this site has realized that by now.

What we really need to do now is find a site, quite like facebook, to redo our lovely TouhouBook.
But what site is like facebook you may ask?
That's what we all want to know. ;w;

If you all have any ideas on what site to use for our new TouhouBook, please post them here! I have a few ideas for sites. I also have a friend who has copied facebook on a free website provider. If you all approve of that idea, I can ask him if I can bring a community onto it.

Dunno... A forum looks good too !
But I won't be against this idea

I..have a suggestion but...

I think it was a purge on most of us. I talked to a few people, and people who inetracted with Erin Yagakoro are gone. She was a big problem in the Touhoubook community. There were a lot of things he, yep, it was a he, did to make us made or targets. Also, i talked to a few people from other RP communities, and they're fine. I think we were targeted as like a warning.

Maybe Myspace. I have my old account of Aya there, so does Koishi, and a very few handful of others. I heard Sanae is making a account there too. So far Myspace is the ony suggestion I have ; n ;

What did he do?

I want all suggestions we can get! And of course, we can always keep the forum! I really do like the forum too! : D

Myspace is supposedly going to purge soon and supposedly have been starting to do it for a while now. I wouldn't be surprised if we all were disabled there soon after we make the accounts.

I am starting a Myspace account though, which I have yet to start. I will update everyone with the account as soon as I make it.

that's what I heard. I'm not saying it was, or wasn't Erin.

What we have to keep in mind is that FB isn't the only site that purges. MySpace is the most obvious answer, but they purge too, from what I hear. A lot of social networking sites will purge RPers. What we need is a social networking site that is controlled by one of us, though that will be VERY difficult to pull off, but a challenge I'm willing to accept when I can get adequately funded.

Despite myspace being on a purge, even if they did, at least we're prepared now with the forums. So better safe than sorry

I know a plenty of people who weren't attached to Erin and got deleted as well

But let's not start a poll around Erin.

There's sitemodel.net too, but I dont like it due to the extremely slow traffic and bugs on that site x.x

Once Lunasa puts an Other Links subforum I'll post the suggestion.

Sorry, sorry..your right..shouldn't put the blame on one person.

There is a huge Touhou roleplay group on twitter it seems like.
We can also try there?

Twitter's fine, but it's not like we're limited to just one single thing. We can use this forum as a temporary base of sorts, but also talk to each other through other means like MSN, Steam, Hamachi, Twitter, whatever.

Twitter is awful. It's not worth it IMO. If it's on twitter you won't be seeing me there often.

Not a big fan of Twitter. We should consider all chances first and their viewpoints on roleplayers.

Well here are suggestions:
Myspace
Twitter
Sitemodel

any more suggestions?
or just keep in touch via IM?

Sorry for double post.

But we can also try blogging!
like FC2, wordpress, etc.
I like FC2 the most, since I'm most familiar with it.

Like I said before, I have a friend who has completely copied facebook on a different provider site. I can ask him about the community.

I think finding alternatives won't give us our cool community back , facebook at "that" that we loved, we should make something noticeable , find the hundreds of roleplayers that "died" and message or tell facebook about it, something noticeable. we can't give up

My other suggestion is try a chan site someone I know has and maintains along with a friend 24/7.

Thing is: Their xat site is +18

Lunasa saw it the other day and didn't like it because of how people are OOC. So yeah. Like I said, I can put a large description when the appropiate place to do so is created.

If you message Facebook you will most likely get a message back saying something along the lines of "it violates the rules of facebook" i read the why my account was deactivated and its ageinst the rules to make an account thats not your REAL account

We could always just go by the idea of "one is not enough". We could make accounts on tons of different sites. Although that will completely kill most of our real life lives, I'm sure. xD
