Since last night the messageboards and pretty much the entire site of he-man.org is now dead. Damn shame the site had a decent photo gallery index for the old Masters of the Universe figures

Yea, the site closed Nov 14th.
Doesn't surprise me. Hemang.org was drama central, people have been leaving for a long time because their Mods censor things they don't like. Their moderators would always ban anyone who talked bad about Scott Nietlich or didn't tow the company lines. Say She Ra Dream Works was bad, they would PM "Why are you so toxic" or ban you. https://old.reddit.com/r/MastersOfTh...norg_shutdown/ Not a lot of love for it in recent days. I do miss the earlier days before the moderation hell. It used to be more chill like here.

I hate websites with excessive moderation. One of the best things about this site is Destro lets a lot of stuff go before he steps in... it gets to the point where people are asking "where's Destro?" before he gets involved. Sometimes it's good to let people argue and fight.
That's not to say that he's always slow to act. When people show up spouting racist shit or posting porn, he locks it down fast. I just appreciate that he lets us go at it and blow off some steam from time to time. The whole fiasco with AF... that thread was going for years before he stepped in. I've only been here since Dec '21... has he ever removed an entire thread before that? He's a damn good Admin, in my opinion, and I don't think he gets enough credit.

And yeah, quite a few threads have disappeared over the years. In fact, the moderation here used to be much more heavy handed. I was just becoming actively engaged at the time, so I don't know the ins and outs of it, but four or five years ago, something happened and most of the mods were gone. We saw absolutely zero moderation at all for quite a while... although there wasn't much needed, as we were in between lines and there just weren't many people here.

What a shame. I had been a member there since 2000. I noticed everything except the forums have been gone a long time. I met a lot of good folk there over the years.

Yeah, the writing was on the wall for He-man dot org when everything but the forums was taken down for an overhaul that never came.
The owner wouldn't sell it or anything apparently. I never posted only looked there for news and rumors. |

Believe it or not we?re the most normal lot out there. .Org taught me to be very thankful of this community and our Mods. Quote:
Though when the site was 100% up it was a great resource for MotU collecting. I hadn’t gone on the site in a long time but am sad that it’s gone.

Huh. Too bad. I dabble in MOTU and would stop there occasionally.
