Overall note: It's been brought to my attention that FanHistory is probably making money off the extra hits generated by this drama. I have rerouted all FH links through an anonymizer to avoid contributing to such revenue. If you'd prefer not to visit FanHistory at all, screencaps of the linked pages are also provided.

If the person requested the information be taken down it should be taken down and done with. I don't see why these people keep putting it back.

I created a couple of pages two weeks ago for the Dramione section of the site but after reading this I'm kind of creeped out. I have a page there too and I don't think I'd want my personal info being mixed in with my fandom info.

If it's anywhere, it might be. Unless this is a personal vendetta, it seems they're restoring the unwanted info just because it's true. If it's true, it stays, wanted or not.

It seems to be one of those situations where once something's on there, it's on there, good luck getting it off. We just have to hope nobody adds details we don't want shown :\

For extra fun, they have a bot now that automatically adds pages for anyone with a Fanfiction.net profile, so the number of names in their catalog is increasing by leaps and bounds.

I've never posted any personal info online so hopefully no one will ever find it and post it there.

I heard about that bot. The names may increase but they are all blank pages, and I doubt anyone will add info to them. So its just inflated numbers.

[dejana]

Yeah, it's pretty lame. I already had a page on there and it added another one for me anyway.

From what I've gathered about the whole situation, it doesn't really surprise me.
