well I don't know about cgiboobfantasy.com but Yahoo groups are INCREDIBLY unreliable and you should never be shocked or amazed if one dissapears. I lost 2 of mine in a row a couple years back and re-started one of them 3 times @_@; all before they were eventually hacked and deleted wihout my knowledge. Fun.

Hacked and deleted?

Probably more like one of Yahoo's group admins stumbled across it, arbitrarily decided it was a TOS violation, and removed it. They seem to do that a lot.

The moral is: never use yahoo for anything, ever.

Sometimes, some artists can't host them anymore or have to sing to pay sites.

Of course, this leaves room for new artists.

I believe BoobRepli (cgiboobfantasy) moved over to the Expansion Mansion. I saw something to that effect, but I had lost interest long ago and decided to say screw it.

I find Yahoo email better than Hotmail or Gmail, but that's me and my decade old yahoo email account...

And Yahoo Groups seem to have about the same level of tolerance as DA, nudity is normally safe, but if you start to get further off the beaten path pray your not noticed.

I dont think that he (umgos) was deleted by a group admins his deviantart profile is gone too. He had been doing more main stream things before he left backgrounds and such.

Damn! He was deffinately a huge tallent in the community. I suppose all we can do is wait for any news. I know he recently opened a DA account. If he closed his sites due to neggative feedback, it was probably from the DA site. They have more than their fare share of pricks (And that includes many of their administrators).

Was wondering what happened to his page. Damn shame... he's one of the best CG artists out there IMHO.

what has happend to one of my favorite websites marks morphs?

Marks morphs was around a coupla weeks ago. I can't vouch for all sites, but one resource to try is The Wayback Machine (Internet Archive). Have managed to find a few 'club 404' sites that way. Has pictures most of the time, but downloads usually aren't backed up.
