Honestly guys - at this time we do not know for sure what actually happened.
We DO KNOW that IAMTAN had been in "trouble" for a long time. By the public message that we get when we try to access IAMTAN it appears that they just stopped paying the bills to keep the site up. The "owners" of that site - whoever they are had become unreachable and unresponsive about 4 months ago with the last communication from them to even the Moderators of that site being around June 2012.
IAMTAN2 was supposed to be our "backup plan" for our community. It was a site built by a fellow tanning member of IAMTAN and that member housed the server and built the Board. Mysteriously and with no information, that site went down within 48 hours of IAMTAN???
Though I have the personal email of that member, there has been no answer to email inquiries so far. Though it has been only 20 hours since the email was sent to the creator of IAMTAN2 on November 6, 2012.
A handful of friends - IAMTAN/2 members have banded together to create and moderate this new public site so that we can continue to pursue and enjoy the comraderie of our fellow tanning friends.
This site is FREE and housed on proboards. This will hopefully eliminate the fear that our server/site will go down again due to personal issues with some unknown "owner".
The original group of us that discussed the need for this site all became the moderators and designers of this site starting on the afternoon of November 6, 2012. It is an ongoing community project and I am SURE we will stumble at times but the overarching reason we are here is for our fellow Tanning friends to discuss issues both important and trivial to us.
Please join us, contribute, and make suggestion on how we can tweak and improve our Tanning Board.
TAN ON!!!!
