What's up with MangaGamer's ask.fm?

[Infernoplex]

I wanted to visit MangaGamer's ask.fm a moment ago and suddenly I discovered that it's basically gone O____O ... This was the link for MG's account: http://ask.fm/MangaGamerStaff ...

What I see when I visit that link is this:

So what's going on O____O ... Why did MG got banned from ask.fm? They weren't posting anything bad from what I know and most of the questions and answers were informative. It's a shame all of that is gone now ...

Probably because Mangagamer is known for distributing eroge in general, so maybe they took down their account under ask.fm's guidelines after knowing this?

MG had ask.fm for a long time ... I remember it from like 2013 I think ... I could be wrong though xD But I do know that they had it for quite a long time. I find it hard to believe that ask.fm banned them because of MG's business. Even if that's the case, ask.fm really needed a lot of time to figure it out then xD

Edit: Okay, I decided to check ask.fm's guidelines and their terms and from what I see here, I am guessing MG got suspended because of a possible adult-rated photo ... Here's an excerpt I find interesting:

What’s not OK to share?
Sometimes it can be really tricky to figure out what is and is not appropriate to post. For example, remember that the following content is NEVER allowed on ASKfm:

• Pornographic or sexually explicit images.

...

I am guessing somebody asked MG's something about some of their VNs and either the asker or MG posted a link to a 18+ rated image and then somebody else (or a rogue asker xD) reported it and then MG got suspended ... Makes sense to me ... But I am still kind of sad for that, I kind of followed MG's ask.fm from time to time ...

The MG staff are pretty active on twitter. Its not as convenient but you could create a twitter list and follow them through that. They are pretty good about responding to questions, not through the MG as much as their personal accounts.

They weren't particularly active anymore on their ask.fm account anyway, but most of their staff members have their own ask.fm accounts too which are still active. But if they post something on their ask.fm account they usually also link it on Twitter, so solidbatman's suggestion would the right way to go and just check out their Twitter channels. They also post more progress updates about their work there.

I am aware of their twitter accounts, I do follow doddler, kouryuu and some others but I liked the convenience of ask.fm Yeah, I have found individual ask.fm accounts easily, thanks for the suggestion, I actually had it bookmarked for some time, this is where I am going to follow them now ...
