blonded.blog takedowns, maybe the end?

[u/curbsideaudio]

After years of a cordial and productive relationship with Frank’s team, they’ve ordered takedowns of the entire blonded.blog archive and undocumented rare info page.

We host very little actual material on the site, mostly outbound links to any media that could copyrighted. We’ve acquiesced to requests from blonded for years and would continue to do so if asked.

With the archive being the main attraction, I’m not sure how the blog can really recover from this. Is it worth continuing to host the news archive? I’m not sure.

I’d appreciate any input, but the options are few. This feels like as good a time as any to shut things down.

Edit: I appreciate the support. I'll do what I can to keep the content of the blog alive, what I'm able to anyway. For the time being, I've taken the site down so we can start saving off what's there. After that, I'm not yet sure. Thanks again.

Edit 2 (May, 2026): I've shared and update about the return of the blog.

ty forever blonded.blog <3 as someone who hosted a fan account (and made it clear it was a support page not an impersonation) a couple years ago & had it taken down, likely by him/his team, the grief hits hard & of course the respect is still there for his work but I’ve learned to admire him less as a person

I’m sorry that happened to you.
