Op fojg bericht Nay dat ze gaat stoppen, hier haar bericht:
It is with great sadness and even greater regret that I'm notifying all of you that I plan to retire my site, That Josh Groban Guy, and leave these boards.
I had not intended to post this just yet, but considering some events today, I saw no reason to wait any longer.
This Friday, July 4th, would be the 4 year anniversary of my site. It's been something I dearly, truly loved doing for all of you and for Josh. I have tried desperately to avoid this becoming necessary, and lost a lot of sleep trying to figure out the right thing to do. I know how much you guys (especially the international fans) depend on it, and I did not want to let you guys down. I have tried every possible solution to save the site, but in the end my hands are tied.
Unfortunately, I have been left with no choice because of the relentless, increasingly scary harassment by Louise Miller, a banned ex-member of this forum who now runs her own JG website. My real, off-board life and career have been affected by this person; it's not some "spat" on a message board. I spent three years trying to ignore it and "take the high road" before finally fighting back. Neither approach seemed to make any difference. I told the truth and believed that would be enough, but it wasn't. Finally, I appealed to Josh's team and was promised that help was on its way and that they would finally take a stand to stop it. Six weeks later, there has been no visible action...and even today the unprovoked character assassination continues, here on his own board. Enough is enough.
I have not asked for Louise's site to be taken down, only that she be told the truth; it hasn't happened. As much as I love Josh and all of you (this place is like my second home!)...I have to protect myself and my family and I cannot take the stress and harassment anymore. If the Powers That Be won't speak up and deal with this woman, then there's certainly nothing else I can do except to remove myself as her target. Good luck to whichever one of you she targets next... the only question is how long Josh and his team will allow her to run off supportive fans before they do something to stop it.
Having said that...
I just wanted to give you guys a few days' notice so that you can download any clips that you may want before it goes down for good. Barring any change in the circumstances, I will be pulling the plug on Monday, July 7th.
I love you guys and always will. Thank you for adding so much richness and friendship to my life over these years. Josh, thank you for letting me come along for the ride, at least for a little while...it's been an indescribable journey. Take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and take care of Josh for me.
Peace out.
