Content: On November 29th, a copycat site named IsAnybodyDown [9] was created, mimicking the original site's format featuring user submitted adult photos. On April 19th, IsAnybodyUp was shut down and sold to the anti-bullying site BullyVille [4] for $15,000, [8] which featured an open letter explaining why the site was removed. The letter has since been removed but was pasted on the Eurogamer Forums [3] on April 20th (shown below). It’s been a little over a year from the first post on Is Anyone Up and its crazy to think that the few posts I did with my friends to get back at a few girls that broke our hearts would turn into what it did. I started the site with zero dollars, I had -$120 in my bank account and had to ask my mom for her credit card to pay for the $9 Server bill. Running this site has been an uphill battle to say the least. From the Server Company's bills to the lawyers taking people’s money promising they could get your images down to Facebook, PayPal, Live Nation, A Day to Remember and the countless others who tried to shut me down, beat me up or the girl who stabbed me and yet we are still here. The site was started for the scene and I tried to keep it that way as long as I could by supporting bands and giving them reasonable prices on ad space. The bills were getting too insane and I had to turn to the porn game for extra money but it’s too shady and, in my opinion, it ruined the site. That and my appearance on Anderson Cooper didn’t help.
