Since March 31st, I have received nothing but constant PM's from concerned Filmet members and NOTOSCUM supporters regarding the closure of Filmet. True enough, when I tried to open the site I am greeted by this logo which i found unusual. After a few more squints at the monitor, I tried to check Filmet again. Thinking that it's another one of those maintenance days, I shrugged it off as nothing more than just that: Maintenance going on.
But I've soon realized that something was utterly wrong with the site. This is not your usual maintenance. Right below the glorious NBI logo was this paragraph:
THIS WEBSITE IS DECLARED CLOSED PENDING FINAL LEGAL DECISION.
Through filed complaints and vested authority (People of the Republic of the Philippines vs. Asinas and co. Case No. 0386219B0541E, City of Makati; With court jurisdiction probe of the Judiciary council of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada), the files in this server are hereby confiscated and committed under investigation by the National Bureau of Investigation pending legal action served to owner, administrators and partners in crime by the aggrieved parties.
So I tried to, again, deny the fact that this may be the real deal. Of course, I wanted to believe that it's merely an April Fools' joke, but after speaking with some people who are directly or indirectly related to this issue, I've soon realized that there might be a bit of a problem.
I would not want to disclose any more details regarding the closure since I'm not exactly sure what the outcome of the investigation would be. Everything is confiscated; Philmu's mods would be more than willing to surrender all the logs from the infamous Tixsell thread that was un-fortunately, locked. (Talk about fairness, neutrality and all that shiznit. TSK.)
But no matter. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THE FIGHT. With or without the mothership, we will continue to invade these scums 'to kingdom come.'
Them, and their engrish dumbtwits. Go figure.
