Topic: Otaku Mascot site has been taken down... |

In a string of events that are almost comedic, Otaku World's Otaku Mascot website has been completely deleted from the internet.
I recently scraped the whole site for all the window sitter files hosted on that site, and noticed that out of 1081 files, 4 were missing (which was not too shabby for a site that's been up for around 2 decades). I also noticed the there was a section of "adult mascots" that had also been removed.
There was an email address listed on the site to contact the webmaster, so I figured it was worth a shot. I send an email with the four broken links (and about the adult mastots (sigh... historical purposes)). I heard back within a day or two.
Their response was to take the whole Otaku Mascot website offline. They said that the whole site had broken links and was worthless to keep online (but this is not true; almost every page works perfectly, hence me being able to scrape 1077 mascots from their site).
Regardless, all the window sitters that were available have been uploaded on the site, so nothing was truly lost (but still, what the heck?) |
