What happened to Game Show Kingdom?
Apparantly, the blog was terminated on Wednesday or Thursday, for reasons unknown.

Considering a certain someone continuously posted his filth there, no wonder it got shut down. Keeps on threatening, but nothing gets done. I did send a letter to Google a few days ago. The start of the end? |

Bobby has continued his blog on a lesser known site: (link removed)
I honestly didn't know about the new blog myslef until another frequent commenter on his old blog shared it with me on Google+.
Given Andy Nguyen's Wheel of Fortune Recap blog closed down this week as well, I'm certain this has something to do with blogger. Two possibilities are that they are terminating blogs with frequent trolling (as Michael Taylor and Whatever000 frequently comment on Andy's blog as well) or Sony doesn't like all these show recaps being archived and ordered to have these blogs terminated. I sincerely hope it's not the latter for this site's sake.
EDIT: After further research I see that Andy has moved his blog over to Word Press as well: (link removed)

I think these two troublemakers in question is the key reason why game show forums and game show blogs are turning people away and such sites are gradually shutting down as a result. The administrators can only put up with them for so long. Heck, maybe it was one of those troublemakers that resulted in GSN shutting down their message boards in July 2013. The administrators of these sites may have believed that the only solution to stop the constant threatening and disruptive behavior from those users - plus they were uncontrollable and unstoppable - is to shut down for good. I am afraid to find out what may happen to these boards someday. We lost BigJon's forums (more due to the spambots and BigJon not being as active due to his illness, but if not for the spambots, it would have folded due to S.S.), and we nearly lost Buy a Vowel Boards. There is even rumor that G-R may be on the endangered species list too. I'm really glad the forum formerly run by Matt Ottinger doesn't have these troublemakers, but it could be more because they closed registration until further notice.

They mentioned something about the server used, not the members. From Brendy, at the time the board was closing: Link: Message Boards will be closed as of Thursday, July 25 |

I have a funny feeling that GSNAngel probably made that message just like a pacifier in order to stop complaints, and to shut down the forums for good. To sum it up, i think the chances of GSN launching a new message board is very, very slim to zero percent. |
