We don't currently have any new information to provide. All updates can be found in the first post.

No update because they aren't going to do anything.

Read the thread because people have art work from friends that sadly passed away and rooms that meant something and no coins or yocash will ever replace those feelings or memories. So sadly yes do know that yocash and coins wont ever make up for what has happened because many people just want there art back.

[color=#FFBFFF]hi, i wish paintboard will be enable back and the bronze frames too that we used to put pictures or images we'd like to share[/color]

I've been playing YoWorld since day one when it was YOVILLE in San Francisco! There are so many things in the current version that are ridiculous like all of the Yocash items Yocash Poker to win cool clothes and more. MOST of my original friends and family no longer play the game. We have beautiful, personalized name banners here in the forums! What's the problem/difference with having personized whiteboards in our homes?
As an OG in this game, I can honestly say I miss the days of ZYNGA and the San Francisco version of YoWorld!

its just a guess, but I think it might have been more then an image that was creating issues; once the boards were cracked they would just keep spreading the hack until things were unusable again

not if it were underage doxxing with porn as defined by law of those underage, that is whole highest level of legality/bringing in feds, along with serious company risk than just random dirty pics of adults.

I am disappointed in the decision to remove the Paint Boards from the game. I have 80 small boards and 17 medium boards. All are beautiful and add a unique style. Thank you for your effort to reinstate these collections.

They had NO choice.

Oh I agree

There's always a choice!

You'd be incorrect. I don't know Canada law, but in the US any business with servers that identifies child porn on any device must contact the FBI immediately. This is usually followed by forensic analysis of the server(s) that can take days, up to and including removal of the physical servers and all related back ups.

If that isn't shutting down the game, please tell me what is?

On the contrary, you are incorrect. There is always a choice.

Have you seen what happens to companies that "choose" not to follow the law and cooperate with the authorities when it comes to child porn? I have. It cost the responsible executive his job and eventually the business filed for bankruptcy. So yeah, of course they had a "choice". That choice has consequences....

Did you read the comments you quoted or are you absolutely fine with the kind of stuff that might be the reason for the boards being disabled?

If there is crime and legal stuff involved, it's serious. If there's the potential for a lawsuit, it's serious. BVG is clearly already struggling and if they get into this kind of trouble . . . . Do you want to see the game shut down? None of us like the idea of the boards being disabled, but isn't it better than the possibility of the game going bye bye?

I agree 100% Lisa. Much better for 1 portion of the game to stop working than the whole game. I know what it's like to lose things that you really loved about the game. I'd rather lose what I lost when my acct. got archived than to lose the game itself.

Agree totally! i lost as much as anyone here regarding the paintboards and if i can suck it up and get on with it so can everyone else. We still have the game. BigV says they will try to make it good.
