Revision as of 23:47, 14 June 2013
The bulletin that was posted up on November 9, 2012.
TinierMe sent a email on the 9th November with some bad news. They announced the end of all Selfy-ness, the end of Tinierme. Sadly, they have closed the site.
In the email, it was told that all G-Coins transitions would come to a halt on the 9th of November, and it site would close on the 10th of December.
Reason of Closure
Users of the site were displeased of the reason the site closed down. The reason was somewhat "revealed" on December 10th, 2012; when trying to acces the site on/after December 10th, a pop-up appeared that states "After 3 years, we've decided that TinierMe had run its course..." in the second line of the paragraph. Users were (and are still) upset at this, feeling that they have closed down for no reason.
The note that replaced the TinierMe website.
The most possible reason is an incident in Japan involving gachas on online game sites, stated that the certain "game mechanics are illegal" because the gachas on websites in Japan (gachas are on other websites in different forms, not only on TinierMe if you didn't already know that) are possibly prompting users to pay extreme fees just to play gachas. This is the most likely reason that TinierMe had closed.
The Letter
In the first paragraph of the letter, the letter said "It is with deep regret that we announce the cancellation of TinierMe...". The first paragraph also thanked the users of TinierMe, and then stated the important dates throughout the paragraph. The letter ended with:
"Thank you again for playing,
Best regards,
The TinierMe Team"
