I am yesterday's "FFnet never paid attention when asked to merge the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Ninja Turtles categories" anon. As FanLib basically copied FFnet's list of fandoms to populate their lists of fandoms, they carried this mistake on their site. I asked them to fix it and they did, less than 24 hours after.

Also, (at least) a fan that worked on FanLib went around LJ posts about the site, being very polite and respectful about people's concerns, despite other fans harsh words and, yes, attacks. So the fans working there and the members were nice people.

The owners though were two-faces, which I understand because users and possible investors are different; but they unashamedly offered to their potential clients fandom/fans/fan!works as commodities, and weren't prepared for their commercial speech leaking to the fans and for the uproar it would cause.

I was just looking back through some of my old LJ posts about Fanlib and my emails from Fanlib (I haven't deleted anything but spam in about 8 years.) I would totally agree with this. The people behind the site were extremely nice to their users, encouraged feedback, and were very quick to change minor things based on good suggestions.

And all that's great, but it doesn't take into consideration the issues with the TOS and the way that the closing of Fanlib was so sudden and without explanation.

For all the drama surrounding it, I have nothing but positive memories surrounding the site. (Minus when it closed.)

They were also a blatant pair of dudebros trying to market their site to more dudebros. They were mindblown when it was pointed out that fanfic is largely a female-driven thing, with a good proportion of older than teenaged women at that. They had no idea who their target population actually was, or how to deal with us.
