Girl group T-ara's largest fansite, 'T-ara Dot Com' will be closing down.
On the 30th, the fansite administrators have posted a notice on their homepage saying that 'T-ara Dot Com will soon be shutting down'.
The fansite administrator also added that: "This was my first time in trying to run a fansite, and during the time that (the site) has been running, I would like to thank those that have sincerely worked hard. I hope that I can meet everyone again in the future"
Below the post, says 'Site Shut-down: August 15th'; stating that the said date would be the site's last day online officially.
Overall, T-ara Dot Com is T-ara's largest fansite, accumulating over 4-million visits. T-ara will be making a comeback on August 15th, the day the site officially shuts down; making T-ara lose their biggest fan community at the same time as their comeback.
The recent news regarding T-ara's Hwayoung definitely had a big impact on the fansites that have been online. T-ara Dot Com has over 36,000 registered members. As such, the notice on the homepage left the fans in a shocked state.
Although the site has members that support both sides of the current situation are fighting to keep the site alive, it is not likely that the site will continue after the said closing date.
