Lots of mail! A message from the owner!

Hi there! I made this page two years ago as I was trying to rekindle my love for mmd and combine it with an interest in lost media! Clearly, people in the community do want a resource like this and I have no intention of taking this blog down!

Unfortunately, I fell inactive. It was too much for me to take on at the time. I’m not active on Tumblr to begin with. I will still respond to mail when I can, this will typically be when I make a post on my own blog or update my VocaDeals master post. Please bear with me.

I’m very sorry for not responding sooner. I have made a post in the past stating that I was looking for new writers on the site. While someone has approached me, there’s still a need to find active writers. I myself have posts that need to go up but because I’m focused on other projects, I haven’t put much energy here.

I am more active on twitter and manage the VocaDeals account on twitter more as a lot of the time, I end up window shopping.

I encourage writers interested in lost media and MMD to step forward and DM me when they can and I’ll respond when they can. I even allow submissions of posts if you only want to do a one time thing.

Accounts like this take a lot of time and energy. There’s so much content out there that it’s easy to pick one and blog out it. I promise to answer questions when I can! I think this blog has plenty of potential, the only thing stopping it right now is a lack of investment.

Thank you for keeping up with us even though we’re inactive. We really appreciate all the questions we’ve received. ❤

The disheartening end

Previously on my last post back in March of 2021, I discussed the potential grim future of this blog and unfortunately, it has come to pass.

I had been fearing this for a long time. I am not active here and I have not received enough people looking to write for the blog.

My own interest in the topic is long gone sadly and I would be super happy to see users take up the mantle themselves if they wish to continue this. There are so many assets out there that would make this a fun topic for a lot of people. I was excited to cover it in 2018 but my feelings changed.

I am happier and more motivated with the other things I'm doing now, but that does not mean, I can't help look at this blog with gloom. I feel I was too eager to dive into this topic and didn't give it enough thought. The blog will remain up for archival as said.

For the next little bit, I'm happy to take questions about the blog itself, why I started it, etc. I just won't be responding to search requests myself.

Aside from any questions about the shutdown, this is the end of LostMMD.

Message from the Owner

Hello, to my surprise when I hopped on today, more mail and some answered questions have appeared. While I still remain inactive, and am still very inactive, please feel free to contact me through DMs here. Speaking of writers, another writer may soon join us. We hope they are treated well and that they can help users find the items they’re looking for.

There are some other touchy subjects I’d like to quickly discuss...

My own role on LostMMD:

I started the blog back in 2018 as a way to get back into MMD but have since lost passion since then and now the most I use MMD for myself is making renders or quick videos compared to the spark I had when I was a teen. The subject isn’t super fun for me anymore.

This has brought my role into question so I’ve determined that while I will still be the owner of LostMMD, I will only be answering the occasional mail and managing the writers. Even though I’ve had articles and updates in my backlog, I don’t have the motivation to finish them.

Granted, I’ll still be very inactive but this is a role that’s more comfortable for me at this time.

My DMs:

Like I’ve stated, my DMs will remain open for those who are interested in writing. My DMs are also open to those who are writers already if they have questions. Though from today, if I receive a DM from someone seeking help looking for a model, please don’t expect me to help you. I’ve received on recently and had to try and politely refuse and explain something some may see as grim.

The Potential Grim Future:

While I don’t like the idea of this, there is a chance of me shutting down operation of the blog in the near future. The amount of writers is low and activity remains low even from myself. If the activity remains in the state it is now, I will consider halting further operation of the blog. There is a time frame for this and I do not want to discourage writers from joining or becoming inactive because of this. While I will not say when this frame is at the end, I will say this: LostMMD will remain up on tumblr for archival purposes. Until a decision is made, I encourage writers to keep writing as well as join us until then.

STATUS

Hello everyone! This is just a message to let you know that LostMMD is not dead. We haven’t had time to look for any models since the last post. I will be making a short one soon however. I would like you to also know I am looking for new people to join our team! If you are interested please feel free to send me a message!

A Message for all Followers!

Hey! If your following the blog, thank you! I have a post for another stage coming up but it might be up later this week or next week. It is one I found but, I still need to adjust some textures as the locale on my PC can break it, I plan on going in-depth for it too and getting as many pictures as possible as it’s a pretty big stage. I have no idea if Deru has anything lined up at all right now but I do have a small thing to mention...

YOU CAN SUBMIT YOUR OWN POSTS & ASK US QUESTIONS!

I’ve had these in for awhile. Being in this community for awhile, I’m one of many who’ve seen it evolve. You can ask us anything and submit posts to us regarding old MMD content. We’d love to answer your questions and even maybe learn about content we didn’t know existed. I didn’t know about the Angel Pie Models until Deru told me about them and made a post.

“BUT HOW DO I FIND OLD CONTENT?”

Easy! It’s not easy to find on our page but I’ve made a page dedicated to helping others find old content.

You can find that page here: https://lostmmd.tumblr.com/how-to-find-lost-content

If you end up finding a new resource for looking for MMD content, you can even submit a post about it and we’ll check it out. If we like it, we will approve the post.

WE DO HAVE A PROCESS FOR SUBMISSION APPROVAL!

This blog follows the rules of creators and will not do anything against the rules. Also no 18+ content. It is allowed to be somewhat suggestive but the moment it steps over the line, it will not be approved. Here are the rules for all submissions:

Must be related to MMD.

if a distribution of content, you must provide proof that the author authorized it in some form.

You are responsible for your own post.

DO NOT INFLUENCE THE COMMUNITY TO HARASS AUTHORS OR OTHER USERS.

All content must respect the rules provided by the authors.

And of course, Please refrain from R18+ content.

Once approved, it will be posted and all credit goes to you. If any users are influenced by your post and begin to harass authors, we will contact you about potentially taking it down or finding a new solution, ultimately, we won’t make the final decision, if you want to keep it up, you have to do something about it. Not us. It’s the same with my own and Deru’s posts, we are responsible for ours.

THERE ARE NO DRAW BACKS ON QUESTIONS

Anything asked, we’ll answer as long as it concerns MMD.

That’s all I have to say for now other than to help promote us. I’d like for more word to spread especially at the end of the month when I make a list of everything found last month to then. Having people know about us, helps us when it comes to finding content or the beginning of a long hunt for something. Until then, please Stay tuned.
