I don't have any useful info, but that's never stopped me from blathering before and won't now either. It started to have problems for some about a year ago. Thread here
https://modthesims.info/m/showthread.php?t=648881 At the time of my first response in that thread I'd posted on ATH about spam entries and they (applesauce) had answered in less than a week. I attempted ( in their comments section) to alert them about the issues/worries that peeps here were having with their site( my second post in linked thread). The next time I saw the owner respond to comments was maybe April-ish of this year. All previous comments were gone as well as a large amount of the links . The owner opened up a registration thingy and received quite a few offers of help to delete spam/add new entries etc. Digi ( always fighting the good fight!, much appreciated) and others were commenting and trying to keep it up. Never saw the owner again.
I know I've read recently that someone else is trying to create a similar site, but I can't recall any details and a search of my recent bookmarks was useless. ATH was a really useful site and fed my cc addiction to a T. I don't do any of the Sims social media stuff, so I have no idea if applesauce was/is active in the community. Hope they are doing okay and they just stepped away. So ya, I got nothing.
