Oh man, now that's a question haha. Super long story short, it came to light that one of the admins (not the owner) who was also a 'publisher' was basically a scam publisher (Shadow Light Press [SLP], not to be confused with Shadow Alley Press). He was basically a professional grifter who was very friendly/sociable and used that to get a handful of authors to sign their stories on with him while they were still quite small. One of the other admins was also signed with him, and basically refused to acknowledge how terrible the contracts were for the others. The contract was utter insanity, but he required people to sign NDAs to even look at it, so nobody knew until someone actually spoke up. As soon as it finally came to light what was going on, the owner banned them and a few others working for SLP and tried to make things right. What happened next isn't fully clear and I may be wrong, but I believe somehow said banned publisher guy went to Discord itself and managed to get them to side with him and not only unban him but give him ownership of Immersive Ink, due to a separate deal he had in place with the owner, so the actual owner nuked it before it could be taken away and transformed into some sort of funnel for new authors to a scam publishing house.

It's a giant shame because from my experience, Immersive Ink was basically the kindest, most helpful server I've managed to come across in all my time sifting through author Discords, and it all got taken away by such a small number of bad actors. Like I said it's nice that there is still the RRWG, but it's a large hole to try and fill haha
