Dear Lauren Conrad Online visitors, 

I am sorry to inform you that Lauren Conrad Online is going to be down until further notice. On March 22, 2009 my ex-online friend who hosted my website, Dave Lu, owner of PotterPics and TheirLife.net, deliberately deleted both of my fan sites: Lauren Conrad Online and my other fan site Kate Voegele Online. He then redirected both of my websites to go to his celebrity gossip website TheirLife.net. He did this knowing that I had an interview two days later where I was going to be showing off both of my websites. All of my work from the past three years on Lauren Conrad Online has been completely erased. Since the website was so large, I did not have a complete backup of the website. I have decided not to re-open the website or try to re-build it at this time since EVERYTHING was lost: over 1500 news posts, nearly 30,000 photos, a forum with other 500 members, and more. I am very sorry to the dedicated visitors of Lauren Conrad Online, but I simply do not have the time to completely re-build the website right now being as a working college student. All affiliates: feel free to remove our link from you website. If we ever re-open, I will go out and re-request all of my close online friends.

Luckily enough, I recently paid another online friend to update the gallery and forum of Kate Voegele Online and he had made a complete backup of the website besides the WordPress files. I was able to get Kate Voegele Online back up-and-running for my interview, so all was not completely lost. If any of my affiliates are interested in being affiliated with Kate Voegele Online, please click the banner below to visit my other fan site.

EDIT: After careful consideration and a ton of emails from dedicated Lauren Conrad fans, I have decided to attempt to re-open the site. I have had a few offers to help me get the site back up and running and I think it will help tremendously to get the site back up in running in a timely manner. If any web developers are interested in helping out or if you have any Lauren Conrad photos you would like to donate to the new website, please email them to the address below. If you are sending photos please try to send them in a .zip file if possible and include the exact title of the event or location of the photo, along with the date it was taken. I am not sure how long this process will take, but I hope to get something up for you all in the next few weeks. Also, if any affiliates are still interested in being affiliates, please shoot me an email and I will add you to the new website. Thanks very much to everyone for your support! Be on the lookout for the new site, coming soon!
