Just why would anyone leave a perfectly good platform that has almost shut down twice in the past two years? (See [https://www.recode.net/2016/9/15/12936470/mode-media-glam-shuts-down](https://www.recode.net/2016/9/15/12936470/mode-media-glam-shuts-down) and [Mode Media Shuts Down, Lays Off Staff](http://variety.com/2016/digital/news/mode-media-shuts-down-1201862679/))?

Here are some of the features that make it stand out:

I have tons of information and comments that were on the old site.

Is there a way to retrieve those?

Much thanks,

I am in the same boat!! I understand change, even understand that it’s hated but eventually all the bugs will get fixed (hopefully). Just wish we could get the info from our private messages!!!
