You can still read the mccannpjfiles .....that has a lot off information ...

Come on everyone, this just isn't true, with all the back biting over the last couple of years why would pamalam suddenly close it now. Come on folks of all the times to close it she choses NOW,,,, FEB 2012 is going tobe biggest event to happen in this case for 4.8 years, WHY WOULD SHE GIVE IN NOW!!! this just dosen't sit right with me, however bad it is, whatever back biting goes on..... you believe in what you believe in and nothing changes that end of, as already said you can delete stuff you don't like when its YOUR blogg, this is an excuse to close this excellant site IMO I think we have another Bren here, sorry to my dear MM posters if this offends,,,, but this is just MY opinion.

She was got at once before and didn't cave it...so why now?

I agree why now?

I can't see unless she has received some personal abuse or Carter-Ruck have threatened her again. Why I can't understand as her blog was just information and evidence and not with any opinion.

All that was there is still available elsewhere but it will take time to find it.

As far as I know, Pamalam was working on her own on that site, absorbing all the flack on her own. It may have been different if there had been a team of people, maintaining the site. I guess the cumulative effect of a lot of bother going her way was what led to her decision. For whatever reason Pamalam made her decision, I'm glad the resource was there for so long and Pamalam did a magnificent job with it.

They win again - Madeleine looses again!

Just to remind you...Bren did not take 3A's down.

She had handed it to Beowulf and despite efforts to contact him, he took it offline.

I think it's important to not think c-r has their hand in everything.

Bren has never provided a satisfactory answer, or in fact ANY answer, as to how everyones private messages came to be displayed on murafans blog. The very fact that those messages were displayed frightened off many genuine people who were trying to find justice for a 3yr old toddler. It caused them grief in their workplaces and in their private lives.
That in itself is despicable.
Going by her rapid change of stance on the McCann case, and the people she keeps close on twitter, I remain sceptical as to why 3As went down and doubt her sincerity and integrity.

I cannot speak for any subsequent changes, but at the time, Beowulf took over Admin, the site was not being monitored and a decision was taken to 'hide' it until he could be contacted. Despite every effort to contact Beowulf (including myself) he remained elusive...and after leaving a 'message' online for a while, he eventually took it offline completely.

I do not believe there was any 'interference' of any sort.

As for the 'messages' which I have not seen and have no idea about, there were issues with other Admin at the time. Whether they are still around using a different name I have no idea.

Ye gods, I hope that Pamalam hasn't gone down the same path as Bren! I do wonder about the latter's mental health after reading her ramblings since she changed her mind about the McCanns. And as for Bonnybraes.....

If that smiley means what I think it means. I am highly insulted. It is comments like that, that makes me realize that I have made the correct decision.

I certainly don't think that money had anything to do with your decision Pamalam. I wish you well in whatever you do in future.

Well I can understand your reaction to that - but please remember that the vast majority (whichever flavour of opinion they hold) are sensible, reasonable people but we generally accept that there are always a few folk in any walk of life who have a different approach. They can safely be ignored. Letting them get to us is a failure on the part of decent democratic debate.

There is so much effort involved that sometimes it can become overwhelming and not worth the effort if appreciation level is low.

I am just so very appreciative of what Pamalam has given us until now. No-one will ever know what she has truly given in time , effort and issues created because of her devotion to the site.

Thanks so much Pamalam. xxx

Well said HiDeHo.

In all walks of life it is sometimes easy to let the minority of horrible people bring you down and make you feel it's not worth going on. I know from experience that it can be difficult to get out of this frame of mind but in the end I have managed.

Best wishes again to Pamalam.

Well said HiDeHo We appreciate you Pamalam whether or not you decide to put your site back up in the future and I am sure I speak for the vast majority of us seeking justice for Madeleine.

Please don't believe a few speak for the vast majority of us. They do not.

HiDeHo - may I also say how much I appreciate your wonderful videos too.

Let me add my voice to your excellent post, HiDeHo. You are a star, Pamalam and I wish you the very best for a happy new year.

The McCanns have no chance - people will always remember and the awful thing is the majority of those remembering will always say " remember little Madeleine McCann whose parents went out to the pub and left her to look after her baby brother and sister how long ago was it?"

I still remember Geanette Tate she was about 13 and it was in the late 70's she was out delivering newspapers and when her friend turned a corner she found her bike and the wheels were still turning.

We still remember Ben Needham and that is about 20 years.

Its amazing how stories stick in your mind and all the little details you remember. This story will haunt them to their graves unless of course they ever have to exhume a body in P de L. graveyard and find two bodies in one coffin.

And l too will miss Pamalam's blog, always found something there that was new to me

I favoured the surrogate coffin hypothesis myself for a while - it finally fell from favour, but I cannot remember why.

Amber, I remember Genette Tate. Here's a link to a recent article - it's thought she was a victim of a notorious child killer, Robert Black.

Aw no!! Pamalam my sincere apologies, that should NOT have been a smily it was and should have been a thumbs up, please look back on my posts I do not insult anyone, on 90% of my posts I usually check them I had friends over last night and had to post quickly...
I just feel that there is more to this situation then back biting and arguing because you have put in such a lot of hard work over the years, the hassle must have been much worse at times then now, why would you chose to close your blog at this time, my first thought which I have already posted is that someone had got into your blog and done this, but reading your post I see that it isn't the case, no insult ment Pamalam you have done a fantastic job, and it just seems very strange that you would call it a day now, when such alot is about to start happening, my fear is like bren you have been got at, you by Carter Ruck, bren well, who knows what she was got at with, anyone that knows the facts of this case and has read the files would never stop jump sides and start supporting the McCanns......AND THIS IS NOT YOU, ONLY THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GOT AT.
Anyone that has been looking for justice for Maddy for 4.8years just wouldn't stop now imo, but I'm sure people can only take so much and for you to take such drastic actions means just that. No insult intended.

I just read a post here from velvet, where has it gone??????

She was asking were she could read brens blog????

Funny you should say that. I am sure now that I didn't imagine one of mine disappearing yesterday.

Sorry, I think I may have done that ... Chubby fingers and a small smart phone don't go well!!!! Yes I was wondering about Bren, was her blog regrets and ramblings if I remember correctly?? I'd like to read her reason for her change of opinion!!
