Deciding to close HearthPwn, along with a handful of other community websites, wasn’t an easy decision for our company, but we could no longer justify the substantial engineering resources it took to run the properties. It was a sad day in our office when we announced the sunsetting of many beloved sites.
Previously, we weren’t able to entertain selling the sites because they were built on a proprietary platform. It would be a monumental task for an external engineering team to maintain or migrate the communities. Knowing this, we announced the site closures, but just as the sun slowly began to set for these properties, a figure appeared . . .
As of this week, we’ve identified a company with the necessary experience to buy and run these sites (including HearthPwn), so that the passionate communities will continue to have homes on these long-standing sites. With this, we have started to transfer the sites to Magic Find. As for the staff on these sites, it will be up to them and Magic Find to decide how they’d like to move forward.
This isn’t the end for HearthPwn. It’s a new and exciting beginning. We wish Magic Find the best as we say goodbye to several of the properties that helped our company grow into what it is today.
This will be the last update from Curse/Fandom. All future communications will be from the new site owner.
Whaaaat?! when did all this happen?!
lol didn't log for months so I didn't notice anything XD
w8 a minute?! why my name color is not purple anymore?!
You seem desperate to spread this 5+ year old post that was never proven and full of personal vendetta bias (the lady protesteth too much, methinks).
Where's the actual evidence of any of this as opposed to an angry reddit post made up by some rando who was probably banned from a channel and looking for petty revenge in the form of defamation of character and libel without proof?
First off, learn to reply properly. Second off, https://imgur.com/a/RADsu
Fuck him. It was pretty damn evident that he was doing shady stuff when he decided to DELETE HIS OWN FUCKING POSTS. Keep sucking his dick kid, won't do you any good.
user-100400702 calm down. Let's break it down bit by bit, shall we?
We know that Reddit has a policy to permanently ban people, who use bots to massive personal gain. Flux still has his Reddit account, which proves that the Reddit post is falsely claiming its most central point. Flux did indeed delete his previous posts, which i can agree can be interpreted as being shady, while it could also be a move out of desperation to not get more flame than he already got.
From your Imgur post, all I can see is a person who prioritized other parts of his life, over a site that was hardly alive. It seems like he was threatened by a lawsuit, which had no legitimate claims, which would frighten just about anyone.
I'm not saying that Flux hasn't done any mistakes, nor that he that he've handled every single situation perfectly, but rather that not all details regarding these situations are clear, and that, given Reddit policies, some are just straight up false.
You're perfectly allowed to dislike Flux, but it's not okay to spread these things around as if they were the absolute truth.
Yeah...... that post is over 5 years old and Flux has never received any sort of punishment / ban, retroactive or otherwise - which would strongly imply that Reddit investigated and found no value to the spurious claims. Funny that...
Please don't spread this sort of misinformation about people without actual proof. It doesn't help anyone and just makes you look petty and ignorant.
hearthpwn closed when flex left it, i will still be closed to us , and u will be king of the graveyard klad soon :)
or whatever ur name is -_-
as a very old school hearthpwn member ive seen the work and dedication that flux put into the community over the years. flux IS hearthpwn, if youve been here for any length of time you know this to be true.
and due to that i hope all the people that notice this will continue to support him and his website.

Fuck fluxflashor. Let that asshole rot.
I'm going to OutOf.Cards. Though I might hang around here a little bit. Flux was the backbone of the community here. Its gonna be hard to fill those shoes. And removing him as a moderator was E.V.I.L. You don't trade Kobe.
Flux has history with a lot of shady activity. I don't really respect that guy when I recently heard what he has done in the past.

He's a shady asshole. He deserved everything he got.
I just want to say thank you.
I am no engineer. I am sure someone could sit and explain "problems" they have with any website. But, in the end, I enjoy the experience you guys have provided.
I am not a pro..I typically land in ranks 2-5..I spend good money on the game..but I am in no way, shape, or form, someone who feels he deserves a place at the table in any kind of hearthstone discussion or website discussion.
What I *can* say is that there have been countless times over the last handful of years where I have enjoyed my stay here. This community makes me smile, laugh, shake my head, or yell at my screen..it helps with discussing tactics, critiquing decks, cards..it provides news and sometimes (although I, personally, don't really read them) interesting articles.
Thank you guys for doing your best to provide a place for us fans who would NEVER build a website/community..even though we would happily play in one built by someone else.
You men and women are very appreciated from this desk :)
People are so dramatic. Personally I think this site will last and do just fine. Because most people don't care so it won't affect it.
You guys did Flux dirty. This is my last post on this site.https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/23cf60/blizzard_game_subreddits_are_run_by_curse_network/
flux is a dick. He deserved this.
Thanks for linking that, I had no idea. Shady af
You should probably read that with a gran of salt. Reddit has a policy, that they shadowban anyone that they've found to be using bots massively for their own gain, which is what the post claims Flux did.
As Flux isn't permanently banned on reddit, nor ever were shadowbanned on reddit, you'd see that there is more to the story, than this particular reddit post tells.
See you on outof.cards everybody!

don't go there, flux deserves no support.
Lol, sure. New and exciting.
See ya on out of cards..
