I am very sorry to hear about the abuse. I hope they are able to prosecute the abusers. When my sister had her kids (3 & 1) I was able to see pictures of them which was very nice as we lived in different continents. We now also have a 3 week old of our own and have posted a few pics on finn.ploggle.com so that we can share our little man with family & friends. We don’t have many pictures on there, but would really like to keep submitting if you are allowing existing members to keep posting.
Thanks for all you have done for so many people over the last 5 years.

Angel, Reint & Finn

Everybody – thanks for your comments. We’re planning to start putting individual plogs back online over the weekend. We’ll do so on request. The site is now closed to new members.

S – we stopped be able to justify spending the time monitoring Ploggle content some time ago. We both have lives to lead and time, more than ever, is money. We don’t know how the Watch Foundation came across the material, but we’re glad they did.

How were the Watch Foundation able to monitor your service in a way that you were not? Sorry if that sounds facetious, it’s really not meant to be. I’m genuinely interested.

Terrible shame. Wednesday I used half the free time I had cause my oldest child was at his grandparents to finally make a ploggle site for my newborn baby. Her grandparents were so happy to see all the pictures of their offspring… Every week my sister put new photos on her site so her friends our famly and I could see how her family was doing and her young children developed. It is really sad, shocking and stunning this has happened.

A great shame. Due to living at opposite ends of Britain my brother, myself and the rest of our family used ploggle to keep each other up to date with our recent family additions. Ploggle was a really easy way to do this that has kept the grandparents happy too.

Ploggle has brought many smiles, a real shame if it is to be no more – thanks for the effort to date
