Mizzoh posted on her site that she's closing AOLRocks down due to time constraints, the gallery and site will be accessible until February 10.
Not only did she really awesome work at that site, she was always so up to date with everything happening around Alex. She always has the newest scoop, the pictures in high quality, and a great collection of candids, photo shoots and videos.
Everything you could ever want she has.
Her recaps of Alex activity are so helpful when you're trying to remember where you've seen that photo or this information.
I really wished someone could convince her to leave at least the site open as it is, even when she's not updating anymore. But alas, all good things must come to an end.

So, if you want to save some of the classic tv ads or interviews or photos or... stuff, hurry up.

That's a HEARTBREAKER - I could always count on Mizzoh to have just the cap or pic I was looking for.

Guess I know what I'm going to be doing until Feb 10... :Mickangel:

Thanks for the heads-up, francis. :smooch:

Oh, DAMN. What a loss this is.

I alwaus thought AOLR was among the very best of the fansites.

I know these things come and go, but at least we're getting some advance warning. Time to save what we can...

Bless her heart. She has put so much of herself into that site. She always has the most up to date info and pix. I don't go there often but when I do? I am always amazed at the amount of work and love she puts into that place.

Sad day, but she sure has given us loads of happiness :hearts:

Noooo!!!! But I get that she's so thorough, it's got to be a LOT of work.

Not only do I think she has one of the best fan sites, I think she's got one of the best sites period. It's so well organized and things are easy to find. It wouldn't surprise me if her professional opportunity had something to do with developing/managing web sites.

Good luck to her but... I'm sad. :Mickangel:

This is such sad news. Mizz was such a pillar of the Alex fan community. I could always count on her site to have anything I was looking for. She will be sorely missed :Mickangel:

Oh wow! I just realized how many url references to Mizzoh's pictures I've posted here. Oh dear - I'm going to have to work on that before the pictures evaporate.

This is my first fandom experience and I've been so amazed by all the riches I've found on so many sites. :hearts: But I didn't realize things would just go 'poof'. I will miss AOLR.

Well, now I'm a bit confused.

I was looking at the AOLR galleries tonight and I noticed there are some NEW things out there. Specifically a picture with a fan at a skateboard shop and an article on H50 from Australia - dated 1/30/12. She has tweeted a few times in the last week with things she's found.

But in no way has she said that she's changing her mind. Perhaps she couldn't go cold turkey from her Alex addiction. :snicker:

So, better be safe and grab copies of everything by Feb 10. (I guess I'm making this into a bump in case anyone missed it earlier.)

It seems that the response overwhelmed Mizzoh and she's trying to find a way to keep the site open and find other mods to run it.
