After just over three years of operation, the Vladimir Publishing Network Forum (VPF) ceased operation on June 2, 2010. "The administration decided that having a network forum was irrelevant," explained forum administrator Gunter Klein.
The forum has gone through several stages. Upon its initial creation in January 2007, it was mainly a promotion and critique site for VPC stories. There was also a section for creative writing, which spawned mostly erotica from members. No one was really surprised.
