What just happened to Uman?
10-24-2012, 04:43 PM
So I've been reading University of Man on and off, and I especially liked the Study a Broad Program, and then today I go to the website and find a goodbye note. The entire website has been taken down, Professor Mentu is completely gone from twitter, and nothing has been archived that I can see.
My question is, anyone know what happened? I'm aware that he is the owner of the blog, and it is not his responsibility to keep old articles up for us to read, and I am also aware that bandwidth costs money. But there were some incredibly useful articles and links on that website, so does anyone know if they are going to put the website back up or archive anything?

Here is their goodbye note:
Thanks for Reading
When we first started writing The University of Man nearly a year ago, Ashur and I decided we would write until we reached one million views. A little over 250 posts and 4,000 comments later, we changed our minds and decided 897,681 hits would suffice.
We appreciate every page view and comment, and the friends we met online and in person along the way will not be forgotten. But Ashur and I have made our statements, so now it’s time for us to move on and maintain a dignified silence.
We hope we made you happy for a while.
Adios.
Strange. Maybe one of them got outed or they were getting increasingly paranoid about being outed?

He probably said all he needed to say and then felt like moving on.
Lots of writers are like that.

There is a story behind this more than "we've said all we wanted to say" but if they don't want to tell us, that's their right.

Why would they pull it down though? Just stop updating for christ's sake.

Manosphere bloggers come and go. I'll be shifting to "Red Pill Dating" at some point.

He'll be back. Its hard to just pack it in when you become a D-list celebrity. He probably wants to see how much attention he'll get. Lets see if he is Barry Sanders/Jim Brown or Brett Farve/Evander Holyfield.

At some point it must be extremely time consuming and taking to have to pump out high quality content three times a week. I would rather quit than publish sub par content.

Writing 2-3 posts a week is incredibly time consuming (to do well), I don't blame them.

Hmm, seems pretty out of the blue.
I'm guessing either:
1. He decided he'd stop posting at a pre-determined date.
2. He was worried about his identity getting out.
3. He's trolling and coming back shortly.
#2 seems more plausible given that there's no reason he should shut down the site, rather than just stop posting, if #1 was the reason.

Why are people so afraid of being outted? I followed his blog, they said nothing illegal. Im just asking because I'm thinking about starting a blog, and I dont see why I should keep pictures and what not off the page.
Is it because people think it will hurt pick up attempts if people find out? Roosh is super famous and from his stories it seems like he gets called out in public, but it never cock blocks him. Maybe I'm not thinking into this enough. Enlighten me.
Private Man, I remember on your blog you gave some personal details. Has it come to bite you in the ass?

I don't get it. Why delete stuff? If you really want to help people, you want to leave it there, sitting atop the Google results for the generations to come. I understand they'd want to be safe if they had concerns about their privacy, but from their wording it doesn't seem anything like it.
Anyways, quite a disappointment, but thank them for all the good work so far.

I have a copy of the "study a broad" page if you want the links or the text.
