There is a theory that the site was being spammed manually, by people who tried to sabotage threads where users uploaded paysite content, as the site eventually had captcha and security measures that would prevent bots from doing the spamming. The Wayback Machine only provides partial captures for both newer and older boards full size images, for the most part, were not saved. Unfortunately when the site went down, it took all of this content with it. These older boards had years worth of content stashed on them that was, for all intents and purposes, largely forgotten about as time went on and users diminished. The site's older (Old Paws Archive) boards, which were linked through stickies at the top of their newer (PawsX) boards equivalents, were not affected by the later spam because they were locked. A dwindling user base, coupled with growing spam and helpless mods, eventually lead to going offline on October 30th, 2015. The site admin, Bartimaeus, seemingly became disinterested with the website, leaving mods frustrated with little course of action. Mods combated and removed the spam as best as they could, but did not have access to the site's servers. Spam plagued the site consistently in the last couple of years, with it becoming especially frequent in the month leading up to the site's closure. Once an active community, posting slowed starting around 2013.
In February of 2010, changed its domain name to. Created on Septemas, the site was updated to Kusaba 1.1.0 on December 19, 2008.
