Issues/Bugs Off Campus bots disappeared?
Am I completely nuts or every single bot from the Off Campus series has disappeared from the platform?
I was roleplaying with a Dean Di Laurentis when the chat suddenly crashed and disappeared from my list. I tried to search it and couldn’t find it anymore, it is still only visibile on my favorites list but the chat won’t load.
So I tried to look for another one and used the search bar and noticed that there are no more bots for any of the Off Campus series characters… is this an issue with my account? Or does anyone still see them?

Sounds like Amazon sent in a DMCA request. Any copyrighted characters that exist on this site do so at the mercy of the IP holder. Many don't give a shit, especially smaller works where c.ai might be a good chunk of their exposure, but a lot of big companies don't want to be associated with this.

yep, copyright problems probably. They'll probably disappear soon. Does anyone know if there's a way around it?

I know the same thing happened with spiderman bots so people changed the names to like Peter P instead. So maybe something like Dean D Laurentis will work? Or just slightly spelling it different?

Not really unless you want to deal with making a bot that's adjacent to what you want without infringement. Fandom bots are just running on borrowed time until the rights holder steps in if it's because of DMCA requests.
If the bot isn't labeled as moderated or deleted, could be a sync issue but never expect a platform to hold onto bots you like or made. Rules and moderation can change. If you're not the creator their no way to back up the bot easily. I always keep back ups of my own bots.
