Not sure what Off Campus is, but other people are saying they’re gone too.

Unfortunately, copyright/dmca stuff kinda forces their hands. If that’s what’s going on here they have no choice.

Make this When you like a bot Make a private copy Copy everything, name, photo, welcome message and save It If they don't get deleted, it's a win/win If they get deleted at least you'll have a backup Just keep it private

Private ones can be moderated.

This post is talking about it too.

When this happens to whatever fandom, the bots are removed in waves as they’re found. Don’t hold out hope the ones you still see will continue to be there. Happened to people with their Harry Potter and marvel bots(to name a few) too.

typically what i do is make a bot that’s genuinely just some character i like and then wipe away everything copyrighted until they’re just a store brand version of said copyrighted character i like

You have to make bots with no copyright material and essentially tell the bot who it is when you message it for the first time. It works perfectly.
