Woah man. You are missing the most crucial piece of the timeline.
Where they used their shitty Myspace ripoff to massively boost their initial marketshare by attracting underaged weebs and getting them exposed to all sorts of internet creeps who absolutely groomed and preyed on them.
They clamped down on it hard once they tried to go legit, because everyone knew it was a wretched hive of CP and grooming into every degenerate bullshit you could imagine.
Missing some more important context.
They were the pirate site that "translators" who were kicked out of every other fansub group for being absolutely fucking trash at their "job" ended up going/working for.
This wasn't the last few years. It was in the mid-late 2000s. They've mostly shelved that section of the site quietly because it was such an unredeemable bomb waiting to blow.

I wasn't aware they had a Myspace ripoff or the CP aspect. Not surprising after what's been going on in the world these past few years.
