A notorious website closes and OTM producer PJ Vogt reflects on our infamous interview with its founder, Hunter Moore.

Last December, Bob interviewed Hunter Moore, the creator of a website called Isanyoneup.com. People have used the internet to create a lot of awful things, but Moore's site stood out. Here's how it worked: users anonymously submitted naked pictures of a victim they wanted to get revenge on, and then Moore would link those pictures to the vicitm's Facebook profiles. That meant that if you somehow ended up on Is Anyone Up, anyone who Googled you would likely see naked pictures of you as one of the first results. Naked pictures that were followed by withering comments about your body.

Moore was, to put it mildly, not very apologetic about his creation. Bob asked him if he ever thought about taking it down, and Moore replied, "It’s just too much fun...I get paid money to sit in front of my computer and look at all my peers naked. So, it's pretty awesome." Clearly, Moore was not a deeply introspective kind of guy.

Which made it all the more surprising when Moore announced yesterday that he was, in fact, closing his site. An anti-bullying group called Bullyville.com (which actually sounds like a social networking site for bullies, but that's a separate point) convinced Moore to sell his site to them. They've closed it. Their founder told Nightline, ""No doubt, [Moore] was the No.1 internet bully out there and we took him down... not a hostile takeover but in a politically correct way."

So, that's good, I suppose. As a solution, paying people who do awful things to stop doing them seems a bit dubious, or, at least, difficult to scale. But it's still nice to hear that the internet, and the world, has one less bad thing in it. Right?
