Taylor Cole
Your N°1 online resource for everything Taylor Cole!

I’ve thought about this for a few hours and I’m not sure what I will do (yet). I might shut down Taylor Cole Online and I thought if I made a post now about it, it will be a heads up to the visitors of the site. I know the site recently opened a few weeks ago, not even a month yet…… It’s upsetting, but I don’t have much of a choice..

When the site first opened, I was accused of stealing photos. Honestly, photos are all over the web and if you don’t tag it then how am I suppose to know if it’s your “exclusive” photo or not? There are tons of photos all over the web, and it’s practically impossible to tell if it’s yours or not without a tag.

I apologize if I ever took your “exclusive” photos, that was not any of my intention. My intention was to gather photos of Taylor from various places, agencies, forums, etc to create a full gallery for fans. If I ever did take your photo and you were offended, you should have came to me politely and asked me to remove it first. NOT accuse me of stealing and complaining about it… And by this I mean not only complaining about it online but going to Taylor and bringing this up. That’s very unfair. Lastly being rude and calling me names.

But in the end, I think it would be best to just shut this down instead. I didn’t open and spend all my own free time and hard work on a site that would be viewed as “someone stealing photos”. If that’s your first impression of me now because of what you heard, then I’m very disappointed. It was ‘nice’ starting this site from my love and admiration of Taylor and now it’s probably best to just close it. I’m sorry for the fans who have just found this site and loved the updates and photos so far, but it’s for the best. I rather not spend my hard work, free time and own money on something that wouldn’t be appreciated or worth it.

I‘ll think it through for a few more days before I do shut this down. In the meantime, you can head over to the gallery and save whatever HQ photos that I manage to have and those that were donated before they all disappear for good.

** Edited: I decided, the site will close. If Taylor herself has been purposely ignoring me because this is her perspective of me, then I am very disappointed. As a fan, it is a huge disappointment and it would be best decision to shut it down. It’s sad enough that there is practically none to zero information about her in one place, but now she will be losing a dedicated fan. I will close this site within 2 weeks (most likely the 18th or so) after my upcoming exams. I have nothing left to say to this matter, and will leave in disappointment. Sorry and this is for the best, good bye.

    This is disappointing. Please don’t shut down the Taylor Cole Online, please? 🙁 I am also a fan of Taylor Cole, and I am starting to like the Taylor Cole Online sooooo much. Don’t mind those other people who accused you of stealing their photo because I believe you did not. You are are giving happiness to the fans, and I think each and everyone who supported Taylor Cole must be happy too, instead of pin pointing fingers and being jealous.

    Again I love the Taylor Cole Online Site and I do really hope you will not close the website but instead make it more good and above all others.

      Hi! I thank you for your support already for Taylor Cole Online! Hearing that makes me really happy and I’m glad I could do something for the fans already. In the beginning I shrugged it off my shoulder and just let it go.. but then I find out that the person who was accusing me of stealing photos complained to T herself… and T does believe that girl and takes what she says into consideration. So if that’s the case, I really can’t bring myself up to continue this site any longer.. I’m really disappointed, I’m sorry.

    Oh Sandi that’s really bad. I don’t want the Taylor Cole Online (TCO) to be closed, really I don’t…
    Why did T just believe without conducting any investigations?? She shouldn’t incline to one side without knowing the real truth. I wish she will realize before it’s too late how much happiness does the Taylor Cole Online (TCO) are giving to her fans. Isn’t it supposed to be the most important thing? The fans happiness?

    Sandi, I would like to appeal to T but I do not know how or where I should send it. Nevertheless I would like to do it here…

    DEAR Ms. TAYLOR QUINN COLE,

    I am one of your fans. I admire your beauty and you’re being great actress. I love reading articles about you and seeing good quality pictures of yours, it gives me some happiness I cannot describe, and lessen my stress somehow. One of the best sites I know is the new Taylor Cole Online (TCO). Which I already like so much since the first day I found it. And I have no doubt that other fans will love the Taylor Cole Online too just like I did.

    In view thereof, I am appealing to you to please do not let the Taylor Cole Online Site to close. They are not doing anything bad against you but instead honoring and admiring you by exerting too much effort just to give happiness to your fans. In my own understanding those who are supporting you should not fight each other or feel jealous because I believe every ones purpose are the same – and that is to give happiness to your fans, isn’t it?

    Ms.T please have time to look how beautiful the Taylor Cole Online Website is. You can see that they did a lot of effort on it, they did very very very good, a lot of different than the others, all are organized and have the best quality pictures… The fans are enjoying and love the Taylor Cole Online (TCO) and if ever their website will be closed, then my heart will be broken as well as the other fans who love the Taylor Cole Online (TCO).

    Sincerely yours,

    BETH GEOCADA

      I appreciate your support and your word Beth! I’m not sure how to appeal to T either, but my best bet would be twitter. But either way, thank you for your words and your appeal, I do appreciate it whole heartedly!

    Oh, no, please, don’t close! This is the best and only source about Taylor! You did an amazing work, you are a real fan of her and there are no other source well organised. This is the best!
    I don’t think you stole something – from where, then?
    Pleaaaase, don’t close!
    I’m not just a Taylor’s fan, I’m also your fan <3

    -Susy.

    1. Sandi Panda Post author February 3, 2013 | 12:51 pm |

      Thanks Susy, that already means a lot to me! The photos came from a girl who apparently got them from T herself, is what I heard.

    Please, do not close the site, I’m aware of the efforts you made to open it and it will all go to waiste if you listen to those people who claim their picture stolen. I personally think that if you really took those pictures from them, and they had an exlusive, they should have told you about it, and ask you to credit them, instead of threatening and go complaining to Taylor, because once a picture is on the internet, then can be taken by anyone. Seriously, I’m following Taylor since 2009 and every source I found wasn’t updated, or stopped updating for a misterious reason, and I find really hard to find informations and pictures about Taylor.
    Please, please, don’t close the site, you’re doing a great job for every Taylor’s fan, and I don’t see why Taylor shouldn’t be happy about it.

    1. Sandi Panda Post author February 3, 2013 | 12:52 pm |

      I rather waste all my efforts that I put in so far, better than keep going and continue wasting my efforts. I wish I even knew which photos were the ones “stolen”, cause I’m still lost about that. Either way, thank you Alice 🙂

    I’m friends with the owner of another fan site of Taylor, I liked this site for Taylor, too, because I think she deserves more thing disclose her work, but some of the photos from your gallery are rather the ancient gallery of my friend, now today it is the only source to find photos of Taylor even if it is outdated, forum and other sites that advertised no longer exist, so the few unique photos of Taylor that left the internet can be found there and the way it edited. But even if you’re a fan of Taylor, did not think necessary to end your site, simply give due credit of the owners of the photo where he met and does not remove them with their tags on top. My friend works for a long time to gather all about Taylor and do something for her and Taylor know how she worked hard for it, Taylor knows how she is a fan and recognizes all her work over all these years, therefore I think she remained description about it, think about it also. Keep up your work really is fan of Taylor and want to do something for her, with his way. Taylor is a person with a good heart and she also recognizing anger, she just knows more than someone else at the time. Do not end up with your site!

    1. Sandi Panda Post author February 3, 2013 | 12:55 pm |

      I understand, but the way it came about wasn’t necessary. I would have appreciated if they came to me and asked politely, instead of making accusations and spreading it like there was no tomorrow. I would have gladly credited anyone for any photos, as I’ve stated so many times on the site lol. I credit everyone back for their donations and I believe that’s how it should be. I understand how hard and how much work it is to create a site and to gather resources, so I do believe your friend did put in work as well, without a doubt. And I know she’s close with Taylor and everything, but if she’s only listening to one fan because she was a fan for a longer time than another fan who is considered somewhat new, then I really have nothing else to say about it.

    Even if she didn’t close it down now, I think she would have closed it down sooner or later. Just visited her website and realised that all the sites she has set up don’t even last a year lol. What a joke. So even if you get info now there is no guarantee that you’ll get it in the future, so what makes it different from other sites which are long abandoned? What Taylor needs is someone who is really dedicated, not some person who abandons the site once she is not into her anymore. I hope somebody else will be up to it in the new future.

    1. Sandi Panda Post author February 3, 2013 | 12:50 pm |

      I just love how you’re going on about this when you don’t even know me. Do you know me? Didn’t think so. So stop assuming what you know about me and updating my sites. If you’re so good at this, why don’t you go make your own site for Taylor and update it yourself and find your own resources? You talk a big game.

  7. GA February 3, 2013 | 12:56 pm |

    The whole thing is just unfair. I have never seen the other girl’s website, but even my friend said that the girl doesn’t even work on it. I’m sorry, I know you’re Taylor’s fan, but she does not deserve your hard work. I feel sorry for Taylor now that you have lost your interest on your site. And that’s probably going to happen to every single site dedicated to her. The other girl doesn’t have a clue as to how she should run a decent site, but she won’t let anybody else do it for her, and Taylor is naive if she thinks the girl’s acting like that just because of the photos she thinks you might have “stolen” from her. It’s pure jealousy and it’s just sad.

    This is really disappointing… Who doesn’t want your “exclusive photos” on the web should put tags. I think the best thing you do is shut down this site and open a site for an artist who truly deserves all your free time and hard work. I’m saying this because I know how these things work, you have to have recognition, and Taylor only recognizes one fan, a big stalker fan… maybe I’m speaking too much? Anyway, I wish you luck if you shut it down and open another site. Believe me, that’s why Taylor doesn’t have any information or websites out there, she doesn’t deserve…

    Maybe she was talking about those BTS pictures from Hawaii Five-0, Taylor sent only to that girl saying:

    Taylor Cole ?@TaylorCole 14 May
    As a thank you, sending #H50 pic 4 your eyes only until after the show @taycolefangroup then can send it out as you wish; ) if u wish. xoxo

    Taylor is really naive thinking this one girl is acting in good faith. She’s making so many people feel like you do, Sandi. I loved Taylor with all my heart for years but is totally unfair what she’s doing. We get that Taylor doesn’t like to have her personal life being exposed and your site is totally fine, you’re only using public images that everybody can find searching hard. You are not doing anything illegal but honoring an actress you love and you’re doing it so well. It’s really really sad that Taylor doesn’t understand that she is protecting the wrong person. I feel sorry for her, I’m just disappointed as you do.
    If you really shut down your fansite, use all your free time to some artist that really know WHAT fans are for. FANS, not one fan that makes the artist so blind that she didn’t notice how bad she’s treating us with these actions.
    You have my respect, keep doing your great job as a webmiss. I really hope this nightmare comes to an end.
    Lots of love.

    Hey, I just found out about this… I wish you wouldn’t close the site, but I think you have made your decision, it’s a great site and since I’ve been a Taylor’s fan (8 years, I think) I never saw a site like this… it looks great and well updated it’s a shame Taylor didn’t see this… And I think I know who you are talking about, I used to talk with this girl some time ago… and you know whats funny I gave her pictures and helped her to find unseen photoshoots, and she never gave me credit. Anyway, it’s a shame Taylor doesn’t appreciate everyone else’s work, I’m still a fan but right now I’m very dissapointed. (Sorry my english is not the best)
