Regarding the T-Shirt Contest, all the shirt designs (every single one) were printed out and given to the Haughton Family. They were all viewed and read. They were highly appreciated and so many of the designs were thought to be very well done and very beautiful. It's quite possible they'll be published to the website for others around the world to view as well.

Regarding the forums, from the Haughton Family:

"Regretfully, we have to close the message board. We apologize for any inconvenience and we thank all for their support, their love and their compassion. We love all of you and all Aaliyah fans worldwide.
We thank you, just as Aaliyah said herself, 'from the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul'...
With Aaliyah and Her Comrades In Our Hearts."

(Aaliyah Newsletter June 2008 http://www.aaliyah.com/june08.html)
For almost four years the message board has been maintained and sponsored by the Haughton family. All data and all posts have been saved - everything, as it meant so much for all to come together from all over the world and to unite in the memory and beauty of Aaliyah. Perhaps the board will be brought back one day, although for now the hope is to follow a new path forward... a transition to a 100% focus on the Aaliyah Memorial Fund and hoping to do good worldwide with positive initiatives and endeavors. There will be changes such as these and actually more updates to the website itself as it pertains to Aaliyah and all she represents. Pureness, beauty and a very altruistic focus is the vision...
