To anyone concerned about my bots appearing missing, private, or deleted:

From what I've seen, a lot of these issues can be caused by JanitorAI's habit of making live changes directly to the site. While updates and fixes are understandable, pushing edits to a live platform sometimes leads to unexpected glitches, temporary display issues, broken features, or data appearing to vanish when it actually hasn't.

In my case, my bots are not intentionally private, nor have I deleted them. The platform appears to be experiencing one of those frustrating periods where changes behind the scenes are causing things to behave unpredictably. Features may disappear, settings may display incorrectly, and content can temporarily seem inaccessible even when it still exists.

What's especially frustrating is the uncertainty. When you've spent countless hours creating characters, writing lore, configuring settings, and maintaining bots, seeing them suddenly disappear from view is incredibly stressful. It immediately makes you wonder whether your work is gone, whether you've made a mistake, or whether something has broken on the platform.

Hopefully this is just another temporary glitch caused by ongoing site edits and not an actual loss of content. Until the developers confirm what's happening (which they rarely do..) I'm assuming my bots still exist and that the issue is related to the platform's current instability rather than deletion or privacy changes on my end.

- I can find them going behind and into my lorebooks to see them.

It's frustrating, exhausting, and honestly discouraging when this keeps happening, especially for creators who invest a lot of time into their projects. All we can really do is wait for the site to stabilize and for the developers to address the issue.

If you think a bot is missing, going back to your chats with them can take you to the character page.
