It is a hobby of Mebious users to attempt to track down the website's creator, who is known to be called "Tadzio Troman-Taylor". He is notoriously difficult to find information about in comparison to Internet users.

In late September of 2013 www.mebious.mobi starting redirecting to www.mebious.co.uk. The reason is unclear and as of October 10th mobi is down.
Since October of 2012 to October of 2013, Russian spam overwhelms the site. Many people find the site prior to watching SEL resulting in less than relevant posting. In addition, the site was linked to several forums and imageboards across the internet during the year, compounding the issue.
In late November 2016, the site went down for several days due to extreme spamming exceeding the site's allocated resources. This spamming also occurred on [[mebio.us]], posted by a mentally unstable former community member that posed as a woman in Finland.
On November 12th, 2021, the Serial Experiments Lain (PlayStation game) Discord released a recreation of mebious written in Common Lisp titled “nmebious.” An instance of the website has been created at [https://lovelain.net/ lovelain.net]. The GitHub is also open for others to deploy their own instances.
