Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "I've been so alone without Rela. I can't stalk pretty girls in my area," another user said jokingly. "I dreamt that I could use the app last night, and I even wrote a status update saying: 'It's been so long, I missed you guys'."
"In this two years I've used Rela, there's so many friends and stories that I've seen or made," she added. "I'm waiting for Rela to come back."
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "I didn't come on for the past few days, and I didn't think about it," said LeiMinBrother. "Today I went online and still found that it wasn't on."
"I thought just uninstalling the app and reinstalling it would work, but I couldn't find the app anymore!"
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "Rela -- you must come back, I'm still depending on you to get out of singlehood!"
Original image has been replaced. Credit: Mashable "We believe that Rela will come back -- as long as Rela doesn't give up, we will wait for her return.
"If we keep criticising or pointing fingers at people, we could make it more difficult for Rela to come back. We love Rela, let's just wait patiently."
Rela's shutdown comes after the app's support of an LGBTQ event staged at Shanghai's Marriage Market, on May 20th, a day the country sets up singles.
The event, organised by Rela and PFLAG, a Guangzhou-based LGBTQ support group, saw 11 mothers travelling to the marriage market in People's Park to raise awareness of LGBTQ issues in China, reported Sixth Tone.
Police later ordered the parents to leave the park, as their "advertising" event was unregistered, according to Sixth Tone.
While it's not illegal to be gay in the country, China's wide-ranging anti-pornography laws have been used to shut LGBTQ-friendly dating apps.
In April this year, Zank -- a gay dating app which boasted around half a million users in 2014 -- was shut down following allegations that it breached the country's anti-pornography regulations.
