Ever since December, Dom Hofmann — the creator of Vine — has been teasing a follow up to the now defunked app on Twitter called Vine 2.

Vine, although short-lived, has a special place in everyone's hearts because it helped discover a whole new generation of social media personalities and provided endless Internet humor. So the idea of the social network coming back as a revamped version of itself is more than exciting to its many fans.

But does the return of Vine mean the return of one of its biggest legacies on the network, Logan Paul? Maybe not.

Tweets appeared on an account called @Vine2Team earlier this month announcing the banning of Logan from the app preemptively.

".@LoganPaul has been banned from the Vine 2 Platform. We condemn the inhumane acts of the Video regarding 'Taunting' a Dead Body found in a Japanese Forest," one tweet reads. "There will be no place for toxic activity on our platform."

These tweets come after Logan caused outrage for filming and "mocking" the dead body of a suicide victim while traveling through Aokigahara, a forest in Japan that's known as the “suicide forest” because of the high rate of suicides that occur there. It only got worse when a second video of the trip through Japan showed Logan being generally disrespectful, mocking the Japanese people and their culture with inappropriate jokes.

There are some questions regarding the authenticity of the Vine 2 Twitter account and whether Logan is really banned from the platform. The account is not verified so it's possible it's just a fake account run by a Twitter troll. At the moment, the creator of Vine, Dom Hofmann, is the only reliable source for info regarding the app and he has not said anything publicly about Logan's behavior or if he's going to be allowed on the app once it launches besides sharing what appears to be a sneak peek at the social app's terms and conditions of use.

Is he hinting that Logan's behavior won't be tolerated on the app?

Logan is currently on an indefinite break from YouTube following this controversy.
