Good riddance.

    But seems they are not going back online. Like many sites were hacked they fixed it and is back why this one doesn’t?

      a 16 year old made the site over a decade ago and they’ve just layered spaghetti onto that shitty ass code, and in doing so allowed everyone that’s ever worked on it to be doxxed. So to put it back up, they’d have to fix all that spaghet. Not exactly a weekend job

      They have two challenges working against them: the user database was compromised and doxxed everyone - makes it less likely the staff and audience returns. Then the source code was leaked as well, exposing a massive amount of vulnerabilities that were never patched over the years. With the vulnerabilities public now, it’s unlikely the admins can relaunch before fixing it. Most assume they don’t have the resources to reach a secure state.

        Hell yeah. I’ll miss some of the porn, at least the last of it that wasn’t weird racebait, but it needed to die ten or fifteen years ago.

          Porn gore and all the shit it had. It was a cesspit really it baffles me how they evaded most of the accountability anyone would be subjected to.

      Complete rumour and hearsay from Discord, but allegedly a current/former mod is claiming they’ll relaunch sometime on the 21st but only about 1/4 of the boards will be up due to a lack of jannies.

      The vulnerabilities found in the codebase were… sizeable to say the least. I assume the extended downtime is to patch the ones they can, and disable features for the ones they can’t + needing to replace a big chunk of the mods and jannies.
