Gun sites going down

Post by David »

AR15.com announced that Godaddy had booted them off and they were looking for an alternative. Talk going around of Glock Talk going down as well. More censorship so we'll see what happens.

A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

Fate whispers to the warrior "You cannot weather this storm". The warrior replies, "I am the storm".

I just checked Arfcom and it appears to still be up. I saw a post about it going down too.

They were looking for alternatives, maybe they found it.

AR was offline for about an hour and moved to a backup site.

ar15.com went to Epik. I took FSN there too, just in case.

Hopefully that will prove to be a better server with no further issues.

This is domain registration only at this time. This is the equivalent of NameCheap for you. I am thinking of hosting FSN there as well though.

I think GT is going down because they banned all their posters.

Unfortunately, they haven't banned the ones that really need to be banned.

I think that is correct. There is a cabal of posters who troll and get others banned. 'The bad push out the good.'
