guess it's a good thing we saved datacrystal when we could, huh.
something about the comparisons made in that post do not jive with what i am aware of from the recent site history...
e: adding this tweet here
i agree with this for what it is. i was debating including something about the reference of near ("tasteless" is a very apt word)
but at minimum i would not take what nightcrawler is saying at face value
I am VERY CURIOUS about the deets because, uh, that whole thing about "the people was I going to transfer the site to threatened me and my family and we're scared so I'm outta here" is very, very strange
very much one of those "i am not authorized to speak about this on the record" matters
according to gideoh zhi the admin was private to the point of not divulging his email address in case the site was down so anything could count as a "doxx attempt"
this is strange. i wonder what will come out of this.
i'm downloading the archives (as many other people are, hello 6 hours estimated time and rising)
people had been showing serious doubts in nightcrawler's ability and willingness to continue hosting rhdn, and (like datacrystal). there were talks of handing it off to someone else to maintain but they went nowhere and this was the result
frustrated
Yeah, everything about this is weird as hell. I am doing what I can on the Archive side internally, but I'm also downloading a copy for my personal archives.
i was casually approached about the possibly of hosting rhdn at one point, but it was just an informal possibility that ended up going nowhere
suddenly, here we are
