Title: Is there a REAL back-up plan?
Post by: Garrincha on October 02, 2013, 05:05 pm
Surely there must be someone other than DPR who can get the show back on the road? Why aren't the backup url's working? Are there no Mods here who can help us out? Or is it really all over?

Game over, moneys gone, site is gone. BTC was seized by the feds, you can assume all communications on the site are now wide open for the feds to peruse. Sure hope everyone used PGP.

The backup URLs were to avoid the hacker. Not to deal with a federal seizure.

If the server was seized the forums would not be up.. Don't just spout your thoughts.

The forums are hosted on a different server than the main site (or so I was told over a year and a half ago). That is why you could reach the forums when the hackers took down the main site with a DDOS, amongst other things.

If they were on the same server, it would not have worked that way.
