Entertainingly, the backup doesn't work for me, but https://ar15.com still does.

ETA: the tab at the top says "AR15-backup" so maybe there's some sort of blind redirect going on.

Does not work for me. They may be in the middle of something migration-wise that's turning them on and off.

The twitter account that LennyJoe quoted says:

Some folks are still connecting to our servers from our normal http://ar15.com domain, but that's going to end eventually. DNS will eventually stop looking up the correct location of the server.

Bookmark our backup URL - https://ar15-backup.com Left pointing backhand index

So I guess that's what I'm getting.

Clicking the latter works for me, but it takes me to a weirdo page with accept/cancel options.

What about us here, TFL or THR?

Any danger of us getting dumped?

Supposedly APS is hosted somewhere 2A dedicated.

Doesn't matter if ICANN or the upstream ISP (AT&T, ComCast, Level 3, Cogent, etc) decide to shut off routing to your IP, or delist your DNS.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Pretty biased reporting by The Hill on this one.

like this?

Google doesn't have to own a particular server service to mess with them, all they have to do is threaten to remove from search results from google any links pointing to that server including retailers if they don't do as goggle wants them to. There some lawsuits over this a few years ago where IIRC google basically said "And? What are you going to about it?" and the lawsuits as far as I know disappeared.

Our problem, IMO, is that we are hosted on the same servers as Calguns. While we're a little fish nobody knows about, Calguns is as big as arfcom, and we could always be sucked down in the undertow if the Calguns ship gets sunk.

As I just posted on The Firing Line, I cannot open TFL in the edge browser on my company laptop because it is blocked (chrome and presumably firefox work just fine) That's even at home on my own network and the VPN is not running. That started before last week; I don't know when.  So somebody knows about TFL and has them on a shitlist even tho' no political talk is allowed there and discussion of anything even remotely illegal (even if it shouldn't be) gets shut down immediately.

The filing also claims that BuzzFeed posted its story on Parler being kicked of Amazon’s servers over an hour-and-a-half before Parler itself received an email from Amazon, “meaning AWS leaked the letter to BuzzFeed before sending it to Parler.”

    For months we have been backing up every reply to Donald Trump’s tweets. We call this project the Liberal Hate Machine.

    It conducts sentiment analysis to detect threats of violence, slurs, and more.

    There’s A LOT.

    It’s searchable too.

    Stay tuned. 😎

It remains unclear specifically what content allegedly violated the registrar’s terms of service. However, I am happy to report that we have found a new, First Amendment-friendly site registrar and we have begun the process of transitioning AR15.com to the new registrar.

We expect the switchover to take up to 5 days. During that time, our famous “AR15.com” URL will not be usable. Once the switchover is complete, AR15.com will be fully restored to normal function.

Parler is back . . . sort of:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/parlers-website-back-online-with-a-message-from-its-ceo_3660235.html

Nothing on parler.com except a blurb about "technical difficulties" and a very brief message from John Matze.  Looks like a placeholder.

Gateway Pundit now permabanned on Twitter.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/twitter-permanently-suspends-the-gateway-pundit-account_3687947.html

In other news, Trump is looking at starting a social media platform. He might just be doing Trump talk, but it would be fun to see. Hopefully he would use offshore servers.
