Good to hear, I went there to check but getting 504 right now. Hopefully just a temporary failure.

Here is a copy of the message:

Since my announcement of retiring, other lolisho communities have been under attack.
There has been massive DDoS against ATF since last friday.
Where's the courtesy of letting me sunset the site in peace?

Fuck you then, I'm in for the long haul. Ride till I die!

I'm going to take a break... I've been fixing game links for the past few days, and I haven't slept in the last 30 hours—I'm really tired.
Be good, see you in a few hours

Maybe we could prioritize restoring the images in the rules and guides threads which are highlighted, if possible.

I think you need AC3, the one that takes place in Firenze?

I know he's from Zero, let me have this before I use V2

It seems like it was worse than I imagined, the stab in the back came from the staff itself. I feel sorry for Vistarrr :/

Spoiler

Back in May, 2025 I was suffering from health problems and burnout, due to which my absence from ATF was long enough for the staff to get really worried. Contingency plans were made, @JohnMolotov (who had been removed from the staff earlier) was brought back due to his technical knowledge to make a backup of the forum's database, just in case. This was possible by gaining shell access by leveraging Xenforo's plugin system.

Not too long after I finally resurfaced. I questioned John about the backup and these still existing backdoors they built to run arbitary code on the site. I removed their bakcdoors and John said he had deleted the database when they saw I had returned.

I spend a lot of time explaining how dangerous the database is to countless people's lives if fallen to the wrong hands. The numerous ways this could happen. They assure me I had nothing to worry about, that it's already gone.

Problem arose when John's way of handling things was rubbing many of the older staff members the wrong way. They wanted John gone or they would quit themselves. I sided with the other staff and had John removed.

John understandably wasn't happy about this, felt they have have been wronged, that the protesting staff members where the problem. I tried to find a compromise where John could be brought back, but not as a leader so that the staff wouldn't have to answer to them. John hold their ground as taking this would be admitting they were wrong after all and it's the leadership position they really wanted anyways.

Then John decided to try to force my hand:

Basically I would have to hand the site over to them or else they would dox everyone. Thus I responded with my own ultimatum. The only exit to this, to protect the users, was to shut the site down.

This obviously wasn't what John had planned. They backed off from some of their demands and then the rest.

For me to consider continuing from here, was to really make John to understand what an existential threat the pandora's box they had just opened was to the site. They seemed to realise this and agreed to, for real now, get rid of it. Additionally, collateral, John's real identity, was put into the hands of a common associate, to give me some peace of mind that in case John tried something, they could be held accountable.

None of this was ever disclosed to users, only to some of our staff, and I apologize for this.

Fast forward to present, John and another former staff member who were dating, were at each other's throats. They shared screenshots and chat logs of one other, containing threats, doxing, etc. Among all of this was John talking how they still hold onto a copy of the database as an insurance if they were ever banned. And after seeing all this, bans for them should be in order.

Soon after came threads from "truthsayer", newly created account who put up threads telling about John, how he still hold the copy, and that users of the site do not know about this.

The thing with having to ban John as well as having to explain what happened back in May, is that this will destroy John, giving them ample reason to come after me and the site.

Thus I am once again placed in the position where the only exit I see is to close the site down. The backup dates back to around May 22nd, 2025, and information it holds (user accounts, logs, private messages, etc. basically everything but the media itself) is only amplified with data made since, easily accessible from this site. With ATF gone, there's less of a reason for John to care to retaliate against their banning or this exposure as the fight over this site is at center of it all.

Now, upon hearing of the news of me closing down the site John denied having any copy, but also said if they did have it, this would ensure it's release. So be aware that if ATF ever resurfaces from an old copy, then it's their doing and they are not to be trusted and everything will be done to stop them.

Let us all hope that they let the site sunset in peace.

ladies and gents thats why you dont eat where you shit

Vistarrr made it seem like it was definitive, and even said that if there were a site, it probably wouldn’t be him in charge. I’d be careful.

that would be a sound concern, but given that the site was not taken offline just yet, and he still had access to it, i'll bet its still him, but the last point i can see still being valid, but i wanna hope dang it
