discussion Anti-Social & Lurker - Hideout spot

[jkj34]

Damn, I haven't been on ATF in years but hearing about it closing down it's pretty sad especially since it seems like it all happened because of some power hungry weirdo. Since Vis said that he will close it down in the next few months, maybe he will have time to reconsider and find a way to keep it alive. It would be a shame to see that place go down like that.

I DLED then posts in pdf there are 2 if you read it the individual in question stole a 2025 database of everyone's shit as ransom do what i say or else situation and also got down under ma in there (think of the children people) apparently threaten cops.


So if you see it back up watch the fuck out it could be just that user with the 2025 backup do not be the fly in the web.

Yeah... I thought the same. What baffles me is the cost of running ATF, though. It's one thing to say "I wanna run the joint". It;s another to shoulder 20K/year in costs while running the place. Did the guy who wanted to take over realize this? ATF is a huge site. I highly doubt he could handle it proper.

maybe he will have time to reconsider and find a way to keep it alive.

I doubt ATF will live on because a copy of the site may or may not exist. Too risky to continue with a knife like that on your neck. You can't trust a dude making threats then make a 180 saying "yeah I deleted the copy I made, promise"

Rest in peace ATF and God really does hate Australians
(JohnMolotov is apparently Australian which is likely why they're expecting the M.A.D gambit to actually work)

Couldn't they solve that by just migrating the content to a new site? People would have to create new accounts but since the site isn't closing down immediately they would have time to warn the users and let them move to the new site.

That cost is due to the content many host providers add extra cost when NSFW is involved they know they got you over the barrel so the will charge more.

the problem there is that the database itself is a threat all on it's own and as long as there's a site to blackmail with it, he's probably going to keep trying, or worse, actually search through the database for any PII anyone was foolish enough to risk on DM's or a staff forum or something, and start using that instead of using the whole thing as a blunt instrument.

that would require a lot of time, effort, and money. and would give about the same result as what is happening with the users moving to other sites like this

it would probably just kick the problem forward, it wouldn't solve it. Also from what i understand Vis is fed up with it, so he for sure wouldn’t be all that jazzed about a new site.
Turbo sad.
That said, would it be possible for someone in the uploaders team to mirror the game mods here?

They could but now it would be even more matters of trust. Teaching the successor. Giving deep secrets on how the site works. Entrusting the successor with this knowledge and treating all users with respect (protecting personal information / privacy). Funding. A ton is involved and clearly Vis wants off the treadmill. I don't think passing the baton is simple here. You need to find someone who embodies all this and more.

Mornin everyone, see we're welcoming in some refugees. Hope you can find a nice seat here.

As a former uploader its all done manually on here LC ha no local hosting of storage less legal ramification Lc relies on file upload sites those sites also have content limits and in the past blocked type files and or just got shutdown.

If we had all the games in a raw dump then over time game 2 game the can be added

It also a country situation along with payment prossing itself selling cocaine or selling a loli game right now same situation hell in some places you get less time selling drugs.

There was a case awhile back a anime call high school DXD the male voice actor Scott Freeman came back from japan was arrested in texas was serving 10years why? he had material from the show animated under age content it was all from the show but japan at that time it was fine usa put him next to the osma bin landin crew.

thats quite the pickle, this is why only a very few (like me and apollo) have access to the database, dont trust anyone.

As far as I understand John who fucked Vistarr over had almost the same role as Apollo has here Vistarr got sick and needed someone to handle things like backing up the database, and he knew John for quite a while before (John also helped with DDOS protection etc.).

Some people at ATF are pretty judgemental to Vistarr for trusting John, but honestly reliable people with technical know-how are pretty rare, especially with things like Xenforo. But there's also no way to really protect against it. Sometimes you just need help and you trust the wrong people who you've known for years.

So was it like cops made him flip thing or he found god or something?

From what I've seen it seems like Vis has the real ID of the john guy and he is from Australia. So I think he could still keep the site up. I doubt that the john guy would be crazy enough to leak the stuff he has when he knows that he would end up in the same place as westy.

He is crazy enough to blackmail Vis with that data for years now, why not crazy enough to go further? I understand why ATF admin tired to try keeping things in tact.
