More conservative websites getting shut down?

Posted on 01/11/2021 1:47:27 PM PST by A.M. Smith

Obviously, we know Parler was shut down, anyone familiar with others?

About an hour ago the most popular rifle forum ar15.com went offline. Someone said Google was blocking their DNS.

Great purge is coming I think and I'm sure there will be more casualties.

Site seems fine now. Google can't block DNS requests for a specific website unless they're operating the DNS.

My dad talked about those BBS’s - bulletin boards where people would have their own chat rooms on their home computers. I wonder if it’ll go back to that.

Times have sure shifted. High tech lynching at its finest. Remember the old days when they used to just shoot up ball fields and mrc outlets?

Funny that you mentioned this.
I have been trying to get onto rtntv (YouTube conservative alternative) for the past hour and it just keeps loading.

I guess we’ll see..

I ran a BBS up until 1995. It has crossed my mind to resurrect it at least a time or two.

They would come for Free Republic as well but they realize we are all a bunch of old cranks that will die soon anyhow.

All of the conservative websites that don’t have their own servers are probably going to be shut down.
Of course this is an opportunity for anyone who can set up a server farm on a backbone to host these sites.

It’s redirecting to “ar15-backup.com” for me. No discussion of what the problem is in the forums.

My wife is a Rush 24/7 subscriber and after his show today wanted to read the transcripts, the site was down for her.

I tried it and it was down for me...

About 15 minutes later I tried rushlimbauh.com again and this time the page came up....

But I just tried before make this post and it’s down again.....

Not sure what’s going on, but rushlimbaugh.com could be in the sights of the liberal mob and about to be eliminated...

Do it! We’ll need to resurrect IRC, telnet, and NNTP protocols. They’re our only hope at this point.
