Probably missed a bill again. It's been behaving oddly for weeks.

it probably wasn't the fbi, since anything (obviously) illegal was removed pretty quickly. it's more likely kirt being poor & unable to pay. he mentioned taking the imageboard server down temporarily because he would be "thousands of dollars in debt by the end of the month" after the worldwide pedo invasion.

Too bad that metered bandwidth is so common on the west side of the pond. Really, it sucks. People have all these odd compulsions about "hotlinking" and coming up with kid sister scripts to "disable" right-clicking and so forth. Drives me up the wall, it does, especially when bandwidth is a continually renewing resource more than any other resource around.

I heard it was DDoS somewhere, however this might well just be a crazy rumour (there were many flying around last time it went down.) Prior to the current downtime there was a frontpage announcement concerning the img server being down for a while due to "Russian pedofags" so a pedo invasion is the most likely reason.

It was all due to the hidden /pedo/ board (which is unlikely to come back at that address if at all). Some dipshits blabbed about the link here, and other places. Russians spammed the board with *real* CP. The DDoS happened after Russian IP addresses were blocked. After that, the site just went down "temporarily." My guess is Kirt's waiting the idiots out.

I don't think russian pedos would bother with ddos, just for being blocked. Antis seem more likely. I wonder if 4chan is next.

Yeah, I always thought the pedo board was a bad idea. Its noble purpose was to get the legal-but-nasty "child model" shit off of /b/ to where normal users didn't have to see it, but just having a board called "pedo" was kind of asking for CP to be posted sooner or later. Stricter moderation / more mods would have been a better solution.

/pedo/ was never hidden though.

It was hidden in the sense that it wasn't linked from the main page. Also, towards the end, it was password-protected.
