Anonymous internet forum 8chan resurfaced over the weekend after going offline in August following a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas. Now named 8kun, the site had 63 active public boards as of Monday.
Two days later, however, the rebranded site was back in internet purgatory when its domain registrar pulled the plug. Tucows said N.T. Technology, the parent company of 8kun and 8chan, had violated its services agreement.
"Yesterday, Tucows terminated N.T. Technology, Inc., the reseller for the domains that have hosted the 8chan forum, for violating the terms of the OpenSRS reseller agreement," Reg Levy, head of compliance for Tucows, said in an email Thursday. "The specifics of the breach are a private matter." (OpenSRS is a domain reseller company owned by Tucows.)
Ron Watkins, the site administrator for 8kun, didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
LOL Ya you betcha, Q and the Patriots are in charge!
They can't even post on the internet. So much for Military Intel being Q.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.
