Cancels your site because of ideological reasons
yes we get that you don't like it but there's nothing you can do about it so just move on
Jow Forums is next.
Ya know what's funny? Cloudflare hosts the fucking stormfront. Ironic, no?
Stormfront is literally FBI honeypot.
the hypocrisy is fucking amazing. cloudflare is a joke.
>literally FBI honeypot
provide evidence or shut the fuck up.
what is stormfront? some kind of actual neo-nazi website? Or is it something actually illegal? now you said that I'm afraid to look it up on a (((search engine)))
>NOOO WHY WONT A PRIVATE COMPANY HOST MY RACISM AND CP
>provide evidence or shut the fuck up.
Its showed up on google search. That's all the evidence you need.
It's like Jow Forums but more lukewarm.
And that's a good thing.
> makes retarded claim
> can't provide proof
> muh google it
thought so. you're just yet another one of Jow Forums's finest compulsive lying fucking morons that has NOTHING. absolutely marvellous.
Can someone explain to me what triggered 8 chan getting taken down? Was there a big push or something? Did someone with endless pockets somehow make that happen?
Just because he posted his manifesto doesn't seem like enough reason for cloudflare to take it down, something must have motivated them
>unironically defending an FBI honeypot for teenage edgelord white kids
> cloudflare is hosting
> hosting
wow. what a dumb cunt.
Hi agent boomer smith. Getting paid for getting fucked in the ass? How's the anime trap girls collection going?
>something must have motivated them
Have you been on that website for more than 5 minutes and seen the average comment that gets posted there?
> still no proof
> just retarded shitposts
we're still waiting for this proof. a link? some docs? and you have nothing to show for it? i suspect your entire life has been this way. how you haven't popped a loaded shotgun into your mouth and blown your head off is truly a miracle from god. start posting your evidence.
There were many boards. Which one do you mean?
All of them
Yeah, I used to browse 8ch occasionally. It's just like Jow Forums but less traffic, less kiddos and less shitposting
I would understand if they pulled it for cp, but anything else? No. I've seen worse shit posted on Jow Forums
Evidence is that 8c was honeypot itself where FBI self antaged themselves so they will have evidence of some illicit/illegal behavior of site. 8c did not even showed up on google search. Stormfront does. Concidence? I think not FBI faggot.
Most companies don't have ideologies.
Cloudflare ceasing business with (6+2)chan was:
(a) a well-timed PR move
(b) saving face from being cancelled by the incredibly small, but big in appearance twitter mob for "helping hate speech"
stormfront wasn't in the news on the topic of a mass shooting - nor have I even heard of them up until this point. Until then, cloudflare will continue to do business with them until they make the news. Are you that dumb you don't see they're just going where the money is?
>Jow Forums - technology
>using google
>TRUSTING google
yikes
>less kiddos and less shitposting
I see it's opposite day today.
I have browsed 8ch for years. And the only board which could be considered problematic in SJW eyes is Jow Forums. They did not even used n word that much and had lot's of conspiracy pedo rings threads up. This might why they got shut down.
Stormfront has been in the news before. There's lefties trying to get it shut down and censored as well.
8ch is relatively obscure as fuck. I don't see notoreitery as a valid reason for it being taken down. Again, I think something/someone big caused it
Technically they do cache a lot of content and serve it themselves
>less kiddos and less shitposting
are you fucking kidding me? how long did you use 8ch for? 10 minutes? maybe 20? it was no different than here. a shitload of Jow Forums's users moved to there.
> be you
> a fat amerilard
> can't post links to any proof
nobody was surprised. post links to proof, dumb cunt.
> a cache is now hosting
you dribbling spastic. you're dumber than this dumb cunt:
The oldfags moved there. Jow Forums has had an influx of newfags for well over a decade now. It's barely usable
You are literally dumb retard. Fuck off from my sight boomer.
If cloudflare went down then the site is unaccessible. By definition they are hosting it
8 was all over the news in the wake of three mass shootings within the span of 1-2 months. Stormfront has never made it to mass international news, as far as I'm concerned.
I'm not saying 8 is to blame - they had nothing to do with the last shooting, I'm trying to say their negative media presence is what made cloudflare bring down the banhammer.
Was it right? no.
Was cloudflare right to do it? probably. If I ran a DDoS protection service and a site I worked with was getting huge amounts of negative press, I would disassociate myself with them as quickly as possible. Boycotts are not a fun thing to be tangled in.
i only noticed it really turning into shit around 2014/15.
> he thinks a cache is hosting
LMAO. technically, you're absolutely brain damaged.
You have no point and can only call names. Checkmate buddy
>Stormfront has never made it to mass international news, as far as I'm concerned
give it time. some sjw trash will start a campaign to manipulate the cuck ceo of cloudflare to do something so he gets good goy points on the social media services. image is everything to these parasites.
> being this braindamaged to think even for a microsecond that cloudflare is hosting
imagine not knowing how the internet works? you are 100% brain damaged and should be in a care home for the mentally challenged.. or reddit.
>CDN is not hosting
Post an alternative to it. Also, please post an alternative to recaptcha
well to be fair, they didn't have a problem with the racism until their Jow Forums board became a planning ground for mass shooters
I went on there after the shootings and the users were unironically cheering on the successful shooters and the mods seemed to be encouraging it as well.
El Paso Shooter, the Gilroy Shooter the NZ shooter all had connections to their Jow Forums board
Obviously you're not going to be allowed to stay up if you're a running a website that's bascially a staging ground for mass shootings.
I get that some of mass shooters have connections to Jow Forums as well but the mods don't encourage it and there isn't unanimous unironic support for it the way it was there.
And too be honest infinity is pleddit tier for censorship, we just don't see it because it's right rather than left. For example when that Hannah Hays thing was going on their Jow Forums board was intent on saving her. So I did the natural thing and went on there and mocked them for it, I got an instant ban after two posts. Same thing with their Christian forum, say anything bad about Catholicism and the Catholic users will report you and the Catholic mods will ban you.
Sure it's not moderation by the site Admins so no one complains, but who cares, the end result is still the same, you are extremely limited in the stuff you can say on those places
Which is what user moderation always leads to - a plebbit tier hive mind of censorship where questioning or mocking the commonly held opinion of the mods and their friends gets you banned.
We have this problem every day
> cloudflare is hosting websites!1
what a retard.
There was a competitor. But they were leasing all their servers from a third company. When Anglin et al signed up it wasn't a big deal, but when notorious -chan signed up in the middle of the controversy it caused the third company to stop leasing servers to the company hosting them.
Except /leftypol/ coexisted just fine on infinite chan. You just went to a shitty board.
>El Paso Shooter, the Gilroy Shooter the NZ shooter all had connections to their Jow Forums board
They had not.
of course image is everything in business.
do you ever wonder why FOX is borderline bankrupt and had to sell their movie studio, yet MTV is making serious money again?
I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you convince enough of the proles that your company is on their side politically, you will keep your business running for decades.
we heard you the first time. now shoo. This is a technology board
>Planning grounds
They posted about it only after going through with their plan (right before rather). No one planned shootings on there. This simply isn't true.
Oh god, so there are no competitors to cloudflare?
They host your static resources, retard.
And one of those providers breached the contract, I have no idea why they haven't sued yet.
host my dick, bitchboy :D
LOL!
epic
PR move since they started / are gonna start selling stocks
this is the thread from the nz shooter
I don't know the one from the El Paso shooter but I went on their afterwards and they were celebrating how one of their own did the shooting and they should cherish and support their heros
but you can say the same thing about plebbit before they did their great purge of toxic subs. Heck even now you have r/stormfront on there.
that doesn't make the site any less shit because hive minds where you are not allowed to question the prevailing board opinion and having alternative hiveminds for various opinions doesn't make it any better.
I can stand Jow Forums's pol board because I can go on there and post about how niggers aren't bad or how Jews aren't evil, and not get banned for it.
Heck if I make rational arguements I can actually get a meaningful argument from those guys.
You can't do that on plebbit which is why it is shit, I was banned from r.Donald for raising some question about him, and I'm a Trump supporter. A response like, "you can only post that on other anti-Trump subs" is stupid. There is no discussion where only a subset of opinions are allowed and having different hugboxes for different opinions doesn't make it better. The problem is the hugbox and having communities that refuse to allow themselves to be questioned
>this is the thread from the nz shooter
Well thank god they shut down 8ch and no one will ever know or prove that your image is photoshoped or real. :-)
that's their own fault for not allow the goy to achieve and demanding self maintained archives
It didn't. I just stopped providing its service.
Which in today's web is as good as killing a website.
And screenshots of CrippleChan threads with (You)s were presented by American intelligence agencies as evidence in courts.
How is this not a fucking honeypot?
It is
the unstated premise is a controversial website should get first class hosting and payment processing which is simply not true
The same mental obortions who are upset about this are the libertarian fuckwads who espouse the wonders of free market.
The irony is dreadful.
that's a fair argument, freedom means the freedom to refuse services to people. I think Christians should be able to have a right to refuse gay wedding cakes. Racists should have a right to refuse black customers.
The problem becomes when a services is so big that they are a monopoly that you can't get a necessary service any other way. Which is the argument some people are making. But I think you are right here. I don't think that applies to cloud flare, I'm hosting a website without cloud flare, they are by no means necessary to web hosting.
Yes cloud-flare can save on bandwidth but it's by no means the only way to save on bandwidth. Heck I don't think these arguments apply to google or facebook either. They're not the only way to get your site found on the internet. Sure it makes it much harder without them, but there is no obligation on companies to provide their services to make things easier for you.
>that's a fair argument, freedom means the freedom to refuse services to people
No. Corporations don't have rights. They should be obliged to serve all.
so if I own a bakery and decide to incorporate to protect myself against liability, I'm required to serve gay customers demanding wedding cakes?
What if I have a small chain of restaurants and I want to exclude blacks from the restaurant, should I have that right?
Nobody hosts anything unless it's run on a single machine exposed to the web, got it. Speaking of people who don't know how the internet works... top lel m8
Blacks no, skin colour is not something you choose.
Being a NIGGER however, is a choice of lifestyle. Or submitting to Islam. Incidentally, also like faggotry. You should be perfectly fine to have no sagging pants policies or no hats (including turbans or headscarves) or a policy against assless chaps or any metric by which you want to ban the target demographic.
Actually this is the most believable answer in the thread
>Not just taking the money
>Haha it got shut down because we were going to uncover their vast conspiracy on our nepalese track and field forum!
Delusions of grandeur are not healthy.
DNS servers are now hosts.
>El Paso Shooter, the Gilroy Shooter the NZ shooter all had connections to their Jow Forums board
As well as Kikebook and Twitter...
Those sites should also be shut down.
The el paso guy didn't post on there, he posted it on instagram and then someone posted it there. But cloudflare insisted that there was a connection and nuked the site. They'd probably wanted to since the NZ guy but either 1. needed someone else to post a murderman's manifesto there in order to make a big dumb virtue signaling shitpost about it or 2. couldn't risk holding anything the lugenprasse cabal had deemed to be a den of monsters right before their IPO.
You can choose a different DNS server and access the same site. Durrrrrr. What a shitty point you just tried to make. You should be ashamed.
damn this glowie is good, almost convincing.
With a little bit of technical skill and creativity, a recaptcha alternative is easy. I'm working on one myself for an imageboard. It should be a simple math problem as a composed image, i.e. the background could be a blue sky and font foreground a flowers pattern or sonething
Nothing to see here folks, I'm just your friendly neighborhood anonomouse
Good boy
if someone painted a swastika on a bus and it happened to drive around town spreading 'hate speach' do they shut down the bus company?
Speaking of cancelling shit, PayPal just told Hiro to GTFO with 4channel.org

>nothing you can do about it
Perhaps not Cloudflare specifically, but there is literally nothing other than time and money preventing someone from building their own solution. All you need is a single rack in a handful of datacenters across the world with local peering arrangements at each. Sure, you might not get last mile peering shit with each ISP like Google or Netflix have, but DIY is good enough for 99.99999% of use cases (aka not streaming 4k video to millions of people).

whats last mile peering
>Stormfront is literally FBI honeypot.
Cloudflare is literally NSA honeypot
"Give us your SSL keys, we'll protect you from DDOS and accelerate your traffic"
Who falls for this shit?
Jow Forums has the occasional kernels of truth but stormfront is just brainlet home page
It's when you squint down the pipe to see the end.
You're peering down the last mile.
anything not following the consensus is a honeypot and not to be trusted.
Da fuq are you taking about? They still accept PayPal
I think he's saying you can get a "good enough" CDN with just a few well placed servers so you don't need a top tier one
Fuck 8fags tbqh.
not anymore
agreed recaptcha alt would be easy,
all you need is something that generates novel trivia questions, it can ask what color an elephant is, and then ask who the prophet of Islam is, and then ask what the capital of Italy is.
The bot would have to read the sentence, comprehend it, and generate an answer. Given enough randomness there's no way a bot would be able to do that with 3 questions in a row.
Watson was able to do it on Jeapordy because Jeapordy pre-categorizes questions in order to let the robot narrow it's response. But as far as I know there isn't a bot out there than can answer trivia questions.
You'd just have to generate a large number of trivia questions which shouldn't be too hard because bots can generate trivia questions, they just can't answer them
If its so easy how come there are no open source alternatives available?
because you haven't looked very hard

also included this non-free one because it's very similar to what I described
