May he be bankrupted by a Nigerian prince 100x over.  (TSK AHOLE, not a new owner)


LOL

What are you saying, that TSK lied about he and his family being doxx'd?

Isn't being doxx'd reason enough to want to get rid of it and/or make it someone else's problem? Maybe someone else has the deep pockets to deal with those types of security issues.

Not sure if you're slow to catch up, but that's exactly what we're saying.

He's been bullshitting everyone the whole f'n time.

Announcement made that hosting has been paid for by a 'friend of the forum' for a whole year.  
So it's not shutting down anytime soon.


RE: Deny Ignorance is shutting down - Freija - 03-14-2026

Well, now DI isn't shutting down. Their hosting has been paid for a year and they are officially soliciting buyers.

https://denyignorance.com/Thread-Good-news

I haven't really posted much there except lately about RN and probably won't post again in the future unless I absolutely must. I'll save all my lunatic ramblings and nonsense for my family here who is more used to putting up with me.

It's not so much that we're used to you as it is that we're just... scared of you! We're pretty sure you have a nail gun, and are not afraid to use it.

It looks to me like there may have been some back-room dealing going on over there. I noticed it wasn't TSK who posted the news. Either way, I'm cool with it, and glad they could find a way to stay afloat. Folks get used to a thing, and then they don't want to light anywhere else and they get out of sorts if their perch is pulled. I can understand that, as a creature of habit myself.

Besides, the more the merrier - isn't that what they say?

And we get the impression you are not afraid to use them.

I have good news and potentially better news:
The good news is that DI's hosting was paid for a whole year by a kind friend of the forum, so we aren't going anywhere soon.

The potentially better news is that DI is accepting buying offers, contact denyignorance@protonmail.com for more details.



RE: Deny Ignorance is shutting down - Freija - 03-15-2026

Now they're posting they are looking for moderators. They already have way too many moderators unless they are planning to clean house?

Oh goodness.   There are three members over there who think they are spectacular but in reality are just trolls.  If any of them end up being moderators the place will empty out.   seriously.   It will be interesting to see what happens with this.


RE: Deny Ignorance is shutting down - MykeNukem - 03-15-2026

Interesting information.

I'm surprised no one has asked him why he's selling what was donated to him?

I gave him the denyignorance.com domain with 10 years pre-paid. 

All of you guys made the content and donated for the hosting.

Why doesn't he give it to one of you? That would be the proper and non-scummy thing to do IMO.

Just sayin ..

RE: Deny Ignorance is shutting down - Freija - 03-16-2026

Okay, this has gotten nasty and I've had my fill of drama for the day/week so I'm done with this. Thank goodness for RN.

https://denyignorance.com/Thread-Touch-Grass

It comes up when the site loads. Pretty shitty and probably against their own T&Cs?


RE: Deny Ignorance is shutting down - quintessentone - 03-16-2026

So are we back to 'DI shutting down'?

Are you the person in this 2 way conversation revealed in this thread?
https://denyignorance.com/Thread-Touch-Grass
Something about challenging the handover to a new owner?
Something about no receipt paying for the domain?
It looks like there is a lot going on between people at different sites
that the rest of us have no clue about.

Here's a hint: The truth has nothing to do with how my response was a touch snarky. Careful not to mix those up. 

If you want the truth, you can find it.

Yes, I am.

That was sent when I found out he was selling the site as opposed to handing it to someone from the community.

To say there's more going on is the understatement of the year, but this isn't my site and I won't dirty it up with the information. 

There's information here: atatw about the real issue.

That's sorta kinda the way we did it here.

When Mrs. G. passed, the staff gathered in a smoke-filled back room with big Cuban cigars, and selected a new Supreme Leader. I just happened to draw the short straw.

We don't really have anyone authorized to "sell" this site. De facto, it belongs to the membership, because they foot the bills and create the content. On paper,Mrs. G. is still the Site Owner. Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were never able to change the paperwork out of her name and into someone else's.

I'm just managing it in her absence.

So,there really is no one authorized to sell this site. Therefore it'll never be sold out from under y'all. I expect that when I jump ship off this mortal coil, there will have to be another meeting in the smoke-filled back room (we keep it filled with smoke, just in case) and a new Fearless Leader will have to be selected. 

But it won't be sold.

I was blissfully ignorant, I enjoy having a place to talk about all thats happening, hell, I need it.

Feels like I jumped on the wrong horse... 

But since the loss of ATS, I post on DI, RN, and read 2-3 message boards here and there, and read X.com and Discord when there's a big event occurring, and just get lost in sorting out the bullshit fiction from fact.

 Now there is such an onslaught of questionable posts and videos, finding the right sources is difficult...

Most people didn't know because it was censored and covered up on DI.

I don't hold that against anyone, people can go where they want, and I think us forum operators would rather people go where they 'fit' the best. It makes all of our lives easier, lol.

I've made a lot of friends over the years, on ATS, RN, DI, and now CA too and I didn't like seeing them treated that way and lied to, so, as is the norm for me, I spoke up. I certainly don't want drama but I believe people deserve the truth.

Either way, as most know RN will always have my support as I've been treated with nothing but respect and hospitality since I first refugee'd here myself. DI will too, but they have to get rid of the scummy tsk. One bad apple running things will ruin the whole thing IMO.

Hopefully this sorts itself out and everyone can move on. 

Maybe 'Dorko' will make a comeback?  Big Grin

I approach things the same way. I always say my site is owned by the members, not me.

RE: Deny Ignorance is shutting down - F2d5thCav - 03-17-2026

It would be interesting someday to read a factual and unbiased history of ATS as a site ... the start, the high time, and the decline ... and what drove the content and behavior of the site over the years.
