I might be wrong or it might be my ignorance. Isn't this issue of seeing the forum down became more prevalent after the Bitcoin mixer issue. I mean it is more frequent and long lasting before the mixer got down by the FBI. I think there is something wrong and I feel the admin should have two urls. One .org and the next should be .onion.
This mere forum has nothing to do about those shutdown mixers. Yes, they can advertise here, but nothing more than that.
Since this forum's hosting server(namecheap) is based on US and if they wants to summon theymos to the court for some shitty reasons they do that already if there is, and they can just request to namecheap to shutdown the site's server for good. But that:s not the case. As per theymos, the downtime is almost the same hours from previous ones, and conclude its just a scheduled maintenance from the hosting, nothing more.
