You already wrote them a very compelling appeal and their response was "fuck you, you're like KIWIFARMS"
Yeah, it is absolutely. Our version of Xenforo is up to date, but that site (and others) release xenforo updates as soon as they're available. I've been handling that as our addons get updates released both on the nullforums and on https://enxf.net/
We are in good shape regarding Xenforo. We have alternate sources to get updates from. As long as Xenforo leaves us alone, we are okay. But in the event they decide to get nasty with us and we are forced to change, the best open source forum for us is Simple Machines. It is what I have used before converting to Xenforo. I am very reluctant to use BB or a BB derivative after what happened with that incompetent Developer with MyBB.
They won't get nasty with us; they can send letters telling you to stop using their product but remember, Josh has been using xenforo for years after they terminated his license. They either can't or won't do anything about it.
I am hoping they won't but there's a chance( even if remote ) after Kiwifarms they may try to make an example out of us.
I really don't think they'll do that because I don't think there's anything they can actually do about us. I skimmed through HostGator's terms of service for example, there is nothing there specifically (at least that I skimmed through) that says they give a shit about what we post. Everything says that they defer 100% of the responsibility for content onto the user of their service. The host doesn't care and even IF the host cared, Cloudflare wouldn't care since that was the service Josh used for a long time on his unlicensed instance of XenForo. Dreamhost too. Unlike Josh, everyone knows that you'd be more compliant and professional when dealing with hosts which was Josh's downfall. We have options and we have you, a reasonable and mature-enough adult who can talk to people without telling them to kill themselves lol. OnionFarms will be 100% fine and I seriously doubt XF would do any more than send you annoying emails about your unlicensed instance.
HostGator will host controversial sites as long as it is legal and within their TOS. I don't want Onionfarms to have anything to do with being associated as a white nationalist/white supremacy site.
What Onionfarms.net actually is will be for geopolitical drama (countries). It is a separate forum because geopolitical drama is basically out of its element here. I actually did have the domain Onionchan. This was going to be for Naught because he was looking for a Wizardchan alternative but it did not carry forward and the domain expired.
I am already setting something up to track social media accounts of people of interest (cows, celebrities and countries) on my main word press site: https://kennetherwinengelhardt.com/ Something like a cwcki to keep up to date on our favorite cows might not be a bad idea but you only want to go in-depth on a very few people so you don't get burned out on trying to keep it up to date.
What happened with the lolcow wiki was that Null wanted everybody he thought was a lolcow on there. Most of the categories sat there empty and people simply lost interest in maintaining it. But if there is interest in the ralphapedia that would be fine with me.
