TYB from former four-month baker here (kek). Really appreciate your keeping the homefires burning, bc /qrb/ still serves a purpose. Moar than one, but it remains a good place for posting complex digs that can be accessed for the foreseeable future (complete with CAPS).
Very valuable for looking at the digs that were active just before 8chan was deplatformed, such as the circumstances that may have led to that deplatformming. Was just looking at that last night for hours - and found a LOT of suspicious activity around Cloudflare. For example, a new board member (Mar 2019) is head of the Nike Foundation - Maria Eitel. Turns out she's married to Peter Buffet, son of Warren. And there are connections to the notorious Templeton Foundation there as well.
Always suspected that CEO Matthew Prince's sudden decision NOT to provide 8chan with DDOS protection had something to do with the addition of Eitel as board member - along with the gift of $150m at about the same time (Mar 2019). Suspect Prince was told what to do by Eitel, other board members, and perhaps other unknown figures - and did it at midnight Oct 5 2019. Still relevant bc the same forces are trying to brings down both 8kun and Q movement.
There is still a LOT to dig on there. We never got to do that dig (although I tried on VOAT). But bc the info is still intact, we can easily pick up where we left off. Because it's all right here in /qrb/:
