Yes. Jim literally drove the 8chan servers around the US in his car seeking a hosting location during the interval between 8chan and 8kun.
Jim is Ron's father and he wrote to us Nov 3:
"I know that some people are concerned that Codemonkey has resigned from Admin on https://8kun.top/
Don't worry, he left things in good shape. It is a lot to ask for someone to volunteer so much time towards an organization that doesn't help feed his family. So, at this time he feels he has done his civic duty. The current boss is beat, and he is starting the next level in his life. That's my boy and he is a good one. I am proud of him. Good luck Ron."
