A functioning 8kun media server does exist.
Go to: C:windows/systems32/drivers/etc/hosts
or for linux /etc/hosts
Add the following to the bottom of the file
193.178.169.19 media.8kun.top
Images will reappear when you refresh.
Current graphic post shown below.
Be prepared to remove the line you added when the new server set up is put in place.
Risk: This server could be compromised since it apparently is not sanctioned by Watkins. Be sure to use a VPN.
Do not understand why Watkins would say it is not hosted, it has been made inaccessible thru the published DNS name for media.8kun.top but it is undoubtedly actually out there at this IP address.
