I have more. I just got them mixed up.
Hello James,
Thank you for your response.
We understand your reference to the Executive Order and the broader discussion surrounding free speech and government censorship. However, Epik is a private company and not a government entity. The Executive Order you referenced addresses actions taken by the Federal Government and does not restrict the ability of private companies to enforce their own Terms of Service or acceptable use policies.
The issue in this case is not lawful speech or disagreement over moderation of controversial opinions. The material identified on domains within your account involved illegal content depicting animal cruelty, which is prohibited under U.S. law and explicitly forbidden under Epik’s Terms of Service. Content that violates criminal law is not protected speech.
While we recognize that your platforms contain large volumes of user-generated content, the number of users or posts on a platform does not change the responsibility of the domain operator. Operators of user-generated platforms are expected to implement and enforce reasonable moderation practices, particularly when illegal content is reported or discovered. The presence of such material on domains under your control constitutes a violation of the policies agreed to when registering and maintaining services with Epik.
For these reasons, the actions outlined in our previous notice remain in effect.
As previously stated, you may transfer any remaining domains from your account prior to 0500 PST on Monday, March 9, 2026 using the authorization code provided in the prior notice.
If you have procedural questions regarding domain transfers, please let us know.
Regards,
Abuse Team

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding your domains with Epik.
We can confirm that the following domains remain eligible for transfer and are currently unlocked:
8kun.net
2ch.net
8ch.net
As outlined in our previous correspondence, bbspink.com and 5ch.net have been permanently suspended due to the severity and nature of the content violations identified on these domains.
These domains are ineligible for transfer and will remain suspended.
We encourage you to initiate transfers of the eligible domains using the authentication code provided in our previous notice.
Please note that your account access will be blocked as of 0500 PST on Monday, March 9, 2026. Any remaining domains not transferred by that deadline will be suspended until transfer or expiration.
