FSC - what happened?HTML Code:--- An update on the ongoing KG downtime ---
Our apologies to all our users for the downtime and lack of updates on the situation. Here's the order of events from the last few weeks:
- your kind donations paid for the next 12 months of web hosting.
- BREIN lodged a complaint with our host. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BREIN
- we are still online at this point. we began planning how to handle the situation, then...
- an anonymous complaint to our domain registrar lead to suspension of our domain. this prevents your computer from translating karagarga.net into the IP address for our server.
We have disabled access to the main website and tracker. The forum is still accessible with a workaround (see below). No data has been lost or leaked and we hope to see you all soon.
- KG staff
