Internet’s longest-running white supremacist site offline

Stormfront, one of the internet’s oldest and most popular white supremacist sites, has been booted off its web address of more than two decades amid a crackdown against hate sites.

The address Stormfront.org went dark on Friday, and publicly available information current lists its domain status as “under hold,” a category reserved for websites under legal dispute or slated for deletion, the USA Today network first reported.

The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, a D.C.-based nonprofit group, said it was behind the effort and had successfully booted the website from its domain of 22 years by raising its concerns with Stormfront’s registrar, Network Solutions LLC, and its parent company, Web.com.

The Left congratulates themselves for shutting down free speech. What they are too short sighted to realize is the fringe just moves underground; in this case to the dark web.

You let lunatic groups rant and they (a) blow off steam and (b) you can monitor them. You drive them underground and now you’ve sealed the safety valve on the pressure cooker. It won’t end well.

I think he is saying there are a lot of racist remarks said here on FR. And he would be right. There are quite a few followers that do not know what conservatism means, and they are doing their level-best to keep black conservatives out by their hateful remarks.

That there is a doozy. I can hear the faint scratching of those tens of thousands of black conservatives at the heavy wooden gates of racist, sexist and Luddite Free Republic. You could get Ana Navarro to harangue one of them and call it an interview. You're quite a social critic.

ICANN registrars (GoDaddy, Google, Network Solutions) have been hijacking domain registrations, refusing to perform DNS, etc.. Nearly all residential ISP’s block port 80 and 443 preventing you from ‘being your own host’. Attempting to put any ‘controversial’ content online requires the use of a DDOS mitigation service (such as CloudFlare, Akamai, etc..)

see: Why the alt-right can’t build an alt-internet https://www.theverge.com/2017/8/21/16180614/charlottesville-daily-stormer-alt-right-internet-domain

I was hosting my own site on a residential ISP using DynDNS for about $80 per year. It's very possbile to host your own a number of ways.

If something is to be considered conservative, it might as well be genuine. Stormfront and the like were mostly blowing off personal steam. That’s even a common condition of FR. Bringing the glory of God to the fore is the only way to get a lasting regeneration and victory.

I always thought that too, especially their posting rule #1 was 'no racial epithets'.

The people with the bats, bike locks and lawfare lawyers supported by Soros, Tides Foundation & Ford Foundation are the real threat to Americans.

Stormfront is definitely a supremacist site. I’m not for the supremacy of ANY race, so I’m not shedding a tear.

Have any Black supremacist or Communist sites been taken offline? What goes around comes around.

Isn’t there a fed law saying you can’t discriminate or violate civil liberties if you receive fed money?

If the gov helps subsidize access to the internet for the poor, maybe that could be used as a basis for suit.

What are "hate sites"

CNN is a hate site.

Thanks for asking. :-)

[P.O.E.]

After recent publicity, I checked out Stormfront to see for myself. (I don’t think I had ever heard of it before). Spent about 2 minutes there, got freaked out and never looked back.

That’s the beauty of free speech. Instead of just wondering, one can see for oneself and evaluate.

Lefties, however, in their zeal for “equality of outcome” already know what they want you to think and will force you into it, either passive-aggressively or straight out aggressively.

Does your site have the traffic that Stormfront and Daily Stormer had (large)?

What you described will work until DytnDNS locsk your domain and refuses to resolve it.

It will work until your hosting company drops you for some vague terms of service violation.

It will work until hostile groups DDOS your site (or actually your hosting service) into submission.

You cannot host large sites on $80 per year services (designed personal sites). Even a small business site can be effectively shut down if the payment services refuse service.

Your $80 per-year site is up because it is not perceived a threat or has not caught the Eye of Sauron.

Alt-tech will arise and build services (at least partly) outside the grip of the current establishment, but that is a large, difficult, and expensive undertaking.

Time for someone to start hacking and destroying some websites.

I don't doubt any of that, but the original premise was "Nearly all residential ISP’s block port 80 and 443 preventing you from ‘being your own host’"., which is wrong.

Also, I had to learn ipchains pretty well, as the attacks from China were pretty fierce even directed towards my little site.

Stormfront will invade FR again and get us shut down.

“It isn’t enough to be “anti-hate.” One must be pro-love.”

Bares repeating.

"Living off of slavery and unfair exploitation is part of a fallen-Rome grade problem. It’s fun while it lasts but those chickens come back to roost. China, for example, will demand the glory that it believes that it is due — a glory which Satan is demanding through them. Why isn’t our own secular left on top of this? Because they are a brotherhood to no good."

Well said. The PLA in China even uses ancient folklore to preach about taking a larger place in the world if not taking it all. "The Yellow River runs out to the sea" and all of that sort of thing.

So racism on FR is OK? Got it. You are quite the asshole.
