What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

sonatime...as you can plainly see "NP little cancel culture" to include Brad and Joe (and I'm sure you know who they are) have been trying to cancel me since I arrived here in Nov. of 2017. I don't know if you have yet, but I was just extended an invite to join rule_violation and that's where I'm headed unless I get an apology

Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet you, but I'm sure we'll meet some day....Happy New Year!

Nice to make your acquaintance

Lefties can come across a little rabid but they are all good on the internet. Certain people can't help themselves and need to tell others what to do and how to live life but I also don't see and end to that. Everyone is a victim of some programming.
NP is a cool place but do what is best for you. If you look at your post NP block mentions of other forums for obvious enough reasons.
And yes you have been a magnet for the cancel crowd, ouch welcome to the online reality where diversity of thought is no allowed.

Happy New Year, may it be a prosperous one

Have fun rooting for Washington Football Team.

Hopefully they can come up with a better name in the near future. Washington Football Team sounds more like the name of a team in Major League Soccer.

If you follow the soccer (ie real football) pattern, it should be Washington FC. FC = Football Club. Football Team sounds lame.

How much is Epik is getting paid or how much money is Epik going to get?

Does Epik has their own servers or they are using AWS as an affiliate?

@Rob Monster may be able to clarify. But I doubt very much that Epik operates their own servers. At best, they rent them out or act as an affiliate.

LOL. Did you miss these acquisitions in 2019:

https://bitmitigate.com/
https://sibyl.li/

This month we have been working on a new round of $2 million capital deployment for expanded cloud capacity across 3 primary data centers and 10 new high capacity CDN nodes.

We have learned much over the last 2 years about resiliency for clients. These best practices are distilled here:

https://bitmitigate.com/sovereign-hosting.html

Resilient tech stack.

Resilient people.

Resilient supply chain.

Resilient governance.

And to God be the glory.

Quick traceroute will clarify everything. LOL.

@Rob Monster Don't inject God into the discussion. I find it hard to square that God is in agreement with the actions you have taken as a company to allow extremist sites a platform to spew hateful speech.

@Rob Monster This is a legacy that you have chosen to embrace and will stay with you for the rest of your life.

I personally like to hear what all sides have to say as long as they handle themselves in a civilized manner without all the hate, insults, and threats and I do hold Rob in high regards as long as he gives the same opportunity to all sides to express their views even to those with opposing views to his own personal beliefs and ideologies.

Without hearing what all sides have to say we won't be able to come up with some common grounds that we all can agree on towards ending all that is ailing Humanity and our Home Planet.

Sounds like a blanket statement.

Nothing in life is guaranteed.

Why are you condemning Rob?

There is nothing hidden or stated in undertone. You can just review this thread. Everything now stated are just footnotes.

Since he decided today would be a good day to share more about Epik, I guess I will do so while those who seek drama can follow along.

We own many IPv4 and IPv6 ranges. We own them through various legal entities that are controlled by Epik Holdings Inc, of which I am the overwhelming majority shareholder. Example:

'

We are the ONLY company in the WHOLE world that is capable of operating the entire tech stack from end to end:

- Registry
- Registrar
- Hosting Provider
- Network Routers and Border Gateway Protocol
- Content Delivery Network
- Denial of Service Mitigation
- Intermedia root certificate authority
- Virtual Private Network

So, yes, resiliency and digital sovereignty are a thing these days. We have it, and we actually sell it. You can have it too -- we sell a full-service solution that is affordable for any serious host.

More details here:

https://bitmitigate.com/sovereign-hosting.html

It is an excellent product. I highly recommend it and we even do 20% finders fees for anyone who wants to bring us new clients who want to be sovereign on the web.



So, plug into Epik. If we agree with your mission, we'll keep you online.

LOL. You really like that word, "provocateur". Anyone can do a traceroute.

Be careful before accepting a "finder's fee" because Epik may use it for any reason, as in taking your domain away because they deem it as payment for it.

Rob Monster said:

I would rephrase that to say:

If you are a Righteous Force For Good we will keep you online.

Not necessarily that you have to agree with everything that we believe in and follow.

Being tolerant of opposing views is the first requirement of having a democratic society.

IMO

For anyone interested in a virtual tour, here is some more equipment that we own outright in one of our primary data centers.



That is 100G router there.




Racking AMD EPYC servers -- check that spec out sometime:



Robust gear with talented engineering leadership.

Customers can also own their own gear in their own name, running on their own IP ranges, etc. One stop shop for digital resilience.

It is inevitable that you will need to lease hardware and network for any level of service. This is a non-issue. We also lease hardware directly from a data center. The point is giving a platform to hate sites.

That's quite the statement. And false actually. I beg to differ. You've got a cool thing going on but there are other options.

Why the disagreement Samer? I usually couldn't care less but fake news should be called out at all time.

CyberBunker would not have been impressed by these pics, or the things you're stating about "Network Routers and Border Gateway Protocol".

Agreed. It's not that easy in real life actually. I've been trying to reach out for semantics like this in various occasions but I guess he's been busy with things that actually matter

In another word: False Advertisement.
