btw, I thought I had bought killcops.com here on Namepros but I had to look it up to be sure. I think I paid $10.

Also bought QUICKBUNNY.COM, POKERBITCH.COM, and a couple others on the list.
And wow about the Hitler crap. This is turning into a witch hunt. The narrative is obvious. Paint Rob as a Nazi and destroy his image.
Epik has some major players of the Far Right like Gab. But as you pointed out about many Right Wing sites and domains they are not exclusively or even the majority registered at Epik. Also note that IT IS NOT ILLEGAL. There is absolutely nothing illegal happening.
Cancel culture working really hard today.
Yes, all fairly true. Massive screw up by Epik. I'm fairly sure they know that. A person could absolutely decide to leave their service and middle-finger them on the way out. Or a person could decide their value to them and choose to forgive expecting them to fix the problems. I don't see that as super desperate. Just willing to give Epik a chance at fixing this and moving forward hopefully stronger.
But that's where Epik goofed. You logged EVERYTHING and you should not have. I assume you know this now but realistically your site should never had needed 150GB of database or files. My site is 17 years old with 50m posts and millions of members. The whole thing is under 10GB archived. I prune what I don't need. I don't log what I don't need. I don't backup what I don't need. I'm gonna assume Rob made these choices and I hope the lesson he learns from all this is to find a competent CTO to make these choices.
I look at the whole Federated thing and I get it but I don't like it. I've seen these types of attempts at multi-system integrations before. I even tried it myself once. They tend to fail. It might sound easier to have one login but it ends up causing headaches. You're better off allowing social logins like Google, Twitter, and Facebook if you want that type of system. If I want a Bitmitigate account, then I'll sign up for that.
Then understand and respect that when you're a member of a community targeted by groups like Anonymous, SJW's or Marxists that people like Rob are brave as they are the few willing to stand up and help when nobody else will. It's impossible to be apolitical when your ideals and speech are being cancelled.
You just want the right to exist, maybe that's all other people want as well. You think it's okay to target people you don't agree with but you're not okay with people targeting you. There is a word for that, hypocrisy. You're here to be political and to smear Rob. I doubt you were ever an Epik customer so this has never personally effected you. I question your motives for participating here. I think you're gloating and want to do your best to spread the story and say whatever you can to hurt Rob and Epik because you have an agenda. Joining here just for that imho disqualifies you from participating in a manner befitting this community.
It's actually why I used Epik. Not because I agree with racists or extremists but because I know my domain is protected by someone that actually cares about free speech. As an American I've grown up believing in the Constitution. I continue to see its power being diminished by cancel culture and I don't like it. I'm not a racist, extremist, or whatever label. Just a guy that believes in liberty, not just mine but yours too. When I test on political spectrums I'm dead central. Just saying that believing someone who uses Epik is supporting racism or is a racist isn't accurate.
I think we all know who you are.
