      @redenchilada Cabal said the site was going to be shut down and to join ECH. ECH crashed and everypony joined ponysquare. Then Purple Tinker showed up and was all like "NO WAI" and now the site might not be shut down. They are discussing how to save the site now.

        @toksyuryel Hasn't @mrdragon offered to take financial responsibility multiple times? Or has that changed recently?

          @redenchilada I know that there was an offer to host on his hardware, but then today happened.

              @redenchilada The reason I told you to check @cabal's timeline... ugh, talking in circles. And what the buck is the GNAA, @toksyuryel?

                @chiefanchor I know that much, but how does it relate to mrdragon? I can't read context on my phone.

                  @redenchilada If only context were available on the phone... I'm just going to stop trying to explain, since I've gone and confused myself by this point, and trying to continue will only further confuse both of us,.

                @chiefanchor @redenchilada They are an infamous troll group that has been around for years. The acronym expands to a very NSFW phrase that I will not be typing out here on RDN. You should now have all the information you need to find out who they are.

                  @toksyuryel That doesn't really seem like a hugely good reason to say no to a 1:1 copying of the site to a new location, so long as access is controlled well enough.

                    @chiefanchor By access, I refer to administration/moderation, server control, and root.

                    @chiefanchor It's possible he didn't trust them enough to be able to defend again the attacks. I'm just taking shots in the dark here based on what's been said publicly. I know about as much as you do right now.

          @redenchilada That offer was never rescinded, Cabal just decided to ignore it claiming that the GNAA were targeting the site.
