Thank you for your support so far

It seems the site came back up again while I was asleep; Leaseweb found we were no longer being spammed with heavy traffic, and reconnected us.

Not forgetting that we are being threatened with another DDoS in a week’s time (by the same guy), I will say it is probably too early to be thanking people and bringing things to a close, but I don’t want the rest of this week to go by without any appreciation from us either.

On the list of people to thank:
houkouonchi, our top seeder, for his usual generosity.
Torrentfreak et al., for their well-written coverage of the incident.
TD-Owner,
Mordae,
marcan,
Gottaname,
windex,
and many others, for your touching offers of assistance. Fortunately, they are not needed just yet.
(If you’d prefer not to be mentioned here, just drop me a PM on Rizon.)

This list is not exhaustive; I’ll update it as soon as I get more names from the other staff members.

Leech/seed what you can for now, and keep your fingers crossed!

P. S. I’ve managed to get a lot of anime-watching done during this downtime. I hope you have been spending your time productively too 🙂

By the way, the sharper users might have noticed that a certain name has been removed from this blog (blog.bakabt.me, which is different from baka.applehomicide.com even though they look identical). This is something I did on my own after consultation with some people; personally I feel that as far as privacy goes I’m fine with giving out details of his online presence (email address(es), nicknames, skype/MSN/other online details), but when it comes to real names and addresses—that’s where I start feeling iffy.

While we were under duress, I had no issue with us putting up this info in order to save the site. Now that things are back to normal, I felt it is more prudent to remove it. It is not my place to ask other sites to remove information that had been made public (via us), but I hope they will do the same.

His details will be left up on baka.applehomicide.com. If nothing happens after a week I will remove them from posts and comments there as well.
