And if the person(s) responsible come after wherever ATT is next being hosted, then what might that suggest? I just thought I'd throw that out there.
Movig away from parties affliated with either is basically our only chance of keeping ourselves up without getting fired upon, as based on the information at hand, we're caught in the crossfire of some douche with a serious grudge against both entities.
Also, I CAN reveal we (ATT) were targeted for sure at both places, though we were just a target of oppurtunity to cripple both entities (we are the largest wiki either has ever hosted), but our mere existence is not the sole reason for us being targeted.
In short, as long as we carry associations with Miraheze or Orain, we have a bulleye on us.
Update: Plans to move are still on the table in the event we need to, but John just sent me some updates concerning Ramnode.
They are willing to dig in and help him on the DDoS issue so long as it doesn't result in damage to their infrastructure (this is just garden variety http request flooding nonsense, so that's not an issue), not to mention the attack vector has finally been localized. John is planning an alternate way to enf run around this idiot and render their plans for naught, but he's well aware that if we still keep going through this crap, we still plan to pick up stakes, and he plans to assist us in getting our data ported in that eventuality.
