Greetings. I am--or was--the OP. The "ADMIN." It's a waste of time to do this, but I must set the record straight.
I have been reflecting lately on whatever the fuck transpired about 1 1/2 months ago. I just decided yesterday to finally come back here and see the reactions--if any--to my shutting down of the server. Of course I wasn't disappointed.
Why did I shut down the server? Because I realized at length that, after all, it was indeed stupid. Everyone who had said that from the outset was correct (albeit not for the reasons they thought). So I shut down the server and immediately took my first shit in (I guess, according to the guy above who kept count) 10 days.
Obviously I understood that it was a stupid, dinky little site that just logged files containing blocks of text with timestamps. I wrote the entire thing, barring some little additions I made (more on this later), in about 1 to 2 hours. Shit it right out, configured a server, then configured an onion service. In less than a quarter of a day.
DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME: I am not calling myself intelligent for doing so. Any stupid fucker could come along and do the exact same thing. That's my point.
But in other ways, a lot of you had ALREADY misunderstood me. I am not a libertarian. I do not care about free speech; it's a bad idea. My point in making the site was not to peddle some idealistic nonsense like that. At the end of the day, libertarianism is an ideology that belongs to numbskulls who only want to be able to do drugs and have sex with dogs.
Here's total accountability: it was a stupid ploy to try to gather up a big enough following that I could have basically free advertising whenever I wanted to release something else, emphasis on stupid. But when people took it the wrong way, of course I pandered, and in my incessant pandering I got confused. The moment I shut the site down was the moment I realized this, and realized that I was only opening myself up to constantly get lit up when I said the wrong thing, and to be constantly lectured by people who--I'll say this--were certainly right about some things...but otherwise? The things they were right about were as people wearing life-jackets, stranded in a sea of incomprehensible, utter nonsense.
So of course, since it was a self-oriented venture, my biggest concern was my own 'sorry hide.' This is why rules were suddenly added--I didn't want to be responsible for pedophiles being able to communicate with each other or advertise their "services" (and honestly, to allow that on the pretext of "free speech" is complete insanity, full stop). This is why ads were added--I'm not going to run what is essentially meant to be a nursery for absolute suckers without concretely profiting from it. Finally, this is why captchas were added--I didn't want my computer, hard drive, Internet etc. to get fucked up (even if temporarily) from spam (the magnitude of which was essentially limitless), much less to draw attention from law enforcement, even if I was totally innocent (however, I might add, if I had allowed people to post links to CP, I would most assuredly NOT have appeared so). As far as the captcha taking 10 reloads to show up...it worked perfectly on several of my computers. I don't know what the problem was. I guess that's my fault; I should have done more research (a running theme), research which would have led me to find out there are other (very effective) captcha methods which I basically could have inserted invisibly without saying a word. But of course I didn't.
In the end, quite obviously, I failed miserably. But I had used an anonymizing network in doing so. All that stuff about Tor being the future of the Internet? Bullshit--I don't care about the Internet, or its future, insofar as it doesn't profit me. And now, I can make another service that is actually useful/well-made without carrying the reputational baggage from this around with me.
