Aaaaaaand it looks like Stormfront just crashed again. Not loading on three different browsers.

Stormfront is down, at least for me.  Was having trouble loading pages from yesterday evening.  The problem kept getting worse until now nothing loads.  After a few minutes of blank screen, the "Database Error" message appears.

Just checked again.  Now the DbE comes up immediately.

If anyone else can still get in, let me know.

Total crash, database error on all three browsers over here. Anybody got an approximate time for the onset?

I sure hope it's a sign that Don is back and tinkering with it.

I came over here fairly quickly after the pages stopped loading, so maybe around 11 am EST?

QuoteI sure hope it's a sign that Don is back and tinkering with it.

As I mentioned, this started yesterday evening, then got progressively worse.  It seemed like another DDoS attack the way it was acting.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.  Has Merlin been in touch with Don recently?

Just last night I posted to ask who'd been in co0ntact with Don most recently. Was hoping to see someone had chimed in by tonight.

Here's the error message, in case anyone more technically minded than myself can decipher any implications from it:

Both the 1953 movie Titanic and the 1958 documentary A Night To Remember mentioned that the Captain downplayed the warnings.  One of his reasons was wanting to set a new speed record for the Atlantic crossing.  Also his belief that the ship was unsinkable due to its then novel semi-watertight compartments.

Never saw the 90s version with DiCaprio... by choice.  The '53 movie was schmaltzy enough.  Oy vey!

Welcome to the Carpathia, er, I mean Aryan Guard. Why don't you register an account. The forum is much larger than you can see here posting as a guest. There are many subforums, including a subforum for Outer Space.

It took me seven months from the time I first posted as a guest on SF to the date I finally registered.  If a mod hadn't threatened to stop approving my posts I might never have joined.  Or it might have taken a few more years.

No one ever tbought of me as a "joiner".  Uncooperative, non-compliant dissident is more accurate.  My 17 years on SF represents my longest commitment to ANY non-family related endeavor.

Frankly I'm amazed I've stuck with it this long.  I must be getting old.   ;)

So anyway, if SF is kaput, I'll probably register here just to keep in touch.

This has been an invaluable resource.  I hope more Canadians become aware of it and help it become what you envisioned.

Are there any plans to make an announcement now that Stormfront is back up?

The time to write a last will and testament is when you are healthy and of sound mind, not when you're on your deathbed suffering from dementia.

The time to do the safety demonstration and point out the location of the lifeboats is when the ship is safely in port, not when it's already going down.

When Stormfront goes down for the last time, there will likely be no advanced warning signs. There will likely just be a database error, and then, a few days later, the site will redirect to the ADL website.

With Don and Merlin both back in action, such decisions are out of our hands, at least at the official level. We can exhort our comrades to join us here, on VNN and elsewhere. And as much as I hate Telegram, I guess I better recommend everybody get on that, as it seems to be where all the activists go these days.

Looking at all the people who have contributed large sums to Stormfront, it seems to me that we should be able to round up a team of people capable of creating a Stormfront Mark II if necessary. If/when I finally get my dang mortgage rolling, I'll have a better picture of my own finances; at that point I was/am planning to contribute more to Stormfront, but also might look into ways of beefing up this site, or even creating a new one.

Well, this website is intended for the Aryan Guard specifically; the other site would be a Stormfront II, a general site for all White nationalists in the event that we do end up losing Stormfront.

I'm assuming that thread is for SF mods only, because I don't have permission to access it.

In response to Jotunn's remark that all the activists are on Telegram, I must disagree.  The real activists are offline and out in the real world actually getting things done.  The whiners are online, as demonstrated by the pathetic replies in the Iran war thread and elsewhere.  After reading all that, I almost wish SF had never come back.

No criticism of varg or his efforts to keep VNN going was intended.  I was merely commenting on the relative quality and appearance of the new format in comparison to the old one.  As for becoming a member there, TBPH, I'm wondering how much longer I want to continue posting on SF.  The quality of contributors has fallen precipitously, and if you doubt my word, go back beyond nine-ten years and compare the forum then to what it is now.

Furthermore, my views continue to evolve (or regress, perhaps), and I find myself increasingly out-of-step with what passes for a consensus there.  But it's not my place, nor do I have any desire, to "go nuclear".  If the shoes no longer fit, buy new ones.

I am grateful for this site though.  When my time comes, if I'm able, I will drop a line here so that people will not have to wonder what became of "old Phoenix".

Stormfront is faltering again.  The last couple of days efforts to open pages have been timing out.  Just now I couldn't get anything to open so I came over here.  This is how it began last fall before the data base failed completely.

From what I was able to find out, DDOS attacks do not per se cause database corruption; they merely overload the system, causing it to crash. A SQL injection attack, on the other hand, can cause database corruption. That would involve including in a post things like a closing quote followed by DROP TALBE; if the database is poorly coded and does not guard against that.

These are the most common causes of database corruption, according to Microsoft:

Common Causes of SQL Server Database Corruption
Corruption usually originates outside of SQL Server, often in the I/O path. Below I list the main causes, ordered in terms of probability - the higher on the list, the more probable it is:
Title: Re: Stormfront Refugees
Post by: Captain Nemo on Mar 15, 2026, 07:13 AM
Question to Google: Can overload cause database corruption?

Google AI:

Yes, overloading a database can directly lead to data corruption
. When a database system is pushed beyond its capacity—due to excessive traffic, insufficient hardware resources, or unoptimized queries—it can fail in ways that damage the integrity of the stored data.
Here is how overload leads to corruption:

    Dirty/Abrupt Shutdowns: When an overloaded system becomes unresponsive, administrators or automated systems may force a shutdown. If this occurs while the database is writing to disk, it can lead to partial, incomplete writes, resulting in corrupted data files.

    Memory/CPU Exhaustion: An overwhelmed server might exhaust its available RAM or CPU. This can cause the database management system (DBMS) to crash, disrupting active transactions and potentially leaving the database in an inconsistent state.

    Storage Subsystem Overload (I/O Bottlenecks): High traffic can overload the disk subsystem, causing write operations to time out or be dropped, causing file system damage.

    Data Type/Buffer Overflows: If an overload causes too much data to be packed into a space smaller than it is designed to hold (e.g., in memory or specific columns), it can lead to memory corruption, overwriting neighboring data.

    Hardware Failure Under Load: Overloading a system creates high heat and puts stress on components like CPUs and hard drives, which can lead to premature hardware failure and consequent data corruption.

To prevent this, it is recommended to monitor resource usage, optimize SQL queries, and maintain regular backups.

I noticed that on the front page, one does not see the real last post in a subforum. Same thing when one enters a subforum, the topics don't show what is really the last post in a topic, but some previous posts.
This would suggest that the database has already been degraded, and the latest posts did not register in it.
It may be that the forum runs on a backup-ed version of the database right now, not containing the info about the latest posts.

It could also be that this type of really persistent attacks are the sign of an AI driven DDoS, which seems the be the trend in DDoS attacks.

Perhaps would a systematic verification of humanity for anybody accessing the Forum, or at least not already logged-in members help with the "guests" situation.

I know a forum that performs such a verification even for logged-in members, and even periodically while they are active on the forum.

This latest trouble seems to be a sustained DDOS attack. Visitors are constantly over 10,000 for teh last several times I've been able to log in. I hope Don Black sees Fluxmaster's advice about blocking the Asian IPs that seem to predominate in the attacks.

I've been on SF for about two hours or so and I haven't been timed out or even slowed down once.  Yet there are currently 10,577 "guests" online.

So Don apparently has done something.

In the good old days those four [Bleep], and they are [Bleep], not simply negroes or black people  (There is a difference although some might disagree.), would've been the guests of honor at a necktie party.

I hope Jotunn understands my important distinction.  I use the "enword" to describe a very specific type of negro.  In the 'hood they are commonly know as "[Bleep]".

I have fleshed out the original rules somewhat, and they include an injunction against epithets:

Aryan Guard Forum Rules (https://aryanguard.org/forum/index.php?topic=2.0)

Quote from: Jotunn on Mar 16, 2026, 10:58 AM
  •     Avoid derogatory epithets, racial and otherwise. Name-calling in general is a puerile trait, and not something I want to see proliferate on this forum.

Repeat of an earlier post:

I should like to make a few notes for any and all Stormfronters joining us on my humble forum:

Although this website is hosted in the United States of America, it is a Canada-centric forum for a Canadian pro-White organization. While the First Amendment to the American Constitution protects this forum from government censorship in America, nothing protects Canadians from the Canadian government's persecution of pro-White Canadian activists.

Thus, I would like to request that everyone be mindful of the tone of their conversation, and avoid using racial epithets, or anything that the Canadian government might deem "hateful". They already sent me to prison once in 2008 over what they called "hate speech". So I'm asking you to help me avoid a repeat of that situation.

It was a shocking experience. I'd lived most of my life believing we had freedom of speech in Canada; likely an illusion created by the large number of American books I'd read as a youth. So when this talk of "hate speech" laws began to emerge, and seemed geared towards material such as my early expressions of pro-White sentiment, I was expecting something like a phone call or a knock on the door from police to tell me something I'd said was crossing the line. Instead I get invaded in the morning by three cops who proceeded to toss my apartment and walk off with a significant portion of my worldly possessions - books, clothing, CDs, and a three thousand dollar computer. Then after a year of largely leaving me in the dark as to what's going on, they come an arrest me. Not once but several times, they'd arrest me in Alberta, ship me to British Columbia, then release me in British Columbia, forcing me to hitch-hike home, at least once in sub-zero weather - and let me tell you, not many motorists find a hitch-hiker in a balaclava very appealing.

I think in my early days as a White nationalist I was a bit more casual about politics. My experience with the Canadian legal system woke me up to the depths of corruption both in Canada and the world at large, and galvanized me into seeking to become the architect of a better world.
Title: Re: Stormfront Refugees
Post by: Phoenix on Mar 20, 2026, 04:15 AM
What's disheartening, but no longer surprising, is how law enforcement in our formerly White nations has gone from unabashedly pro-White to undeniably anti-White in just the space of my lifetime.  When I was young the police were the White man's friend, unless you were a real criminal or a troublemaker, not "politically incorrect".

I have many fun stories of local police run-ins with negro agitators at the height of the civil rights protests.  One of my favorites involved a paddy wagon running over the feet of a negro who refused to get out of the street when ordered to.  He was actually a classmate, and in a picture I saw of him many years later he was walking with the assistance of two canes. 

Ah, justice.

Unfortunately, VNN hasn't recovered from Alex Linder's death. Hopefully, Stormfront has a proper contingency plan. Both are running on fumes. :-\

I was trying to point out some problems that hopefully needed to get rectified, but didn't. Another poster was instigating many things against me in order to get others not to like me anymore, which ultimately got me banned.

Actually was able to make a post on SF, after getting a 520 "Unknown Error" and the usual Database Error".  Of course it didn't show up on any lists so no one will know about it unless they go to that thread.

I was then able to read a few posts in another thread before the forum reverted to total Database Error.

Don't think I'll bother again for a couple days.

If by "normally" you mean restricted to registered members only.  The "Bypassing the server busy" message is on continuously now.  Yet at the bottom of the page it says, "Currently Active Users:  21 members and 5250 guests".  How can that be if access is restricted to registered members only?  Shouldn't "guests" be 0?

Don may have finally "thrown in the towel" re these DDoS attacks.  The only sure way to stop them is to limit access to registered members.  We'll have to rely on people spreading the word on other sites and IRL, it seems.  Those who are serious can still register snd join us.

Kudos to Phoenix. I was always concerned that the day would come where Stormfront can only allow registered members. It looks like that day might have arrived. Unfortunately, it isn't 1996 anymore. Stormfront now faces the distinct possibility of either limiting itself to registered members, which would be tragic. Or, it could invest in the best modern software money can buy. Sadly, most members over there don't seem to be paying members.  :-*

I do anticipate many of them coming here and registering.  :)

When that happens, you can go to User Control Panel | Edit Options | Thread Display Options | Thread Display Mode and set it to Linear - Newest First. That will ensure that the most recent post always gets displayed.

As of 1;15 pm EDT, 4-23-26: 

Currently Active Users: 6765 (28 members and 6737 guests)

Looks as if the DDoS attack is now permanent, essentially taking Stormfront offline as an open and accessible source of information.

Which was precisely their objective.

I also think there's a slight uptick in new members registering and introducing themselves, very likely a consequence of the guests being shut out.

I'm getting a weird vibe off a few of them, but I'm trying to rein in my paranoia. We'll let the newbies prove themselves.

Slight mistake in the previous post...

VNN as an alternative could perhaps do, if its subforums' structure was not so, how should I say... horrible...

Compared to VNN, the way Stormfront is structured represents the apex of logical organization, not to mention the totally useless statistics in subforums and threads, while post are not even numbered...

Every time I open VNN, I think: "What is that crap? Who organized it that way?".

Aaaah...

I think varg chose the new forum software for VNN based on price. He's paying for everything himself, so he picked what he could afford. When it was run by Alex Linder, it used the exact same forum software as Stormfront.

I'm not talking about the software, but about the definition and organization of the subjects of the subforums and groups of subforums:

Showcase - The Problem - The solution - General Discussion - The Struggle - The Political solution - To Do - The Personal Solution - Our Culture - Loxist Culture - Clwnage, etc...

Endless list of non-intuitive, dispersed, messy, redundant subjects, that doesn't naturally and intuitively  orient and guide the potential poster or reader towards the right subforum, if there is one at all that is the right one. So one end up aimlessly wandering around.
Instead of a streamlined, focused and ergonomic subjects structure that helps orientation inside the forum, it's exactly the opposite.

I'm sure that one can get "used to" it, but I don't want to get used to stupidity.

And should I add, the hierarchy of it all is completely messed up, in the sense that things on different hierarchical levels are put on the same level, while some that are on different levels are put on the same level.

Back to Stormfront. If one would archive it, and use a new software, it may be perhaps more resistant, but the DDoS attacks would continue on the new one, just the same.

I don't know enough to evaluate how much it would improve things.

Stormfront's structure is not perfect but so much better than VNN+s

I never found the organization of VNN Forum to be much different from the organization of Stormfront, except that there were fewer subforums because it is a smaller forum, but to each his own.

SF is back up again, without the "registerd member bypassing the server busy" message.  Only around 1100 "guests" on at the moment, so I guess we'll see how long this lasts.

It would be nice if Don could tell us how he proposes to deal with this going forward, but perhaps he doesn't know himself.  Just keep patching till it can't be patched no more, then call it a day.
