Stormfront Refugees

[Huginn ok Muninn]

Nice place ya' got here.

Good thing! After 31 years, the Stormfront server is completely trashed this time, and through a different method than bot flooding.

It won't be back for a while. And it will be in a different form with new forum software, probably xenForo, rather than ancient vBulletin, though with a similar layout.

And, we hope, with a different point man as well.

Those of you with my mobile number can call to verify this is me.

Sorry to hear that, Don. Do you have a backup archived somewhere? It would be sad to lose all those posts.

I have a question for those in the know. Why does Stormfront need Google Analytics exactly?

I looked it up. It's for optimizing web performance.

Google Analytics is the go-to platform for millions of website and app owners seeking to gain a deeper understanding of their website and app performance. With Google Analytics, you can fine-tune your digital strategy, optimize your campaigns, and take your online presence to new heights.

Is there really any news as to what's going on with SF?  Seems like an awful long time to establish a website.  Is Don waiting for someone to volunteer to take the lead or are they just taking on a monumental effort somehow?

I try to access the site every once in a while.  It acts like the domain still exists as it tries to load but never does.

This is the latest information we have:

Has anyone heard from vikingcelt?

I'm surprised he hasn't joined here because I'm pretty sure he knew about it.

I'm starting to believe what Jotunn said about Don just throwing up his hands and just tired of the whole thing.

I'm starting to believe what Jotunn said about Don just throwing up his hands and just tired of the whole thing.

Just to be clear, I haven't said I think he's done that. What I have said is that no one could blame him if he made that choice. Operating Stormfront has undoubtedly been an often thankless task.

I hope SF can get back up sooner or later!
(I`ve been having trouble with the posting protocol hitherto, but I think I`ve managed it...

I definitely miss Stormfront. I'm a bit baffled that VNN hasn't picked up the traffic we used to carry on SF. I am guessing that people are leaning away from classic discussion forums and migrating to platforms like Discord and Telegram.

The announcement that VNNF was shutting down certainly didn't help.

The announcement that VNNF was shutting down certainly didn't help.

I completely forgot about that. Very likely a significant factor.

As I posted in another thread, I read that VNN was considered 'toxic' by many and I found it to be true myself.  Many former Stormfronters registered on VNN, posted a few times and quit posting...as I did.

I think you`ve hit the nail on the head; VNN has long had the reputation of a chaotic forum filled with trolls & all manner of idiots....

In the absence of Stormfront, and with Jotunn restricting who can post here, it is still the best alternative.
