Russia Defense .net forum shut down by hosting company

So how many posts did you report to forumnation before they took it down ?

Approx. 15-17 severe violations, most of them from 2026. I still have written TOS reports on my PC but I (probably) cannot repost them here since it would violate this forum rules itself. DMs don't work for normal users so I cannot send them if someone is interested.

So you ruined 15 years of work from 2 people who spent all of their spare time running a forum over some bad words written on the internet. And then you searched online to see the damage it caused and found this thread. Psychopathic comes to mind. The admin are probably devastated.

The internet today is ruined by pathetic people.

Ignore list.

Nope, just wanted to discuss Iran and Ukraine elsewhere.

I was a member of russiadefence since 2015 and I filled my first complaint to Forumotion only in March 2026 so I definitely wasn't looking for reasons to bring that site down.

Forums get brought down for much less than what I reported, MP.net (a much larger forum than RDF ever was) was closed in 2015 for copyright violations regarding the military-related photos posted there and it was reborn as TheMess without the photos subforums.

I put you on ignore too. I said what I wanted to say in this thread and won't post about RDF unless a local invokes me.

I just messaged Biggazza the link to this thread and asked him if he has heard anything

Okay, let me know if you find anything out. Garry should bring the forum back online at a different address. He ought to have backups and such.
