Russia Defense .net forum shut down by hosting company

[Rodion Romanovic]

Kal El and Arrow, thank you both for the welcome.

P.S. my username is just the name and patronymic (a sort of second name made by the father's name followed by a specific ending (ovic/evic for male and ovna/evna for female)) of the protagonist of Dostoyevsky's novel Crime and Punishment, Rodion Romanovic Raskolnikov

Welcome all to PDF

Welcome, Rodion—another castaway from RDF. GarryB is going to try to revive the forum in some form.

It’s a shame that all that relevant data from the forum has been deleted. There was a lot of good discussion on the RDF that could have been saved.

It’s a great shame. The Forumotion admin ruined everything, too. The forum used to bring together users who contributed substantive, high-quality content. I doubt Garry can salvage anything; without the forum archive and a way to reach the users, nothing can be recovered. It’s hard to believe that just two people managed to destroy thousands of fascinating discussions—effectively wiping out the best forum of its kind on the internet, one that had existed for 15 years. So much is happening right now, yet there’s nowhere left to even have a proper discussion. I don’t mean to offend anyone, but there is a vast gulf between RDF and PDF when it comes to threads about Russia and the war in Ukraine.

Thanks for your sincere intentions, but unfortunately, we don’t have contact details for the rest of the RDF participants, so there’s no way to get them to join.

A psychopath cherry picked every bad word or indiscretion written on a 15 year old forum and reported it to the hosting service until the hosting service shut the forum down.

Bingo, I'd give that man a cigar except its bad for peoples health

I don't want to discuss the situation in public anymore.

Of course you don't. You don't want other forum members knowing what you did and how many people you harmed.

If you had kept quiet and not gloated publically regarding how it was you that stabbed the RDF community in the back and robbed us of our little safe-space, then you would have gotten away with what you did and the matter would have not been an issue. Like most self-righteous moral woke-warriors however you just couldn't resist adding your insult to our injury.

Karma won't be denied.

Nawet nie zaczynam mówić o Biggazzie. Ten administrator Forumotion to też totalny psychopata. Zamiast zostawić kopię forum – albo zrobić coś podobnego, żeby przenieść je na inny serwer – zablokował i usunął wszystko. Tysiące dyskusji, analiz i tak dalej. Jakby czekał tylko na pretekst, żeby zniszczyć RDF.

The worst part, Biggazza, is that there isn't really an alternative to RDF
