[Raion]

The majority of unreliability has been extremely transient, since 2019 we've really had very little downtime overall. Certainly less than some major sites, or on ancilary services, mostly for files.

> I don't know why it would matter at all about prior criminal history, you don't physically interact with anyone, you're not chatting personally with people, nor are you talking about people. You put out technical updates and opinions on troubleshooting...wow, so scandalous.

I mean, it does and doesn't, but I'm not a criminal is the point, and there's a person whose under a bad faith attempt to convince people I'm a criminal with no regard for others, which is false. Some of the things they posted could have only been gained from them basically stalking me, which unnerved me slightly. That's some rent-free obsession, for sure.

I think integrity matters, to be fair. Being an urbexer is hardly a crime in the US of note. "Oh I got arrested for looking around in an abandoned factory and not bolting from the cops in time." is that really what someone wants to claim is so noteworthy? (I have never actually been arrested in my life, granted). It's also in other parts of the world legal/decriminalized, including a lot of Europe. If you're unarmed, clearly not causing a disturbance and compliant then the cops will shrug and escort you off with a slap, and send you on your way. Or in China, where I did it (Ghost cities) you can literally just pass 500 RMB to a cop and he'll pretend he didn't see you.

> Don't for one second feel bad about your success and your work, you're building on it, it can only get better. I also don't think you've made this site "all about you". We know you're the owner/operator. But it's ran in a fair way, decorated in a neutral manner, and doesn't silence people.

The majority of the "Raion is a prick with eyeballs for testicles and his name should not be mentioned" comes from our discord we had, which was a shitshow, but I mean it was a place that ultimately just got out of hand due to being advertised on /g/ (4chan tech board) and also just attracting the wrong crowd. If people actually gave you the full story, it was intended as a "shoot the shit" place, nothing more, People kept rioting and forcing my hands with it. I learned my lesson though. Live discussions are for the moronic.
