I think it might be worth it to stop mirroring Anidex or at least have a blacklist that'd skip obvious porn uploads. As far as I know, Anidex has been abandoned by the owner and its mods and it's basically running on auto-pilot with hacked accounts constantly spam uploading illegal material. In my opinion, Anidex has become useless and it is not worth the extra trouble to keep mirroring from it, especially because of the nature of materials uploaded by the hacked accounts

No apologies necessary admin! It was those assholes uploading stuff they shouldnt have causing everyone grief. So happy AT is back in all its glory. Thank you for providing us with this invaluable service!
It's more or less what everyone suspected. I was unfortunately slow to see/react to the CSAM posts, which gave time for the registrar to notice it, and they immediately nuked the domain without notice.
found it by using the tor-rowser, if you go to a clearnet url like AT, if there is a .onion available, (i guess advertised by the clearnet site or linked in the site code somewhere, never looked into how it actually works) a field next to the url in the tor-browser will appear that will tell you that there is a .onion available and if you click on it it will open that page, then c'n'p the url into a txt file for future use :u
Just taking a moment to login and say thank you. Thank you admin, and thank you team! Thanks! Site is awesome and really provides a great service to the community! Keep on truckin' and keep up the great work ♥
> They won't do shit about piracy sites unless they get an Ontario court order
That's not how things works any more. Yesterday SCOTUS granted wide immunity to POTUS, so he can even nuke anybody for any reason or just for fun and won't be held to account until another superpower (China PRC?) grows strong enough to keelhaul POTUS to the ICJ in the Hague. That's still decades in the future as USA is the global hegemon, so Canada needs to watch out more! Also, as Hollywood invests ever more into anime, otaku piracy starts to hurt the pockets of those whom Mel Gibson despises and that tribe is very powerful politically and financially. A few years down the line anime pirates will likely be hunted by m0ssa6.
Thanks for the suggestion - I'll keep that in mind for next time. After a bunch of painful back-and-forth with the current registrar, I think I've managed to initiate a transfer; current issue (amongst several others) is that their approval system is broken.
Señor Tosho Man, the community misses you, there's been discussion about the whole DNS issues in other communities, I'm here to relay message " Seems like they were using Subreg (aka Gransy / Regtons) In general they're a decent non-US DMCA ignored domain registrar, but sometimes they do fuck up royally, like with ExtraTorrent and archive.today easyDNS is the best option for .org registration They won't do shit about piracy sites unless they get an Ontario court order I assume someone here knows the AnimeTosho operator, so feel free to pass on the easyDNS recommendation to him "
Unfortunately the registrar suspended the domain and deleted the management account. Dealing with them is frustrating, though they are at least (somewhat) cooperating with a transfer. I wouldn't be surprised if this takes days to resolve.
> there seem to be DNS issues with the animetosho.org domain. Looks like the domain is not currently delegated.
> Currently the only way access the site due to a hosts entry. Another option is to add master dns server of animetosho.org (ns.gransy.com) to your dns server config, in case of dnsmasq the line should look like: server=/animetosho.org/95.179.136.180
This will work for subdomains too.

Hi Admin,
there seem to be DNS issues with the animetosho.org domain. For "animetosho.org" i only get an empty reply, and for any subdomains (ex: storage.animetosho.org) I get non-existant domain responses. Tried from multiple source IPs of different ISPs and querying multiple external DNS servers, so I'm quite sure thats not a me problem.
Currently the only way access the site due to a hosts entry.
