Even though I find it implausible that the owner of this site would share their real birthday / approximate age AND in the same post give a cautionary tale about cybersecurity, crazier things have happened!
Whatever you are doing this weekend, make it a good one. Thank you for your hard work keeping this place open.

Apparently, the mass string of DDos attacks on similar sites made Vistarrr want to keep the site up, because he was peeved that in the last moments of ATF being up it had also been hit with hundreds of ddos attacks. The notices he got about the server status annoyed him.
Vistarrr's quote:
"Since my announcement of retiring, other lolisho communities have been under attack.
There has been massive DDoS against ATF since last friday.
Where's the courtesy of letting me sunset the site in peace?
Fuck you then, I'm in for the long haul. Ride till I die!"
(in a later post he had replied to a question someone asked about him being sure it was ddos and not site scraping. thats when he mentioned the hundreds of alerts pissing him off, but im too lazy to copy/paste that too. so yeah.)
So it was essentially spite. Pure, unadulterated spite is keeping ATF alive.
Forced threads like this are ones we need too. Not just bad news *oops, site broke but we're on it* threads, but ones that just give good news and happy vibes about the site are great too. Not everything is doom and gloom. This thread actually made me happy.
Oh, and happy birthday to you, no shame of being post twenties or sub forty. I'm a few years shy of the big 4-0 myself and aside from all my joints, muscles, nerves, brain, organs hurting, its not too bad. (i take that back, i moved my hand from the keyboard to the mouse to post and my shoulder popped painfully. ow.)

Happy Birthday! As a person who has been living for six decades, I want to wish the most important thing in life - health! If you have health, then everything else will follow.

Yep normally against the frequent use of forced threads here but this is a good use of one IMO
I said the same at one point in time but use it rarely nowadays.Joke's on you, I don't have Discord
(Thank you for the Info)
With that forced ID shit that was delayed I'll probably use it a lot less.

Oh damn it has forced ID now? That sucks
I try to stay away from all social-media stuff, I don't like getting spammed and it feels unhealthy, since I deleted Whatsapp (my only source to social-media) I feel way more healthy, it feels like all that stuff drains your life.
Yeah it was already started in certain countries by law and the new Discord owners have delayed the implementation for a year worldwide after the negative feedback.

Worst part is that people just accept it (better said have no might to say anything against it), I kinda feel the internet will die out slowly due to all those dystopian surveilance-laws slowly but steadily
The free open internet dream that it was supposed to be has already died. It's all about controlling and getting your information nowadays.
Using the old tired bored excuse of please think of the children is just an excuse for a certain agenda.
