There is also a meta level to this. The eye of Sauron is on this forum and its foibles, as there is an accepted petition for Writ of Certiorari before the United States Supreme Court from this webzone. A case manager has been assigned and the petition is docketed for reply and review. Part of that review will inevitably involve this. Imagine being Neil Gorsuch's clerk having to research this, and the most recent shenanigans you come across is the petitioner forcing a major web host to bend the knee for defamation.

Domain Registrars​

Epik domain registrations were bought out by Epik LLC, a mysterious Wyoming corporation with no transparent ownership structure. On December 12th, 2023, they seized kiwifarms.net without warning. However, they did eventually offer transfer codes after sufficient public complaining.

Months after, Epik began responding on Twitter to negative posts they had received for putting a clientHold on our domain. They lied and claimed they had received a law enforcement request to seize our domain. When confronted on this lie, they made a snippy remark: "I think you caught us. It was woke liberal employees here cancelling you because they didn't like the hate speech on your site." (archive, archive)

I didn't have to sign an NDA but the outstanding issue is resolved.

- They retract.
- They issue a business certified copy of the retraction.
- They help me reclaim a domain that would otherwise be lost for good.

Someone else hasn't been returning our certified mail and now with this retraction there is zero basis to their claims. Not retracting now is proof of actual malice. I'm not asking for much here.
I'm very glad to hear Epik capitulated to you. Lawfare might have been fun to observe, but it's probably the last thing we need needlessly. You have once again proven to us all that our faith in you has not been misplaced.

I'm glad to be doing whatever little I can to help, and others that helped by donations (or in any other way) should be glad too.
 
Aside from just getting the win, this seems really positive for the bigger picture. Epik could have soaked up a lot of the war chest in court but immediately backed down when credibly threatened. Greer's retarded hubris is taking care of itself and the court is losing patience with him. This leaves Hardin with a fat wallet to go whale hunting for Big Al and Thwomp.
