Hello,
After our last host kicked us off, I began to look outside of the Americas for places to locate the server. Africa was too unstable, Europe was somehow worse than Africa (even countries like Iceland, which people hold up as being the freest places on Earth, have extraordinarily strict defamation laws that could easily dismantle a place like this), and Asia had many strict and bizarre laws that differ from place to place but are typically anti-pornographic and anti-speech. Considering we are ✔ sweary boys, ✔ sexual deviants, and ✔ loudmouths, that rules out basically every place on Earth and things began to look a bit dire.

However, a Chinese user who happens to be related to a few people higher up struck out an offer. We could host in Mainland China, if we:
- Allow our content to be used in Chinese 'public service announcements' regarding the decadence and imminent collapse of western civilization,
- Disallow anyone from China not on a government line from accessing the site, and
- Remove any statements from any user that would, quote: "threaten or criticize the territorial integrity &/or sovereignty of the People's Republic of China".
Welcome to Shenzhen.
