So what happens when people continually push for subsaidits to be removed that they don't like, and the server company forces you to close down those too?

I don't think we have any other subs that violate their AUP in practice

I honestly have no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to servers and shit, but I was wondering; if a group of guys are passionate for something such as this and live in Europe, would it be possible if they were to just set up servers for this site specifically? I suppose you'd have to trust them first, but I reckon it'd make them unlikely to buckle under the pressure of crazy people, since they aren't a company with a reputation to uphold and understand the issue you're dealing with.

Yes it's possible, but they'd need to be outside the EU so GPDR doesn't apply. So like Swizerland, Norway, Iceland. And then we have to find a service that is stable enough to handle the DDOSes we regularly see. Then the cost has to be low enough to not be ridiculous.

I've yet to find anything that meets those 3 criteria.

Iceland, were they not the only country to kick out the bankers after 2008? I always admired that country and its people.
