No wonder they weren't responding, I told them it would show a ban message. The fact we just linked forward shows we condone the content and now we look like fools to the server company and they may kick us out over it...

It's off now. Sorry man I tried to get approval from you for this.

I thought you asked for a link in the ban message, and that's what I did basically. Anyway, what's done is done, hopefully linode sees the ban message now

I asked for 2 things. I should have told you when I did the redirect. I assumed you would notice. Anyway fuck today and DMCA this is so sad.

Just got this:


Hello,

Thank you for diligently working on this to meet the deadline. Before we can consider this issue resolved, can you clarify what the "ban page" looks like and what it's supposed to communicate to your users? Also, can you explain how you're hosting the redirect to the new website (e.g. server config, DNS, etc.)?

Without definitive proof that no redirects are hosted on [server company], we cannot consider this issue resolved. With your clarification, we may have a better understanding to proceed with a resolution to this issue.

We look forward to hearing back from you. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Respectfully, [server company]


After getting this, I informed them we've fixed the ban message to be what was originally intended, and they're going to review it again and then hopefully we should be good.

Whoops I did sabotage it. And they do seem to care about the redirect. I guess I'll give up on that since the risk does not justify it.

Your heart was in the right place, thanks for trying.

Whew we finally got the OK from our server company that we've resolved the issue. They did say this:

Please note that any attempts to host this site under a different name or any substantially similar services on [server company]'s platform after receiving this ticket may result in your account being suspended or terminated.

So no URL forwarding ever again and we're good. Glad that is finally over.

Yeah. Thanks. Time just cut ties with ip2 completely. We did our best, but it's over now.

Still waiting to hear back again for almost two hours after I clarified that we've removed the redirect permanently...oof we're now officially past the 96 hour mark.

[–]magnora7 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

No worries, it's changed back and we still have 2 hours. Yeah today fucking sucks and the DMCA system is beyond broken, could not agree more
