What are we supposed to make out of it then? He has to show up to explain things because otherwise, we somehow have to find the way to pay for Saidit ourselves...

Somehow he is paying for it successfully, but only after the site goes down for a while and someone notices. I wish I knew more too. I don't have access to the billing/payments shit and m7 is not communicating with me or anyone else that I'm aware of.

Facepalm. Let's just hope he eventually shows up then. I just hope he has a good excuse for it...

I'm pretty sure that he mentioned someone in his family being sick. Hang in there m7 and m7 family.

His mom had surgery. I hope she's doing better.

I mean that does kind of feel sus.. he has time to pay for the community but not time to just say “wassup busy rn hope all is well, will be back”.

This reminds me of the end of the original Voat. I know magnora has irl stuff going on, I just wish he wouldn’t make people paranoid and feel like they need an explanation.

He doesn't owe anyone an explanation.

Look, Server Daddy is very busy and he’ll get to the bill when he gets to it

I think it's a recurring billing issue, because the downtimes happen a month apart from each other (4/22, 5/19, 6/21). He said the automatic payment got rejected last time, so possibly he has to then pay it manually and the site is down in the meantime (but this is conjecture).

I may have had an interaction with m7. I posted a link to Incantation (my own forum) on /r/saiditnet and it got removed while m7 is the only moderator of that subreddit. At the same time, it could've been removed automatically, since my LarrySwinger Reddit account is new and still in moderation. Incantation is hosted as a hidden service, so especially the onion link may have triggered the moderation.

No a lot of links are blacklisted from reddit now and automatically removed

No, but it might be that any .onion link automatically triggers moderation.

Edit: oh, and also, I was doing it behind a VPN, that may have something to do with it as well.

Credit card billing is every 28 days and recurring donations are usually set up monthly, so that may explain a 5 day gap in service. Maybe the account balance is too low to keep the server up until the donations come in.

I don't think it's a low balance. He said the hosting company had refused his payment for no apparent reason.
