Orain is gone forever and without explanation!

Dusti is awol and won't respond to communication, even on his Wikipedia talk page. Even addshore hasn't heard from him for weeks! Rationalwiki says the entire database is lost and Orain is just gone for good! By the way, do you have an email address? You have all these social media spots but it's impossible to email you. Your blog "The Musings Of The Consensus" is on blogspot which is impossible to comment on because it's blogspot. You also haven't written an entry about Orain being suddenly gone forever without explanation. Addshore promises to but he tends to procrastinate.

Here is a repost of an explanation I left on Wikipediocracy:

Orain was compromised at not only the database level, they also gained access to our DigitalOcean and Cloudflare accounts, and they promptly set about burning everything to ashes and salting the earth just to make sure. The method of attack and the information received on how the attacker gained access implies a disgruntled former employee or someone who illegally obtained credential information was able to pull this off, and we have confirmed all data is gone, as in database tables were dropped, servers were wiped clean of data, nothing exists anymore. Our DNS settings were also redirected to porn sites and other nonsense locations.

Beyond that, I do not have any concrete information on what happened, but as an operational entity, Orain is basically dead in the ground.

Thankfully, some off server backups do exist of most of Orain's wikis (albeit a bit old on the order of a few months), and they are being reconstituted at the recent formed Miraheze service, created by John Lewis, former staff member/founder of Orain.

John can be conclusively crossed off the list of suspects as well. Law enforcement investigation back into our very first security leak which implicated John proved him innocent when it was discovered his credentials were used at times and in ways he would not have used them and his alibi was confirmed, and the most recent assault on Orain was done on services he had no role in whatsoever nor input to any degree, past or present.

I have my own personal speculation on who might be responsible, but since I have no hard evidence, it remains speculation only and as such I will not point fingers.

As for myself, I'm merely trying to get ATT reestablished on places other than Wikia again, hence why I accepted Miraheze's offer to bring us back up. I know nothing more about what Orain's fate will be at present and ask all further inquires be directed to Dusti Muniz, who has confirmed via other staff members this matter is under investigation with the appropriate authorities.

I have no other plans at this point other than to get ATT up and functional again in some capacity, and we do not expect to ever recover our original data again, nor do we plan to go back to Orain should they ever become a functional entity again.

I hope this helps, as I have no further information nor have been able to acquire more information on this matter myself. GethN7 (talk) 10:45, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find this on Wikipediocracy. Was this in one of their hidden subforums? Stoodpointt (talk) 20:12, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, their Off Topic board, which is members only. GethN7 (talk) 20:13, 22 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Nate Speed

Wow, he doesn't even try to hide that he's the one emailing/linking malware? Aoi (青い) (talk) 23:29, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Aoi:, no, he isn't. He's a mentally ill man with severe autism and anger issues, and to my knowledge lives with his parents because he's unable to take care of himself, and they essentially let the internet babysit him because he's a mess of issues. I find that sad and contemptible, as he clearly is in dire need of mental help. GethN7 (talk) 03:41, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like the Nate Spidgewood pandemic has now spread here at Wikipedia too - sad

Regarding my sockaccounts…

A few days ago, I posted a message on my on talk page explaining my sockpuppet accounts both here and on Commons. They may or may not be brought up by the Kiwi Farms as soon as possible. I unfortunately have a lot of matters relating to Wikipedia.

My block across the Fandom network is the cause of all the said sockaccounts I mentioned on my own talk page. I want someone like you to review and lift it as soon as possible. I do NOT want to vandalize Fandom. 2601:8D:8700:567C:7403:B039:8C9:A802 (talk) 14:49, 7 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
