Downtime

[Akuma]

Hetzner, our hosting provider, very inappropriately took down our server again because they didn't like the contents on thehandprints . I told them point blank they were in the wrong and to put our server back up, and they did so without even responding to me. Frankly, if they weren't in Germany, they would be in law suit territory at this point.

I just want to assure our userbase that I will never allow animeotk.com and our sister sites to go down permanently. There may come the day though where our hosting provider permanently shuts us down out of some malformed sense of justice, and if that day comes, we'll have to find a new hosting service.

The money situation is not looking good at the moment, as we had to leave Patreon in January, and the jerks at subscribe star never even RESPONDED to my two attempts to create an account and contact them. So I'll be posting more information on donations routes soon. If we do have to move servers at some point, it will be costly and preparing for that possible day is something I should be doing for our sites.

Oh no that’s not good i’m sorry about the situation you had

I’m really sorry to hear about the troubles with Hetzner and the challenges you're facing with hosting and funding. It's frustrating when providers act unfairly or fail to communicate effectively. I deeply appreciate all the hard work you’re doing to keep the site running despite these obstacles—it’s clear how much dedication you have for the community.

Have you considered alternative hosting providers that might be more supportive of the site’s content? Perhaps reaching out to a hosting service specializing in freedom of expression might be helpful.
