[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 4158989, member: 1"] I use cloudflare for security on all of my websites, including this one. 8chan must have used cloudflare for hosting. I don't blame them for dropping that domain. Bad publicity. There are a gazillion other hosting companies in many different countries that will gladly accept 8chan's money.
