I have privately held suspicions regarding thedonald.win mods, I have shared this with the mod team at various times, some in the past week, some many many months ago.
Apparently, thedonald.win was registered to one mod, who has since left the mod team on TD. They said they would share the domain and did not. u/Doggos made a post a week ago telling you that if you are logged out of your account, use a fake password to see if it works as a security measure.
In the same post xir also said that nothing should change including the site domain. 1 week later the domain of thedonald.win was routed to the new patriots.win only to have the owner of the domain redirect it away from patriots.win... and per the post we were told not to trust it should this happen (it did).
I have wanted to know who is behind the win for many reasons, one curiosity, the other - who the fuck is running this place and why can't we know as we do know with other SM. TD mods have always kept other mods at a distance and in my opinion (rightly so) haven't addressed concerns mods had.
I do not know who runs the wins and I sure as fucking shit do NOT trust this high school drama. Some may notice I have been less active, it was due to what I believe was a doxxing incident. I do not know who attempted to do this, but I did have to consider that it could have been from the win as I have been openly disagreeable and critical (also rightly so).
I'd use caution and consider that this is some SHADY MOTHER FUCKIN' shit the day after a fake inauguration and CCP has taken over. I would consider using extreme caution, and worst case scenario that this is a FBI honeypot now.
Until the ^^^ can be rationally explained, consider the worst case scenario.
Thedonald.win will redirect to some site IDK (it will eventually propagate)
patriots.win is now the "new" site
If it looks like fuckery, walks like fuckery...it's fuckery.
"Today is a big day - after five years, The Donald has rebranded to Patriots.win"
DAY AFTER INAUGURATION - NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THIS GUYS! 👀 👀 👀 👀
An article that wasn't addressed by Doggos, because he wanted specific questions, when the specific questions was, would you care to address this:
TheDonald.Win has been identified by law enforcement and analysts as an important online staging platform for the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol that federal prosecutors are investigating as a seditious act and President-Elect Biden characterized as domestic terrorism.
From what I remember of Doggos post regarding hostile take over of the site, he said if you are automatically logged out, type in a fake password. If it works, the site is compromised. I do remember him saying that the name wouldn't change. I'm there pretty regularly and feel comfy with the site, but even my hackles are raised now. I popped over here to see if you guys had any trouble here, and what you thought about it. 2 mods are doing an AMA regarding the domain thing. Hopefully some answers will clear things up....or not.
I don't like it, but your fuckery statement is succinct and logical.
I've been reading it, and I have had suspicions for a long time. Do not trust it. They aren't fucking available to us and don't give a shit. They said it wouldn't change, it did. Doggos did all the programming but he and shadow allowed some low level mod to own it, for over a year? Anyone who sets these communities up even as mods would NEVER allow that...ever and they're veterans..
Yea I'm basically retarded when it comes to running sites and modding shit, so it'd be easy to quell my fears back in the day. But frankly I'm all fucking prickly about it. It's just weird. One guy owns the domain, the other half dozen mods do programming and random shit. Wouldn't you want part ownership of something you're kind of responsibile for? The ex mod was on Crigler, showed his face and name, he didn't seem worried that people knew who he was. Now all of sudden he jumped ship because he was afraid for his life? We ALL know what happens when you expose yourself on the net. It shouldn't be a surprise. I just find the jumping ship thing weird. Add to that, you say you have had difficulties with them. Something smells fucking fishy, and I just washed so it ain't me. Like I said, I don't know how this website stuff works but from the reaction, it sounds like it's abnormal.
We are the most controversial win, they NEVER gave us an announcement or any kind of support in ANY way, including CSS that they knew for this site, other win mods gave it to us and actively helped us, they ignored us.
They have announced ALL other wins while I continually asked and we weren't ever announced, why?
I met IRL a mod of T_D who told me these mods hate Gavin. Don't know if it is true or not, but I am and have been inclined to believe this from my experience. I have withheld sharing my massive distrust until today and you should all know I have been HIGHLY suspicious and with this happening I feel I should share that something isn't right and I have felt it isn't. A LOT isn't right...
