Title: If Gox has domain(s) seized, is forum protected?

Guessing we could just use 109.201.133.65

Has this been thought about? I don't clearly remember the connection between Gox & the BTCTalk domain name.

We used to be hosted by MtGox, but we've since outgrown that and are now hosted by Private Internet Access. Everything else is also distributed: The domain is held by sirius, who has no admin powers here, and the site is administrated by theymos, who has no direct access to the domain. All of this is besides the fact that an encrypted database is distributed daily to several staff members here which can be restored by various big names in bitcoin, including Satoshi. If any one person goes rogue, it will be a minor inconvenience. If it's more than that, at the very least no data will be lost, even if a whole new forum staff has to be brought in. So yes, we're totally fine.
