Yesterday evening, our glorious leader @Sailfish came up with a great idea and potential solution for Josh's problems.
Kengle asked me to reach out to Josh with this idea to create a network of sites all dedicated to hosting KF's content, exactly as stated above; a decentralized network that would be harder or even impossible to take down completely.
Here is a copy of the email I sent Josh earlier today.
I wasn't expecting Josh to respond any other way; and I'm only sharing this with the site so everyone can see exactly where Josh's priorities are. He doesn't care about his content, he doesn't care about his site, he doesn't care about his userbase, and he really, ultimately doesn't care about the continued existence of the content on his site. He cares about his monopoly on lolcow culture. That is all he cares about.
Diversifying and creating a network of sites all hosting content FOR him is not enough; Josh would rather KF remain a monolith that can be chipped away at the knees until it falls permanently as the likelihood of more ISPs dropping him has increased from laughable to uncomfortably likely.
Here is Josh's response.
If we're such retards, why do we have a .com domain, a host who has let us stay up for years, a stable and growing userbase, and a site that stays online. Seems to me the only retard in the room is Josh who can't and won't let go of his position as overseer of his monopoly.

Dear Null. Kengle has come up with a potential solution for the Kiwi Crisis and a long term solution to preserve and protect the content currently hosted on KF. I know that you take a lot of pride in the site, community, and culture that you have cultivated over the last decade and change.
The decision of Zayo to drop you is not trivial. Everyone knows what it means when an ISP, not a host or company, decides to intervene; our solution is simple and I believe the only potential means to save, preserve, and protect the content you host and that is a quasi-federated network of sites on different ISPs with different hosts, all working together to decentralize the content you've hosted on KF for all these years
I know that A&H is a subsection of your site that you've wished you could have gotten rid of for a long time. Perhaps now you can. OnionFarms is willing to take the A&H board onto our site in addition to any other boards you'd be willing to let us host for you.
We have no terms or conditions, there are no hidden agendas, there is nothing here but the extension of friendship and solidarity and a desire to make it as difficult as possible for these degenerate NuTech faggots to take down content they don't like.
Quoted From Kengle:
I suggested this to my admin and he thinks it is a great idea. Liz Fong-Jones is banking on taking down the big giant kiwifarms and she has gotten Zayo to drop you. It is obvious she is committed to running Kiwifarms into the ground. But consider the alternative:
1st Step: Divest some of your categories and let splinter sites simply pick them up. In fact you should encourage them.
2nd Step: Rather than Kiwifarms being one monolithic forum, redefine Kiwifarms as a genre (a decentralized group of diverse interconnected forums, blogs and so forth). Basically an interconnected “Kiwiverse”. (No, I would not be the leader of this Kiwiverse.)
Now you may wonder what the advantage of this is:
In a manner of speaking Kiwifarms culture is very vulnerable because when you have one forum you have “all your eggs in one basket”. And let’s just be totally honest about this. You are being slowly strangled off the internet.
By contract, a decentralized and diverse cluster of interconnected forums and websites spread across multiple ISPs makes it practically impossible for a mentally ill person such as Liz Fong-Jones to take down.
I've directed my admin to email this to you but these are my words: Kengle
On behalf of the rest of the staff on Onionfarms, we look forward to hearing back from you and hope that we can implement this plan with you.
Thank you for your time
