message: I've been trying to check protestwarrior.com for months (not sure if it's really months, to be honest) now in light of all the talk here. It seems to be offline. The only recent news I've been able to find doesn't hold any clues
Anyone know what this is? Have they just blocked non-US IPs? The Wikipedia page certainly doesn't give any clear indications that they've gone offline.

message: The Stalanist Purge by KIfer and Alan is in full swing, they don't even have the integrity to address the topic to their sycophatic minions on PW (like they ever DID care about the 'unwashed masses' who they always took so little interest in1 LOL !), and the smart PW's are deserting!

"his banning craze must be what Allen meant when, a few months ago, he said (and I summarize): 
“OMFG!!! WE ARE PLANNING SOMETHING SO SUPER SECRET AND COOL YOU WON’T BELIEVE TEH AWESOMENESS UNTIL YOU SEE IT!!!!!!” 
Well congratulations fuckwits, you’ve turned this place into a run-of-the-mill, bann-happy shithole like most other online forums. 
So let me take this opportunity to say I’m out-a-here. This is my 1000th post, and may my post count remain 1000 forever. It is also my birthday and I’m giving myself back the time I used to spend here. 
Please do me a favor and google “die gedanken sind frei”—it’s the song in my sig. Learn its history and its meaning and maybe you will understand why I will not endure this arbitrary censorship.

replies: text: NBGPWS, the discussion page of this article is not the appropriate place to rant. I remind you that Wikipedia is not a soapbox, or a blog, or whatever. This page is for discussion of the article, not ranting about Protest Warrior or making personal attacks. --Kuzaar-T-C- 13:10, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

text: Kuzaar is right. In addition to the mention of WP:NOT, the "purges" have been reversed. The people who were banned are mostly unbanned. --Neverborn 22:37, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Purge underway! Pretend Warriors leaving Stalinist PW in DROVES

message: User:NBGPWS added a subsection to the Website section regarding its traffic count.  I don't think a decrease, or increase for that matter, on the number of hits on the organization's website is notable.  If it was shutdown entirely or suddenly became one of the top 10 (or even 50) I would say, "okay, that's notable."  Is this change reported anywhere else but in this article?

replies: text: If it were 5% or 10% I would agree but these declines ARE notable : "During the most recent period, the Traffic Rank dropped 89,915 places, Reach dropped 24%, and Page Views dropped 46%." By the way, it's not an 'article' - it's Alexa.com - the accepted industry-standard traffic stats site. NBGPWS 21:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you are mistaken but I'm not going to edit it out.  If you had some support to your conclusion that this decline reflected some other decline in popularity/activity, I'd agree entirely.  Btw,  I'm sorry I wasn't more clear, the "article" I was referring to was Protest Warrior's wikipedia entry.  I was asking if this decline in their website traffic had been reported as notable anywhere else.  My guess is no. Lawyer2b 22:31, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
