I've been snooping around trying to find out where the cockroaches are spreading and I stumbled across a thread on 8chan's /loli/ board (yeah...) discussing the shutdown of ATF. Most users seem more worried about archiving the content, but there are a couple of suggested sites: AyakaMods, Roriwalrus, and an Onion site called Lolicon Heaven. Roriwalrus is locked and requires an account to view anything, and even with an account it seems to require some previous participation before the content is visible. And as for "Lolicon Heaven", I'm not really planning on visiting a Lolicon website on Tor nor will encourage anyone to do so.
AyakaMods, on the other hand, is a more worrying matter. It's a forum that hosts and discusses porn games and mods (among other stuff). Normally this wouldn't be a problem if the site weren't aimed at users as young as 13 years old.
I'll give credit where credit is due; even someone from ATF had enough brain cells to point out how awful of an idea it is to send literal pedophiles to a place where children are allowed.
I saw a Stardew Valley thread while wasting my time on /v/ today. It had the only underage girl from the game as its pic, and knowing there's a pedo mod about her passed around by anons and shared across sites, I took a peek at it. Of course it was filled with anons crying over ATF, and few very proudly signalling rejects, some even infighting as to who's the truer lolicon. Farms even got a shoutout as a factor in their favorite site getting shut down. They're feeling really hurt, but that's neither here nor there.
While this isn't the topic of this thread, I'll leave just this one message:
As for why I'm posting this in this thread. I saw two new (I think, since they did not come up in my search through this thread) previously unmentioned sites: "Azkosel's Corner", which only directs me to LewdCorner, and "schildli", whatever that is.
Granted, I'm completely shit at following breadcrumbs when I'm not motivated for it, and doing so with the incentive of finding whatever is shared there isn't one. I'm just passing this on in case it might come in handy somehow. Feel free to call me a retard if that's not the case and I should lurk more.
In case anyone's interested in seeing the thread, here it is https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/734169587/
Mods were obviously very late to 404'ing it, and only did so after pics of the SV kid started being posted.
DuckDuckGo has no problem finding the site, although it's locked behind an account, just like Roriwalrus.
This is the first thing you see when visiting the site;
"Censorship is le bad for our lolisho Groomcord server!". I would normally agree that censorship is bullshit, but in this particular case you and your disgusting Discord server can go to hell.
A jannie on the booru dropped an interesting post;
I'm really curious to know what's going on in that forum post. I'd invite anyone with an account to post screenshots, but I doubt anyone would be willing to admit to visiting a website like that...
Not surprising for someone that wanted to wait out months to shut down a website. Now the real question is, will JohnMolotov have the balls to dump the site data and user/staff info?

All this drama seems so petty and retarded that I wonder if it's even real. Shouldn't he be focusing on protecting the privacy of his users instead of defying some random ddos? The funniest thing is that the same users who will be exposed will probably be the first to celebrate ATF's "return".
The announcement on the Booru has been updated once again.
As for the forum, the registration is still closed, but there's a new user who registered. On the side of the forum, there's this 'Forum statistics' thing, the most recent user 'GwenDoveLol' registered yesterday.
All of this seems to indicate that ATF isn't shutting down. Still, this is just speculation, there's nothing official yet.
No word about the mass doxing coercion that instigated all of this in first place? I'm going to assume that was already resolved privately if nothing further comes of it.
Or there never was any real threat to begin with and this was actually a massive grift that backfired horribly for Roriwalrus in particular, in which case lol lmao.

Nothing concrete so far. There's a lot of secrecy surrounding the blackmail topic, and nothing has surfaced since the initial announcement. I also think that it was either fake or it had already been resolved behind the scenes; in any case, they are taking their time to make their final decision public.
Anyways, regardless of what happens, ATF won't disappear; it'll either continue business as usual or simply rebrand. Some people offered to host them, so all this suspense is just a small setback.
