To all the people here saying "well maybe Null should've just gave into their demands a little bit as a treat," you must be new here. I'll mention two names you probably aren't familiar with: Samuel Collingwood Smith ("Vordrak") and Donald Carlos Seoane ("Donny Long").
Who are they? Well, many years ago, these two spearheaded what was, at the time, the largest coordinated effort to take the site down. Vordrak did so via vexatious litigation and calling in fake terrorist threats, but didn't really get anywhere until allying with Donny. Donny, whom Null once described as a "maelstrom of drugs" with "no sense of exhaustion," got Null's mom fired from her job and relentlessly harassed his family, going as far as to track down members of his extended family whom he'd never even met. Null, not wanting them dealing with this bullshit, took the site down. That should've been that, but Donny didn't stop. Even though he got exactly what he wanted, he kept on doing what he was doing. Null promptly brought the site back.
The point of what I'm saying is that if you give these pieces of shit a millimeter, they'll take the length of the pacific ocean. You can cave to their demands and give them exactly what they want, but that isn't enough for them. They have to completely destroy you, and go scorched earth because they're psychotic bullies who are unironically evil.
