The fact that you’re here, on .tv, suggests that you already know what went down. But just in case you’re unaware, I will provide a brief overview of why the domain changed and will take some time to get back to.
—
Namecheap is our registrar. Basically you don’t actually own a domain name, you just rent it. That’s not technically correct, but functionally speaking it is. So we were renting watchpeopledie.co from namecheap.
Namecheap hosts all sorts of bad stuff, from Nazis to gore and beyond. It should have been fine. But they took particular issue with us and gave us 10 hours to remove the offending content.
Originally they said we were hosting piracy stuff. After trying to find out what they meant (clock ticking all the while), they finally said, hours later, “oops sorry, we meant the death stuff. You can’t do that. Take it down, hurry hurry, tick tock.”
So we tried to transfer to Epik.
Namecheap wouldn’t let us, said Epik was screwing it up.
In a hurry, we tried to transfer to GoDaddy instead.
Same thing, Namecheap claims GoDaddy is screwing it up.
Hours of troubleshooting later, they’re finally like “oh right oops, we did that lol. Also the 10 hours we gave you no longer counts. You’re not allowed to transfer and we’re terminating you immediately.”
This is the company that gave, per the CEO Richard Kirkendall, war criminals a 7 day grace period to transfer out.
—
We also sent out an email blast to everyone with a registered email, which I assume you’ve seen by now, since you’re in this thread.
If you’ve wisely skipped all of this and just scrolled to the bottom, here’s your fresh content:
Our old registrar, Namecheap, decided to terminate service with us with no warning and they are adamantly and arbitrarily refusing to let us transfer to a new registrar before November 8th. They have lied repeatedly to us and treated us terribly, and are now holding our domain hostage for what are undeniably vindictive, horseshit reasons. We are no longer using Namecheap for any of our enterprises and we strongly advise not using them for any reason whatsoever. They even refuse to allow us to put a static splash page up at the old domain, directing people here.
This is a morally reprehensible, ethically bankrupt company with negative value customer support who flat out lie to clients about service issues.
The one positive thing that can be said of this is that it gave us the kick in the ass necessary to ditch Namecheap entirely. We are now 100% served by honest service providers with robust free speech protections who will not proactively screw us over for letting people post what they want. This is a major setback, but a temporary one.
Please do what you can and pass the new URL along to any other users of the site you know of.
I am profoundly sorry for yet another inconvenience leveled at trampling the rights of consenting, adult users to peruse entirely legal content of their choosing. The tech industry does not believe you should have these rights, and that they alone should be the arbiters of what is acceptable speech, imagery, and even thoughts. Titanic companies commanding tens of billions of dollars like Namecheap, Heroku, Twitter, Reddit, et al. continue to do everything in their power - and it is immense power that they wield - to wholly suppress everything from political viewpoints, religious belief, science, and even recreational activities that the worthless busybodies they employ find disagreeable.
We are small with a paltry 50,000 users. We are growing. Other entities are growing as well, along with the ever-mounting discontent with this surreal repressive hellscape being imposed by bluehaired, evolutionary dead ends in certain pockets of the coastal United States. It is frustrating to be a user of a site like this at a time like this - you just want to watch shocking videos of people dying from the safety of your home - and you likely don’t care about any of this nonsense. And that’s entirely fine too, because you shouldn’t have to care about this stupid shit just to use the internet that you pay for to consume entirely legal content that you seek out. If you do have the time and the energy, though, this is absolutely something that should infuriate and frighten you.
tl;dr I am sorry again for the inconvenience. We are back on .tv for now, and we will be back on .co in about three weeks. .tv will remain as a working URL for the same site, so feel free to update your bookmarks.
I love you.
xoxo clitpeeler 💋

This is just an inconvenience to someone like me, yet it has unfortunately become a major headache, and many days of extra work for the devs and admin team. You all have been put to the test a few times now and you keep fighting the censors and haters when you never had to, but wanted to. Thank you to the people who work so hard to keep this site alive

It is EXHAUSTING and also incredibly illuminating. Long gone are the days of everyone reciting “well it’s okay, tech companies just remove Nazi stuff, we can all agree that Nazis are bad so let’s just turn a blind eye to it?” The list of memory holeable concepts grows with each passing day.

I don't know if this is possible, but could you send a message to those who have verified their e-mail about the new URL?
Perhaps you have already thought of that or it's not feasible, but figured I would throw that out there as a way to direct people here.
Jump in the discussion.

We did! Unfortunately, with the URL being brand new and no access to our old one at this time, we are limited to 100 emails an hour. To account for new registrations and password reset emails, we are doing 2,000 per day. Of the 53,000 accounts, around 12,000 have registered emails. So everyone will be notified in six days or less.

That is exactly how I felt! There was such a void in my life the past week or so when it vanished - google searches even filtered by past 24h/week etc yielded no results I figured it was gone.
Today I tried to search through bing and immediately found a reddit post saying it switched to .tv ... Fuck google.

The issue comes down to the domain name registrar. It doesn’t matter how much you want to make a free-speech-only site if no registrar will give you a domain.

May I suggest:
Setting up an off-site communication channel so people can get updates when this shit happens again. For example a Telegram channel.
Setting up a Tor .onion mirror, which is impossible to take down even if the domain registrar takes away your clearnet domain.
Both are very easy and quickly to set up.
