sorry, geral, the fbi didn't do it.
the clowns running pdx imc have been battling aging code for the last 5 to 10 years. ever since mike tabor aka joe anybody and his creepy kboo goons and alt-right 911 conspiratards drove the antifa out of the imc they've been left to their own devices and it's not pretty. a couple links to what happened in the last year

trust us, the fbi knows better than anyone these were sad scenster losers, long since irrelevant.
but never fear! its just possible whoever owns indymedia.org will cut a deal with the alt-right losers who drove pdx into the ground and give it a zombie revival!
Welp, looks like whoever is running the Portland newswire sold enough plasma to keep it on life support for another couple weeks.

There's a big gap in posts/comments from July 22 to Aug 11th and I suspect some of the recent "articles" are bullshit posts by the "bees" running the wire to make it look not as dead as it is?
But the really strange thing is no article even addressing the blackout(s). You know, like a REAL media organization as opposed to a group of scenster zombie domain squatters with no lives.
Actually they do address it. At least the latest outage:

We had some heat exhaustion on computers running the site that us down for a few days. It is all cool now. Weather blows, but we keep going. "
LOLWUT? The computers were "heat exhausted"?
Note the post doesn't allow comments or feedback so no one can call out this donkeyshit. Servers are always in a temperature controlled area unless they're complete idiots. The real problem as has been mentioned is the shitass ancient code. That will break again and sooner rather than later. Then what will the excuse be?
