AllTheFallen's shutdown explained by the site's owner.
TL;DR #1: Legal pressure, though not direct. Monetary costs reaching unsustainable levels. Site users getting out of hand. Vistarrr recommends keeping any new sites niche and thinking hard about what kind of community you want to foster.
TL;DR #2: Vistarrr was away from ATF so the site admins and mods made a backup. They reinstated a mod who was previously removed to help do this by way of adding a backdoor. Vistarrr returns and tells people that the backup is dangerous and is assured it has been deleted. Said mod lied about deleting it, is unhinged, and chimps out, threatening to leak the entire thing. Any ATF clones that pop up after the website shuts down are NOT to be trusted.
i wonder if it's just the forum, or all atf platforms
@ninja8tyu @cunny it's ATF as a whole, from what i understand. there may be some talks to have ownership of certain parts transferred to other people. i know some people were thinking that iratu, the owner of pomf.tv, might do a decent job hosting the booru since they were a mod (admin) for it in the past? but that's just copium i think 
even then, there would still be a lot of cleaning up to do.
i would download whatever you don't want to lose, though, absolutely.
wonder if youtube will allow nobeta in undergarments lol
