Stormfront, the white supremacist forum that’s spread fear and hate across the internet for the past 22 years has disappeared.

The domain name stormfront.org was registered on January 11, 1995 and its registration wasn’t due to expire until early 2018, according to publicly available WHOIS data.

A Washington DC non-profit group calling themselves The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law has claimed responsibility for the websites disappearance, saying,

“Their website is a vehicle used to promote racially-motivated violence and hate… following our efforts, Network Solutions has pulled the site. We are working across the country to combat the spread of hate crimes.”

“We will continue to use every tool in our arsenal to disrupt vehicles used to promote and incite racial violence across our country… especially in the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville and the spike in hate crimes across the country, Stormfront crossed the line of permissible speech and incited and promoted violence.”

The domain registrar for stormfront.org, Network Solutions, has placed the domain name under hold, a rare status indicating the domain is involved in a legal dispute, or soon to be deleted.

Tata! 😀
