There is one guy allegedly from the Gülen movement on kereste (He often talks about it and I believe he did show some proof too, but I'd still take it with a grain of salt) that sometimes attacks the site, though it's unrelated to the actual movement. He is technically savvy enough to have caused us trouble in the past, but he didn't claim this attack was his so far which is a bit uncharacteristic for him.

Also Terrahost dropped kiwifarms in july 2023 after hosting them for 8 months, so I wanted it to known that they are simply not an imageboard friendly host anymore. There are cheaper alternatives that seem to be more suitable to host questionable websites like ours'.
