An Explanation on Recent Site Outages

The past few weeks AP has faced an unprecedented number of challenges, and we feel it necessary to be transparent with our readership. First, American Partisan is more committed than ever to bringing you the very best content. We continue to provide you this content gratis, despite the ever-increasing overhead and personal cost that comes from running a site such as this in an overtly hostile political environment. Against all odds, you have made this one of the largest and fastest-growing independent sites on the hard right. However, that journey has not been without its setbacks.

The astronomic growth we experienced and rampant censorship necessitated the need for us to buy server space when we first started. Further growth meant larger and larger bandwidth requirements until it became imperative to have an entire server dedicated to AP. As our growth continued at an astronomical pace, so did the cyber attacks. Given the rapidly deteriorating political climate in the US and particularly in the electronic sphere, both domestic and international cyber attacks continue to increase in tempo and so do their attempts to take down the site. While some of it is likely random, there are also targeted attempts to silence us. It serves as further confirmation to us that we are a threat to the existing political order and those who are attempting a socialist color revolution.

What this means for you, the reader, as well as our many contributors is that we are in the midst of an information and propaganda war…and this is the front line. We will do everything possible to minimize disruptions, outages and disturbances. Despite that, a massive DDOS attack did take the site down for a brief period of time the month before the election, and we took it on the chin. The AP team came together and put in an ungodly amount of time and effort into getting the site back as quickly as we did. We have come back stronger, smarter and better prepared. The attacks will continue, but we will continue to get better and faster at mitigating and preventing them. You can knock AP down, run us off of Facebook, or ban us on Twitter and we will still be here. We will adapt, evolve and overcome to address these new threats and we will not stop. If any of us had wanted to take the easy way out, any one of us could be printing cash doing the same thing for the other side…or sit silently like so many. Yet here we are, with a quality and depth of readership that money cannot buy. We are proof that there is a new, more virulent, and infinitely more dangerous right wing than the Bill Kristol or Reason Magazine variety of milquetoast nothing men.

We would be remiss to not specifically thank our advertisers and Patreon supporters, many who have been here since the beginning, for the financial support. None of us here at AP are compensated for our work and that capital is essential to defraying the rocketing cost of fending off constant cyber attacks, providing ample bandwidth for the ever-increasing stream of readership and defraying the costs of this entire operation. You are the rare few that have put action to words and for that we thank you.

We at American Partisan would like to assure each and every one of you that despite the adversity, we will not be going anywhere. We will weather the storms and if you want a slick and cookie-cutter conservative experience then we regret to inform you that while we will try our best, it will not always be so. American Partisan is in a digital knife fight with the left, but it is a fight we will win. So to the brave souls that continue to support and read us, know that it is you that keep us going when we sit down and write after a twelve-hour day. To the leftists and Conservativesâ„¢…test the depth of our resolve and you just might drown.

Spread the love

    Keep at it fellas. I am afraid that this is only going to get worse, no matter the results of the election.

    • boss21 October 13, 2020 at 09:46

      Thanks for the yeoman effort. ‘Nothing men’ is a great term . We all know it will get worse but also more clear and simple.

      • johnyMac October 13, 2020 at 12:09

        Thank you boss 21.

        We got through that ugly weekend by keeping focused on the issue. We did not point fingers at anybody. Instead we strategized, set tasks, then executed on the “punch list”. It is all about teamwork. Hey, to fold means “they” win.

        Love reading you guys every morning; especially Matt’s non fiction articles.

  3. Alan Burquist October 13, 2020 at 08:32

    Good to see you back..

  4. spin gerhat October 13, 2020 at 08:37

    Thank you for all y’all do
    This afternoon I’ll be setting up an account to support this site. I currently support, V-Dare, Counter Currents, The Z man, Radio Free Redoubt & Laura Loomers run in Florida, NRA life member.
    I have Clair Wolfs and Kit Pérezes book on my night stand, should have gotten vetted before Kit left this AO.
    anyhow thanks again.

    • Patriotman October 13, 2020 at 08:54

      That is very kind of you. Honestly, the readership here gives us the extra energy to write. God Bless.

  5. Green Mountain Shooter October 13, 2020 at 08:39

    As I suspected. As NC Scout says “you know you’re over the target when you’re taking flak”. Thanks to all of you for the work you put into this site.

  6. Dan October 13, 2020 at 09:02

    Wondered what was going on. I can’t remember how I found this Site, but, it, and all you guys that run it, are the absolute BEST of anything I have run across. And, when is the next Episode of RadioContra?? I can’t get enough of it!

  7. Coyyote October 13, 2020 at 09:03

    This is a time for those of us who follow AP to belly up to the bar and make or increase our patroon support. As of this morning there are only 121 supporters. Support for a year can cost as little as the price of a box of 9mm ammo (last years price), but I encourage a bit more

    • Patriotman October 13, 2020 at 09:45

      Thank you so much for your kind words and your readership. The readers make it all worth it. God Bless brother.

    • Garry F. Owen, Trooper October 13, 2020 at 10:45

      Maybe I did it wrong, but when I subscribed through Patreon, I was unable to access any new content. One article from February 2020, and a handful of articles from 2 years ago. I’m ready to put my money down, and did for a short time, but I can get the original content I want and need directly from this website. I support others through Patreon, and get original content from them. I started to just go back and pick up again, but I wanted to let someone know why I had unsubscribed from Patreon. I’ll come alongside and help, but if I missed something, let me know.

      • johnyMac October 13, 2020 at 12:03

        Garry,
        first thank you for your Patreon support! Second, I sent you a PM to try and give you some advise on the subject. By the way…YOU ROCK!

        73 & God Bless

  8. Johnny Paratrooper October 13, 2020 at 09:10

    I noticed you didn’t post any Festive Fall Emo, Screamo, or Punk Rock.
    Also, I’m gonna find your Patreon and help you guys out.

  9. Truth-in-Tension October 13, 2020 at 09:51

    Thank you for your efforts. This is one of the best sites there is for gaining first hand knowledge on many practical subjects. The articles and the comments are all excellent.

    • johnyMac October 13, 2020 at 12:06

      Truth-in-Tension

      Thank you for the compliment. As was stated in our post on Site Outages, none of us make a dime from what we do. We do it because we have made a commitment to you guys and gals. As Hillary calls all of us, ‘a basket of Deplorables. I am honored to be in that basket with all of the AP readers.

  10. Knowledge Is Power October 13, 2020 at 10:47

    I’m happy to identify fire hydrants and motorcycle images to help combat the DDoS attacks, a small price to pay for the quality of content you produce. Thank you for everything the entire AP team does, this community is top notch.

    • johnyMac October 13, 2020 at 12:01

      LOL Knowledge for power.

      I do not mind the stupid captcha game but they have to make those pics for my old eyes. Thank you.

  11. Ben Harris October 13, 2020 at 11:21

    I absolutely enjoy your content and insight. Keep up the good work.

    • johnyMac October 13, 2020 at 12:00

      Thank you Ben Harris.

      As stated in the update of our site outages, we here at AP do not do it for the $$$$. We do it for you guys and gals out there. The Delorables. ;-)

      73 & God Bless

  12. brunop October 13, 2020 at 11:54

    Thank you, site owners and staff, for all the work and for fighting the good fight.

    I’m quadrupling my Patreon amount.

    • johnyMac October 13, 2020 at 11:58

      WOW brunop!

      Thank you. To be honest Thursday through Sunday sucked. We stayed focused on the task at hand and in the end won this battle. However, the war continues.

      73 & God Bless

  13. Bud Green October 13, 2020 at 12:49

    Thank you guys for your hard work and dedication to our country. You are true Patriots.

  14. rto-jerry October 13, 2020 at 13:10

    Nice to see the site back in operation!! AP is a must have, daily read along with the scriptures to energize daily for the battle at hand! Godspeed men!!

  15. Roave October 13, 2020 at 16:32

    Glad you’re back! Knew it was one or more attacks on this site that was the problem…but was starting to miss it :-) Hell, even my eight year old daughter was irked at the fact that you were under attack. I’m in the process of deprogramming Her – trying to undo what ‘they’ been putting in Her head for the last six years. Tough job now that we had to put Her in an all Left school, but at least this site gives a lot of AV to support me in said job.
    Disclaimer : I’m not American, nor do I live State side… . But as we all know, shit rolls down and as it is hitting the fan ‘ out there ‘, it is beginning to so ‘ out here ‘…west of the Hellhole. The Right won the election, but my country is since a week under Left/Libtard rule. Literally the minority ruling the majority – like they have done in some form or another since 1945 !!!
    Sadly I’m in no position to donate funds to this thorn-in-their-eye-site, but have been sending some of your writings to a like-minded friend of mine, an old Para, keeping Him from faling by the wayside.
    Used to have my finger in a few networks out here, but this Government preferred to let the Secret Service follow and map the Right, instead of the radical Muslims…we all know how that tuned out now do we… .

    73, watch your 6
    ON3KD out.

    • Jesse James October 13, 2020 at 21:10

      You teaching your daughter is worth more to me than any financial help from you, sir. It is an absolute necessity the next generation is not allowed to be mentally abused by leftism. Keep the faith, and if the fireworks start here in a month or so, enjoy the show and say a prayer.

  16. Dan October 13, 2020 at 21:35

    Is there a way to donate directly to support American Partisan and avoid the 5%-12% patreon takes? I don’t mind people earning money for services rendered but would just as soon send a check or money order or use Zelle or the like.

    • NC Scout October 13, 2020 at 21:40

      Send me an email.

  17. Badger October 13, 2020 at 21:48

    You have been on my “route” a couple times a day since inception. For sure most people don’t want to see how the sausage is made, just to eat it. But you all did an extraordinary job in cleanup & standing the site back up, from floor to masthead. I had to do that once with a rather massive email system in a former life. Well done. Your stuff ends up creating rabbit holes for travellers. Sometimes they’re thought holes, sometimes “spruce up the gear or training” type journeys. Mostly good.

    Keep pissin’ ’em off. As an old bass fishing mentor once told me, “if you’re not gettin’ snagged once in awhile you’re not fishin’ where the fish are.”

    Drive on y’all.

  18. vyt1az October 13, 2020 at 22:20

    This site was worth it even back in the “old” days when I had to refresh my Tor exit node 30x to get past Wordfence. Ah the good old days…

    I tried to support via Patreon but I guess they didn’t like the combo of VPN and Vanilla Visa.

    Maybe subscribestar.com is worth moving to since they’re supposedly friendlier to our side. In the mean time, I’ll have to become a cash sponsor.

    I’ve got more pages from this website saved than any other.

    A site like this, in our present age, is valuable
    and should always be regarded as such.
    For without the light of truth, men can lose their way…
    Patriots must support these brave warriors, and their
    site, in as many different ways as possible…I do.
    All freedom loving Patriots should do likewise.
    Failure to do so allows the enemies of Our Republic
    victory over righteousness…which Cannot be borne.
