Bummed to hear about Internet Archive got attacked, there are lots of complete series uploads in there.
>>22885346The archives themselves should be fine thankfully.
watching Bazooka Izumi
>>22885346The owner said on twitter that all the data is safe and that they're updating their security now, should take them couple of days from what he said
>>22885346Never rely on the internet for storage.
>>22885225It didn't "just die", because I have all the toku pinned, and watch the page numbers. It was also not in the 4chan archive, which is good for 3 days.
>>22885551Physical drive can be broken too.
Anyone ripping recently released stuff by Discotek?
>>22885717yeah what do you want?
>>22885711Yes, no one's trying to suggest otherwise. Don't throw them around or drop them in water. The few externals that I've had fail, gave more than enough warnings, that I didn't lose data. Once they're shown to have some problems, replace them.Unless you're just trying to pretend like they're commonly failing.The difference between the cloud and your personal storage, is that you have control over your personal storage(outside of the cloud storage companies scanning your files for whatever they can learn). Cloud is useful for temporary storage, or sharing with others far away from you, but don't rely on it for your own long term storage.
>>22885720Not that anon but did their Cutie Honey The Live ever got ripped? The TV-Nihon one has very bad video quality and I want to see the Inoue interview.
>>22886089https://nyaa.si/view/1821090What's wrong with that link?

>>22886942Zeiram is so fucking great.Infinitely underrated.
>>22886942Damn, you're going straight into Zeiram 2. I remember loving the into so much. The whole idea of them trying to control Zeiram, and Iria having to kill Zeiram once the plan backfires.I love the visuals of that entire scene.
Colorized this.
>>22887107Oh right, the mangaka did a second adaptation of Barom 1 that’s based on toei’s show What if doruge disguised as Mr ruge sent an assasination request to “you know who” in a desperate attempt to kill his nemesis?
>>22885720NTA but is there a Bullet Train one that's not a million GB and in a fuckass format?
>>22887341No this is from Takeshi Koshiro's manga of the Toei show which ran in Bouken-Oh, Saitou did do a 2-shot based on the Toei show but it's never been reprinted.Also I decided it looked better if the suit's highlights didn't match the background, I dunno if that's "correct" from a lighting perspective but it pops out better.

"wing-man" subs are up on cat site
https://tl-skeweds.blogspot.com/2024/10/wingman-2024-jdrama-ep01.html
>>22891137Based "Thinking About The Roman Empire" writer.
>>22891137The first episode was pretty fun and a bit exciting at the end, I hope the rest will be good too. How many episodes is it supposed to get?
Holy shit! After 10,000 years i've finally found it!
>>22892837Damn, this is really ancient. It's crazy to see how far we've come when looking at this today.
>>22895328NTA but if you, or any other anon, tell me what should be updated in regards to which subs are done I could update it.
>>22895829I think all or almost all of these shows are fully translated nowadays, not sure about the non-toei shows at the bottom. Guyferd and Changerion are subbed for sure
>>22892837Heard of this from past threads, glad you found it. Since then I believe most if not all have been translated
>>22895833>>22896023I think the Tack shows still need finishing? Other than that, yeah everything here is subbed to completion. Shit Lady Battle Cop even got updated subs.>>22895829basically all of these got subbed so it's a matter of figuring out who did what, etc. Also should mention a few like the Space Sheriff trilogy shows have western blu ray releases now.
>>22885346Some good news and bad news. Good news, the site is back up, “bad news” is that the video player still isn’t entirely working yet but seems like they are working on it as the main site is accessible once more
Thoughts on Sukeban Deka? I really liked the series, wish they made more of it. My thoughs on the three seasons (spoilers):1st Asamiya Saki has very poor fighting choreography but decent drama acting skills. Lack of sidekicks holds her character development back too much. First season has boring villains except that sister who uses a rifle, she's fine.2nd Saki (Godai Yoko) is apparently fan favorite. Much better choreography but mediocre acting. She compensates her acting skills with her innocent looks and mannerisms though. Sidekicks add a lot to the characters development. Main villain arc is decent even though the dude looks like a fag. Nishiwaki-san (Saki's mentor) is cool.3rd Saki (Asuka Yui) is my personal favorite for the character development that she has through the show. Third season is underrated overall and even disliked by Sukeban Deka manga author but fuck his opinion because live action Sukeban Deka is much better than his manga. Imo the season is as good as the second one but it's too much ninja action and too little everyday school stuff towards the end. Yoda/Hannya is a big downgrade from Nishiwaki, the dude can't act. Sisters/sidekicks are the best in the whole series though.
>>22901454Also watched both 80s films and they somehow are more silly than the TV show due to the pacing issues (like crying over a fallen comrade and then acting like nothing happened a minute later) and overall everyone is acting more reckless, stupid and one-dimensional, including the villains. If the show is solid 8.5-9 on the scale of retro toku dramas, then the films are around 6.5.
>>22885089>Stuff archived from Hi no Tori Subs (See the paste for Mitsurugi and Andro Melos, KRDL for Wecker and Bereke Scrubs for remastered Tekkouki Mikazuki)Former OP anon here; sorry everyone it seems like I failed to log in to Mega with enough regularity to avoid them deleting my stuff, so this folder is gone now. Thankfully a lot of the Pastebin folders were things I'd put on Google Drive instead, but all of the Mega links there will now also be deadIf anyone wants to take over and reanimate the corpse of the Pastebin then please, please do - otherwise I'll try to find time to at least prune the dead links at some point.Til next time, /otg/friends

I'm on vacation in Mexico, which has helped to remind me of the fact that luchadors are fucking awesome, & they count as toku because they're masked heroes who frequently fight monsters.
>>22903779And then the best of both was created through this combination, kinnikuman
>>22903895Imagine if there was a Kinnikuman toku
>>22903987Hard to recreate a lot of the fights thanks to their design. Unless you CGI, but then is that even Toku anymore
>>22903779Fun fact, El Brave was born when the dude that plays him realized his skills as a wrestler translated perfectly to being a local hero, and Shuraomaru is a WWE nerd.
>>22903987Kinnikuman toku isHe was in the last episode of this one.
>>22903779I wanna check out some luchador movies, y'all got any recs?
>>22900492Alright so the website is back up for real but the video player is still not working entirely, seems like they’re fixing it next

The first three episodes are tweaked versions of the /m/sub releases but the remaining two are TL'ed from scratch by .@yumehinata_subs>Check the link for more info.Maybe our conversations were seen by them?
>>22907716Hopefully they or someone else will do Joneus while they're at it! Probably once the blu-ray comes out.

Wingman 2nd episode today.
Man. Wing-Man sure was a perverted show back then.
>>22913713They chose the right director for the live action.
Sound:>>>/wsg/5720784
Just found out about Mach Baron and its bodacious OP. This shit is wild.
>>22914592The actual show itself is something else, saw it RAW however besides episode one with the subtitles the OP you just heard represents what the fights are like and the episodic format, the ED however represents the rest of the show’s tone, you’ll find out soon enough once you go through it
>>22914332I will now watch your show.
>>22885559So must have been deleted by mods for bullshit reasons. What a terrible start.>>22885089Ah, K-tai Investigator 7. Knew someone would put it front and center someday.
>>22915045>So must have been deleted by mods for bullshit reasonsI covered that here: >>22885090>Ah, K-tai Investigator 7. Knew someone would put it front and center someday.I wanted an /otg/ thread, and after waiting a day or so for someone else to make one, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I couldn't think of a good coomer screenshot that wouldn't run the risk of getting the thread deleted.So I scrolled through my toku HDD, and looked for a show that no one had made an OP about. Lately, most of the /otg/ OP pictures are from toku that was made from before we were born. So I chose KI7, to have something more recent.
>>22914702Much of the show outside of mecha fights seems like it's an organization showing off how cool and wacky their tech is to the kids.
>>22915592For now, it is quite silly early on, HOWEVER
Me at work with my costume.
>>22915971& just like when I was Robot Detective K last year I had to carry this card around so no one would have to ask.
>>22915971>>22915991Pretty good Moon Knight costume.
For anyone who got the new Shaider BD, is Hasbro or eOne mentioned anywhere in the copyright info?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0g6-clZfXU
Bump.
>>22915971>>22915991Very late but that’s neat
Where is everyone?
>>22920055Dunno what to talk about, Wingman 2nd episode subs still not out.
>>22920055/otg/ is always the slowest moving toku general. If there's no new subs getting released then there can be stretches where a few anons will occasionally bump the thread from dying.Shin Dogengers has no raws/subs, Wingman has no subs, and it's been a month since geo released subs from Mahou Shoujo Chuuka na Paipa.We don't have a show that gets a regular release, like /krg/, /ssg/, or /m78/ to regularly be discussing. It'll still be awhile before we get a new Garo show.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhaFoUcGKr0
>>22920404This board in general has gotten a lot slower for whatever reason, last post was 13 minutes ago
>>22920787Well ok besides the general’s that have already reached their bump limit
>>22920787>has gotten a lot slower for whatever reason,Because the new posting timer is fucking retarded.
Apparently Garo Hagane's soundtrack came out a while back and I completely missed it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkDuCY-ZYWc
>>22921016But I thought it didn’t affect users that were not new to the website
>>22921342It affects everyone but pass users and bots.
>>22920787Have you seen how shitty 90% of this board is? Open any thread at any point in the day and it's just samefagging shitposters. I figure most of the good posters have long fucked off.
>>22921380Outside of toku, there's barely any new mecha. Most of the threads on /m/, outside of toku, are nostalgiashit and arguing about nostalgiashit.
>>22921386Theres literally nothing wrong with this board being a bunch of nostalgia shit (we have /vr/ for fuck's sake) but the problem is that 85% of threads are just faggots purely dedicated to ruining the board.
>>22921392>/vr/They're constantly talking about stuff though. That's way more of an active board. It also has very clear cutoffs for what can and can't be talked about, so there's not endless "not /vr/" bitching. /vr/ is also getting ~700 more posts/day when compared to /m/.Even with new /m/ anime being made, most of the threads on /m/ are the same old. On /vr/, you'll be able to talk about a lot more variety to things, because it covers so many games./m/ could be re-absorbed into /a/ since there's not much being contained anymore, and only /toku/ would have to find a different board, like /jp/ or /tv/(probably /jp/ would be the best fit).
>>22921380>>22921409Fellas, I know this board will have activity again and some anons might be on break, but this general is one of JUSTICE. No pouting
>>22921649https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs5-8SMFPZQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRvTi86m4v4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elbkRgIwxbA
>>22921342It only affects new people and retards switching ips (AKA ban evaders).
>>22916228Can confirm that there is no mention of Hasbro/eOne/whoever, unlike the Super Sentai DVDs. Looks like they really did have to license absolutely nothing from Hasbro.
Gavan Cameo in Wingman Episode 4 preview:https://x.com/TokuRed/status/1853832501594333501
>>22922406Say wingman, did I ever tell you about the space squad?
>>22922406Judging from the preview it's just an attraction show watched by the Kenta and the girl.
>>22888357Did he get a copyright strike?
>>22921659Man, that aggressive zoom thing is such a staple of old tokusatsu.
>>22888357>>22922982I got a few copyright strikes in the past, but I mostly avoided Toei anything after that.More of an unfortunate combo of personal stuff + getting hacked (the site itself, the video files and such are fine). I still have control over it now with changed logins and 2FA added, but whoever did it possibly made some unwanted changes I wasn't sure about. Because it's hosted on the free Wordpress, I couldn't restore it to a previous image, and neither did I keep a local backup prior to that around. To be honest, I didn't really think too much about security practices before that, at all. Awful admin practices.While possible to restore some portions like the release pages or Youtube links fully as they were, a lot of individual posts would have to be redone from scratch. Which is possible, but a pretty big task that's a little too much for me now. And Archive getting pwnd recently wasn't too encouraging, either.Toei is the only real legal risk, I'm not so much worried about some obscure VHS labels. Others just take down links at max. Although, some known to be DMCA-friendly like GIGA are also better avoided. The site got popular enough to receive some claims, tho. It's all not so motivating rn.So, for the time being, it's private for reasons.
>>22922196The day we finally get Metalder is the day I cheer>>22923665That's fair. Hopefully you find a way to come back because you legit have some gems.
Episode 2 sub is out. Not on cat site, but the subber's twitter page.
>>22923665You're a credit to the community. Even if you're done public releases.
Another story arc of the recently late but undoubtedly great Kazuo Umezu's Ultraman in the bag!https://mangadex.org/title/3115a8a6-fbec-4896-af3d-e6495b6bc755/kazuo-umezu-s-ultraman
>>22923714Metalder’s probably the next one I want the most too.
Is Tokusatsu Gagaga worth watching?I liked Blue Blazes and Kaiju Club a lot, is it anything like that?
>>22929041It doesn't have the same "crazy comedy" like Blue Blazes but I feel it's still funny enough. Blue Blazes was directed by Yuichi Fukuda who also did Hero Yoshihiko so the comedy went over the top, but Gagaga felt a bit realistic.
>>22929041I tried watching Gagaga but it's too wholesome and nothing happens
>>22929041>is it anything like that?No, it's good.
>>22929041It is absolutely worth watching and I want more seasons. Minor spoilers but whatever, it's a great scene.
>>22921649And would you look at that, there’s activity again.
anyone have a download for kousoku esper / lightspeed esper i have been looking for it for forever but none of the torrents are seeded
>>22929650It WAS on Mega & Archive. WAS.If it's any consolation here's Leiji Matsumoto's manga version. (which isn't an adaption of the show)https://archive.org/details/matsumotoesper
Did the guy that subbed Barom One finish all the episodes?
>>22929788Not that I recall. Watched the rest of it raw (last subbed episode IIRC was FINGAH) but I kinda understood what was going on even without subtitles, although one thing I wasn’t too sure about was the ending wherever they revealed that doruge was an alien organ all along or not like the manga although barom 1 does throw the bop at something that might have severed his immortality or something idk subtitles would’ve helped
Any good recent midnight tokusatsu that isn't Garo ?

>>22930702is it just me or are the insiders raws worse quality than magicstar
>>22930801yeah there's way more compression on the insider raws, are those the only raws avaible?
>>22930702Do we know how long Wingman is going to be? It strikes me as a six, maybe a ten episode run. Twelve tops.
>>22930882Can be 10 but definitely not over 12.Since this is more of a late night drama than Saturday/Sunday morning tokusatsu I expected each episode's runtime can go about 45 minutes like The High School Heroes.
>>22930882https://tokusatsu.fandom.com/wiki/WingmanThat says 10 episodes. I haven't found anything else that says a number of episodes, so take that wiki number with a grain of salt.
>>22930882>>22930905my drama list also shows 10eps
I nearly forgot to mention, I scanned this Barom-1 manga, based on the TV version, not to be confused with the original.https://archive.org/details/barom1tvmanga
>>22933533
>>22933533>>22933540So I guess the Beetleborgs will show up at some point too.
>>22933533>>22933540VR Trooper Bros we're going home.
>>22930801Better RAW for e3 was uploaded, along with e4.
>>22933533>>22933540I wonder why they changed the design, either the artist just want their own interpretation or Hasbro don't have the Metalder & Spielvan rights anymore?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBHd7ztB3BQ
>>22933865you mean the wingman tx raws? I guess they're a bit better than insidersx
>>22933533>>22933540Well that’s certainly a surprise. However to answer >>22933932 questions it’s because hasbro doesn’t own the rights to metalder & spielban, in fact they never had the rights to begin with so the author created his own legally distinct interpretation of the VR troopers so at the very least they won’t be forgotten while discotek can release the original shows on Blu ray. Honestly it’s a win win
>>22935647I did ask the guys on Twitter I found footage of the movie from if they were willing to share it, neither responded, & I obviously don't wanna hound them about it, so yeah I'm kinda stuck there.OK there WAS one reply to my tweet asking one of them, but I wasn't able to see it in time because it was either deleted or Twitter hid it for whatever reason.
No idea of this was already public information, but Shinji Higuchi wrote in his food blog that his Netflix Bullet Train remake is coming out in spring next year. >I've been working on the movie "Bullet Train Explosion," which is scheduled to be released on Netflix next spring.The movie is based on the 1975 Toei film of the same name, but set in the present day.>You'll have to guess the content from the strong title, but that's exactly what you'd take at face value. The story is set on a Shinkansen line, so rather than just focusing on the food situation around the infrastructure of a film studio, I was hoping to be able to introduce some variety in the food on set in this series, albeit in a sneaky way.>However, if I were to introduce the tastes of the future, it would give away which line the story will be set on, so I can't write about it yet.>So I'd like you to wait a little longer.

stop necroing this thread
>>22937690I posted something I felt was relevant to the thread, I didn't matter what page it was on.Should I have let it die and waited for a new one? What difference would that make?
>>22937700Don't reply to the mentally ill.
>>22937700Don't worry about retards from other message boards, trying to enforce their rules here. It's some newfag that clearly isn't aware of 4chan's or /m/'s culture.We have an anon in this thread, that did a literal BUMP post, which was a good thing.Two weeks ago, we had a conversation about /otg/ being the slowest toku general.It sometimes involves obvious and not-so-obvious bumping. There's utility in keeping /otg/ active during the slow posting times, so when there's actual discussion to be had, we have a thread./otg/ is pinned on my end, so whenever it hits page 10, I BUMP it back up, in not-so-obvious ways.You did good, don't listen to that fag.To the other anon that's trying to control /otg/'s culture, that doesn't deserve a (You): End yourself, newfag. Go back, if you refuse to end yourself.
magicstar released raws for ep3 and 4 of wingman, torrents on cat site
>>22939324are skewed's softsubs have the same timing as the magicstar raws?
>>22939595he has sub versions for the tx and insidersx raws so I don't know, haven't checked yet which version has the same timingsa quick check shows that somehow insidersx raws are about 40 seconds longer while tx raws have a similar runtime so they should work better, maybe some small timing correction will be needed
>>22939605forgot to mention that he has versions for ep 1 and 2 so maybe he will update the timings to magicstar version on ep3, we're still waiting for ep4 subs so ig they should have magicstar timings when they get released
>>22935647I SAW footage of this on some JP toku history video that was going over moonlight mask, he was duel welding just like his other creations, I was really trying hard to actually find more info on this but looks like I finally know who he is
>>22939595>>22939608Episode 3's sub file got updated to a folder with the subs for both MagicStar and InsiderX so going forward you probably have to check beforehand.
On Douyin,the Chinese version of TikTok, I found this one page with Mandarin hardsubs for NEARLY EVERY TOKU EVER MADE, & I bring this up for the fact that for some of the more obscure shows, like say Rainbowman or Triple Fighter, these Mandarin hardsubs use WAY higher quality raws than what's available on the western internet. But I can't find the softsubs or the raws because they seem to be buried under at least 500 billion layers of Chinese internet region locking. Like during the eyecatch for Rainbowman a site was mentioned, & when I went there you couldn't search or interact with anything at all unless you had an account, which ITSELF seemed to be invite-only, meaning you needed a confirmation code BEFORE submitting the information.

The first and last of them were based on V3 and OG respectively and got released theatrically in Germany somehow, which is how we have hd versions of them now.This one was only released in other territories and based on Kamen Rider X.Afaik we only have some pretty shitty vhs rips, so a proper scan would be pretty cool, even if the colors are fucked beyond saving.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9GbHO1nRRs
>>22940835Worth mentioning, the German prints of the other 2 movies are HEAVILY abridged, I remember there being much longer but lower quality French & Korean prints.
>>22937686First teaser trailer/title reveal for Shinji Higuchi's Bullet Train remake.They're going with "Bullet Train Explosion" for the international title it seems, which is a more direct translation of 新幹線大爆破.Probably a good move, considering the Brad Pitt movie called Bullet Train came out only 2 years ago and is on Netflix in some territories.https://youtu.be/oZyyJWdqinU?si=eruMlERpet3fpO-K
>>22941326Woah I actually didn't know that. I've only ever seen the German cut, you telling me there's a actually coherent version?Is there some place where all this info is written down? I can't find anything about a french version
>>22942141Here's the French cut of the movie based on the OG series.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwx4HsRuMEEWhich is STILL missing a whole scene which can be found in this Korean cut.https://archive.org/details/5-01_2024021Here are the Korean cuts of the V3 & X movies.https://archive.org/details/5-02_20240216https://archive.org/details/5-01_20240825& Taiwanese cuts of all 3 movies, in series order (mind the massive cut in the first one)https://archive.org/details/super-ridershttps://archive.org/details/the-super-rider-v-3-pal-h-264-pcmhttps://archive.org/details/super-riders-5

>>22942159Oh, and I'd be remiss to not mention just one more version of the OG series' Super Riders movie.An English fandub I made almost entirely by myself when I was 19, spliced between the HD German cut & VHS French cut, consequently it's missing the scene that was only in the Korean cut which I didn't know existed at the time, I did literally every male voice (except singing the intro), & I non-hyperbolically did not know what sound mixing was.Watch at your own peril.https://archive.org/details/BOTKR1976
>>22942159The best kind of autism. Thanks a lot! I'll contrast and compare with the German versions when I get home.These movies are such a fun little oddity, I've always been enticed by them and I'm glad to see there's people that care about them. >>22942163Don't worry, I shot a shitty Super 8 fan film based on these movies a few years ago, we can be embarrassed together.
someone made a batch of wingman 1-4 with softsubs included from magicstar rawshttps://nyaa.si/view/1901410
>>22942159There was a missing scene? Timeframe? I’m really curious as to what was cut from that French vhs release, also they really didn’t have to go hard on that warning screen lol
>>22942445In the French version there's a noticeably jarring cut at 1:11:07.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwx4HsRuMEEA cut that isn't in the Korean version at 1:02:45, leading to an extended version of the proceeding scene.https://archive.org/details/5-01_2024021
>>22942178>I shot a shitty Super 8 fan film based on these movies a few years agoDo tell.
>>22942787I wonder why the german versions are the only ones we have proper scans/blu-ray releases of. I knew these movies had somewhat of a cult following here, but I always felt it was way smaller than the fandom for Godzilla for example. And practically no tokusatsu afterwards ever really hit it big here until power rangers.Sorta off-topic but a tv program here called "The worst movies of all time" (basically a german equivalent to MST3k but more akin to Joe Bob Briggs, since they don't talk during the movies) recently did The Super Riders V3, which was a lot of fun. Pic. related
>>22942855Get this, Ambassador Hell is almost entirely cut out of the German version of the first series' movie...... for some reason.
>>22942789It was only really 'based on' it as far as I used a yellow scarf for the costume and called them Super Riders instead of Kamen Riders. I would've called it "Shin Frankensteins Kung-Fu Monster" (that's the German title for the V3 movie) because the main Kaijin that was fought was the one from the German poster from that movie, which never actually appears in it. (Pic. rel)(I just put a friend in a gorilla suit and gave him a new Ichigo helmet)We only show a few minutes of an action scene on Super 8 and then delayed further shooting because the seasons changed and the surrounding are suddenly looked different and wouldn't match the already shot footage anymore.I wanted to finish it, but university got in the way and now it's been so long I'd feel embarrassed to ask the people that were involved.Maybe I'll finish it at some point, working on it was a lot of fun, we spent a good month and a half just for pre-production. We 3d printed the helmets and Henshin belt for the Rider costume and parts of the costume for the Schocker (German for Shocker, as it was meant to be the German branch) combatmen.The Shocker commander was a Kaijin named "Bis-shark" (Bismarck + Shark). His head was a recreation of Minsk Mask from Daicon Films' Aikoku Sentai Dainippon and he had a red stripe on the bottom and wore a coat to differentiate.
>>22942943Just found an image of Bis-shark from the shoot
>>22942943>>22943112You done any other indie toku stuff? I've always wanted to make movies, thing is it requires, y'know, other people, & all the other people in my irl don't even have enough free time to have lunch with me let alone shoot a movie, because they're swamped with these things called "commitments" 24/7/365 as a result of a terrible affliction doctors call, "being a grown-ass adult".
>>22943155>You done any other indie toku stuff?Nah, this was my first stab at it. I have a very minor background in video production stuff through what I study and I've made a shitty short film before. It's a lot of work, but feels pretty rewarding.Getting people to help you with your shitty embarassing little movie ideas is the hardest part, especially when you need to have like 5-10 people on location at the same time.But when you get it to happen and you get together, it's a lot of fun!
Update regarding the website situation. It's possible the site was breached through either something like malicious ads, or hidden code injected within one of the site's themes and plugins. In that case, a simple visit with Javascript enabled and no adblock could've been enough. While sites like Virustotal didn't show anything, a Chinese website checker flagged it for possible malware. I've been advised not to use Wordpress again because it's considered a security nightmare frequently targeted by exploits. There are also current news reports about millions of WP sites being affected or at active breaching risk. If you visited it before the shutdown and with JS active, I would encourage a malware check. I'm yet unsure of future steps, but Wordpress is definitely not among them. It attracts a lot of bad actors. I'm not a cybersecurity expert, so dealing with it personally is too much of a pain in the ass for me. *All past releases are available through either Archive, Youtube or Telegram, and while not as easy to shift through, no material has been actually lost.
