Fakku playing dirty shouldn't surprise anyone.
Many of its higher ups such as Taneli "Daiz" Vatanen, Jacob Grady and YQII are part of the cartel which went out and declared support for
nyaa.si when it was just a few minutes old and since then been claiming to have nothing to do with it.
https://desuarchive.org/a/thread/157084131/#157084197The owner of
nyaa.si is a tripfag who puts malware in files that track people's IP and whereabouts when they click on her uploaded files on /f/. Who knows what she's tracking on
nyaa.si.
Before they launched
nyaa.si and promoted it in as many places as possible, they had manipulated Nyaa Torrents aka the real Nyaa to close his website because he didn't give Daiz and others from the cartel a higher position of power and they waited for the owner of Nyaapantsu to fall asleep to DDoS his site and initiate a smear campaign against him because Nyaapantsu was launched before
nyaa.si and it had so much traffic that people thought it was going to be the successor of Nyaa Torrents.
nyaa.si discourages uploading because it's only possible with an account which you have to beg for in its IRC and it bans you if it notices that you're hiding your real IP address, so uploading Fakku shit on it is sort of like putting the cart before the horse. Moreover,
nyaa.si helps Fakku with making profit by only letting the "trusted" role go to one Fakku uploader called rbot2000/Nephthys who is only uploading Fakku shit that's many years old and lying that giving money to Fakku will support artists.
Anidex and Mangadex are constantly hit by DDoS attacks and many other sorts of attacks. Those sites belong to a group called Doki which used to be part of the cartel but went separate ways which infuriated the cartel.
