Moving a site from one domain to another is a couple days' work if that. Leaving it where it was, knowing the registration was going to be pulled, was lazy at best and malicious at worst.
I'm leaning towards the latter; any "based" social media network is probably just sandtrap to waste the time of anyone who's not an NPC and possibly gather evidence on anyone who wants to take any kind of action.
Of course it could also be motivated by a jewy kind of "well there's a market here..." line of thought.

> knowing the registration was going to be pulled
That's easier said than done. I suggested moving multiple times. The domain itself was still valid for 2 more years until it expired. Either someone triggered a legal dispute for invalid contact info or it's a "hate speech" takedown by NameCheap. We don't know. As I've said before, we don't have any contact with its owner.
Since a few months ago we've also lost all forms of direct communication with C (Scored's owner). All you can do now is make a post on Meta or DM him and hope he'll eventually respond 2 days later.
Also note that in any case, we would not be able to redirect people to a new domain directly (due to ownership issues). A sticky post on the front page is the most you'd be able to get.

Yes, indeed it does line up. Rdrama is taking credit for this, although it could likely be just a larp after the fact.
The problem with moving is that the entire mod team have to be in agreement, which is an issue. There are 3 people who are able to make that decision: me, ZoomerCrusader and happybillmoney. However, ZoomerCrusader no longer participates in mod chat, and happybillmoney was hesitant to do anything major despite my several warnings.
Should I have done something anyway against his wishes? In retrospect maybe.
So the next question is where to move. Another domain pointing to Scored's nameservers? Become another "sub" of scored?
The first could work, but there are two issues. First of all, it's very hard to get in touch with the admins nowadays as mentioned before. No new independent domains have been created within the last 2 years. And secondly, I don't trust them that much for various reasons. I could elaborate more on that if you're interested.
The problem with the current solution ("sub" of scored.co) is being forced into the new react js based layout that many people hate and have complained about, and effectively zero recourse in case the Scored network goes offline or decides to kick us off.

No one but close family and close friends ever get judged by their *intentions*. Sorry pal.

That lines up with the "clientHold" status fwiw.

Maybe you should get a mod team with some balls.
