It's mostly there for the admin accounts / mods. You can safely ignore it. Logs any and all login attempts, including those with an invalid password, etc.
However, this does mean that your IP address will be stored on the server in plaintext until you clear it. I don't otherwise store that data.
Huh? I didn't change anything within the last day. Yes, scripts are required for image posts to display. It invokes the same function call to expand the preview as if you did it manually from the post listing. You should still be able to open the image url by clicking on the post title however.
Many things are rendered by clientside scripts, including buttons under content. It may work without, but definitely expect lots of issues.

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.

> 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.
What's your issue? See the stickied post on the [c/ link](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct) for explaination. The main domain name has been suspended. We've lost all control over that a year ago due to the owner's absence, therefore it likely can't be reinstated.
Unfortunately it seems that consumeproduct.win has been suspended, as I have warned many times it could happen. We lost control over the domain name a year ago.
I fund it myself, although you're free to donate crypto (XMR or BTC) if you feel like it.
Contrary to [C's claims](https://communities.win/c/Meta/p/15HvPkoVS2/x/c/4OYYSxz1lP4) on scored.co about a website merely the size of old Voat costing upwards of a $3000/month to operate, it doesn't actually cost much.
If more regular visitors and users join it might force me to scale the servers if they get overloaded.
