Editing Soot (section)

===== Background =====

On July 3, a thread was created in /b/, by a schizo who <s>forgot to take his meds</s> started dropping redpills about the state of Soyjak.party.<ref>{{CitePost|board=b|no=16294|caption=Kolyma, a so-called network from Russia that buys imageboards (soyjak.party/suggest//res/5328.html is an example) and provides free hosting and technical support (pic1)|date=July 3, 2021|url=https://archive.today/1hw1L}}</ref><ref>Alternative archive: https://archive.is/hySa8</ref>

OP summarized his case as such:

<blockquote>Let's sum it up. Kolyma-network is a datamining project, not shy to overtake chans and blatantly force admins to sell their projects. Free hosting and technical support is a lure to gather under their control as many chans as possible. For what purpose? At the very least to gather information, the rest is food for thought. These people don't hesitate to lie about their "years" of age by creating pages about themselves on the wiki. Their lies have been proven above and preserved in webarchive, and their sites are nothing more than a cover that they change almost every week. Anon, spread the word, don't let some dataminers from Russia take over your favorite chans!<ref>https://archive.today/1hw1L#16296</ref></blockquote>

Some users pointed out that the captcha<ref>

and CP spam<ref>

may have the new owner's doing, and that datamining and spamming illegal material to force admins to surrender their chans wasn't outside of his wheelhouse.<ref>
https://archive.today/1hw1L#q16309: ''After that, Maki had to delete his chan because, according to him, Kuz threatened him with ddos, spam, and abuse reports.''</ref>

Soot replied, with the kindness and manners befitting an admin:

<blockquote>I never even got a fucking offer, fuck off with your garbage fake schizo spam<ref>https://archive.today/1hw1L#q16329</ref></blockquote>
