Question 1

What is the difference between Thotsbay and SimpCity?

Accepted Answer

Thotsbay and SimpCity are separate leak forums that serve identical purposes — organizing and distributing stolen creator content. Both ignore DMCA notices and require infrastructure-level enforcement. IntimaShield uses the same coordinated multi-platform approach against both forums.

Question 2

Thotsbay has a thread about me with dozens of links — is that all one case?

Accepted Answer

IntimaShield treats your entire Thotsbay thread as a single coordinated case. We identify and target every external file hosting link in the thread, the forum thread itself, and all search engine indexes simultaneously. You do not need to file separate requests for each link.

Question 3

Can Thotsbay forum members be identified?

Accepted Answer

Thotsbay users post under pseudonyms and the forum does not cooperate with identification requests. For cases involving criminal activity, law enforcement subpoenas to hosting providers may yield IP address data. IntimaShield focuses on content removal through infrastructure pressure rather than individual identification.

Question 4

Is 8kun the same as 8chan?

Accepted Answer

8kun is the rebranded successor to 8chan, launched after 8chan was dropped by Cloudflare and multiple hosting providers. The site operates under the same minimal moderation philosophy. IntimaShield uses infrastructure-level enforcement against 8kun's current hosting and CDN providers.

Question 5

Does 8kun respond to DMCA notices at all?

Accepted Answer

8kun has a nominal DMCA process but response times are extremely slow and outcomes are inconsistent. IntimaShield files with 8kun for procedural completeness but simultaneously escalates to the hosting provider, CDN, and domain registrar to force faster action.

Question 6

What if my 8kun content has been archived by other sites?

Accepted Answer

8kun content is frequently captured by third-party archive services. IntimaShield identifies all archives that have preserved your content and files takedown requests at each one, along with search engine de-indexing requests to suppress archived URLs.

Question 7

Can anyone find out who posted my images on 8kun?

Accepted Answer

8kun allows fully anonymous posting with no registration requirement. The site's cooperation with identification requests is minimal. Law enforcement subpoenas to the hosting provider may yield limited IP data depending on retention practices. IntimaShield focuses on rapid content removal rather than poster identification.
