 As the offending servers were "hidden from the public eye" (although still operational to this day, pending a similar outcome to Operation Poweroff), it was necessary to force Abandonia to be hosted for a short time on a "backup" server (upon which the offending materials did reside), therefore allowing a direct connection to be made—one without implicating Abovo Media.No warning was possible or made, as the founding members and those of Studentis' administration were on this list.The site staff are volunteers and, as such, were unaware of anything above daily operation.
