Here is the official statement on today's situation:

AR15.com Backup Site Live, Switching to First Amendment Friendly Site Registrar

On Monday, January 11, 2021, I received notice from our site registrar that AR15.com had violated their terms of service and that AR15.com would be shut down immediately. The registrar’s decision to de-platform AR15.com was final and no method to appeal was offered.

It remains unclear specifically what content allegedly violated the registrar’s terms of service.

However, I am happy to report that we have found a new, First Amendment-friendly site registrar and we have begun the process of transitioning AR15.com to the new registrar.

We expect the switchover to take up to 5 days. During that time, our famous “AR15.com” URL will not be usable. Once the switchover is complete, AR15.com will be fully restored to normal function.

In the meantime, I welcome freedom lovers and firearm enthusiasts to visit us at our temporary URL: www.ar15-backup.com. We will post on the backup site when the normal AR15.com has been completely restored.

Juan Avila, President & Co-Founder, AR15.com

Thank you for not pulling a Parlor and allowing this site to be bullied into extinction. That is what makes this the greatest gun forum on the planet.

I'm never in Arf anymore but what happened today is an atrocity.

I may dislike a lot of the nonsense that goes on here but I would miss this place.

Tells me this might not have been planned, but was definitely orchestrated by somebody else. They were pressured possibly? The fact they didn't give a reason, nor did they give details, says it had little to do with either.

Everyone should be coordinating with each other on a local/regional level if you aren’t already. This places days are numbered.

Hopefully you learned your lesson and realize you can’t just bury your head in the sand and they will leave us alone. Compliance isn’t going to keep us alive. This cancel movement is going to continue to grow and increase in intensity. They tipped their hand really early, they have four years to continue these types of attacks on our liberties.

Good job with all of this GoatBoy.

All of of us here appreciate your quick and timely resolution to getting all of this GoDaddy nonsense figured out.

ARFCOM is good people
