DerAlteSack you are incorrect. The infamous 'Nothing here, nor will there be' page, with the U.S.
Justice department seal on it was the only thing displayed when one tried to access the site after The Science Alliance was connected to HH and the site was taken down.
I'm not sure what you think you know but the govt did seize the domain and shut it down. Anyone around back then knows this if they tried to access it in that short timeframe. True, it was because of TSA primarily but nonetheless it was taken down, there were plenty of people who would have been willing to continue the hive under that banner. The reason this didn't happen is as stated. Whatever it was that was continued was not the original hive domain To this day nobody is clear on who or what rhodium was.
Edit: I am aware that it continued in a much depleted form until 2004 or so, meaning it came back online at some point after I quit going there in 2001 (which was when it was actually closed for however long, IDK)
I was incarcerated from the time of Strikes arrest until 2005 so, yes, I was unaware for a while that it continued in whatever form, but it *was* closed for a time when HH got popped and indicted. Total Synthesis 2, The Science Alliance domain and yes, the original hive, were ALL introduced into evidence in HHs conspiracy indictment. It's highly likely that what little security it had was severely compromised once HH was gone.
