Everywhere the evil ones are winning because they cheat and play dirty.

Because of simple juvenile jealously your site was constantly attacked.

I'm at a loss for words.  This was the one site I felt safe and trusted the info I read.  I appreciate you, Shipmate, I do more than any words could say.  Thank you, for everything you've done to help all of us.

Is there any chance the site itself can at least be archived and hosted?

 

Internet Wayback Machine (website) also should at least provide a way for Vets to still see site content but as a site drops out of use the Wayback crawler slows down and essentially stops crawling it, making it hard to find, even there. 

Still, at least for awhile, its an option for people to still find it to go back and research.

The thing about this type of attack

It is at least 4 Fold.

1. Negative SEO Attack. This basically trashes the domain names credibility, the sites credibility drops and you disappear off of Google. We can disavow these links however you have to check them one by one and if you clear a thousand another thousand will appear.

2. Scrapped content. Tons of sites have copied our content and are displaying it on their site. Some of these sites will try and download malicious code.

3. My main email address appears to have been signed up for a lot of porn, spam and other malicious things.

4. Constant hack attempts on site.

I encourage you to do some research on this type of attack. It can devastate a one person shop like mine.

it is designed to kill the site and it’s done that and just a bit of me with it. I have no financial or emotional resources left to give.

I've got a masters in IT Sec, I know how they (SEO attacks) work. I just wondered if the content itself could be saved, at least for a period of time, like a year. Eventually VA regs changes world render some of the information obselete but that's always been an issue. At least it would keep the info up for awhile. 
 

What is the status of members identifying information? I'm assuming that was encrypted so there isn't any chance of that coming to bite people?
