From reading through a bunch of the posts today I'm getting this:

1. There is functionality specific to .win that would be hard to recode/change
2. They have a bit of a brand with other .win communities and the movement to those would take some decent lifting to get them all to xyz or space or whatever.
3. The plan was always to redirect the backups to a .win site, what's unclear is why they only purchased patriots.win recently
4. the backup sites are now forwarding to patriot.win, so either the backup sites were also compromised and none of this matters, or patriot.win is legit.
