The overall message on the homepage seems to mirror the story given by mods here as I recall reading it. Albeit from a slightly different perspective.

Whichever mod it was who had the old domain looks like he is trying to parley into his own rebranded site so I’d expect competition with patriots.win as the battle of “true successor site” goes on. Without delving very deep I’d assume it’s probably mostly true but colored by his POV.
