Their domain registrar, and it looks like potentially also their webhost, is Spaceship.
I recommend sending a politely and clearly worded email about this website being a mass piracy operation to abuse@spaceship.com

Webhost would be more effective. The site owner is probably shame-proof.

Best thing is not to give them any details and instead complain to their webhost, NameCheap.

The best thing about this Onyx media blogging system...
As of version 0.8.8 alpha, as a new install, it currently only takes 1.18mb of server/webhost space.
Article files can vary on article length and would still only be kb in size.
Settings file under 2kb.
Your media is the only sizeable content.

My new self made blogging software is now running its first article and good news, my clever share system actually works for a website that is essentially 1 page. 😄

To clarify: OVH is completely normal and legit, I mean I can't personally confirm they really are the webhost.

there's literally no reason anyone would be able to match your email to what's used on AO3 unless they had hacked it 🙃 I did email the webhost though, to flag that they're hosting illicit activity (IP theft, for original works, and phishing):
abuse@spaceship.com,support@spaceship.com
abuse@spaceship.com,support@spaceship.com
Dear fic writers, you might want to check if your fics are there but DO NOT send them the email to ask for removal, as they want your email address you use on AO3 and it's very sketchy. Email the web host abuse@spaceship.com reporting copyright infringement to make them take it down

Someone pointed out you should not give them your email - contact their webhost and paypro instead.

Hmmm... My WordPress sites have been down since 8 am this morning, and still are. But worse, while the "regular webpages" of my webhost load fine, I haven't been able to log in at all since either... I don't like that.

Email abuse@spaceship.com about this. This website likely scraped content from AO3 or the Wayback Machine, without consent, and is profiting off audiobook versions of the content that uses a generative AI service.
Hopefully helpful info in the replies.

Even if you give a fake email, they still now have an active name and ip address to work with. This and the fanfiction site are a new wave of phishing scams that try to get you both ways. It's better to report the scam to the webhost.

Well, if an army needs to bother a webhost, I know a bunch of people who would probably appreciate the distraction from infinitely refreshing.

Should be good to go again. Newest info from webhost is that unauthorized scraping of our CC-licensed site by aggressive AI startups in sketchy places like Tel Aviv and Virginia USA amounted to a DDoS effect.

In 2001 I discovered CLAMP fandom and made my little Touya/Yuki site on a free webhost. Then Val of sakurazukamori . net reached out to me, told me she loved my site and offered to host it on her domain. That stayed with me all these years. Val left fandom, but I hope she’s living a great life ❤️🌸
okay time for sth positive. what's something from fandom that's stuck with you. I had the pleasure of beta reading @skstarlight.northsky.social 's beautiful fic about perfume & second chance romance called Heart Notes. have since developed a perfume collection 😂

Awesome!
Also, CC'ing helps establish chain of custody and proof of notification that can make the webhost liable directly, indirectly, and/or vicariously.

I think complaining to their webhost is probably the way to go? Someone downthread of the viral post wrote an email template to the host. Getting the site removed is a better outcome than just telling the scammers to stop.

My only problem now would be...
How would I do file management on my phone? I'd probably have to do that through my PC and then just direct Godot to the files as appropriate. I might also need to consider git while I'm at it. Will likely do some storage on a webhost or something instead of github.
