Did Free Square Die? 20 Years of the History of this URL

in #freesquare4 years ago

There was a forum website hosted on this domain URL web address https://FreeSquare.com in 2019 for example. Now, it appeared that Free Square mirrored the Infocomms, AKA the Infowars Community Army (IWA) Forum which launched in 2018 and which last went down like late in 2019. Infocomms was all about offline activism. It was about coming together to talk about getting involved politically in non-violent protests, in voting, in raising awareness to politics, history, culture, morality, and things that we care about, things that we believe in doing.

Currently Down

Right now, it appears the Free Square is now down. So, I decided to use the Internet Time Machine to discover the history to this domain name. It appears that this domain was owned by Sedo as early as 2003 according to Archive.org. The domain was probably leased out to Chinese or Japanese or something Asian for several years. For several years in the early 2000's and mid-2010's, the domain was vacant. Infowars and/or others may have bought the domain as early as 2018 to turn into like the sandbox or mirror of the Infocomms.

Summary

This post shows some screenshots of the domain, FreeSquare.com, between the years of 2003-2019. This post is a rough draft introduction. It is unfinished and incomplete. I can say more about these things. But I wanted to start with these screenshots first.
