Whether the content will change, or perhaps the tone and scope of infowars.com generally.
It's gone dude.
Quote:Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones went ballistic after his Infowars website was taken down during a live broadcast.
During a simulcast with Steve Bannon's War Room on Thursday, Jones announced that Infowars.com was offline after The Onion successfully won an auction for the site's assets.
"Steve, Infowars has been taken down!" Jones exclaimed. "Infowars.com has been taken down! No court order, nothing."

Edit: Maybe a stunt, I don't know, Mr Jones is certainly no stranger to those, but this seems a bit more real than usual...
Edit: Looks like infowars changed from Barracuda to CloudFlare on Nov 3rd; they prolly yanked the server today to make a point. Dunno if it'll be back.
Edit: Wonder who bought the rest of the stuff, or if The Onion got it all:
Quote:Up for grabs at the auction were Infowars production rights and materials, the Infowars store, domain names, production equipment and other assets — including a Terradyne armored truck and a Winnebago motor home — that can be purchased in their entirety or in parts, according to the firm, ThreeSixty Asset Advisors. Jones broadcasts from the Austin, Texas, area.
