Shiro handed over support to the greater internet in summer 2016. It was a text list on okfn.org text pad: (https://pad.okfn.org/p/cloudflare-tor and https://pad.okfn.org/p/noncloudflare-torblocks) However it was pointed out that this website itself was on Cloudflare, and cloudflare actively blocked Tor users to access it. So it was moved to systemli.org : ( https://pad.systemli.org/p/noncloudflare-torblocks ) and an onion service ( http://j7652k4sod2azfu6.onion/p/noncloudflare-torblocks , http://j7652k4sod2azfu6.onion/p/cloudflare-tor , http://j7652k4sod2azfu6.onion/p/cloudflare-philosophy ) These systemli pads needed to be updated once in every while (week? month?) or the whole list was scrubbed. This happened a few times, and there were some attempts at vandalism up to and including june 2016. A fork was made during a multi-day outage at http://git.vola7ileiax4ueow.onion/fuckcloudflare/cloudflare-tor/ (new, not GitHub repo) However vola7ileiax4ueow's git service went down, so it was moved to github There used to also be a list of websites that *were* on cloudflare but are no longer. This list has been lost ( it was on https://pad.systemli.org/p/ex-cloudflare-tor )
