This incarnation of Nathania was originally hosted on Bluehost and then Hostmonster. After a concerned citizen submitted a report of "adult content", Hostmonster issued a terms of service violation notice on 10 September 2012 noting that the website would be deactivated unless the content were removed within 48 hours. Eventually, Nathania ended up at Dreamhost; like other sites that use Dreamhost's share hosting, Nathania is subject to frequent performance problems, including internal server errors, although as of February 2014, these had become less common. | This incarnation of Nathania was originally hosted on Bluehost and then Hostmonster.

New prisoner-related content ceased to be added in February 2014, as upon further reflection, Larson considered that his giving in, on 7 December 2012, to pressure to tell the judge what he wanted to hear (viz. that those who communicate with felons in violation of their terms of supervised release are at fault for their own incarceration), rather than taking a principled stand similar to the Oscar Wilde took while being cross-examined in ''[[wikipedia:Oscar_Wilde#Regina_v._Wilde|Regina v. Wilde]]'', disqualified him from doing further prisoner solidarity work, as it constituted a betrayal of the values of integrity and courage required of such a worker. The giving in to the pressure had resulted from Larson's mother expressing loneliness at his absence, which put Larson in a position of having to choose between standing for his political beliefs or provoking the court to impose a punishment that would cause his family additional suffering. Since the fight over pedosexuality is still, in the terminology of Harris Mirkin,[http://www.ipce.info/ipceweb/Library/mirkin_text.htm] a Phase I struggle, there seemed to be little to gain, politically, by becoming a martyr; but this did not constitute an excuse from duty. | New prisoner-related content ceased to be added in February 2014, as upon further reflection, Larson considered that his giving in, on 7 December 2012, to pressure to tell the judge what he wanted to hear (viz. that those who communicate with felons in violation of their terms of supervised release are at fault for their own incarceration), rather than taking a principled stand similar to the one Oscar Wilde took while being cross-examined in ''[[wikipedia:Oscar_Wilde#Regina_v._Wilde|Regina v.
