Yesmap's "pediverse blackout sweepstake"

I've been personally blamed for the demise of something like 60-80% of the lost pediverse at some time or another, so started thinking about ways of turning censorship to our advantage with a humorous twist.

Having seen a number of new pediverse instances come to fruition, I decided to hold a sweepstake (in fact, more of a prize fund, as it's Yesmap's money) based on the participants' knowledge of how technically sound each instance is.

All the participants have to do is guess in which order each instance will go offline for more than 2 weeks, based on their knowledge of the administrator's technical skills, the outlandishness of the domain name, and how woefully information-cheap the domain registrar is.

Assistance keeping track of where and when the instances go offline very much appreciated.
