I'm just some dude, so I can only speculate. But I do know domain names are not required to run a site. If you know the IP address you can access any site in exactly the same way as normal.
The theory is Q is military intelligence, so it would be logical to assume they have direct access to the DoD servers. And it appears the 8kun server got transferred there recently. I think the whole reason for the "darkness" was so Q could literally take over 8chan.
And afaik, qmap is separate from 8kun. It's just another patriot who finds Qs posts and reposts them. I've often wondered about how quickly qmap finds them. Could be someone else from the Q team.
Most of the issues people are having right now are DNS related. Meaning, the part that translates the domain name to the server IP address has not been stable. Hotwheels and the cabal are doing everything they can to attack the domain part, but they can't do shit to the actual server. That's why they put up an onion route (using Tor). It decentralizes the lookup process and adds some redundancy when the domain goes down again. (The server is still there and working fine.)

And afaik, qmap is separate from 8kun/chan. It's just another patriot who finds Qs posts and reposts them. I've often wondered about how quickly qmap finds them. This is true. I was on 8ch when the anons mentioned they were going to make a better replacement for the pastebins and githubs that were being maintained to disemminate the early Qposts. Qanon.pub was made which was pretty good shit compared to a pastebin and made by some kid trying to get into the marines but was denied because he had drug charges. Qmap came about as a more modern and updated style and other features. Thats what I remember about that.
So if I knew the IP address I could just put it in my browser and go there and get access? Just recently people were talking about a recent post having an IP Address that looked like a date but could resolve to an IP if used that way... Looking for it. 3518 has it 11.11.18 They need 4 periods? 11.11.18.0? or 0.11.11.18? The later resolves to a white page with no errors. Not much to see though

There are 4 sets of numbers in an IP address, and 3 periods.
I tried using voat as an example and came up with an IP of 104.20.82.63. However, voat uses cloudflare which hides the real IP. And visiting it directly says it's not allowed. I'm not techie enough to dig past that point. And I'm mobile right now, so only have access to browser based tools to look the IP up.
Google's IP (or one of them at least) is 172.217.12.238. Visiting that will load google as normal. However, their DNS is working right now so it still does the conversion part and will show google.com in the address bar.
