SITUATION STATUS:I have the deadline to inform you that the maintenance and upgrade to the server are completed.
The site is now fully operational again.Thank you in advance for your understanding in this process.
I would like to share some information about this whole process.
First of all, notice what happened once the Imgur issues arose:
On the 11th, it had only 354 images uploaded.
Day 12: 739
Day 13: 1216
Day 14: 4376
Being now with more than 5000 images uploaded.
This significant increase, in a short period of time,
forced me to migrate to another server sooner than expected. The plan was for the migration to be gradual, over the next few months. But due to this situation, I had to do everything in less than 48 hours. At the same time, I had to do everything possible so that the site remains online and does not compromise the visualization of the images already uploaded in the forum.
This
new server, located in Europe, will allow more bandwidth and more space for the free use of images.
As you can calculate, all this had an
extra cost that was not planned for now. Although for now everything is assured, I will be very grateful for any contributions you can make. This project, without your support, will be more difficult to continue to grow. This community has always been very good at supporting projects, and I hope the same will happen with this one.
Friends, thank you again for your support and understanding.
Happy uploading of images!!!
WOW! This is great news on the adoption of your service on one hand, but on the other hand isn't it very soon to migrate? I hope your project is economically viable for you if you don't find a commercial partner soon, although taking into account these data I dare say that many advertisers will want to advertise with you.
Otherwise, as you said, our community is quite good at supporting this kind of projects, so I hope donations to flow if needed. Please, keep us informed.
