LewdCorner UpdateFor now, mime and apollo have full control over LC and will be handling site decisions going forward. I’m stepping back from making site changes for now and letting them decide how to move LC forward. - Jack Of BladesRead More

No need to dodge the question. Feel free to just say how you feel today.
I feel today pretty fine. Will go on my walk in an hour so and look up to it. What's on your daily agenda? Programming stuff?

Autoban? Hopefully it won’t be buggy on day 1 like the other features. That’s the one feature that has to be perfect. Imagine getting autobanned because of a system bug.

lol doing good, trying to make the v3.2 stable and then go make my morning drink (health drink) on a week juice diet.

Guys, what did you eat for your last meal?

Good luck on that juice died. You will feel like a whole new man after that. Did something similar already with a week of waterfasting. That crave for some flavoured stuff was unbearable.

Good old rice.

I picked up a takeout bento box from the self-service buffet. Just the average: rice, meat, cucumber, tendon, and dried tofu.

Seems like I.. my friend is on the safe side.

What side dish do you eat with it, or is it fried rice?
4 Months of Service
Just rice. Was too lazy to do something else. Maybe I will eat later an egg or something.
5 Months of Service
Ah, just plain unflavored rice? Not even with soy sauce?
4 Months of Service
Nope. Maybe later this week some goulash to mix it with.

Honestly asking, is it even already neccesary or just a precaution? Shouldn't Cloudflare weed out most of this?

See you later, alligators, I'm off to my walk, burning through some thoughts.
A bit more engagement, until I'm back. I'm in desperate need to upvote and react to some stuff.

This seems to me like copyright issues or, worse, image rights.
I don’t know about LC, because I haven’t had time to fully explore the site yet, but on ATF there were many animations involving scanned models, which must cause a lot of problems. Characters like Sarah would probably result in heavy copyright claims, but that might be worked around. However, characters like Laura (Silent Hill remake), Sherry (Resident Evil), and some others would likely cause a massive legal issue, since they are 1:1 scans of real children, not sculptures. I might be wrong, but that would be my guess.

Oh, sorry, I don’t visit the site that often. The last time I went there was to check if there was an update for DOL

Vistarr made proper announcement 13 minutes ago. So it would be more strange if you notice it so fast.Oh, sorry, I don’t visit the site that often. The last time I went there was to check if there was an update for DOL

This is not the first time I've thought about calling it quits.
Hosting a site of size and nature does take a toll on you, even if the challenge on itself has been a major motivator to keep going.
And it's only getting a steeper uphill still.
If the so-called "basics" are covered from technical / hosting side, you have to worry operating within bounds of the law, keeping the bad actors at bay as well as malicious attempts to bring the site down by DDoS, deplatforming, doxing and so on.
With laws and regulations tightening not only on pornography, but what can be done with AI, as well as in general what you can do or say online, and platforms are increasingly held as responsible what any given member does.
The operating costs are getting higher.
For optimal performance the site would need a full 10Gbit/s throughput and I'm falling short from paying for it, having to settle to something like 80% of that. There's fees for co-location, VPS, bandwidth, emails, backup systems, all adding up to easily over 20k/year. Not to mention how much has been spent on hardware.
The server responsible for the forum is running out of space in 6 months. All bays are taken. If the RAID level is dropped, then maybe additional year of time could be gained. Even without the price hikes of RAM and SSDs, I wouldn't be able to afford a new server with even more storage than what it has now (7.68TB x 6 on main array).
I am not looking for additional financial support. If you have an old crypto address from me, don't use that as there's a high chance it doesn't reach me. Those who are currently supporting me via subscription, I would ask if you can stick around for a bit as it really does help to keep the lights on. And sincere gratitude to past donators as well.
The users themself are getting more troublesome.
In the beginning of my reign I was all aboard on the idea of "Let a hundred flowers bloom, let a hundred schools of thought contend". The problem is, as your numbers grows, there is less cohesion. There's a lot of people who will take advantage whatever platform you offer them and they will exploit it to their selfish needs without no concern to it or others.
Thankfully I've had a lot of help from our staff, past and present, without them the site would implode within a day. I just wish I could somehow reward you with more than words, or make the users truly appreciate what they are here for, even if they might disagree sometimes on how they govern.
I hope to keep the site operating long enough for people to backup what they deem valuable and migrate elsewhere. I cannot give any spefic date yet. Hopefully people can do organized effort on this, like a specific sub-section. There are other communities like this that can welcome you as long as you respect them in kind.
For the ambitious ones out there wanting to build their own community, I recommend focusing on your core offering, and doing that well. A niche site that is just a platform for stories or another for game creations / mods would do great. Gray topics should have their own community, focusing on help and support. Think carefully what kind of community you want to foster.
For the migration as well as for existing or future site operators, I might be able to offer help or consultation, technical or otherwise.
The site has grown too large for it's own good, I don't personally really care for the influx of some of the newcomers, there is too much relying on just me, I am not going to be around forever. It's better to call it quits when it could still be done gracefully.
Support the existing sites, be it financially or even just with your activity.
Finally, I think it's important to say that I am not doing this under sudden legal pressure or such duress,

. The site has received maybe 5 subpoenas in total when I've been in charge. None of them were any blanket requests, but reasonable in their justification, focusing on individual users, all of which I have fulfilled. None came with a gag order other than not to disclose while an investigation is underway. If desired, I can make more verbose disclosure on these.
