[Not so] Bad news. Very bad news...
Update:
We have moved to a new server and everything is ready. If you still have any problems, let us know in the forums or in this news posts. There might be a couple of things that need to be re-configured after the change, but we have taken care of most of the issues. Let's hope that this does not happen again, so we don't have to waste a good week of image validation and other stuff.Thanks for the support while we were moving and I hope you enjoy the site more than ever.Hello every one,I think I have horrible news.I have received an email from my server saying that the site has been flagged for copyright infringement during an internal audit and I have to remove all copyrighted material before 11pm today.I asked what they thought was copyrighted, to see if I could just remove certain things and leave everything else in place (i.e. just removing the scans or original dvd covers) but they said that even an image with a single character on it is considered copyrighted by the author, so wallpapers are also considered unless they are 100% fan art, which means that 99% of the images on the site are considered copyrighted.I sent them a second reply, telling them that then ANY site with a banner showing an anime character or videogame character or movie screenshot is in the same situation and their answer was that yes, they are, but just because everyone else does it, does not mean that they allow it, which is total BS.So, there is nothing I can do about it, and I am going to have to remove the images and move everything to another server. Thankfully, I have a few hours to create a backup copy of everything that is on the site and then move it to a different server, but it might take a few days to have everything up and running as we want.I am going to see if I can ask for more time before they close the site so that the transition is not so abrupt, but I can't promise you anything.Since the server names are registered somewhere else, the URL would be the same when we are back up on the new server.I hope to see you all when the new server is up and running. If anyone knows of a good server that is not too expensive.I'll keep you all posted here. The forums will remain open during the transition, since they do not host the images, but later today I will have to actually remove all the images from the site.
