Pareciera una broma... Por más que tu server (ex =P) tenga razón, es tal cual lo dijiste, pura bullshit.
En fin, espero que logres hacer el backup... Y aunque se pierdan muchas imágenes y sea un golpe duro, el sitio va a volver a crecer nuevamente, siempre que haya ganas, claro. ^_^
De cualquiér forma nos estaremos viendo otra vez cuando haya server nuevo, no?

Así que... saludos y mucha suerte con eso!

Tengo un backup del 25 de octubre y ahora mismo estoy creando otro para tener todas las imagenes, asi q perderse, no se deberia de perder ninguna imagen cuando estemos en el nuevo servidor.

--------------------------------------------

I do have a backup from October 25th and I am creating another one right now, so we should not loose any images (hopefully) when we move the new server.

O_O

What a bunch of dicks.

At least there's a backup plan.

I have two backup plans.

1. Moving everything to a different server and forgetting about this one for the gallery
2. Moving just the images, and dividing the load between this server (pages) and the other (images)

The problem with the second approach would be the way we handle uploads. I don't know if the image server will allow a connection from the page server for an upload... but we might be able to pull it off...

I think that having these two plans might allow us to have almost no down time at all.

The mans putting us down, so we say f**k him and get back up.

This site has gone to far too go down so easy. TOO FAR I SAY!

sérieusement c'est de l'abus, je trouve sa stupide ( french ) , mais j'espère que cela va s'arranger !
sorry i don't speak english very well
but i hope , you can find a new server.
i have a question, i'm new here and i would like to know, can i start some uploads ? because you have some problems with your server , and it would be stupid, if i upload and all will be lost .

omg.. i leave a for a day and the site almost gets taken down?!

IGC have you found a new host yet?

@Yuh-yin: I've stopped accepting uploads until we solve all this issues. Since I need to move from one to the other, it doesn't make sense to keep uploading files to this server (posts are fine, since I can always backup the database and copy the latest version over.

@charlie: I saw your email a few minutes ago, thanks for the recommendation, but I already found a server. I only paid for one month, so we can check it out and see if it fits our needs. I have already found one problem, but I hope I can work around it (it's with the naming of files) but we'll worry about that later.

I think we are going to start with option number 2, until I get the new server ready for navigation and then once everything is ready, we'll do the complete move.

Thanks

Small update to my previous post...

The problem I was having is now solved. I was able to make the server work as it was working here.
The problem was related to the way the files are named and the URLs are created. We were using some Type Forcing to server /series/ /image/ /tags/ as php, and that was not allowed in the new server, but using a series of rewrites it does work now, so no changes in the URLs will be required...

wow that really sucks! Totally wasn't expecting that at all @.@ but I mean there are hundreds of websites out there that do this kind of thing and I haven't heard a thing about copyright violations [I mean wallpaper artists in general are taking characters from pictures and creating a wallpaper around the picture, so technically thats some sort of copyright violation in itself I'm sure but I mean it isn't even a matter of everyone does it, its just a norm, its not something you can stop you know? x__x *wonders if she's making any sense...lol*] gah well I hope you get everything sorted out and you should tell the old server to shove it

Kimiko-chan, it does suck. I understand their point, but the issue is that I truly believe that creating wallpapers falls under fair use. We are not selling the wallpapers, so we are not benefiting from the use or the characters and we are not taking any revenue away from the original source since us having wallpapers does not mean that the studios are going to sell less DvDs. In fact, we are helping them by advertising their products and showing more series than just Naruto, which is all you see on Tv.

Anyway, all of this is resolved now, so we can come back to enjoying our images and forget about this.

Me alegro mucho.
