@nerthos Fair enough though... looks like plenty of new people
-
@koen Yeah, lots of ponies joined since the Flankbook shut down.
-
@nerthos but why? D: no money or what?
-
@koen Exactly. It's on comatose state due to a lack of funds. Everything is saved, but the site is down until further notice.
-
@nerthos I can't help but wonder how that happened? Were they using really expensive hosting, or tons of storage, or what? Mediatemple's crappiest tier hosting gives you like a terrabyte of storage and transfer for all of $20 a month.
-
@nerthos how much does it need? i'm sure it couldn't be too much
-
@koen hello there are u new here
-
@ceruleanspark I don't know, i think they were using lots of storage space, as of yesterday the image albums were still up, i was lurking on one with about 400 pics. Today is closed, though. Maybe is that, or maybe the admin just got bored.
-
@theawesomepony yeah.. i've been here for at least three months xD just not active for the last two/three weeks.
-
@nerthos I wonder what they were using? Surely amazon's elastic block storage thing would work for them? That's not super expensive either.
-
@koen I don't know, i wasn't an user. There's a explanation on what happened on the main flankbook site.
-
@koen ah that's why is this your original name because i dont remember seeing you 3 months ago
-
@theawesomepony yeah i've changed it... a fair amount... a lot :D ... i'm keeping my real one on this
-
@ceruleanspark Let me open chrome and i'll give you a link. BTW, i don't know much about prices of that kind of things, i'm not into hosting. The last time i had to host something, i did it over hamachi.
