So. That was an entertaining week.
I won't bore with the details, but we're back. The porn site is dead.

Couldn’t be worse than when the 4fuckr server host burned down...
They gave up and only exist on Discord now.

Nah; main issue was DK is the only one who knew how this shit hung together at
the back end, and as far as I know is probably dead. And so when things
restarted and nothing could reconnect to each other in the back end; php
accelerators, web servers and databases, nothing would talk, and I haven't
touched Docker in years. Had to quickly learn enough to get things sorted
again.
I could bring the porn site up right now. I just don't want it anymore. I
disabled uploads about 12-18 months ago after it became a huge pain in the ass
of revenge shit; and it just got worse and worse.
I have things back running on the new core from 2020. Now I'm looking at what it
takes to unpick everything and re-host it differently. In a way I know how it
works
Without the porn site, we need about 1/10 the resources to run things, so I can
look at a more economical way of doing things without ads and throwing money at
nothing. It's all been a long time coming, let's see if I can make it work.

Congrats on getting it back up and running. I felt lost when I clicked on my
bookmarks and there was... nothing. Should you ever really shut it down hope
there is at least a message board to sign off to some of the old crew still
here.
As for the porn site, for the best. That must have been a nightmare to manage.
That said... so... where is the torrent? Asking for a friend. j/k

Yeah I'd do something along those lines. Something better than the porn site
anyway (wob's image above).
For now if I can get the rehosting done, and drop the hosting costs without the
porn site, then there's no real reason it can't keep going; but it's unlikely to
ever get another code update.

We all just assumed you broke it trying to update the IOTW...

plus613.com domain is now running off the new infrastructure. It's 95% complete,
but image uploads aren't working. Not 100% sure where that issue is, but I have
a theory. If I can get it working, I'll cut it over this week. Might lose the
newest images/comments at cutover point though, but we'll see.
It's a bit hard to test as it wants to redirect to plus613.net most of the time,
as we moved to this domain as the primary when we lost access to the old domain
for a few months .. years ago.
Anyway, I've almost got it all working which is kind of neat. It's been
seriously hard work.

Live on the new infrastructure.
Let me know if you see anything weirder than normal...

weirder than normal?
Take a hint from Lou Reed and take a walk on the wild side. A 20 minute walk
through Anytown, USA and voila ... you're there
