That's right. Unfortunately, I'm not longer able to run Megachan. Work has become too hectic and I simply don't have the time or energy anymore.

If someone wants to take over MC, drop me an email at ryce@megachan.net. If there are no takers, the site shuts down end of February.

Some info about the site:
Domain is hosted with FailDaddy, up for renewal in January next year
Site content is about 3 gigs (Porno Megachan is about 112 megs)
Databases are about 10 megs
Megachan gets ~10k visits a month. Dunno about PMC as I never bothered getting the tracking working.
Combined traffic usage is ~40-60 gigs a month at last count, I lost the traffic graphs when the host migrated the site to a new server
>> No. 2664
Site is currently hosted on a VPS, however it should run fine on shared hosting - hell larger chan sites do. I'm currently paying about $10 a month for this VPS but if you want to move it elsewhere I'll gladly help, eg FTPing the files or whatever via commandline. Don't bother with a VPS unless you know how to work with Linux :p
>> No. 2665
I seriously hope you get some takers. I completely understand though, while I've got infinite computing resources at my disposal, the management time is the real drain. Good luck in your other endevours!

Well this just ruined my day. =(
>> No. 2667
Shit, man. It would be a shame to lose megachan. It's more of an awesome cyberpunk archive than a chan for me.
>> No. 2668
I would run the main Megachan, although not PMC due to very strict porn laws in my area. I'd have to shift it to a public free server or a friend's free server as I'm very short on money recently and my own ISP bans servers. iwakura@gmx.com.

Dunno about you guys but I never came here for my porn anyway. Like >>2667 said, this is my cyberpunk archive and community.

Drop me an email with more info on the server.

Crap...

Blergh, I have no experience running a server sadly.

(We have a porn board?)

www.pornomegachan.net, for what it's worth

Also, you don't need to run a server/VPS. You can get by with shared hosting quite easily

Any news? Is Kuro able to host it properly?
>> No. 2675
>>2674

He should be able to host it properly. Migration will occur towards end of the month, I still have some services tied to the emails that I need to move off.

Awesome! I like this site. Like some the others here, I never came here for the porn. Didn't even know there was any. Plus there are plenty of chans with that anyways.

I came here for the copious amounts of awesome artwork and glad to see that MC will be kept alive.

I'm really fucking chuffed at the response about the site continuing :)

Thank you, all those who thanked me. I have been away over the last two or three days due to HDD trouble; this will hopefully be fixed by Wednesday. In the meantime, I will post when I can from my brother's computer.
