I'm bored at the moment, so I figured I'd update the site stats for plus613.com At the bottom, I'll also include the weekly bandwidth usage graph so you guys have an idea at the kind of traffic this site is pumping out (it'll update live, so the graph you're seeing is the what it really is). Busiest month: Currently Jan 2005, growing every single month. As of right now, the server has used ov

It's still in very poor taste, and not what we want on the site.

It's a decent idea, we and we are looking into the best way to "report" a truly bad image, however I don't know if extra classification categories is the way to go. If we did that, I think people would simply not use it. "Keep it simple" is the way features have to be, if we have 20 or 30 categories it's simply too much hassle for most people to use. Perhaps something like

An image requires 4 vote minimum to be categorised (that is, 4 different people). If 5 people come along and vote it into a different category, the new category is automatically selected. It's done by whatever the most people vote it into, so if there's wrong categories, it's at least been done by a selection of people instead of just 1

Porn is fine, in moderation. The problem is when 80% of new uploads are porn, and in my opinion they are fucking up the site. I know they're making me lose interest.

dr bob: "When this sort of picture is allowed" Yeah, it's clearly allowed when ALL the rules on the site SPECIFICALLY rule out such content. You realise we DO sleep from time to time, and don't browse the site all day, every day? What a stupid thing to say. It's unfortunate, but it happens. We report all such users to their ISP and may contact child protection services with their

It requires 4 "votes" currently, and we'd REALLY appreciate it if people could go nuts categorising images PROPERLY Hit Random Image and just go for it, there's 7000 images and a total of around 28000 classification votes that are required to get this system running completely (but every bit helps). Thanks

Thanks. I could've done it in Swedish or something and just written "ja".. Hrm, perhaps I should've. Or maybe a simple "Y".

Yup

I believe an image requires 25 votes to appear in the toplist top rated section, however only one vote is required for the top rated gallery. Something like that anyway.

What a relief
Forum: plus613.net

The reason why is simple - server load. With image views in the hundreds of thousands a day, and now regularly seeing over 600 users online, even our new server is struggling to keep up at times. So, as a stop gap measure we're running 2 web server programs on the same physical server. Apache, which builds the page you see (everything except the picture) which needs all the fancy options such

Our pictures are now hosted on port 81 on our web server, whereas the rest of the site is on 80. Please ensure no firewall is blocking your access to port 81.

I'm sorry, I too believe the picture should stay. As much as I'd heard about the disaster on the news, the spiralling death toll, etc, the sheer magnitude of what has happened doesn't really hit home until you see an image like this. I have every respect for those who lost their lives, and mean no disrespect by leaving this image on the site, however it will not be removed. If you really wi

We have occasional backups, however with the site taking up over 7 gig of space these days any system failure would mean a setback for the site. The plan of action we have in place in case of a system failure would be to go to the pub, get drunk, probably go to sleep and think about it in the morning.

We are currently working on a categorisation system which will allow you to "vote" an image into one of around 10 predefined categories. One of these categories will be something along the lines of "disgusting/inappropriate" so as to draw our attention to images that we've missed. The site will probably continue to operate as it does now, however there will be further optio

Thanks for the feedback, if anybody else is having the issue where they only see a plus613 logo instead of an image, could you please let us know? We've made a change to the image theft system which should allow even non-RFC compliant browsers to function properly so long as the image request originates from our site.

Because the developers of the site know PHP and not JSP mostly This site started purely as an exercise to learn PHP, nothing more. It slowly formed around that premise. It was also a good excuse to learn SQL. plus613.com runs on a dedicated P4-2.4ghz server with a gig of RAM and 80 gig of storage, running Red Hat Linux with a load average of around 1.50 to 2.50. The HTTP server is Apache. We

There is a problem with the image processing software whereby it crashes when it has completed generating the thumbnail etc. We are currently investigating other programs to use to perform this function within PHP, and we have no idea why it's become so bad lately (it used to be once in a blue moon). As you've noticed though, the images are successfully uploaded without a problem.
