We have a database corruption issue at the moment we are working on resolving to restore all the correct ratings and views to each image. It'll probably be fixed tomorrow.

Here it is, just 3 days later, and we're at 6.25 million views. In theory, this means the next million will come up in 12 days, hammering even the 18 days that the last million took. If this hit rate is achieved, 7,000,000 image views should hit on or around the 4th of December.. assuming the hit rate isn't still rising, that is, and it comes in earlier. We'll see

Although this has been covered in other forum posts, we now have the ability to register your nickname. This will prevent anybody from using it when they are not logged in under your account. This is the only way to protect your name on this site, and at the moment that's all user registration is used for, though in the future there may be some exciting new features which will only be able to be

True, but a view is a view regardless of if you've seen an image before or not. A view has a quantifyable cost in bandwidth and server processing terms. It lets us look at the site and say "it costs us $x per y amount of image views to run this site". A vote costs us nothing to count or ignore. The limiting of votes of one per IP address is simply to stop people ballot stuffing, whic

That would be quite hard to develop. Besides, it's really hard for us to know what IP is legit, and what isn't. The person could be posting from work instead of from home, and suddenly they're banned, etc etc. I believe revert has fixed the issue, so we'll wait and see on that first. Thanks for the suggestion

I'm really impressed by this. The site was started around mid October, 2003. On January 28 2004, we hit 250,000 image views, which is around 3.5 months. On April 21, we hit 1,000,000 image views, which is around another 3 months. This means in the 4th to 6th months of this site running, we had tripled our hit rate. On November 4, we hit the 5,000,000 mark (incidentally, my birthday) whic

Unless somebody has actually told us what their email address is, there's no way of us finding it out. Thanks for the reports, we'll continue to investigate

Forum: plus613.net

To be perfectly honest, I'm =REALLY= fucking sick of the porn in all its forms. I dunno about the images you're referring to, you may not have noted the image id properly or they may have been removed for a legal reason, it's impossible to tell, but yeah. If things continue like this, we will be banning porn. The occasional novelty porn-based picture (say, search for "mmm corn", that'

Quality control is done by the users. If you don't like an image, rate it poorly, it will eventually get removed. Please feel free to upload images that you find interesting, the content on this site is provided solely by the users. If you don't like what's being uploaded, help out. Click here

Yeah, 'way back when' we tried to think of other names for the site, but stuck with what we had. There's a shocking lack of good domain names, and this name actually means something to those who started the site (check the 'about' link above). Besides, we're now a word in Google! Try searching for 'plus 613' with a space, for example. Lots of people know the name of the site, no point changing
Forum: Everything else / general chatter

I really don't know what to do about that one. It does disappoint me a little to look at the top rated gallery, and the first several pages are basically all porn. Yet if we start trying to control the content of the site far beyond removing crap/distasteful images then what's the point of the site? Maybe we'll have the option to turn on/off the 'adult' images in your browsing/random images se

Forum: Everything else / general chatter

Well one way around it would be simply to display the IP address of whoever posted the comment next to it. That would let you see who is who on the comments, but it would also remove a definite element of the anonymity of the site (which in some cases wouldn't be an altogether bad thing). I think the best way around it is to protect individual screen names by password IF you want to, but I'm n

Ditto what Darkklown said. If you don't like the images that are here, you can always add your own. With that said, there's been a rash of porn lately, and that's not really why this site is here. There's a million and one porn sites out there. It's fine occasionally, or if it's well done or whatever, but just generic porn for the sake of it is getting a bit old. The problem is we need more

I was tempted not to respond to this Let the conspiracy nuts go wild. plus613.com is the work of primarily three people. There's myself, revert and darkklown.

I think the best way would be to allow anybody to post as anything, however if you wanted to, you could password protect your account. The site was never designed to be as big as it is, there are a few things that need a bit of a rework.. we'll look into password protection.
