Read MoreAt A Crossroads for Image Hosting
We started doing Image Hosting, and honestly it’s been quite a hit. We’ve had lots of use, and very little abuse. So far we’re at about 550 Gb worth of images, which is incredible. Thank you to everyone for participating. In anticipation of us moving to both image and video hosting, we started some research and […]
Read MoreEmbracing Original Works
First of all, I’d like to ask anyone who’s gotten access to do tag wrangling here on SquidgeWorld – we’re still flailing from the AO3 downtime. We’ve got over 10,000 tags between Characters, Relationships, and Freeform tags still yet to be wrangled. And if you’re interested in being a wrangler, let us know! Second, we […]
Read More“OMG YOU’RE A FASCIST” and other adventures in modding SquidgeWorld
Because this is going around Tumblr, I thought I would address the issue. An assertion by an individual on Tumblr is going around calling me/Squidge/SquidgeWorld a fascist organization that deletes works with no cares or such. That we’re power hungry, etc.. Is there truth in this? If you know BOTH sides and not just the […]
Read MoreImage Hosting + SquidgeWorld
First off, SquidgeWorld didn’t fully come up this morning, but that’s because we’ve been working on Squidge Images. Our new anti-bot software didn’t start as it was supposed to, but that has been found and corrected. So SquidgeWorld is up and running now. Squidge Image Hosting went through an upgrade this morning and everything is […]
Read MoreREMINDER: Squidge Images GOING DOWN
In just under an hour from the time of this post (at 08:00 Sunday Morning Pacific Time) Squidge Images will go down for an upgrade. No official ETA on when it will be back up, but hopefully this afternoon. Need a reminder why? Read the original post.
Read MoreSquidge Images – PLEASE READ!
Two very updates for Squidge Images. The first update is we have opened up signup access for Squidge Images. Instead of having to leave us a ticket for an image hosting account, we have decided that it’s been long enough, and the folks who were abusing image hosting have most likely moved on. So all […]
Read MoreSquidgeWorld – DOWN
From what I can tell, we were subject to some sort of attack that crippled the SquidgeWorld server. As such, we’ve banned the offending IP addresses that were sending thousands of requests per second (designed to overwhelm the server and bring it down), and have re-started the server. We went down about 11:30am Pacific Time, […]
Read MoreImage Hosting + FenRecs.com Status
In the last couple of weeks our image hosting seems to be being taken over by porn hosting and such. Everyone should know that we are here for fandom – whether that is NSFW or not. So yes, we allow nude images and such. But we seem to have been taken over by a few […]
Read MoreFenRecs.com – Transition of Service
For those who have been using FenRecs.com – Squidge.org’s fanworks recommendation site where you can rec your favorite fandoms, stories, pairings and such – thank you! We’ve been going strong and sharing recommendations, which is what’s needed in the fandom community. Our host provider for FenRecs.com is shutting down in less than a month. As […]
Read MoreSquidgeWorld Status
The SquidgeWorld Archive came back up successfully a few hours ago – but I was too focused and enraged on what’s going on in the world instead of sending out an “up” notice like I normally do. So my apologies if anyone was waiting for me. Basically, it was my own fault. I changed a […]
