Figure.fm Server Move
Update - will do the server move tomorrow morning JST so you can carry on posting and commenting at figure.fm without the fear of loosing anything.
Within just a short time, figure.fm has grown into a bustling community of figure/gundam collectors with brilliant photos posted every day. The photo below shows you the current home of figure.fm - running on a few mac Mini's in my cupboard ^^;
Will be moving figure.fm to some cloud servers in the US and are going to give SliceHost a whirl. We was going to initially use Amazon but bandwidth costs are much higher.
Cloud servers are virtual machines which can be cloned and spawned in minutes/seconds.
We will flick the DNS today so if figure.fm goes walkies for a bit then you know where. Keep an eye on my Twitter for updates.
If you see posts or comments go missing then its because we missed your stuff just before the snapshot. Snapshot will be taken late afternoon today JST.
Screenshot of figure.fm users - top being the US with a healthy bunch of Japanese readers - although they prefer to read rather than contribute ^^;
You will know when you are on the new servers because Mirai-chan will say so.
Nice. :D
And of course the US is over 25% of your traffic! lol. (I actually expected more, this is pretty interesting.)
Ha, take that, you Americans, always thinking yourselves the centre of the world! ;)
Just kidding.
...*waves little Canadian flag*
cool. makes sense moving to some real servers. any downtime from now will be the server guys headache now. also since most of the traffic is from the states the bandwidth to dc.com will free up considerably i suppose (if its still on your mac minis in your home)
Wow, the US take the biggest piece of the cake ^^
Awesome! Guess I'll have to put off my 0 Gundam post till your finished^^
Haha, Malaysia takes a generous 4th place too. Not bad. ^^
Great we are the second latin american coutry!!!
Chile 9th place!! Viva Chile!!!
figure.fm is one of my fav sites now! ^^
oh that's a lot of japanese... must start to write in japanese too ^^;
that's because danny keep doing the giveaway contest lol
Perhaps you should show us top contributed countries... XD
Good luck with the move, hope nothing messes up.
Woo, Go UK. In 7th place!!!
Surprised by the number of japanese users tho. I thought the chart would look like the countrys defence budget spending, with the US having more users than the rest of the top 10 combined...
I thought China would be about 5-7%
Maybe DC is censored or blocked.
I'm amazed that Germany beats France.
Interesting stats - most useful.
Increased picture cap per post for the win =3
Belgium 20th place ^^;
Nice chart! Didn't expect so many Spanish speaking countries in it, since i haven't seen users in puchi blurbs or news post...
Scroll down a bit more for the Netherlands D:
Then again, I only know sure of 2 Dutchies here. Myself included |D
Brunei...the forgotten XDDD
