Server Migration: "new server, who dis?"

@RainbowDash69  
Ponibooru was best known for being full of spam, racist comments, spam, shit tagging, spam, no sourcing, dupes, more spam, and 2 minute loading times. It was an innovator that then turned to garbage and eventually died, let it rest.

@The Smiling Pony
 
I can’t believe there are still some people trying to revive the old Ponibooru.

@Jarkes  
After everything else is gone, only the love survives.
 

@Ciaran
 
…That seems suspiciously like it should be spoilered for Rule #7 reasons.

Hey, at least you’re giving us the heads up now instead of dropping this on at the last minute. And take as much time as you need for this transition.

@The Smiling Pony  
I don’t see anything wrong with that, sorry. it didn’t have as many moderators as you have and it was like 5 years ago.

@Jarkes  
sorry it seemed that way. I was merely joking about deciding a name…
 
derpi is the best name, since derpy can be considered the mascot of the fandom :)

@Jarkes  
Ghost was rated PG. And these days it’d be rated G.
 
 
@RainbowDash69  
People that remember PB fondly either only heard stories of it, have selective memory, or were part of a “core crew” of users that memed between themselves. I was there from start to finish, I even donated money to keep the place running. hell, this site was made as a proof of concept for eco to move from shimmie to something less-bad, but keep PB as PB (which, you know, he turned down and opted to let the place choke on itself and die).

I hope we don’t have to migrate to a new ponibooru like site.
 

 
 
Again.

@Joshua  
No, Joshua. The site goes read only for a little bit, then everything carries on as usual but faster.

@The Smiling Pony  
you guys need to advertise this as 20% faster ;)

@RainbowDash69  
We’ve never advertised the site, and I doubt we ever will.
 
(outside of the two months we tried to get people to actually test it back when it launched…)

@The Smiling Pony  
I mean on the top of the site, on the banner once the migration is finished.

With all respect to Celestia, I for one welcome our new moon goddess-named server overlord.

@RainbowDash69  
Man how did I miss that? Updated.

@Jarkes  
It’s mostly there to post stuff we can’t post here.  
Which reminds me of something I been meaning to ask for a while now: Is there any particular reason for hosting the servers on the land of strong cheese?

@Deserter  
DMCA doesn’t apply (without the applicant hiring an actual lawyer) and EU internet infrastructure is about 2-3 decades ahead of the US, meaning bandwidth is significantly cheaper.

@The Smiling Pony  
As in, free.

@The Smiling Pony  
Yeah, don’t having to deal with the DMCA is a damned good reason.

@Deserter  
>completely ignores the cost aspect
 
Guys, your loli fetish really isn’t a thing I care about.

@The Smiling Pony  
I dunno, I’ll put not dealing with US Copyright Laws a little higher than server costs.

@Deserter  
“I’ll”
 
I’m sorry, I didn’t realize you were paying for the site’s upkeep. Good on you!

@The Smiling Pony  
I meant “I’d”, not “I’ll”.

@The Smiling Pony  
Oh, okay.

Pretty daring operation to do just a few days before christmas. What could possibly go wrong?
 
…
 
Just kidding. It’ll go just fine, like the previous server changes.
