Hi, Sandra here  Nice to meet y'all.

Hello FP. I do not have good news to share.

Multiple things are breaking all at once, and the most likely reason is because the server that FP runs on has completely run out of space.

Why did FP run out of space? Root cause has not been identified, but it most likely has something to do with Old FP. The space it takes up suddenly ballooned and we do not yet know why.

We may need to wipe Old FP entirely. Will this affect the import? Most likely yes because that is where the old images are imported from.

Some people have reported SQL errors. Others have reported that they cannot log into FP at all.

In a few days we will have completed making a copy of the old site so none of the data is lost, and begin to look into what the hell happened and what we can do about it.

In further unfortunate news - there is no way to 'upgrade' the server. The server host does not have that functionality. We would need to buy a new server (at their new, higher prices) and then do another migration.

Not having answers is worse than having bad answers, so I will update in a few days when I learn more.

Hello everyone! I am very new due to the fact that I've never been on a forum like website and being apart of a fetish board at all. Not really sure what else to say but I hope we all get along!

I have installed a plugin that seems to have fixed spoilers. Please let me know if anything isn't working right.

Multiple people have asked about the import of the Porn Basement section of the forum. Due to bandwidth and other issues that were determined prior to the implementation of the new forum, the Porn Basement section was eliminated from the import process. There are no plans to import the Porn Basement or replace it at this time.

Hello Futanari Palace,

First, happy Valentines day! May your futanari love throb brilliantly.

A few updates are in order.

1) Thank you for enduring the first month and a half of the new site in its very basic form and eye-searing Light Mode. Out of an abundance of caution, I placed a moratorium on making significant updates or installing plugins until the attachment import was completed. Unfortunately, the attachment import was not successful - but we learned a lot and are now confident that our second attempt using a new method will allow us to make other site updates without screwing up the attachment issue further.

2) Thank you for everyone who reported issues, logged problems, offered suggestions, and shared recommendations and advice. Keep doing that. I, the administrators, and the technical team will be testing out solutions and improvements over the next few months. Some changes may arrive faster than the others because of how simple or complicated they may be to implement.

3) https://old.futanaripalace.com/ will continue to function as a read-only archive, and all the attachments from old threads should still be there and working fine. Any content missing from here will likely be found there. This includes forum sections or subsections that were not ported over, either for structural reasons or content reasons.

4) https://www.patreon.com/FutanariPalace continues to be the best way to support the site and has made all of this possible. Currently, I am investigating the cost of server upgrades and space upgrades and will share my findings if there will be any significant cost increases. Again, THANK YOU to everyone who is supporting Futanari Palace, this place is community-funded (and community run!)

5) Registration of new accounts was turned off in late November because of spambots. I will be reactivating new registration shortly. Please feel free to spread the perverse word of Futanari Palace and corrupt your friends and loved ones with the passion that brought you here in the first place.

6) New moderators, new administrators, and new technical staff positions will become available. Policing the community hasn't been an issue for a long time - it's mostly about guarding against spambots or attacks, or being both knowledgeable and trustworthy enough to push buttons on back-end control panels to activate features or change settings. Someday, even my role as site owner will transfer to someone else who can grow the community better than I can.

Thank you for being a part of this community and tolerating the (deliberately) slow changes. The lack of explosions and downtime make me feel justified in the approach we've taken to giving you a new and better place to be.

Much love,
Echoen

Members,

Our attempt to import the attachments into the new forum has failed. We are currently working on an alternative means to import attachments. We do not have a timetable regarding how long this will take.

As this is a known issue, please refrain from making further reports bout attachment issues. We will update everyone as circumstances develop.

I cant see attached files in new forum style . What am i doing wrong.

Folks,

We are aware of the issue regarding the attachment file size. The setting is easily adjusted, but the staff is holding off until the final bugs are worked out of the attachment import process. Once these bugs are worked out, the strict limit will be lifted. Thank you for your patience.

Tbh, I'd nearly forgotten about this place. I was getting fed up with another community I was part of, and decided to check this place out again a few weeks ago. Seeing the plans for renovation was like a sign, lol.

When I was here previously it was as an amateur artist, and I plan to do so again. I haven't really improved in that span of time, because I have no innate talent and I don't practice enough. Weirdly I don't have much motivation to draw unless it's NSFW, and there are very few places for me to post that kind of thing (and furry porn wasn't really my first choice, but that's what I've been drawing infrequently for the last few years), so it's good to be able to get back to what I wanted to do in the first place.

Who knows, might even dust off my writing quill, but I might be getting ahead of myself, there.

Anyway, it's good to be back, and here's to a fresh start on a fresh site!
