February Update

[Echoen]

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
