The site has been moved to a server controlled by adelikat and myself. Please welcome your new overlords. We will shortly be including watermarks in all videos to buy "Nach" products. Enjoy the new monetization, and selling out of TASVideos.

No, we're going to be selling various medically intrusive operations at low cost. Also offer an underground to buy/sell body parts.

does this mean you'll change your forum rank to Overlord? Or Chancellor?

jimsfriend, that's a good idea, but you think you can somehow work dictator into it?

So good news. ShinyDoofy managed to implement something I was having trouble with the past few days. So a round of applause to ShinyDoofy. Hopefully we should be running much better now.

Considering I can actually get the site to load now, I'd say it's much improved :) Big thanks to everyone involved!

How come the site has been down for me since the moving, up until today ? DNS took 4 friggin' days to propagate ? Has it been down ? I'm quite sure lot of the site's audience had the same problem, and will come back shortly. Hey, glad to see you back guys.

The problem is that the available RAM is too low for the site to work properly (or at all, to be slightly more descriptive). Nach is currently reprogramming/reconfiguring parts of the site to consume less RAM so that we could go on as usual.

i don't really like that word. ChancellOverlorDictator. Dictator. Dictator Nach (rather than DrNach). DicTAStor. AdminDictator (rather than administrator duh). Site Dictator. bleh i still don't like this word. the rank of "Judge" should be all caps like JUDGE. edit Divinely Mandated Governor or Dictator Mogul General etc

Before people start correcting me, this is the information I received from adelikat several days prior, so I may have remembered parts of it wrong.

Wait, it's a shared server now? In the other thread Nach said something along the lines of it being a dedicated server. (Ok, I think he didn't say that, but he did say that the admins have full root access to the entire server, which would seem odd if it's shared and not dedicated.) Maybe I just got confused.

*applause* What did he actually do? I'm sorta curious.

Good job getting things running again guys, hopefully everything will continue be stable. Well done, insane coder, can I be the first to donate a kidney?

So we still have some things to fix, but I am happy to announce the site is up and running and looks like it will fit within the confines of the server. We did however have to upgrade to a more expensive server. Several people have been very generous and amazing with donations, and I want to thank all of them. It means a lot to me that people were willing to help out and make this transition happen. It means a lot to me. I intend to make a page with update information about the costs/donations info. Right now the operating cost is $40 for the server rental. We have received enough donations that I have paid for that server for 12 months plus have some money left over for next year. For TASvideos to continue to survive, it will require continuous donation money to trickle in. But for now, we are running at least :) There are still going to be a lot of little bugs around the site, some I may not know about it. At the risk of PM flooding, I am asking people to report any bugs they may encounter (give it a day or so before posting though, if it is a major one, it is probably being fixed).
It's hard to look this good. My TAS projects

What's that? You want the rank of Groveling Boor? You must be a bit of an idiot.
