Seems Google Translates API is now a paid service for websites to use. ($20 per million characters.)
As Konachan's engine uses that API for the Comment translation feature, it's been disabled. This is a permanent change for the foreseeable future. Comment translation are not longer available.
In following with this, site policy is now changed regarding acceptable posted language(s). As per Shuugo's decision, preferred languages to post here are:
Comment Guidelines will be adjusted to reflect this change.

FYI:
iqdb, the service used for the Find Similar feature, has been moved onto another physical HDD on the server. It was apparently raping HDD I/O and affecting the site.It's a shared service (pretty much any 'booru with a find similar function uses it) so you can image the I/O throughput generated when several 'boorus access a single service continuously like that.
Site responsiveness should have shot back up.
If you experience any strange lag when anviagting the site and it last for a while, let us know in the Improve thread.
I think Shuugo mentioned iqdb has an effect on the CPU use as well, but I'm not sure about that detail. We're on/off optimizing performance on the new server, so please report any strangeness you encounter. (Be sure to note the symptoms, when it happened, for how long, and if it has been recurring.)
Server move complete.
We are back in Europe.
Please report how it is in the feedback thread forum #2033

Sorry for the downtime.
There was some corruption in the filesystem that was spreading that couldn't be ignored anymore.
Everything should be fine again and no data loss has occurred.

Konachan.com and Konachan.net will be joining a SOPA/PIPA protest the 18th.
We might be doing another one the 23rd if Google and other big sites finally protest that day too.
If the bill passes on the 24th expect to have some changes to the site.

Comment Area Clean-up
Due to persistent Comment Guideline violations, Shuugo is now retroactively purging comments that violate the guidelines.Previously, older comments were grandfathered in and allowed to stay as a courtesy. That decision seems to be backfiring. Users seeing those older comments apparently think they are still safe to make now. As such, a purge will now take place to remove that inadvertant misconception.
As of now and until the comments are cleaned up to the satisfaction of the Owner/Admin, comment flagging is disabled except for users of Contributor rank. This is to prevent false flagging of comments and streamline the clean for the time being.
All users of Contributor rank are invited and asked to help with the clean-up effort.
Simply flag any comments you see from any posts that violate the current guidelines. Comment posting date is no longer taken into account. (If you are unsure, flag the comment anyway; a mod will eventually get around to reviewing later on.) Special focus is asked for:- Simple "Like" comments with no additional content/explanations. (Rule 01, 1st half)
- "Dumb/useless" comments that provide no real content. (Rule 01, 2nd half)
- Comments in a language other than ENG or JPN without translations provided. (Rule 10)
Discussion of the clean-up effort will take place in the Improve Thread, forum #2033. I also have ideas to help organize the effort further. Please post in the Improve Thread if you are a Contrib and wish to participate.
Konachan.com and Konachan.net will be joining the ACTA and TPP protests this saturday.

Scheduled maintenance starting in 30 minutes. Will last about 24 hours. Probably less.
Sorry for the downtime. There might be some rough parts still that need to be cleared but they will be getting fixed in the next few days.
Clear cache before reporting anything broken.
Also be sure to stop by forum #2033 and give feedback about anything you might see.

We are aware of some bugs (similar search, forum links, counter...) and will be fixed later today.
For those who have realized/noticed it yet:
We have no problems with width.
Contributor are ask to now refrain from uploading these images sizes.
1000-1023 in width and 700-719 in height images are fair game for the gray-zone policy. Those are still at mod discretion.
I will announce when I plan on actually doing the purge as final warnings. Question and discussion about this decision are to be directed at forum #2033.
Kona was once again updated.
We're now on v3 of the Moebooru engine. Bugs are being worked on by Shuugp as we find them. Despite what the ticker says, please direct any bug reports to forum #16971.On an unrelated note:
I've spoken to Shuugo about the minimum res for keeping images on Kona. We've agreed the absolute minimum are:- Width - 1000
- Height - 700
We have no problems with width.
To Moderators:
Any image equal or less than 999px in width or 699px in height are to be deleted on sight for violating Minimum Resolutions.Contributor are ask to now refrain from uploading these images sizes.
1000-1023 in width and 700-719 in height images are fair game for the gray-zone policy. Those are still at mod discretion.

秀悟
over 1 year agoSSD broke, slow tech support, a terrible sysadmin (yes, that's me) and you mix all that and you get a weekend to forget.
Hopefully the site will be stable now. Also please report how's the speed on the improvement thread in forum #2033.
