### "Rainbow dash! All the way across the sky!"

## Hosting by admin - 02/27/11 03:26 PM PST #

You've probably noticed that our website has been *hiccuping* as of late. The fact of the matter is, traffic has been growing at a rate faster than anybody expected, and it shows no sign of slowing down. Our current host just can't keep up anymore. We hope to move to a better server in less than a week.
But hosting a site this size isn't cheap. It's beginning to look like we may have to start accepting donations in order to keep Ponychan running smoothly. We realize this is a touchy subject, and it is not a decision we are taking likely, but the fact of the matter is we simply cannot afford to keep this place running otherwise.
Don't feel pressured, but if you want to contribute to this site in a tangible way, any donations would be much appreciated. All funds received will go directly towards keeping the site online and functional.
Thanks,
Ponychan staff

## Why only JPEGs? by admin - 02/24/11 09:57 PM PST #

Well, we've suffered our first data loss... you might have noticed a few images are missing. Here's what happened:
- I clicked on a link to clean unused images.
- The software deleted the unused images, and all *.jpg images, for some crazy reason. Other image types are unharmed.
- I am never clicking that link again.
I have a backup from a few days ago, and it's uploading as we speak. I also set up a nightly backup, just in case.
Also, I am never clicking that link again.

This site's traffic has exploded over the past two weeks, and things haven't been very organized. So over the next few days, there's going to be a major overhaul of how the site is run -- we'll be adding FAQs, writing the unwritten rules, posting stickies, adding boards, etc.
So if you have any ideas for the site, now is the best time to tell us. There's a discussion going on over in >>/meta/474.

Nobody actually reads these posts, do they?

First of all, a message to the spammers who have inevitably followed us:

I gave us pony lovers another place to hang out besides your chan. If you ruin this for us, we'll have no place left, and your chan will be the only place left to go.

You wanted us gone. So why would you follow us when we leave?

In other news, I heard that anonponies are feeling unwelcome here. That's a damn shame. I didn't make this site to divide the community, I made it to bring us together. You're welcome here whether you use a name or not. Those posting with one like being recognized, and those posting without one like the freedom. But we're all still bronies, just the same.

In other news, I threw together a quick Twilight theme. Like it? Hate it? Want more? Tell me.

## News, you say? by admin - 02/08/11 11:49 AM PST #

Right now this is just a basic setup, but I definitely plan on working on the site. For example, instead of the default futaba/burichan themes, I'll create twilight/rainbow/pinky/etc themes. I'll try not to make the rainbow one look terrible.

Also, for the newbronies, Here are some links:
