The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I have some sad news to report.  Every single one of my pictures that I have put up on Mediafire are currently offline.  All of the screenshots, Fanart others submitted, photoshop edits, even the pictures of my cousin are gone.

I don't know what's up, but I am going to be sending an e-mail to Mediafire Support to find out what's going on.  I just hope it's a server error and that they are just fixing it.  However, if it is what's currently nagging me at this point, let's just say my next post that I give will be rather ugly.

Well, I got a message from Mediafire, and it's not anything to really worry about.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting MediaFire. While our development team is performing maintenance on some of our image servers, image previews will be unavailable for some images. The images can still be downloaded and shared, but the web-based preview will not work until this maintenance is complete. Currently the time estimate I have been given is several days, although that is subject to change. We apologize for the inconvenience that this is causing to both you and your clients.

Best Regards,

Karen
The MediaFire Team

So yeah, you guys can still download the images on my profile, you just won't get any previews of said images.

Hopefully this will all be fixed by the time I have my new connection in my new apartment. :)

Sounds like it's not to bad of a thing.  I hope it is a minor problem and soon it all works out for you.

That's good news. It's only a maintenance thing. I'm glad it's not a serious issue.
