There's some spicy database changes pending that should improve performance. SFX has mostly been running great, but we want to fix those few overload situations as soon as possible.
SoFurry will have a short downtime of an hour or two for maintenance to improve the general performance and stability.

My hobby is to add the word "metric" in front of imperial units.
Thanks to the metric pound they can never be sure if it's actually a thing or not.

We also have to resize the storage array from the beta sizing before going live, and fix a few other issues. But we're getting there!
Expect more news soon! We know it took a while but the goal is in sight! Thanks for sticking with us ❤️ [2/2]

We're in the process of fixing some important bugs before opening the site. SF2 users who never logged into SFX should now be able to recover their account if their password doesn't work (provided their email still works). [1/2]

I know we haven't been communicating enough about the recent progress in bringing #SoFurry back online - there's gonna be some updates in a few hours. We also have a dedicated sfx-discussions channel on Discord.

3) Backup server is up and running, has SF2 db loaded & working for the migration. This server will also get approx. $1000 worth of SSDs added once SFX is going.
4) Noticed the games changing every day on sofurry.com?

2) Firewall is almost ready, after some issues initially, it seems to work now. We're gonna do some more testing just to be sure, then send it to the data center.
If this firewall shouldn't work out, there is a fallback solution but that's an additional $1500 - which we try to prevent [2/3]

1) The SFX server gets moved soon. We've already received the neccessary network config information for the new data center. No concrete date yet, but we hope it's not much longer now [1/3]

Do you have any artwork that looks rubbish if blown up? Like #PixelArt? We got the solution for you! 🖼️❗
Use the #PixelPerfectDisplay option in our uploader, so artwork won't fill out the whole screen!
