oh god how did this get here i am not good with computer (Update on server issues)
Here we go again. More server issues. Don’t worry, the current issues are not as a result of something fucking up or exploding. The main image server is simply full. While upgrade options might exist to give us a temporary reprieve, i have decided to go ahead and purchase a brand new server to host the entire site on. Right now there are separate servers for both Database/web/thumbs and images (Thank you Bad Dragon). Starting at the end of july we will be moving the entire site onto the one server which will hopefully give the site a more stable future. The reason it has to wait until the end of July is for financial reasons. The options we are looking into to maintain the entire site aren’t cheap so I need the time to get the money together to get this server up and running. It will be there or there abouts by the end of July.
As always Titanium, Warrior, Shish and I appreciate your patience in these dark times and if you have any further queries then dont hesitate to shoot me an email at wiiaboo [at] paheal [dot] net.
Also to all our Dutch friends, Veel geluk op zondag. HUP HOLLAND HUP.

Thank you. You guys do a tremendous service for the world by spending your time and hard-earned money on the silly/disturbing/arousing pictures on paheal. Without you and your tremendously important service, life as we know it could not exist.
Seriously, I mean it, you guys are great and we really appreciate all the hard work, time, and cash you pour into this site.

Nobody likes it but I believe its best to put more Promoter’s/ads on the site. just not popup ones, the one’s on the side are awesome.
I guess there’s not a lot of Support for toon pr0n out there. though WWOEC seams to do well.

Question: Is it normal for non-cached queries to slow as molasses on a January morning (i.e. usually pushing 30 seconds)?
I’m not sure if it’s related to the other server issues, because rule43’s been slow for me for months.
Here’s an example of slowness: http://rule34.paheal.net/post/view/492046
That image was on /post/list (“Took 18.53 + 4.11 seconds”, 108 cache hits (0 misses, naturally)–it’s lying, though, it loaded instantly for me).
That image (Took 23.04 + 5.58 seconds) loaded quickly, but another on the posts page (http://rule34.paheal.net/post/view/492014) has been loading for over a minute now.
Only way I’ve found to get pages to load is click, come back in a minute, click stop, click go, and hope it’s been cached.
Images themselves load instantly. Searches are pretty much impossible.
DaHentaiGuy said,
July 10, 2010 @ 11:13 pm
Does this this transition mean the site will be down? Might this transition result in loss of images already uploade, even after it’s up and ready to accept new uploads (mishap during file transfer to new server)? If so I should probably go now and download all the pictures I uploaded and back them up on my own computer until your new server is up and working properly.

You know what would help? You know all those idiot pictures where the only difference is a few pixels? And those tons and tons and tons of pictures of “drawn images of celebrities” that you wouldn’t know who they were if they weren’t labeled? And all the stupid pictures of Pokemon or pieces of celery or other such things with a penis poorly Mspainted?
Ban those things and you’ll probably cut the server storage needs by 70%.

Good to see things are getting resolved and I hope things go smoothly for you folks. I am curious if now would not be an excellent time to run some type of duplicate cleaner on the drives holding all of the images though. Lord knows, that no matter how many we mark as being dupes, there is always a new moron who posts the same stuff again and again. Although that might cause more problems than solutions.

One thing that would help is to find a few more volunteers that would clean the site of duplicate images and MS Paint porn
funzo said,
July 13, 2010 @ 3:05 am
if there was a way to eliminate the bad stuff (terrible shoops, traced celebrities, ugly CG, etc) it would help, but what criteria should be used? the voting system? I don’t know how much work it would be for the mods, but perhaps rule34 should implement an approval system? that would stop/clear out a big chunk of data no one cares about anyway.
as much fun as finding new anime girls to fap over is, I think we could delete any media property of Asian origin. most of it is available on danbooru/gelbooru/whatever already. it’s kind of assumed that any anime will have porn, sometimes even by the artists themselves, so it isn’t really the “wow I never thought I’d see that” type of thing that Internet Rule #34 is about… shows that have had wide English release (Robotech, Sailor Moon, DBZ) would be debatable, but purging the purely weeaboo stuff would help immensely
Freezer said,
July 13, 2010 @ 3:37 am
My thoughts on CG sets (and the unyielding hate those thoughts contain) are well known. So I’ll just add to the call for a donation button. We all know ads and donated server space will only go so far. Why not let those of us willing to pony up the odd $10 do so?
Slinko said,
July 13, 2010 @ 5:47 pm
It’s a well known fact that there’s nothing I won’t jack off to – I’ve jacked off to Order of the Stick for crying out loud – so keep all the MS Paint and shitty CG.
DaHentaiGuy said,
July 14, 2010 @ 2:23 am
Oops, I accidentally posted this elsewhere a minute ago, was on a story so old that nobody would see it. I meant it to go here.
Now if only Titanium would unban me from Rule34. You see, I tried to help contribute. I like the site and like contributing. I’ve posted nearly 20 pictures there. I decided now to help contribute by adding tags I deemed reasonable to the Otomedius pictures. But the admin didn’t think so, and banned me (this happened yesterday). Only later when I checked on my email did I see he had warned me about doing this (I’d added a lot of tags to other pictures before). I would have stopped doing this, if I’d read it before having my IP address banned from rule34.paheal.net. Unfortunately since I hadn’t checked my email before tagging more pictures, I got banned. Even worse, when I tried contacting the admin at staff@paheal.net to explain the situation, I got no response. I emailed him again, and my emails are still being ignored. I feel this is very unfair. I politely request that any other members of rule34.paheal.net who find my treatment unfair, that you members send emails to staff@paheal.net requesting that I (DaHentaiGuy) be unbanned from rule34.paheal.net
I thank all of you fellow members in advance.

NONE of the 10 or so proxy sites I’ve tried work with rule34.paheal.net
Even if I could do it, there’s 2 problems with it.
1: I couldn’t log in to my account DaHentaiGuy to post more pictures.
2: I’m trying to prove myself worthy of being UNbanned. Breaking the rules by trying to dodge the ban will NOT help my cause.
I’m just curious, did anyone ever take up my request and email staff@paheal.net about it yet? And also, does the admin Titanium ever view the blog?

I mean does he ever read the comments? I was hoping if he did, he might get my message that he never got in the email because he probably had deleted the email upon seeing it was from my email address, without even reading it.

July 15, 2010 @ 9:04 pm
DaHentaiGuy, sounds a lot like you attached tags to images without reading the F.A.Q on tagging or keeping to Paheal guidelines on tagging; and you probably did this on a lot of images. Intentional or not, the end result is tag vandalism and the admins have to put in work to correct your stupidity which could have been averted had you just bothered to abide by the Paheal norm.
When in Rome…
Mister Thankful said,
July 16, 2010 @ 9:19 pm
DaHentaiGuy, maybe you got banned because you’re an annoying pain in the ass? Calm down, don’t whine so damn much, don’t ask total strangers to do you favors for no good reason, and don’t take things so personally. Titanium is out of the country or something anyway. Just give it time. If it takes more than a month or two, email them again. In the meantime, why not channel your time into something productive, like learning to knit, or volunteering, or traveling to the remotest region of the Earth and building a giant stone bust of Lillian Gish?

But is was an honest mistake, and I didn’t really mean to post too many tags, just enough that people would be able to find the awesome stuff better than with the 2 or 3 tags most pictures had.

Pointing_Out_Why_You_Suck said,

It wasn’t an ‘honest mistake’, it was stupidity. And persistent stupidity at that.
The first time you fucked up the admins probably sent you a message. The fact you don’t check your account messages is YOUR fault. Persisting at it in the face of that warning? They might have sent you an email. The fact you don’t check your email is YOUR fault. Missed all the messages in the Tweet space about checking tagging norms? YOUR fault for missing them. Hell, and if you think it wasn’t you fault for missing that stuff, and you’re stupid enough to need a message that smacks you in the face to tell you how to do stuff, how about the message “New to Paheal?
First time uploading? Please read the rules and FAQ first!”
And another thing. Chicks exist in real life too. If you can’t get a girl and your best friend can, it’s time to move your body… but please move it elsewhere.
DaHentaiGuy said,
July 23, 2010 @ 12:11 am
Actually they DID send a message when I first started over-tagging. But I didn’t know it, and therefore had not known that the ammount I was tagging actually was too much. I only learned of the message when I stopped tagging, and after a few minutes of JUST BROWSING the site, a message popped up saying I’m banned, blocking me from even continuing JUST BROWSING! Immediately after the ban I checked my email to see WHAT ON EARTH was going on. I found the warning message then! DOHHH!!!!!!!!! If only I’d checked the email sooner, I’d have seen the warning and stopped! That was the mistake, not knowing I was doing anything that might even get a warning, and thus not checking my email for a warning.

“Actually they DID send a message when I first started over-tagging. But I didn’t know it,”
Isn’t that what I just said, and isn’t that why it’s your fault? If you’re planning on an argument, at least read what I’m taking the time to goddamn write.
“That was the mistake, not knowing I was doing anything that might even get a warning”
And didn’t I write about that, too? The administators gave you every chance to learn what you were doing. You just assumed you knew what the rules were, carried them out on a shit-ton of images, caused a hell of a lot of work for the admins, and now you want to be unbanned because you chose not to read the rules, which were freely available to you. I don’t see any logic.
DaHentaiGuy said,
July 24, 2010 @ 4:31 pm
Yes a ban would be usual for breaking rules, but not such a LONG ban (that is so long it might as well be a permaban). I would expect this if it was the 5th time I’d been banned, or if it was a MAJOR offense like posting real CP. But it was a relatively minor offense, and it was only my first ban on the site. Yet I was banned until 2038. That seems a MAJOR penalty where it is absolutely NOT deserved. I’m not disputing the ban entirly, just the nature of it. And I’m also disputing that I’ve been unable to get a reply from the admin Titanium when I email him, to discuss the VERY thing that I’m posting about now in the blog. Trust me, I don’t want to waste blog space with this. But the admin isn’t replying to ANY of the emails I’ve sent him.

@ dahentaiguy
your a fucking moron if you really need 2 fap that badly go to another site. You say you post because your emails aren’t being answered but this blog is even less likely to get answered so stop your bitching. Just except that its YOUR fault that you didn’t read the rules even tho the admins sed over 10000 times to read them i only wish you were permabanned so rule34 wont have to deal with your shit in 30 years
DaHentaiGuy said,
July 25, 2010 @ 9:43 pm
That’s the scary thing. A lot may change in 30 years, and I might even be married by then, and if so my wife wouldn’t want me looking at a site like this. There were just a FEW MORE pictures I wanted to fap to that I felt I should fap to before I die. But while looking for these pictures I was banned. I wasn’t even in the act of tagging when I got banned. I was just looking for a few more pictures to fap to. And I was planning on fapping to a few more anime rule34 pics before I started to look for a real woman to marry. But now with this delay, I’ll have to wait 30 more years, until I can fap to a few more rule34 pics before I can even consider the idea of looking for someone to marry. In other words, the admin here has just SIGNIFICANTLY altered the plans I had FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!!!

Oh wow I thought that guy had just made an honest mistake ( that’s why I suggested proxy servers), but it seems he is completly retarded, I bet he was tagging by content as well lol. ( by the way, I didn’t mean shitty proxy websites.)
