Comm Dev Update-Mature Content Filter Revision
$lolly
reports, Dec 7, 2007
reports, Dec 7, 2007As many of you know, the Mature Content filter was changed pretty drastically to an 18 and older system. This was necessitated by abuse of the system and was put in place as a stop gap measure while we gathered in depth opinion from the community as to what they desired to see in place, and from the artists who post such work.

It has been a while since I have released a proper Community Development Update, and that is due to a lot of different reasons. The primary one involves lots and lots of work behind the scenes! So read on to get a heaping helping of all things DA!

An Update from HQ
$spyed reports, Jun 15, 2007
reports, Jun 15, 2007Hey Everybody,
We accepted a small investment last week in deviantART that will help us facilitate expansion in several key areas.
So there's some exciting news!
The first thing that we're going to do is build out an additional co-location site, which is to say we're building a religious monument of nerd perfection. It will serve as our second co-location facility and bring a metric ton of additional hardware resources to the community.
The major positive side effects of this investment in equipment will be a resolution to the sluggishness of the site at peak times. We're also going to be making some much needed additions to the engineering horsepower at deviantART in order to complete various open projects.
Lastly, because I'm sure it will generate some questions, I'd like to correct some erroneous reports about deviantART traffic. MediaMetrics reports wildly conflicting audience metrics to what we see internally. According to Google Analytics, deviantART sees 15 million absolute unique visitors per month. This is closely verified by QuantCast which reports 14 million unique visitors to deviantART per month. We work closely with both of the groups, and do not work closely with MediaMetrics, so trust our answers, not theirs.
Peace,
-- Angelo

sounds like the money is going to good use, and quicker response time sure does sound great.

I can't believe that the report that dA was receiving around 34 million to 36 million visitors a day a few months back when it received a lot of complaints that people were unable to access the site during peak hourly usage.

34-36 million page views per day.
a unique audience of 15M people per month.
MediaMetrics is reporting 4 million, which is nearly 1/4th.
