Comm Dev Update-Mature Content Filter Revision

lolly:iconlolly: reports, December 7, 2007
As 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.

An Update from HQ

$spyed:iconspyed: reports, June 15, 2007
Hey 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

Just as long as you guys don't add video capabilities on deviantART...it's awesome that DivX has decided to make that investment. :)

Expanding operations of the site sounds like a plan! :#1:

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. :lmao:

I'm not sure if you're reacting to the numbers above, I assume you are. The 34-36 million numbers are true, but they are page views, not absolute unique visitors.

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.

Best,

Hope the co-location site is in a different earthquake zone. :)
