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.

Scheduled Downtime June 24th

Scheduled Downtime



On Sunday, June 24th at 2 AM PST we will be experiencing 10-30 minutes ( roughly ) of site downtime. We will be in the process of increasing our bandwidth which means faster site speed for all of us! :w00t:
In the process we will be switching some IP’s around so if you have a DNS cache that ignores TTLs the site may appear to be down for much longer, so in that event you may wish to try flushing your DNS cache. If this makes no sense to you, it probably is nothing to worry about. :)

And if you wish to flush your DNS anyway ( and who wouldn't ) here is how as explained very concisely by =dancewiththesky ( good advice! )

To flush DNS cache,

- For people using Windows, go Start > Run. Type cmd and press Enter. Then in the black box that will appear, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Enter. Close the box.

- For people using dnsmasq on Ubuntu or any other GNU/Linux distro, restart the daemon. In a terminal, type sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq restart .

- People using OS X (I never tried this, I just looked it up,) open a terminal and type lookupd -flushcache .

- For people who are using Firefox DNS (as explained in [link] ), simply restart the browser.

This will not interrupt or otherwise damage your browser in any way.
