Update - will do the server move tomorrow morning JST so you can carry on posting and commenting at figure.fm without the fear of loosing anything. Within just a short time, figure.fm has grown into a bustling community of figure/gundam collectors with brilliant photos posted every day with a lot of press to boot. The photo above shows you the current home of figure.fm - running on a few mac Mini's in my cupboard. Will be moving figure.fm to some cloud servers in the US and are going to give SliceHost a whirl. We was going to initially use Amazon but bandwidth costs are much higher. Cloud servers are virtual machines which can be cloned and spawned in minutes/seconds. We will flick the DNS today so if figure.fm goes walkies for a bit then you know where. Keep an eye on my Twitter for updates. If you see posts or comments go missing then its because we missed your stuff just before the snapshot. Snapshot will be taken late afternoon today JST. You will know when you are on the new servers because Mirai-chan will say so. Screenshot of figure.fm users - top being the US with a healthy bunch of Japanese readers - although they prefer to read rather than contribute ^^; Ah, nearly forgot to mention that I announced the 3 Figure Giveaway winner. More giveaways around the corner.
