SBP Returns The good news, is that SBP has returned! The bad news...well read on. The reason the site keeps going down is a mixture of overuse of bandwidth and overuse of database space. We are a victim of our own success. So many people are using the site that we have too much traffic, and for what I am paying now, I can't keep it up. Therefore, I will have to make some cuts to the site. For starters, the Oekaki has been taken down until further notice. It was hogging all of the bandwidth, and as cool as it was, I could make an Art Contest on the site that would be even more enjoyable.
The other thing I am going to do is start making some real money off of SBP, so we can actually buy more bandwidth and database space, because no matter how many cuts we make, the site is growing so large that we'll just keep going over. So I am making a nifty donation system where you can buy 'Donation Credits' and cash them in for rare items, pet resurrections, one of a kind items, and special avatars. I should have this all up later today, or sometime tomorrow. Remember, every dollar you give will help us stay up longer. Donating is not required, and never will be, but if you want to see the site stay alive, we need money.
Also, people seem to be forgetting the Online Store. I understand that some of you younger kids are not allowed to buy stuff of of there, but many of us are. Everything I buy from there is super high quality and really cool. We get money from every purchase you make, 20% to be precise. That may not seem like much, but it really adds up quickly. The other 80% goes into production. The prices may seem a bit high, but it is no different than donating twenty dollars to the site, and also you are advertising for us (in a cool way I must add).
So yeah, this is one loooong news post, but I just want everyone to know I am working to solve this problem and that you, the users of SBP, can help.
