| SO I tried to move my servers to a new data-centre today, but my host lost my rack rails, so the new host wasn't able to mount the server (old host just had them stacked on top of each other!). So I have some rails being mailed from the US via Fedex express, should be here on Thursday. I was able to... |

Sorry for the downtime of the site, there was a big clusterf**k with my host that took forever to resolve.
There will be another day of downtime probably next tuesday so I can move the servers to a new data-centre. This downtime will be planned though and should only be half a day. |

| I will try and look at both those issues this week, I was away for most of Feb. The Vive thing was just a quick fix to get the form to work. The old editor that was used no longer worked in modern browsers. |

CKA has always had ads, except the past year. CKA has never had the annoying pop-up or pop-under type ads.
Its not regular forum posters that generate most the revenue, its random search engine traffic. |

| Wow...$3,000 a year. That's a hefty sum to be coming out of your pocket... It's really my fault, Google has been blocked all year, I should have resolved this earlier. I was just too busy and lazy. I have made around $1000 from ads on other sites (Politwitter), some hosting fees and a generous mont... |

| Google lifted the ban on Canadaka.net ad-serving. So there are ads once again working. But we must remain vigilant to not most adult images. I'm still going through some posts from 10 years ago. But I had to remove ads from forum topic/post pages, this will greatly reduce potential revenue, but Its ... |

| I created another tool that scans all the posts in the forums for linked images and displays them 500 at a time. Clicking the image will goto the post. I've been weeding out some potential offenders today. canadaka.net/forums/postphotos_admin.php |

| Went through that queue, starting on the last page (36) and worked my way to page 32. Reported posts with images as I found them, most of them under "Moderation Request". Thanks, i went through all the reported posts. I also went through all 36 pages of that attachments viewing tool, but ... |

| I'm an archivist, I like keeping digital things, its our internet heritage! I've deleted hundreds of posts with photos tonight using Google Image search and the tool I linked above. Its simple stuff like this that I have to remove. Stuff you'd see walking down the street anyway on a billboard... sigh. |

| I created a script to view the uploaded forum file attachments (I have access to a delete link each image). canadaka.net/forums/attachments_admin.php (this will load 500 images per page so might be slow!) But so far all the examples Google have given are not even images hosted/upload to CKA, but are... |

| The "Babes" portion of the gallery (which contains no nudity) is removed and no ads displayed on photos from that gallery anyway (special code). In the last month the gallery got around 7,000 pageviews of the 38,000 total. The member photos section is closed down, it was pretty safe. But t... |

| because there was still the occasional weblink to the canadianhottie.ca in the forums, I have closed down that site, so it can't be used as a reason. I've filled 3 appeals now, each one they reject finding more obscure old content in the CKA forums. I am also looking at reducing the server costs, th... |

| Some of you might have noticed there has been no ads on CKA for over a year. The site has been making $0 from ad-revenue all year and the costs remain at over $3,000 a year. This has been coming out of my pocket. This is bad, I'm at the point of thinking about shutting it down. The reason there is n... |
