Interesting concept for sure. What's the tech behind this?

Hello. It's almost exclusively a nodejs + redis stack.

There are currently a little over 200 people on the page and moderating the site is taking most of my attention, I'll try to answer all questions in this thread anyways.

For those at work, there's quite a bit of stuff not tagged nsfw. Tread with care.

How are you handling piracy on the site? Surely that must be an issue. I see some torrents are being uploaded.

You did a great job with this. I got a couple 502s viewing files but it works really well so far.
