For those at work, there's quite a bit of stuff not tagged nsfw. Tread with care.
Thanks, I was worried about that:)
Cool idea though, once it's a little more structured, that could be helpful.

#32You should probably block EXE files for the safety of your users.

#33Interesting 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.

#34The 12-hour lifespan of content links is interesting; it prevents indexing or hot-linking content on the site. Even if the RIAA/MPAA/etc. set up bots watching the room and issuing takedowns for infringing files, the time allowed to comply with a DMCA takedown is greater than the lifespan of a file on the service. In other words: this should be fun, until they get sued out of existence.
Problem is upstream will either charge for handling take-down requests, null route the IP, or ask that they take their business elsewhere. I can imagine this generating dozens of abuse requests a day. It doesn't matter if you auto-comply within 12 hours - upstream still has to put time figuring things out.

#35Nice concept, looks like 4chan may have gotten a hold of this one.
Or the HN community has some crossover with the 4chan one.

Feature Request: Host on infrastructure outside of the US. EDIT: DISREGARD. It's already hosted outside the US. (Germany: https://www.ip-projects.de/ )
We (ehrm, I) are based in Germany, along with all servers.

#39This thing will explode. Get ready to monetize or shut it down :) Easy thing you could do is rate limit transfers by default and offer higher bandwidth with a small bitcoin payment.
