I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Head of Community at Sketchfab.

  1. Great, we have new servers.
    Now how about listening to Andrew Price and redoing the old website.
    His designs were spot on.
    Blender time to promote this great software properly!

  2. Wow, I thought servers for websites were usually.....biggger? Do website servers use loads of off the shelf regular hard drives or do they use special server based hard drives with ridiculous capacity?

  3. Would you mind lending one of those servers to blenderartists.org? They seem to be having a lot of trouble lately :(

    Let's lend some server power to blenderartists -- the withdrawals I've been experiencing today have been PAINFUL. Almost 24 straight hours without visiting the forum. HELP!!!!!!

  5. Nerd alert... as if ANY article on Blendernation needs a nerd alert. That would be like themoviespoiler.com labeling every article as "spoiler alert".

  6. @benu i feel ya!!! omg there will be many angry threads on blenderartists tomorrow i guarantee you! (if they are back online tomorrow)

  7. so there is a relation between these new servers and the lack of connection between Blenderartists.
    i'm now sure i'm not the only one that got the following message:
    were sorry, but blenderartists.org is currently unavailable, please close the current webpage.

    I was joking when I said that this might be the reason why BA is down since some days.

    And you are not alone - it is down.
