The Cost

Alright,

Unlike a lot of sites, I want the cost and administration to be pretty up front here.

I just ordered sizebooru a server, it's $100 even per month, its a Core 2 duo based system with a fair bit of ram, and enough bandwidth to keep things happy.

Right now we really over utilize our current system, we're averaging over 30 accesses/sec, about 60-120+ queries/sec, 5-8mbit bandwidth, 500+gb/mo, but the current rate is more like 700-800gb.

Sizebooru now costs $1200 a year to run minus backup space fee's.

Again, nobody makes money at this, not looking to turn a profit here, in fact, we can't, we don't want to.

Without donations and other sources of support, sizebooru will not continue to exist a few months down the road, but we don't want you just throwing money at us willy nilly either.

Please consider the cost of the site, in finances and in personal time when you make use of it.

Thank you.
