Introducing Catbox Spaces! + Server Upgrades!

Hi there!

As we approach Catbox’s 10th birthday (jeez I’ve been at this for a while.), I wanted to share something I’ve been working on in sort-of secret last year - Catbox Spaces!

Catbox Spaces

Catbox Spaces is a new, paid service I’ve b...

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope you all have had not just a great Christmas, but also a great year. I know Catbox has! I'm looking forward to the things we can do in the new year!

That being said, the company I ordered Catbox's Christmas Cards from (I started to send some out to companies & people we work/partner with as of last year) sent us ...

Hello everynyan! How are you? Fine thank you.

2024 is drawing to a close, and as such I wanted to run an end of year poll to see how everyone is feeling. Plus, there's a bunch of cool statistics about Catbox in there, like number of users, total uploads, and more!

Alternative Support Method

Hey everyone! It's been quite a while since the last time I posted on Patreon. The blog has had a few update posts since then as well, but nothing too major has been going on...

Some of you may have taken the recent end-of-year poll that was featured on the front page of Catbox for a while, and one of the questions was "On a scale of 1-10,...

Regarding the recent slowness/500 Errors

Hey there,

I just wanted to make a post about the recent errors some people may have been experiencing on Catbox when uploading a file. You may receive various errors, including a 504 Timeout, 500 Internal Server Error, or ID A:FF:FFFFFF. The root cause of these issues is primarily traffic and throughput.

What's been done rec...

Happy 5th Birthday Catbox

Helloooo~.

First and foremost, wow I'm over 2 weeks late for the post. I'm actually pretty ashamed.

More importantly, the earth has completed another revolution around the sun, and Catbox grows another year older. This year was pretty sleepy. I know in the previous birthday post I abandoned the redesign, but that wasn't true. I've ac...

Happy 4th Birthday Catbox!

As always, thanks to the wonderful Pettankon for the art!

Another rotation around the sun, and another year for Catbox! 2018 was kind of crazy! Being forced from my origin...

$7 Sticker Reward heads-up

For those of you who are in the $7 and up tiers, Patreon may be asking to submit your billing/shipping information in order to receive your reward. I honestly have no idea what it's going to ask, or if it's even going to ask at all, but I wanted to give you a heads up before you're charged. If you're international, don't worry! You'll still get ...

Budget updates + Trello for Patrons

お久しぶりです~!

It's been a while since my last update. To tell the truth, I've been kind of lazy... I've also got some good and bad news.

Starting off with the bad news, because I'm sure that's what everyone wants to see first: Catbox's operating costs have changed by quite a bit. Due to bandwidth limitations (Catbox was cappin...

Colocation updates - Growing pains

Hey everyone. It's been a pretty tough week - but everything is okay!

As some of you might have noticed, Catbox was a little wonky last week, and that's because I finally switched us over to my own hardware. In a data center. In LA. So besides the fact that on the Monday I drove into downtown LA, circled around the building for about 20 minutes t...

Colocation - It's finally happening!

After many months in development, hopefully it's worth the wait!

I've finally purchased all the necessary hardware and found myself a colocation company in LA with reasonable prices, and have sufficient support (from you guys!) to move forward with it. While the initial cost is high, I'm confident that this will put Catbox on the right path for l...

New Stretch Goals

A little explanation on my new stretch goals for Patreon:

Reaching $200 would offset both the current monthly cost of running Catbox ($100~), and allow me to purchase new server hardware, which I can then colocate at an Internap datacenter for $100/month, effectively matching my current costs, while giving me greater flexibility and power. I coul...

Second Goal Met!

ほんとに、ほんとにありがとうございました!

Reaching the second goal means that the server will be paid for completely. Which means a lot, especially now that I've started college and just dropped a lot on it. Don't worry though! I'm working on things as I type this, like better sorting, quicker page loads, some new features t...

Thanks everyone! Even covering half the bill means a lot to me!
