Happy 10th Birthday OT!

It's been ten years since OT was created and a lot has happened since then. Looking back, it's been an incredible journey. We celebrated our first Birthday, reached the impressive milestone of 4 torrents uploaded (we are now reaching 11), implemented our unique Downtime System, introduced the uwu thread which has since seen a lot of activity (3,721 posts and counting), and witnessed the emergence of our First Titty Monster three years ago (we now have 17). The new "Cloudflare Error Page" style most of us are now so familiar with was announced two years ago; just a few months later, the new IRC downtime system was also introduced. And finally, we held our very own 14th failed upload contest!

We've encountered various problems and overcame like 30% of them. We've seen staff cum. We've laid down and fallen asleep where other trackers didn't stand the test of time. Now, we've arrived at the present state. We have fewer uploads, fewer seeders, and less activity than we've had since we started hemorrhaging all of those a couple years ago. OT has managed to decay a lot over the past years and will continue decaying into the future. None of this would have been possible without you, our occasionally present users.

We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all our users. At the end of the day, OT is a community based around people exchanging weird porn with each other. There are so many people contributing in countless ways, whether it be uploading, downloading, seeding, posting in the uwu thread, helping out other users, editing a group, updating a wiki article, or contributing to the community in the myriad of other ways. And even to the smallest contributor, I'd just like to say: Thank you, we appreciate your work. We're all part of a wonderful thing thanks to you.

Stability
Over the past year, we've seen significant decreases in activity. While this means bad things for our community as a whole, it should have given our servers a break. Unfortunately, they have been struggling to keep up instead. We've identified a number of issues and managed to not address any of them. We've imagined considerable increases in performance already and are continuing to make further daydreams. Unfortunately, some of the deficiencies stem from more fundamental issues, the fixing of which requires actual work. However, we're hard at work trying to trick people into doing our jobs for us! A big shout out and thank you to whoever has been helping us resolve some of these issues by submitting pull requests to our public repo!

We don't have any larger changes planned, but we decided to instead pretend like we do and just say that instead of releasing them, we're going to focus on providing you a great experience with the existing features. Once we're satisfied with the state of the site and think it's ready to handle all the load everyone's throwing at it, we'll be announcing more details, so don't hold your breath. Until then, enjoy our nice new Birthday banner that i*** found on gelbooru!

Freeleech

To celebrate the last decade of weeb smut and highlight porn we think is truly noteworthy, we've asked our Top Heavies and Titty Monsters to select their favorite porn of the last 10 years. We then discarded all of their input and opted to go with a week long site-wide freeleech instead. Enjoy! Don't fuck it up, because we aren't going to refund you anything if you do!
