Our main edge server appears to have been destroyed in a fire at the hosting company's datacenter. The site's database is not hosted at this location and therefore is unaffected by this unfortunate event.
Unfortunately the core server for both the Jerking and Fapping imagehosts were also at this datacenter and the fire occurred approximately 23 hours after they had performed their last backup, thus we have lost those images.
Sources tell us that no hamsters were harmed during the fire.


One of our public facing servers stopped working. (Almost) no data has been lost, we're working on restoration. Might take a few days.

Our tech team has made good progress in restoring services. Same for the planned maintenance work we're performing at the same time.
We still estimate the downtime to continue for a few days.

Server Error: Hardware Failure

Error loading page




We have experienced a hardware failure resulting in what we call a TITSUP situation (Total Inability To Sustain Usual Perversion).
We are working as quickly as we can to restore site functionality.

It might be several days before we are back online.
But in the meantime have a cupcake!

You can always find us on IRC, connect at irc.digitalirc.org (SSL port 6697) on #empornium or use the webchat.

We're slowly resuming operations, we're starting with the website, available under

www.empornium.is (preferred) and www.empornium.sx for now


We have restored the site on the empornium.is and empornium.sx domains, empornium.me will take a little longer. The tracker should also start to come back online shortly.
We expect the imagehosts to take considerably longer to restore, possibly next week but it may take even more time.
Thank you for your patience and support during this difficult time.
