Sup peoples.
I upgraded our bandwidth today, so now we have 35 GB of bandwidth to go around instead of the usual 15 GB we were using earlier.
This means that the site won't go down towards the end of the month like it has been for the past couple of months.
This also means that I'll be able to add much, much more content to the site since we now have the bandwidth to support it.
One thing though. I just moved and don't have a stable internet connection yet, so don't expect to see anything big until this September.
Also, my birthday's in September(on the 9th, or 9/9, the same release date as the Sega Dreamcast), so if you want to get me something swanky, by all means start saving those food stamps now(I'm partial to fruit pies, specifically apple.).
Um...
Oh yeah, and the Viper gif galleries will be making a comeback. The last thing I was uploading before I moved were Viper hentai doujinshi, so expect to see them in September if not earlier. I'll be uploading Viper Anthology Comics 1-5, and a few other assorted Viper hentai doujinshi, including Way of the Viper by Graf Zeppelin.
I also acquired two extra copies of Variable Geo hentai doujinshi anthologies, which I'll later scan and upload once everything else if finished. As we're starting to grow, blah, blah, blah...
In short, a special thanks to everyone for helping making this site awesome, for it is with you that in the essence that we and can in the present party hard in a rocking fashion. Thanks.
Post comments and shout outs.

Pretty awesome HG. Thanks for the... uh... thanks. ^_^
Happy birthday HG. I might send you somethin... i dunno ...
I'll see what i can do with teh net. bye!
-
i'll take responcability for the last time the bandwidth ran out
(i posted a link to the gallery as THE source for all things viper on another board, and this one was out of bandwidth within 15 minutes of my post)
*sheepish grin while he awaits the flaming*
-
Actually, me and Baka! were posting like all hell and HG had hosted something or other (mabe uploaded some pics or somethin', can't remember), so it wasn't just you...
-
Hey Hyper Guy, I too have all five of the Viper comics on my laptop. If you want I can upload em if I had access <.<;
Of course I would be worried about the immient destruction afterwords if word leaked out there was a faster way to get them that .de site.
*mutters about the one download at a time or suffer punting arghness*
-
Instead of individually taking the blame for the site going down, how about we share the blame and agree that it was by a combination of our efforts that the bandwidth got sapped up? Like say we were all living in the same apartment and I bought orange juice and each one of us drank some at different times, but the mailman sneaked in at the last second and drank the last glass and threw away the carton. The mailman can represent anyone from Australia to 4chan to kids in Uganda and Uraguay visiting the site.
Doctor_Raven: I'd like that. I can set it up so you can upload them. One thing though. I've come across two different scans of the Viper Anthology comics. I'd have to check out the ones you have to verify that they're the same image quality as the ones I've been uploading. The ones on the .de site are missing chapters.
Now that you mention mutter it, allowing mass downloads may be possible, provided we had another bandwidth upgrade. Then again, offering a link to a mass download manager like Free Download Manager would work in a pinch too.
-
Well except for the majority of the fisrt anthology, I got most of my downloads from this site :catch
http://hentai.plan9.de/hentai/series/viper/
For everyone else who wants to use the link, and like I muttered, its one dl at a time or else temp punting. :og
And missing chapter... oh wow, I'll have to compare image counts.
-
Here's the file sizes, image counts, and dimension stats for my copies:
Viper V1: 32.4 MB, 183 files, 900 x 1200
Viper V2: 35.8 MB, 191 files, 900 x 1200
Viper V3: 38.5 MB, 205 files, 900 x 1200
Viper V4: 34.3 MB, 181 files, 900 x 1200
Viper V5: 35.3 MB, 186 files, 900 x 1200
-
Ok, looks like you should go with your copies for 4 (since 1,2,3 of yours is up already)and 5 is pretty much on par with yours if a bit smaller.
my stats are for 4 & 5
Viper V4: 33.7 MB, 179 files, 900 x 1200
Viper V5: 35 MB, 186 files, 900 x 1200
-
Alrighty, I will. Thanks for offering. It's not a widely known about feature, but people with forum accounts can upload to the galleries too, so long as a gallery has it's upload by user settings turned on that is.
-
Well I wish i could have helped, until the gods gave me a come-uppence and have KILLED my laptop |=/
(currently using the family computer atm)
And the worse part is... I didn't back up all my Viper files. T__T
-
Hearing that makes me sad. Which Viper files did you lose?
-
ALL OF THEM :<
All of the Viper animations RISE, CTR RSR, GTB, GTS all the Viper manga,
-____-
I just now got my Laptop back and I am glad I was neurotic enough to save my own drawings and my resume.
*sigh*
-
You really should look into a new host or something. o_O
(noticed the sites been down for a few days lately)

Well, at least this way you have a fresh start. All is not lost though. I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who'd be more than happy to help you replace your collection. I wish I could help, but since I don't have regular internet the most I can do is add stuff to the gallery to download. JG or Roommate may willing to do some of that AIM transfer stuff provided you buy them a lap dance.

I don't think so. My current host's the best I've had, and I've had my fair share. The site's been down on account of most all of the bandwidth being used up, a sad transgression considering it was just upgraded. It looks like we'll need a total of 60 GB of bandwidth in order to keep afloat. Since we're at 35 GB of bandwidth now, we'll need about 25 GB more.
-
Hmm, a lap dance sure sounds nice right about now...
Hyperguy, circa August 2nd: "This is great! I just upgraded the bandwidth, so now I can host all kinds of stuff like Viper doujinshi and these rare V.G. doujins I can scan, and a site redesign, and pictures of... etc. etc. etc.... We've got bandwidth to spare for a long time!"
(Well, for about 20 days or so.)
Hyperguy, now: "This is great! I just upgraded the bandwidth again, so now I can post even more things hardly anyone's ever seen before. No way we're going to run out of bandwidth again next month!"
(We shall see...)
-
I think we'll always have this problem, no matter how much bandwidth we acquire. We've got so much traffic and so much stuff in demand.
-
Because Viper pwnz.
... but yeah, kind of sucks. I sometimes even get really angry when this site is down, just because I want to look at the pictures or something even though I've seen them 18923943 times already.
Meh. =P
-
JG: That sounds about right to me. Though we have more bandwidth now, it looks like it was cancelled out by the increased demand.
ROMate: Sho'nuff. We've got so many exclusive stuff that it's no wonder so many people are downloading. Other sites may try to sell stuff like the doujinshi we have in the gallery (http://www.rarehentai.com/preview/html/manga_armory/Viper/Japanese/Viper/index.html), but since we offer this stuff for free, it's no wonder there's been so many visits, and those visits cost bandwidth.
Echie: I know what you mean. I throw fits when the site goes down too. Plus, there's something that's just so much cooler about looking at the images in the gallery compared to looking at them in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer on my computer. I blame the cool layout and well organized structure.
-
I have to note, you can view images as guests now. I think when I first found this site (months ago) you had it setup to where you had to login to view images.
Did you do this on purpose, or ...?
If it was an accident, I'm sure if you switched it back to members only the bandwidth would last longer.
-
Yuppers. A few months ago you had to be a member and logged in in order to view images.
As a result, hundreds of people made lots of accounts, yet never used them to post in the forums. There were over 300 accounts with zero posts-mainly people who just created accounts because they wanted to see the pictures in the gallery.
I intially set it up so people had to be logged in to conserve bandwidth.
However, personally I hate having to log in to a site just to view pictures, so I considered how much that must suck and changed it back so that guests can now view images without needing an account.
If I switched it back it wouldn't affect the bandwidth, since people would just make another hundred accounts and use bandwidth up regardless.
-
I told you, make it so you had to have 5 or 10 posts before you can view the images. Thats not unreasonable. Plus we might get more discussion around here.
-
That never works. You're more likely to end up with an assload of spam from people who just want to see the naked anime ladies. People come here for the cartoon porn first and foremost, not the discussion of it, and I doubt that's gonna change very quickly even with something like that.

It's official-our second bandwidth upgrade is in place. Please now enjoy 75 GIGABYTES of bandwidth to snack on every month.
We've got more than enough bandwidth now, so don't expect the site to go down anytime soon. The only thing that could counteract this newly upgraded amount is if we get twice, nay, three times as many visitors as we're getting now.
This acquistion opens up some interesting possibilities. While maybe we're not ready for something huge like 500 MB downloads, there's still plenty of bandwidth available to handle larger downloads than what's available in the gallery and elsewhere. The only thing left to do is see how things pan out from here and if we'll in fact need more bandwidth than what we now have, say it with me, loud and proud-75 Freakin' GIGABYTES OF BANDWIDTH PER MONTH!!
Yahoooo! The site gained a level! It's now powerful enough to tackle the secret dungeon! =D

Dammit! The site always ascends to the next level of Super Saiyan before me!

It'll have to plateau once we go to Hyperguy GT

Just one of the perks of being stuck in other world. ^_^

Beyond that, I think this place just Fusion'd with some great power.
The new gifs are very welcome also, even though I've already seen / have most of the F40 gifs, I just like seeing "Everything Viper" here, at one place! :D
-
I'm with you on that one Echie. It's only a matter of time before HG.net becomes home to all existing Viper gif collections.
But, beyond that I wanna finish animating gifs for Viper games that don't have full gif sets, like Viper GTB and Viper RSR DVD edition. That way fans of the series will be able to check out some fresh material and won't have to perform so ten million searches to find it.[/

I'm definitely for that also. I've seen the same Viper gifs, and images for the past months / years, but once I found this place I've eventually seen new things (Viper RSR DVD special, etc). More new stuff is always welcome. XD

Advanced message board system implemented. Sorry if this comes a bit suddenly, but upgrading to this new forum system is something I've been wanting to do since I first created the forum. It'll take a little getting used to, but in the meantime take heart-this forum system has all of the features of the old system, all of the posts, avatars, and smileys of the old forum and with even more features.
-
I like the change =]
Indeed it'll take some getting used to, but that's what changes are for, ne?
I noticed a few minutes ago there was a major bug -- the main page was basically a "text-only" page. Was that due to the changes on the forum?
Oi, also I set my thing to "log in forever" but I always have to log in every time I visit the page. What gives?
-
AW SNAP! Now the FORUM ascended to SSJ2! And hey, I didn't know we had a "respect" emoticon.
-
And hey, I didn't know we had a "respect" emoticon.
That's for when you address me. :-D
-
i like the new look
we do need to get links installed for the gallery though (even if it's just a link to the sites main page)
-

LOL
-
Anybody figure out a way yet to make the text larger? 10 pt fonts are awfully small at 1280x1024 resolution.
And how about a way to mark all threads as read? I don't want to go through every thread again just to get rid of the NEW indicators...
-
Mark Read: When you hit the sub forum, the table with the Reply link should have a button with "Mark Read". It was the first thing I did, I was lost in the threads lol.
-
Thanks bunch.
-

I'll say. It'd be a heck of a lot more convenient than having to retype 'hyperguy.net' into the address bar anything you need to get back to the main page.

I added a forum mod for imageshack today. Basically how it works is that anytime you need to upload a photo you have the option of being able to upload it to ImageShack thanks to the handy dandy ImageShack upload that should now show up beneath every post.
-
Changed "The H Forum" to "The Congress of Awesome". Also, changed main forum's name to "Lurker's Haven".
-
Needs banner graphic of Jam and Akira. Or anyone else of similar figure.
-
Jam for the win. We need a Jam banner to honor the old site.
-
Roger. I'll include a banner with Akira and Jam in the new template.
In other news, templates that were previously broken have now been fixed.
-
Added a new destroyed icon to the smilies. Yes, it's huge. It's supposed to be huge and excessive.
Here it is:

FYI, this is a secret smiley, so it won't show up in the smilies list, but work just like any other smiley.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/13/2012: This smiley is no longer available.

All of the threads in the test forum have been combined into a single thread and moved to the Music and Arts forum.

I would like to take the time to say.
The sites are running quite well! We haven't gone down at all and it seems that everything is pretty hunky dory!
Let's keep it up at the pace we're going!
If not, our dreams of owning the interweb might be

Congratulations to hyperguy.net for not blowing the bandwidth limit this month.
It looks like we won't be blowing the bandwidth this month either. Things are looking up.
Oh!
I added two smilies to the forum today:
:check and :uncheck
Use 'em where appropriate.
