Marefair was [i:lit]amazing[/i:lit]. Thank you to everyone who came to the Alternative Sites Panel. It felt successful (by which I mean we didn't have any dead air). The recording should be posted at some point, though corp didn't know when.
Onto PonerPics news, there was a bit of downtime yesterday, which was caused by an error in Philomena (a regular error) that lasted a bit longer than normal because we changed how the server loads Philomena to try to hopefully permanently fix the problem.
The PonerPics backend importer has stalled because the script uses the data dumps for its data. The last Derpibooru data dump, however, was May 29. So the importer is stuck at May 29. We're modifying the script to use json rather than the data dump, and this conversion is underway. When this is done, the new script will actually be able to import new images in real time, instead of needing to wait until the next day. Updating tags on existing images still relies on the data dumps though, so it remains to be seen if Derpibooru will ever start releasing those again.
I'm not sure what the status is on themes; I will check with Patachu when I am able.
Also, I definitely want a Ponerpics community event next year to try to create art to donate to the gallery and charity auction of Marefair 2 next year. But of course, that's something for next year.
