As adjustments have to made regarding how this instance sends email, registration has been temporarily disabled. I can’t really estimate how long this will take. Today I also updated the FAQ.

EDIT 20.06.2023: The problem is now fixed and registrations are open again.


Koska sähköpostien lähettämiseen tällä instanssilla pitää tehdä säätämistä, rekisteröinti on tilapäisesti poissa käytöstä. En voi oikein arvioida kuinka pitkään tässä kestää. Tänään päivitin myös UKK:ta.

EDIT 20.06.2023: Ongelma on nyt korjattu ja rekisteröityminen on taas auki.

    Yeah, transactional email service for password resets and message notifications isn’t free. I’m all for paying a few USD a month; paying that now saves future me the hassle of having to find a new instance to join if this one goes down due to lack of funds.

      one of the things I used to love about my something awful account was that it wasn’t free. It was $10 one-time, which is a pittance if you use it to any significant degree but it pays for stuff like automailers and other necessary admin shit and it raises the stakes of being a jerk.

        But forcing pay is not the way to make a platform grow. People will see a price on the internet and ignore it, unless something else (ad, suggesstion…) really tells you how good it is

          Also, payment systems are better these days but there are still a lot of people who would have the money but no way to transfer it for one reason or another.

          Some sort of good, free level of service is good to have in most cases.
