Intermittent Outages
Apparently our ISP, Ziply Fiber, is having intermittent outages in the Pacific Northwest. We had a 45 minute downtime earlier, and a 15 minute downtime just now. If you can’t access any Squidge.org services with the exception of FenRecs.com (which is remote hosted) then please wait a bit and then retry. Sorry, but this seems […]
Read MoreBrief Downtime
We went down for approximately 45 minutes, apparently due to an ISP issue. Both our fiber lines seemed to be down simultaneously, which meant there was something in the ISP’s switching office that barfed and they had to bring things back up. Nothing within Squidge.org itself went down, but all services except for FenRecs.com seemed […]

Short Outage
About an hour ago we went down for about 20 minutes, but things should be up and running smoothly now. We had a power issue (electrician is testing some things) so we had to flip the breaker. And while most items are protected via battery backup, one of our systems blurped and didn’t automatically come […]
Read MoreSquidge.org INC Financials for 2024
Attached is a list of financials for Squidge.org, INC for 2024. While we raised enough money to cover our expenses, because of legal requirements and filings, we actually didn’t quite cover all of our bills – so it’s a good thing we had a cushion in the bank to cover these expenses. As a breakdown: […]
Read MoreFenRecs.com Update
The rollout of FenRecs.com has gone so smoothly that I’ve decided to leave registrations open. That could change at any time, should we be inundated with bad actors, but for now I think we’re good. Fandom is doing good and so far things are awesome. The only issue that we’ve seen so far is with […]

Read MoreGauging Interest
So there’s been talk about fandom being too decentralized as of late, and I’ve had an idea that’s been rambling around my head for a while now. While it sounds good to me, I want to gauge interest before undertaking our Next Big Thing. Most people are at least a bit knowledgeable about Reddit – […]
Read MoreBrief Overnight (US) Outage
So one final holiday “gift” that we got was an overnight power outage (and in this case, gift is the German translation which means poison – thank you Grimm for teaching me that!). Power was out from about 2am until just before 6am, and there were a couple of burps that had to be resolved […]
Read MoreSquidge Images – User Signups Temporarily Disabled
Please note that due to an influx of bad agents, signups for Squidge Images are temporarily disabled. Yeah, I wish we didn’t have to do it, either. But because of people not in fandom who are trying to use anonymous hosting for non-fandom things like rape/snuff images and for-sale/commercial listings, we’ve shut down signups. The only […]
Read MoreSquidge Image Hosting
Image hosting from Squidge.org is here for fandom. If you’re using it for fandom, then you’re in the right place and have nothing to worry about. Even if you’ve got a fandom account and you choose to post pictures of concert tickets, or that really cool vase that you found in an antique store when […]
