All my threads are online again - that's 10.33TB in almost 2000 threads, thank you very much.

So, Fileserve just deleted my account - meaning all my files are gone. Not really surprising, after they already removed their affiliate program without warning or paying anyone.
Anyway, the same company that owns Fileserve also owns Uploadstation and Filejungle. Apart from their suicidal actions on the main account, they also deleted a couple thousand links without notifying me. Not to mention that they put a new hash-based block in place, which makes it impossible to replace those files.
By now you're probably wondering what that means - well, it means I have around 1700 threads to fix with new links. As you might be able to guess, this will take some time. What I'm going to do is drop Filejungle next week (when the hosting situation becomes clear enough to find an alternative) and then go through the uploads chronologically by anime publishing date. I will proceed with the restoration as I populate the backup server. This means it will probably start in mid-February and end a month or two later. The only exception to this are the half-dozen or so threads where I already promised people to fix things.
All new PMs, posts, VMs, etc. about dead files will be ignored until I'm done.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but with a blow like this it takes time to recover.
Update 1: Filesonic also dropped. I feel like quitting right now.
Update 2: Uploadstation and Filejungle are also goners. Right now only Filepost is still alive, allowing a mere fraction of content to be still accessed. Newer content will be continued to be added in a somewhat random manner and on random hosts, but it's better than nothing.
Update 3: Currently repairing the ongoing series. A-P are done.
Update 4: Ongoing TV series are completely repaired. Around 200 threads are fully online again.
Update 5: Over a thousand threads online. Around two-hundred fifty to go.
Update 6: 136 threads to go.
I'd also like to take this time to remember people about a few things:

I'd also like to take this time to remember people about a few things:
- We are here to stay. While the current situation puts a lot of strain on us, things should get better soon.
- Archive restoration is in progress. With multiple terabyte to upload and hosts being less than stable this is taking longer than expected.
- Our current model (pay for servers via cyberlocker proceeds) is likely to be continued, though we'll have to see how the whole situation plays out first.
