We just kicked off a massive move of all photos and videos. It's going to take a while, possibly an hour, but hopefully not that long.

We're keeping the site and apps active during the move but you should avoid posting media during this time because it might get lost in the shuffle.

We're making the move to hopefully save nearly $50 USD per month in storage and data transfer costs. Little bit of pain for a pretty big gain.

We've had to turn off our content delivery network (CDN) while we look into more affordable options. There should be no noticeable difference in North America (68% of you), other regions may experience media loading a bit slower than usual.

With close to 100,000 photos and videos content delivery is our largest expense.

Here are some fun numbers,

So far in December our CDN...
...served 1.46 million requests,
...averaged 104k requests per day,
...cost $32 USD
