Broken Links

by
I've answered this question so many times that I need a journal so I have a place to copy/paste the answer.

Query: The link on this submission is broken! Can you please repost it?

Response: Thanks for taking an interest in my older artwork. As you know, I have a lot of work which can't be hosted here on InkBunny and have had a lot of trouble finding reliable hosting for it. I'm currently going through all of my old art and re-uploading it to HicceArs (and who knows how long before that site disappears and I have to do all this shit again ... ) but there is a lot of it. Over 2200 posts. Not even individual images. POSTS. Most of those are batches which contain multiple images, sometimes upwards of 20 or 30 in a single batch. I am working on re-uploading my old art in order from oldest to newest - you can track my progress easily by checking which images have updated thumbnails in a new, consistent style. Whatever image you are asking me to re-upload, I will get to it eventually but I am a lot more focused on making NEW art right now - 50+ hours a week I spend making new art, plus all the time I spend uploading that art, replying to messages and comments, scheduling, billing, feeding on League of Legends, grinding away at FFXIV, and drinking gallon after gallon of Diet Coke. I'm living the dream, and it's going to give me diabetes, but I haven't forgotten about that four year old post that has a broken link, I promise. It'll get fixed, eventually. It's on my to-do list right up there with renewing my license, getting renter's insurance, taking my cat to the vet, and tracking down the latest episode of Rick and Morty. I know which ones are broken, I plan on fixing them. Please stop messaging me about it. xD I love that you all care so much but I have a plan for how I want to do it and I'm not going to prioritize one image set over another just 'cuz it's one you want to see on that day - it'd mess up my mojo.

tl;dr quit messaging me about broken links.

Thanks <3

All we wanna do is eat your brains. We're not unreasonable, I mean no one's gonna eat your eyes.
All we wanna do is eat your brains. We're at an impasse here, maybe we can compromise.

Damn 2200. Stop making such good art and they'd stop asking. ;p Seriously though please don't. Journal ain't gonna stop em from asking as they wouldn't read it anyways.

Just let them gripe and keep up the arts cutie =^.^=

I say don't bother, just rar it all up in a single file and upload just the one file.
Only issue is where to host it.
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
that would be a 16GB download filled with unsorted images, many of which have standing DNP orders on them and I'm not about to go through 13k images and try to remember which ones I was allowed to post

dropbox? free accounts have a limit of 2GB
Aogami

not enough space. I need roughly 15x that amount and my needs grow with every picture :)

I thought the whole point of Diet Coke was to NOT result in diabetes.
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
your body treats sugar substitutes like saccharine and aspartame the same way it does sugar - by producing insulin to quickly metabolize it, so even though there aren't any calories in it, it can and does still help cause metabolic disorders associated with excessive sugar consumption.
MightyJAK
6 years, 8 months ago
Worse yet, sugar substitutes do not satisfy your craving for sugar, so you end up consuming more than you would have if it were regular soda. Considering aspartame's other negative effects on your health, in the long run you're better off just consuming sugar.
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
yep. People who regularly drink diet soda are five times more likely to be obese and ten times more likely to be diabetic, and you are right that drinking pop makes you feel hungrier so you're more likely to eat more as well. The caffeine in it also causes heartburn, which is another major problem I have. xD

Solution: upload it to something like Google Drive and share the folder link. Saves you time, easier to port, easier to fix if you ever switch platforms
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
against their ToS, will be removed. I'm not really looking for solutions anyways since this isn't a problem. I just don't wanna be nagged about broken links. :B
hybridkid
6 years, 8 months ago
yah, makes sense. well if you ever DO want to do something like that, minus the stupid TOS bullshit, you can run a Nextcloud or Owncloud server off some server, rather easily. There's some hosts out there that allow for stuff like this and it'd all be on your terms.

Just a solution in general, maybe going forward.
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
Maybe. I like the gallery format but since I'm just direct linking anyways it's a consideration I suppose
hybridkid
6 years, 8 months ago
Yeah it'd be alot simpler to link going forward
but yeah just presenting the option and shit

good luck with....things lol
Aogami

lol thank you

I can make a promise here that Hiccears would never disappear nor it would outlaw shota or loli or cub content. If we fail to find any method for people support artists on hiccears. We will build a new site which do not allow direct upload of shota/loli content but I have several ways still make it possible for shota/loli artists to earn money.
We are at very difficult time right now. No matter what happens, hiccears will always be safe harbor for shota and loli. I understand the website don't look good and there are a lot of improvements for user experience. We are working on it.

Keep on great work Aogami, you are the most talented and diverse artist I know XD
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
I'm glad to hear it but I've seen a lot of such sites just vanish overnight so forgive my skepticism. xD

Link is broken, can you give him some money?
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
who am I giving money to?
JimmyRenard
6 years, 8 months ago
Link (Zelda) he need money for a bow and arrows
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
oh. He can go cut some grass for money. The minish people left it for him

Man, I love my watchers, but I wouldn't even fight that fight in the face of 2200+ images. Your patience is through the roof.
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
it's not an issue of me wanting something different from them. I WANT people to see my older art, I WANT to reupload it. I just wanted to make clear that asking me for specific ones isnt how I want to do it :)
Malachyte
6 years, 8 months ago
Oh for sure. It's just that... well it's so many pictures! You're climbing a re-upload mountain that my brain cannot even fathom, ha ha. Bravo for the day you complete that journey.
Aogami
6 years, 8 months ago
By the time that happens HicceArs will be dead and I'll have ot do it all again

computer genius John Carmack also drinks gallons of diet coke and has been for decades. maybe theres a connection between brains and diet coke.

So does MatPat from the Game Theorists but somehow it didn't make him fat like it did to me. Maybe it has to do with the fact that he's like 20 and probably exercises regularly :P

I'm glad to see this. I'd noticed the broken links but I'm not one to really comment because usually someone already has made the comment I was gonna say.
Instead let me just praise you by saying that you are one of the best goddamned cub artists, and furry artists on the web. Not only is your art tantalizing by itself but when you add in the stories you make it becomes manna from heaven.
And my favorite of these will always remain the comic of Sheep-girl Ophelia being grabbed by Mattie's mom and taken in for a 3 way with her and her husband. The whole scenario just hits every one of my kinks.

Sorry about the tangent. Just love your work so much
Aogami
6 years, 6 months ago
if you like that story, you should check out

Sorry, Aoi, I just always miss out on the slots as I don't get on IB as much any more. Whenever they do pop up, it's days later and any slots available tend to clash with my work schedule. It's definitely nothing personal and I still enjoy the work you crank out.
Aogami

no worries. :)

Alot of artists have turned to Pixiv, however exHentai is still the most stable place to host artwork
Aogami
6 years, 5 months ago
pixiv requires censorship and exhentai is a pain in the ass xD
ren9999
6 years, 5 months ago
well, now im glad i checked to see if there was a journal about it due to it seeming like a common problem.

do you know what happened that broke all the links?
Aogami
6 years, 5 months ago
depends on which site you're talking about. tumblr removed my account. Majhost died in general. soup.io had a server crash that deleted all my images.
Hellsias
6 years, 4 months ago
Ok ^.^ makes sense(i would maybe recommend dropbox or mega if the one your using fails,those are reliable ^.^)
Aogami
6 years, 4 months ago
it's against the ToS of at least dropbox. I haven't looked into megaupload. And if your stuff gets downloaded enough times they check the content and ban your ass. xD
Hellsias
6 years, 3 months ago
Wait wa? Thats funny though,another artist posts drowning peril arts with some mature content on dropbox often.and they dont seem to have any issues.(also is mega really called mega upload,never heard of it that way before.)
Aogami
6 years, 3 months ago
just because one person hasn't gotten caught doesn't mean it isn't against the rules lol
Hellsias
6 years, 3 months ago
True,but honestly i didnt know that was a rule xD
Aogami
6 years, 3 months ago
I check the ToS before I use a thing :)
Hellsias
6 years, 3 months ago
Ah kk,then sry im outa ideas to help x.x
Aogami
6 years, 3 months ago
the solution I have now works fine. I just have to re-upload the images and there are literally thousands upon thousands of them so it takes a while
Hellsias
6 years, 3 months ago
I guess all i can do is wish u good luck :3
Sanrio
5 years, 10 months ago
Wow, I had no idea. Good luck with the re-uploads Aoi!

it's very slow going. There's a lot of them

I'm still saddened that majhost went down long ago.
Had this panic moment and deleted all my porn a few years back and it contained that completed shippo gif (the zapperzaku one), and I'm still so saddened that the completed one seems to have been lost to time, I haven't found it anywhere. (Really kicking myself for not backing it up just in case...)
Sad that it had to happen but I can understand you not having the time/desire/etc to refinish it. Will have to live on in my memory (at least the bits and pieces that I remember of it anyways.)
Aogami
5 years, 9 months ago
yeah I'm not sure where the finished one went. I don't have it anymore
lazarus102

Coulda sworn I'd recommended pixiv to you b4.. I think it's more solid than hiccears, like a much bigger site overall,  so probably more well funded and also primarily Japanese and therefore not hosted in Murica, which is famous for its hate of everything different.  And the site allows everything.  Heck, there's even a lot of 3D shota stuff on there.
Aogami
2 years, 7 months ago
they require you to censor
lazarus102
2 years, 7 months ago
Hmm.. either a lot of people don't,  or so many do that ive just gone blind to it.. ya could try minimal censorship? Like that one line of pixels across the wangs. And as far as I know, that's all that's required in Japan for it to be legal.  So it'd likely be the longest term solution you'd get tbh. Since as you've implied, most of these types of sites will eventually be shut down.
