Bye Anonfiles #100

Open DtxdF opened 1 year ago

DtxdF commented 1 year ago

Hi, I just open this issue to inform to the community that, sadly, after working for years, Anonfiles is closing down:

After trying endlessly for two years to run a file sharing site with user anonymity we have been tired of handling the extreme volumes of people abusing it and the headaches it has created for us. Maybe it is hard to understand but after tens of million uploads and many petabytes later all work of handling abuse was automated through all available channels to be fast as possible. We have auto banned contents of hundreds of thousands files. Banned file names and also banned specific usage patterns connected to abusive material to the point where we did not care if we accidental delete thousands of false positive in this process. Even after all this the high volume of abuse will not stop. This is not the kind of work we imagine when acquiring it and recently our proxy provider shut us down.

This can not continue.

LetsUpload and FileChan, clones of Anonfiles, will be shut down after a while.

This is disheartening, and will require a pivot.
