3D Porch getting modified, gold membership implemented

3D Porch, the 3DS wiggle-vision site for uploading pictures, is going restrict the amount of days photos can be available. Last year, the site was on the brink of closing, but was quickly saved afterwards. It looks like these upcoming changes are final, so far we can tell.


Dear 3D Porch Community!

Action Required: Backup your photos or sign-up for gold membership.

We haven't spoken in awhile, and normally I don't send mass emails, but since many of you have tens, if not hundreds of photos on 3D Porch, this announcement may be important to you. If not, please feel free to ignore it.

So a little over a year ago, I almost shut 3D Porch down, but through some heroic cost-saving techniques, I was able to reduce the costs significantly. However, traffic has calmed down since then, and 3D Porch still doesn't make enough money to remain profitable, plus it does occupy some of my time. Most of the costs come from hosting 100,000+ images.

So I'm going to modify the way 3D Porch works. Uploads will expire after 30 days. I will implement this starting 30 days from now, so you have 60 days to archive your photos or upgrade to a gold membership.

You can sign-up for gold here: http://3dporch.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=399d54509f706c838dc5f66fa&id=efc0176528&e=01db144314

The exception to this expiration will be Featured photos and gold members' photos.
