Changelog

1/31/2021:
 
Changed suggested tag list from Equestrian to Mobian.
 
Changed Equestrian injokes to Mobian injokes for approval/disapproval votes.

2/22/2021:
 
Changes to the quick tag table.
 
Sonic Prime added to the Default filter for spoilers.

2/3/2020:
 
Rule 5.4 has been removed.
 
Rationale: We were a bit too overzealous, and accidentally banned pictures of some important Sonic characters - Maria Robotnik, Princess Elise, and Chris Throndyke among them. A similar rule will be added in the future.

2/18/2021:
 
In the backend, the backup script has been changed from storing 7 days of backups to 3 days of backups.

2/24/2021:
 
Changed our deployment system in the backend. Also took the opportunity to run some software updates and set up a second backup system; total downtime 1h 15m.
 
Brief explainer: Because we didn’t notice Philomena had a deployment script, we built our own that would run backups, then pull code from the dev repo and reboot. Philomena’s deployment script is based on the server pushing code triggering commands, including the ones that handled such things as database migrations and in-place restarts. Now we should be using Philomena’s deployment code… hopefully.

3/10/2021:  
Small alteration to rule 1: ‘adoptables’ explicitly added to the list of commercial art that may not be uploaded to AMS.
 
This is not much of a rules change since it already was pretty clear not to put up art from art packs.

12/12/2021:  
Brief downtime earlier today thanks to log4shell. Used the downtime in order to apply some other updates that had been pending a bit. Total downtime 40 minutes.

2/7/2022:  
It’s been a while since we changed the quick tag chart! Surge and Kit have been added, and some sections expanded.
 
Totally didn’t cause a crash upon reboot.

3/30/2022:  
The About Uploading guide now has a a suggested order of priority of which sites to use in the Source tag.

5/6/2022:
 
Unexpected forgetting to unset an enviroment variable downtime of about 2 hours.
 
It looks like some uploads may have been lost in that time.
