This is where the issues start to come in. I wanted to use the site as an opportunity to improve my familiarity with Python. At the time, my Python and devops skills were limited. Building a site that mirrors the Steam Workshop but allows for adult content as well? A no-brainer.īut the project also served another purpose. Links to those sites tended to expire after some time, which lead to models getting lost after periods of inactivity. The idea was to create a site where people could safely upload SFM models rather than relying on sites like Mega, MediaFire and FileSmelt. I started developing SFMLab six years ago, in January of 2014. The Secret History of SFMLabīut first, I'll provide some historical context. As such, I owe everyone an explanation regarding the state of SFMLab over the past month, and how we will continue going forward. The banner on the homepage explained little, and naturally that had people worried. To those who asked, my answers have been terse and vague. You may have noticed some major changes and severe service disruption over the past few weeks.
It's been a busy month, but we're almost out of the woods.
