Bit of an update

So, the indiegogo isn't going too well. Only $5 American have been raised so far, which is in the "red zone" for getting the project up and running. At this rate, BGA will not be happening.

In other news, I heard that a lot of Pony blogs from Tumblr that post porn (like Pet-Dash. warning: semi-NSFW content on end of link) have been deleted by Tumblr staff after being violently reported by a group hard-set on getting "bestiality" off of Tumblr (or possibly the internet. I'm not sure about that, though). As a result of being told this, I had an idea: What if there were a safe-haven for those blog authors to post their stuff at a minimal cost? (because everything costs money...)
I only think of this because some of those artists are really good at what they do. Now, of course, the investment would start by being completely out of my pockets (domain and server space), but hopefully over time, enough people would want their content to be hosted safely and without fear of being destroyed.
Now, the only reason I'd have to do it for money is because it would cost money to run the server(s) the service is hosted on. At the start, it would be safe enough to go with one server for content and data, but as the service grows, it would be smart to migrate content (such as pictures and videos) to a server that handles just those, so as to not slow down the main data server, which would host the rest of the system (the blog software). If that server gets slowed down, then everything goes to hell.

So that's my idea. Thoughts from my non-existent readers should go below this post in the comments section.
