Introducing Catbox Spaces! + Server Upgrades!
🕑 Added 2025-02-07 06:52:08 +0000 UTCHi there!
As we approach Catbox’s 10th birthday (jeez I’ve been at this for a while.), I wanted to share something I’ve been working on in sort-of secret last year - Catbox Spaces!
Catbox Spaces
Catbox Spaces is a new, paid service I’ve been developing to help content creators share their content with their followers. It’s designed to be a content publishing platform separated from social media sites and payment/subscription processors (as Catbox generally has a more… sensible Terms of Service/Acceptable Use Policy). A content creator who owns a Space can create content packs that can be viewed on the site, with measures taken to restrict downloading/hotlinking of the images. You can also create password protected content packs. This can be taken even further by tying your space in with your Patreon or SubscribeStar account to have access based on pledge tier. The Space is highly customizable too, letting you style it how you want. You can also see view statistics for not just your Space, but individual content packs too. Further planned features include automatic Glaze anti-AI protection, custom CSS (for those that want to get really in-depth with their customization), and more!
Note that the funding and expenses that I incur from this new endeavor is completely separate from Catbox’s. Catbox will remain user funded, and user expense driven. Don’t worry, I’m not going to become some big corpo. I’ve just seen what’s been happening recently with sites like Imgur, Tumblr, and others heavily restricting NSFW content. I’ve even been seeing sporadic reports that Mega has been purging folders of NSFW content. That’s one of the great things about Catbox Spaces - I’m not a corporation (well, technically Catbox LLC is, but it’s just me!), plus, I actually care! Did you know I read about 4 abuse/content reports a day for Catbox? And I handle each one individually. Bet you Mega doesn’t do that.
If you have any questions, please reach out to me via email! I am more than willing to answer any questions. Thank you all again for your support!
Server Upgrades
I’ve been a little quiet on here regarding upgrades, but I assure you that Catbox continues to grow - both physically and logically! As we’ve increased in size, so has the need to add additional storage. Some of you may have noticed the brief downtime back on the 26th of January - that was me putting in a new, larger, and much more powerful server for Catbox! Unfortunately I wasn’t able to put it into production, but I am aiming to do so either this weekend or next! The new server brings with it new, redundant SSD storage for critical files, as well as a dedicated 87 TB of disk space for user files. Combined with the storage array that’s currently attached to the old server, that brings Catbox’s total on-premise storage capacity to 162 TB!

Catbox-senpai you are AMAZING for this, Catbox Spaces sounds exactly like what I've been looking for and if it is I am so excited for this! I'm a student without reliable income so I'm hesitant to do anything now but I've always intended to support you one day. I know it's an easy promise to make but I swear as soon as I actually have money I'm supporting ur ass !!

Catbox just feels reliable and safe. I appreciate that you're just one of us instead of some crazy greedy corporate shill. I know there's not as much in it for you, but when I read this I feel that you're one of those people in the world that shifts the world closer to how it should be. Thank you sincerely for being you, amigo.
