Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1) We regret the interruption in operations last weekend. However, we are very pleased that our IT service partner Qwellcode GmbH (Salzkotten, Germany) provided us with a maintenance slot at short notice. Nevertheless, the reactivation took almost 24 hours due to the large amount of data to be synchronised and the server computing time required.

We ask for your understanding that, for technical reasons, such synchronisations of the data inventory cannot be done faster with the database structure we operate on the underlying hardware architecture. We would like to point out to you that no data transfered during the interuption has been lost.

2) The migration of the upload server to a faster hardware failed, because this is incompatible with the software we use. We therefore have to be content with the current hardware and the upload speeds that can be achieved with it. However, our website runs stably with this. Further technical improvement measures are not scheduled.

3) A campaign to win back retiring club members, which has been running since October 2019, was completed. Out of 360 former Club members, 84 (23%) renewed their membership. The accounts of the others were purged of content that exceeded the guest account limit. This saved 5.8 TBytes of storage space, corresponding to 2,828 EUR in annual savings. We consider the transition process of the membership types to be finished now.

4) With the end of this campaign, the warning messages previously sent to retiring club members will no longer be sent. However, we are extending the period for permanent deletion of excess content to 6 months. (See clause 7.2 of the Terms of Use.)

5) As already communicated, we will now focus on attracting new club members. To ease their entry, we offer a Basic Membership with a discount of 70% for the first year of membership:
