Nya.is is closing its doors.

The stuff below is irrelevant now, see this thread; https://lewd.sx/t/nya-is-is-now-under-new-ownership

Hi all,

Running Nya has been a pretty fun project, but as it grows daily, it's taking up a fair amount of my time and resources for little to no return. As much as I love providing the service free of charge to a large amount of wonderful people like yourself, it really isn't realistic for me to provide this service (for free) forever.

Your content will not be lost, I'm going to continue to host everything that's currently uploaded, for as long as I'm still around; users with accounts are still able to login to view their files here.

I do have the ability to enable uploads for specific accounts, so if you are interested in being whitelisted, send me an email at neko@nya.is with your nya.is username, ~~some nudes~~, and what you will mostly be using nya.is for. If you didn't have an account prior to today, you can still create one here. Whitelisted access will be handed out sparingly, so if you want access, I'd recommend being standout in some way.

If you have any questions or concerns or anything, feel free to either make a reply to this thread, or send me an email at neko@nya.is.

Sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.

Some useless statistics:

There is 2.4TB of content uploaded to nya.is
That content is made up of over 1 million files.
While Alexa is fairly inaccurate, Nya.is is one of the top 63,000 most visited websites in the world according to their rankings.
3.9 million unique visitors used over 220TB of bandwidth over the last month. The majority of those visitors coming from the United States, with Italians coming at a close second. (cloudflare analytics)
Cloudflare helped save over 99% of the bandwidth used, with only 3TB coming from our origin server

o, and the source can be found here if you wanna setup your own.

Just created an account to say, thank you for what you've done during all this time, and to congratulate for how wonderful and fast was your service. I will really miss it.

got to be about the saddest thing to happen yet this year month, but at least it allowed me to figure out that this forum existed :^)

Big thanks to Clickbait for hosting it, was amazing to be able to use a Neko themed upload site and tell everyone about ot :p

Was great to use while it lasted. I've been using nya.is and pomf.se since 2014 in the summer, I've sent an email hopefully I'll get whitelisted.

Thanks for everything though and the free services you guys provided.

All good things must come to an end, I guess. Based on those statistics I'd say it was a pretty successful venture as far as file hosting goes. I had no idea that many people used it.

I feel for you, and we all know the feeling. It is... :sniff: sad to see this go, but we will do our best to hold back our tears and move on. （ ; ; ）

I am always here if you want to express your sadness via the PM. I'm always at your side when you need me. <3

Why not put up a donation button? I'd gladly give you some dosh to keep your site up or at least help out.

Edit: Yes, I signed up just for that. I've relied on your page quite a bit for my webm shitposting.

Someone that could probably be trusted with taking over Nya and keeping it open and maintained has sent me an email expressing interest in acquiring it. I'm sorta on the fence about it tbh, will probably converse with people about it when I've vetted them further - as I don't particularly want to hand over everyones data only for it to get lost.

thanks friendo. but it's entirely possible that you won't have to say good bye, as I'm considering an opportunity that has opened up for Nya.

Yuu

What a blow, aww.moe shutting down too :p Oh well, nothing lasts forever. It's been good and I appericiate all the time you took running the service.

Nya.is is now owned by Josh, the founder of Kitsu/Hummingbird and will be transferred to him within the next day or two.

I'll write up an announcement about this later.

Oh yes. Nya.is still alive. Now Josh asking member Kitsu.io for help him curate anime GIFs on Nya.is.
