Hello everyone,

Firstly merry christmas, I'm late due to everything I've been working on and wanted to post this on Christmas day, however late is better than never I guess!

Over the past few months, I've been extremely busy working towards some exciting new service changes which will be discussed in further detail in the coming days.

I have 3 christmas gifts to provide for you all. The first being a much needed update for Dread, which will go live in the next 24 hours. This update covers a wide range of bug fixes, some preparations for extending the use of your Dread account and amendments to AutoModerator so that it can be of more use in cleaning up spam.

But most importantly, this update will, in theory, speed up Dread by around 70% if everything goes to plan. I've been working hard to reduce the need for a request queue site-wide, meaning the DDOS protection will still be in place and work as well as it ever has, whilst also being able to serve content to all users asynchronously. We'll see how this goes and if it doesn't work, I will make further amendments until we get it right.

Notice: Dread will be in maintenance mode for an unknown period of time, hopefully 30-60 minutes maximum when I am performing the upgrades. Once completed I will post a full change log. If there are any bugs you are aware of, please list them in response to this post, I'll make sure I have covered them in the update.

As always, anyone waiting on services from myself, you will be provided with everything requested within this next 24 hours and I will message you asap. Same goes for anyone who has had no response to a message sent to me, I will catch up on everything today.

All of my services will be suspended indefinitely for an unknown period of time from January 1st, due to time constrains following my next gift posts.
