Recap, Sideloader Modpack problems (Patreon)

A lot has gone down this weekend, and a lot of people are confused, judging from looking at my DMs, the Patreon comments and discussions in both the Koikatsu and IllusionSoft server, so time to do a little recap.

On friday, the PRIMARY mega accounts of myself as well as several modders (amongst them the maker of HF-Patch, ManlyMarco, and the admin of the Koikatsu Sideloader Modpack, DeathWeasel) got taken down. We have all attempted to figure out what's up, but Mega is not replying to these requests, so we're looking elsewhere to proceed. I tried setting up a new mega to keep us over till the end of the month, but that failed and got deleted as well. So next up is to accelerate server setups. For this purpose, both Koikatsu and AIS now share one server that were supposed to be backed up with Mega to make sure it doesn't get overloaded with traffic just for AI Shoujo. This isn't optimal, as this server would slow to a crawl when either of us releases a new update.

Let's also address this: The mega error that comes up when trying to access some of the links were a standard Mega "we deleted this and terminated the account" kinda deal, neither of these megas contained any material of "really bad content" to put it mildly. It further aggravates me that they're in practice slandering us in this manner!

Now, to the way forward. Koikatsu, Koikatsu Party and AI Shoujo will receive a hotfix that can be used on either game, this will contain a updated version of KKManager alongside a brand spanking new source of files. AI Shoujo will also recieve a new pack release right after the next sideloader modpack update when the base stuff is in place.

I have put in a order for a new server to handle this, and will look into purchasing the really expensive €3000 option at the turning of the month as well.

About the €3000 server, there seems to be some confusion. The reason it's that much is that I'm straight up buying the hardware, giving me a fair bit of flexibility, as well as having the specs on hand to do multiple things with it. I may also eventually grab satellite servers in other regions to allow for regional servers.

I will go back to running around in circles behind the scenes, growing a lot of grey hair over all of this, but know this:

We will get through this!

Neither me, nor any of the modders affected, have any plans of just giving up, rather we're going full speed ahead, accelerating and moving on.

Thank you all for your support during all of this!

TLDR:
Mega bad, stuff got deleted, working on getting new servers online, new packs with new sources coming.
