Server, website and bandwidth updates (Patreon)

[Servers and bandwidth]
The past few weeks have been quite rough with downtime, but a lot of progress has been made in the backend. New servers have been added to aid with web traffic - and new content servers are getting close to being ready for deployment.

It's been a few years since the last bandwidth output update. This time, it's quite a bit higher than it used to be! Peak output is about 27gbps.

[New Website]
We have a new website in development. While we are very close to being able to reveal it, we have a few things currently blocking us.
1. Translations for additional languages (JP)
2. The new content servers are required
3. Data migration script needs completed
4. Finalizing encoding settings

Along with the new website, some existing features of Iwara will be changing. Some notable changes:
1. Unlisted videos will be visible in profile pages, but still excluded from search and other video listings.
2. Revamped tagging system
--Tags are selected from a premade list
3. Private videos function will be altered. More on that later.  

At launch, there will be some additional features
1. Ability to switch between light and dark themes
2. Blacklist for tags.
--Tags may be added or removed at will
--Videos with the blacklisted tags will not show up in your search or video lists
--Certain tags will be default blacklisted for users and guests
3. Video previews on hover from video lists
4. Video timeline previews(edited)
