Shutdown notice

Under the title "Anuncio importante", Patroklo and Neverwolf announced in a blog article on 2017-11-30 that Subcultura would cease to exist on 2018-01-31:

Creo que todos os esperabais este mensaje en algún momento. Nos hubiese gustado que fuese otro, pero llega un punto en el que hay que aceptar que algo no va bien y que, como un perrete viejo con displasia de cadera, lo mejor es ponerlo a dormir.

Subcultura dejará de existir el 31 de enero de 2018, dentro de dos meses. Todos sus webcómics, sus tiras, snaps y posts se borrarán sin posibilidad de recuperación. Es por eso que os recomendamos que guardéis cualquier información que queráis conservar a buen recaudo si no lo habéis hecho ya (que deberíais, viendo cómo ha ido la cosa).

Hemos intentado arrancar una versión nueva en numerosas ocasiones, pero el trabajo, la vida personal y la desmotivación no lo han hecho posible. Tampoco hemos contemplado la posibilidad de liberar código porque tiene más años que Matusalén y no es ni mantenible ni reutilizable.

Gracias por estos nueve años y medio de risas y dolores de cabeza. Gracias especialmente a CDmon por habernos permitido aguantar tanto tiempo (sin ellos esto no hubiese sido posible).

¡Nos vemos!

Site structure

Snaps, blogs, and forums were hosted directly under subcultura.es. Webcomics had their own subdomain (which was really just a CNAME to subcultura.es). There were some subdomains which may not have worked on all systems; for example, --.subcultura.es was not resolvable in standard tools on GNU/Linux systems without patching libc.

The server limited the rate at which pages could be accessed. It appears that this limit was based on the server-side rate, i.e. how many requests could be handled by the server per time, not a client-side request rate. When the rate limit got triggered, the server replied with a 302 redirect to http://subcultura.es/max_conn, which hosted an error page (or sometimes redirected again, causing an infinite loop).

Archives

The entire site was archived with wpull, including last-minute content up to some minutes before the shutdown (comics, snaps, and blogs up to about 5 minutes before shutdown; forum posts up to about 20 minutes before shutdown).

The archives are not available yet. Some post-processing is necessary to get them into browsable shape; namely, the rate limit redirects as well as some other spurious responses need to be filtered out of the WARCs.
