 | 10:23 pm - FurBuy Needs Your Help This Holiday Season
Sadly we're a long ways away from achieving our goal of $400 for December's network fees and the current admin team will have trouble floating it as we're all broke this holiday season. =/ We currently have ZERO homepage ad banners running despite that they are only $5 per month and get an enormous amount of views and click-throughs. We also have a ton of auction footer banners available at $10 per month. Please consider buying a month or three of ad banner space to promote your website, your blog, your FA page, even someone else's site or page! It goes to a good cause and promotes you or your friends. For more Ad Banner info head here: http://www.furbuy.com/docs/adbanners.shtml
And of course we still have our annual Contributing Membership for just $18 per year, that's only $1.50 per month! Even if you won't use it right away, it's better to have it there when you will need it, after all you get a ton of expanded features and capabilites on FurBuy when you're a member! If nothing else, your membership supports the site and keeps us running and motivated! For more info on membership, go here: http://www.furbuy.com/docs/membership.shtml
Even if you can't directly support FurBuy with contributions, please spread the word and help us build a stronger and more aware community. Thanks for your support this holiday season!
On a side note we've been pushing really close to the 300 auction mark and seeing a LOT of bids and sales, so things have been very exciting on FurBuy lately! We've also launched a new feature called the Hall of Fame on FurBuy to better explain users' habits when it comes to leaving feedback, as well as the site overall. Only 66% of potential feedback gets left, which is really sad - get in there and leave your feedback folks! ;D Thank you all so much for your business and interest and you're always welcome to contact us anytime if you have questions, comments or concerns. =)

 | 01:15 pm - Notification System
**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**
So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.
And finally some answers to some questions:
