ScriptAxis - a searchable, sortable, filterable funscript directory

I just got around to updating to Firmware V3 and was checking out some stuff on the site. Figured I’d register my email.
Email went into my spam.
To be fair I have a very strict spam filter, but things could be better:

Hey, is there any chance you could make this site usable on mobile? For some reason the video covers the link to the script (screenshot: 967.8 KB file on MEGA)

Yeah that’s really high on my priority list - I’ve learned a lot about site layout since I started ScriptAxis so I could do a way better job at it.

Awesome! Let me know if you need any help, I’m also a web designer :slight_smile:

Madscripts and I were chatting about the mobile redesign in this issue, feel free to weigh in if you have opinions or thoughts :slight_smile:

@defucilis what is the formula you use to figure out the script speeds?

It’s measured in ‘half strokes per minute equivalent’ - it’s basically the same formula as HandyControl, but his formula is ‘full strokes per minute’.

Just wanted to make a post saying that yesterday ScriptAxis passed 100,000 unique script views (i.e. views that are tracked separately from eroscripts). Hilariously, ScriptAxis is more popular than all the other work I’ve done in my ‘normal’ life combined :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for using the site everyone! I have lots of big plans for ScriptAxis in the future, just awaiting a time when I’m not so busy and locked-down with my girlfriend!

edit: I made a graph section for my admin dashboard to celebrate:

This site is my go-to and I love it, but it doesn’t work right now?

Yeah - it’s a long story, but my hosting account has temporarily been blocked due to a shitty automated system that Vercel uses.

Basically, I was doing some web scraping in the background, which I thought would be fine. I got an email Tuesday morning at 8am saying “hey you’ve exceeded your monthly bandwidth according to our fair use policy - reduce your usage or we’ll lock your account” (which I’ve never seen before, but I guess it was in the fine-print, fair enough)

So I turned off all my scrapers, bringing my usage way down to just what ScriptAxis and Funscript.io use, and sent an email apologizing.

But then they deactivated my account anyway?! So now I just have to wait for a support staff person to see my email and hopefully take pity on me. Worst-case scenario, it will be 30 days before my sites are back up. I’m so pissed off. If they’d told me when I was approaching the limit, rather than had already passed it (not including my normal organic site traffic) then this wouldn’t have happened.

So lame.

So yeah. Sorry about that! ScriptAxis will be down for a little while. I’ll make another post here once it’s back up.

Hey all, the site is back up now. You might need to refresh if you still see the ‘deployment disabled’ error

As it turns out, scraping is itself against the TOS of the site, and that was what got my account locked. So now I know that haha :upside_down_face:
Disabled all my scrapers and got my account reinstated. Lesson learned!

Ehh things happen, thanks for the update and glad it’s working again!

I see that scriptaxis has not updated the content for a while. Is the project on hold?

That wonders me too. I like the website and the idea of it a lot, and I use it often. I mean, if you don’t have enough time, I would like to help to keep the website and everything up to date, like adding videos and scripts. Additionally, I have some basic programming skills in HTML, CSS, PHP and MySQL. I have an account on scriptaxis. Feel free to contact me :slight_smile: @defucilis

Haha yeah - I’ll copy-paste my post on the funscript.io thread:

I’m sorry it’s been so long between updates everyone - the situation is basically that I worked myself way, way too hard getting a big project shipped from August last year until the end of January (i.e. two weeks ago). So now I’m really exhausted, sick and burned out. :frowning:

I definitely haven’t abandoned the projects (I still use both all the time myself, bugs and all!), but I’m barely keeping up with my day job at the moment - I suspect it’ll be a few more weeks at least before I have the energy to get back into my hobby work.

I could definitely use some help adding scripts - for ages it was my daily habit to go through and add everything new posted to EroScripts, but when I got busy that list grew and grew and grew until it was like several hundred scripts, and I just declared bankruptcy and stopped updating them. I should probably start getting back into adding them each day :stuck_out_tongue:

The functionality to allow others to add scripts is already in-place and working - so if anyone’s keen to add scripts themselves, send me a message and I can set your account up with the necessary privileges + run you through the conventions that I try to ensure scripts have.

First, thank you for the tremendous amount of effort you put in to create and maintain that site. I am wondering, though, if it might work better for you to invest some time upfront to create some sort of scraping script that would automatically check for new scripts here and add them dynamically to your site.

Yeah, the idea behind is not new, but as @defucilis mentioned earlier, it is against the ToS from the current hoster of scriptaxis.com to use scraper. He would need to change the hoster or use the scraper on another device / service and upload it.

Overall a lots of people forget, Scriptaxis is for free.

I started a similar project behind closed doors, just for me and some active scripter (if they want to use it). It is too much work to run it for free, totally crazy how much time you have to spend to run a site like this on a good quality level.

Without getting paid for it, I don’t mean a low amount like 500 Dollar per month, it is crazy to run a site like this. Maybe some people should move their asses and ask how to help him administrate scriptaxis instead of asking when it goes back online.

I’m sorry, I just had to say that.

There is an API for discourse that I could use to automatically create ScriptAxis entries from EroScripts. It’s definitely something that I’ve thought about and wouldn’t add much server load (asking the API for an entry actually uses less data than loading the page myself and manually copying the data across). That wouldn’t be against ToS for Vercel (which is where ScriptAxis is hosted)

However, the quality of posts created this way would be very poor - I do a fair amount of formatting and cleanup to ensure that all the entries in ScriptAxis are consistent and useful - for example 90% of the time I make the thumbnail myself, I often go through and find my own links to the original source, redo the title, etc. So automatic post creation would probably only ever be useful as a starting point for manual curation…unless I’m willing to let ScriptAxis become far messier.

Haha it’s true - although I did create ScriptAxis primarily for myself + as an excuse to learn some interesting new web technologies. My plan was always for the entries to be added by other people, and all I would need to do was make sure the underlying tech works. But I never quite got it ready for such a use-case and have been stuck manually creating entries.
I hope to have the time this year to finally finish up all the necessary tools to ensure that anyone can create scripts on the site without it causing issues in the scripting community.
