    I'm can't code, but can someone write like a script that would hourly upload stuff and send back a "pirate mode: on" sign on the first post?

    Why would we need to be informed here constantly up-to-date whether it's working or not? You go to oboom and will see the result at first hand.

    You could offer ad banners for this thread to respective companies for their soothing medicine campaign.

    ^I think it would be because if other people are seen to be having problems, it can save time effing around to discover that one's self.
    Plus, there could be situations when someone may have to re-up to another site, if they are providing links.
    All sorts of reasons, probably.
    But you are correct, too!

    well, so the sister site could put a sign somewhere on the fixed left-frame that would show Oboom with green light (working) or red light (down) but for that they should ask oboom some compensation for promoting their site. And if so, Oboom should provide AZ a log file about its actual operational status, just to make things simple.
    Too much dreaming. Rather let's get an ice cream from the fridge.

    I think Oboom would rather block everything from siter site if they would have a clue where all the traffic is coming from. The way 99% of sister sites users use oboom they (Oboom) definetely dont have any benefit from, but costs. Most of us have a free account and use oboom only to remote transfer uploaded.to links to our Oboom account and then download with highspeed...but never pay a cent to them.

    @jazzzz and
    @Smoove Grooves

    There are other reasons. Your ISP could be blocking YOUR access to OBOOM. OBOOM itself could decide to do something similar to ZIPPY and block YOUR region. OBOOM could block YOU, as an individual, for violating its TOS ... and we can go on and on and on and.... This certainly is a convenient and simple way for us to simply find out what is going on.

    I still hold my wild opinion that I wrote here a couple of months ago. It can be imprecisely imagined/explained but I doubt Oboom doesn't see what's going on. And the fact that after one user doing remote upload of a file, for others Oboom only verify if it's the same file and so doesn't waste resources to re-download it again. it requires cataloguing the remote files by hosters, not just by file. You can try this: Remote a file from UL, then from RG, it won't recognize as the same file, even if it is, and won't upload it in a second (except if someone else has already done it with both hosters).
    My theory can also explain the outage, well, at least about UL and RG. We know RG changes pw after 50GB of traffic, UL also gives you a limited downloading capacity that you can increase manually purchasing it with money or with earned points.
    Here is my old post:

    Of cause you are right with this point...I also mentioned this a few months ago in this thread.

    But in the end I think Oboom earns its money the same way as every other sharehoster...they offer premium accounts with fast download for people who are coming to their site to download something another Warez site gives the link to. Most people dont know about the possibility of simple creating a free account, transfer the Oboom link and then download with Highspeed. Even at sister site the oboom method is not known by everyone. I dont know how often I read "What the hell is this Oboom?" "and why is everybody so interested in it...its so fu...king slow to download as a free user"....They all dont know how to download with highspeed for free.

    You couldn't be more correct. Advertising and premium accounts. As you also correctly noted not everyone uses cloud storage for WAREZ. They offer a free account hoping/knowing that sooner or later the free storage is not large enough and with more people and businesses relying on cloud storage the demand is there
