A bit of a victim of success
🕑 Added 2020-08-17 04:31:05 +0000 UTCAt the start of the month we bragged that on Aug 1st we had the most users of Wabbajack in a single day. At that time we would have never guessed that that record would be broken by 2-3x in the next week. Shortly after that post, PC Gamer ran an article about Wabbajack, and since then our user base exploded. That's fantastic, but it does come with a few drawbacks.
The modlists for Wabbajack are hosted on a CDN that's reliable, simple and yet also the cheapest in the business. But even then our monthly distribution went from about 25TB in June, to what will probably be close to 54TB this months. I'm committed to supporting this project purely through donations. So if you support us now, thank you! Your support allows me to keep the lights on. If you aren't supporting the project financially, and are able to, please consider making a donation via Patreon. The download cost for a single modlist is somewhere in the range of $0.02USD in bandwidth costs, but seeing as we've had 24,000 installs in the past month, that adds up pretty quickly. So even if it's just a dollar, that's a great way to "pay it forward" and allow a good 50 other people to enjoy the service free of charge.
Everyone loves charts, so attached is a fun graph of the usage of our services over the past month, can anyone guess when the PC Gamer article was released?

I found wabbajack by accident while looking for help with a mod I was having trouble with, and I have to say what you guys are doing is awesome! This is something I'll gladly support.
Couldn't be happier with the service the Wabbajack team provides. Keep up the good work!

Huh. I was actually wondering whether the news that the Lexy build is going dark would cause a spike. I guess PCGamer > Lexy ...
