Truly a sad moment in F95zone history.
Nopy was pretty much one of the few (or for me, the only one) with decent speed, not captcha crap, ads and all that.
A truly good service that I used since I joined and I will miss so much, since now I just had to use these shitty hosts like anonfile or paid mega to download a file of 8 GB.
We will remember you, Nopy, our favorite host service and the hero we needed.

If the people who are making the games that most of us enjoy on here really want us to play them, they are going to have to start making update patches work properly so we can get them from Mega and the other slower services without having to d/l an entire 5-10GB game each time.
A damn shame. It was a great service. Here's to hoping you can find a way to get things back up and running again.
Who benefits from this other than VPN providers and Mega? All your financial services banning you without cause just screams of collusion. Not to be cynical but you've got to wonder if someone's got controlling stake at paypal has a stake in Mega or something as well.

Well gotta use mega then. i could live with mega if they bloody told me before if there is enough data left to download. more often than not a file is like 3.2GB and after downloading 3.1GB mega says transfer quota exceeded, please pay now. Lol, why not say that before I start the dl?? either way less choice is always bad even though I did not have very good results on nopy from europe (always either 'file cluster is over capacity' or mediocre speed), however at least there wasn't an annoying transfer quota (outside of a nag screen).
Hookay, cards on the table. I will admit I used NOPY for the entirety of my tenure here at F95.
It wasn't til THIS year I realized it was a site-organized download server run by F95. Whether that was my ignorance or the "Hosted by F95" was more prominent is a fool's errand. It kinda makes those "Hey, we noticed you like our service..." pop-ups sting even more.
Granted, I am intoxicated when I begin browsing this site, so again probably on me for the oversight.
I must say, I am curious on how to remedy this situation. My silly solution: make this the standard hub for all downloads of VN's. I mean this seems to be the biggest site to get this type of content (other than SVScomics whose downloads are atrocious), this seems like a moment to expand rather than admit defeat.
I say, and I mean this with the biggest grain of salt, start charging a monthly fee to browse/be active on this site. NOW with that out out the way, start requesting artists room on this site. Basically take from both ends of the creative spectrum; creative and consumer. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW THIS SOUNDS please bare with me.
If everyone pitches in to the server costs then the excellent download speeds remain. So with creative and consumer being the prominent on this site, I can foresee several pro's-con's:
1. Active creators get advertising to their goals and consumers get direct access to the creators. This should mean the creators' need for multiple hosting sites for their content and therefore costs go down so patreon tiers might go down. (PRO)
2. Inactive creators will get demoted/delisted (Looking at YOU ICSTOR), while those who meet goals/communicate get boosted/listed. (Nefastus Games being a good metric for these behaviors) (PRO)
3. This sounds exactly how Youtube operates. It's the kind of mafioso mentality that promotes bad faith actors and will chew up and spit out lesser creators. This community is too forgiving to some and ruthless to others, this set-up will only exacerbate this behavior. (CON)
4. This will only create the next pirate site. Let's be honest, no one wants to pay for content. I am guilty as sin on this, however I am currently subbed to multiple SS and patreon's because of this site. And this will only begin the next wave of piracy and the cycle begins anew. (CON)
For full clarity; I will list all I have subbed to.
Eolo Studios, game: "My Time for You"
Suzinak, game: "Measuring My Cum"
What?, Why? Games, game: "Power Vacuum"
Nefastus Games, game: "Mid-life Crisis"
Warped Mind Productions, game: "Blackmailing the Family"
Westy, game: "Proud Father"
Doc5252, games: "23 Sisters, Daddy's Little Girls"
Killer7, games: "My New Famlily, My New Memories"
Once again this is to illustrate that I would have never found these artists' work without this site. So if one could use this site as a lightning rod of sorts to bring like minded folks together for the "art" we might be able to overcome these obstacles.
Now I know the main issue is with payment processors. This has been in the back of everyone's mind since 2017, maybe earlier. However... we are a creative group. We should be able to advance past this sort of thing.
And I will re-iterate; I am intoxicated during this post. Take ALL of this with the biggest grain of salt you need.

At the very least in nopy's farewell note those that run the site still gave us some hope for "If we are able to make a come back in the future, then we certainly will" so I'll take those words as a promise that nopy will return....one day, either as nopy or under a new identity....

darnit, the only download service that doesnt spam you with annoying "get premium for faster then 50kb download speed" nonsense, or a ridiculous limit in GB per 24h (looking at you Mega). It was my favorite for some time, but i did notice the occasional server issues lately (with some throwing errors when trying to connect/download). It a shame it has to end.
To all uploaders, please keep in mind that many download services are not so great with larger then 1GB download sizes, try to provide people with alternative links if possible. The loss of Nopy will definitely hurt many who regularly use F95.

Same! Nopy was my number 1 personal preferable beside other links like mediafire, gofile or workupload, to me Mega and google drive are too restricted while other site I feel like can't trust enough (mixdrop demanded me to remove adblock) or the speed are too slow to use. Really hope we can find a new alternate site as good as nopy but for now had no other choice but to stick with what we got

Every time I go to download something I still click on the Nopy link out of pure habit, none of the other DLs compare. A shame.

Well fuck, was wondering why nopy had a few issues. Was my go-to for downloads, seeing it goes suck. F, I'll miss nopy, and I'll just hope that it comes back eventually.
