Redefining what puush is.
Hey guys,

We're making some important changes to puush and want to inform you of how it will affect our service.

When we first conceived puush in 2010, we wanted to create a straightforward way to help us quickly share what was on our screens. Soon after, we extended puush to allow us to throw small files around too. Since then, we’ve seen a massive uptake and tremendous support from our users. The problem is that a tremendous majority of puushes aren’t being accessed again after 24 hours - in fact, only 10% of puushes are accessed after a month.

puush to us is a quick way to share things. puush is not a data warehouse.

We do not wish to become a file locker, file storage or backup service. There are plenty of other solutions out there that do a much better job of this (e.g. Dropbox), so what we want to do is this:

Stop offering permanent storage, and files will expire after not being accessed for:
Free users: 1 month
Pro users: up to 6 months
Remove the 200mb limit for free users
Offer an optional Dropbox “sync” for pro users (i.e. automatically save a copy to dropbox)

How this will affect you after the 1st of August 2013:

You will no longer have an account storage limits. Feel free to puush as much as you want!
We are going to start expiring files. At this point, any files which haven't been recently viewed by anyone will be automatically deleted after 1 month, or up to 6 months for pro users.
If you wish to grab a copy of your files before this begins, you can download an archive from your My Account page (Account -> Settings -> Pools -> Export).

As an example, if you have puush'd images which are being used on a forum, as long as that thread is visited at least once a month (or up to 6 months as a pro user) your files will always be accessible.

We have some more awesome changes coming to our service in the near future! If you have any questions about these changes, don't hesitate to contact us at [email][email protected][/email].

For those interested in switching across to pro, we have made the payment options available again here.

Regards,
The puush team

Time to download all the saved images in puush and upload them to another service :(
Sort of sucks they are doing this but business along with server costs.
At first I was thinking it fake but checking the website I found that post.

Forget who told me about it in the shoutbox.

I didn't even know what puush was. I just use imgur, mediafire, and megaupload.

This is fair enough to be honest, think of all the wasted bandwidth! Nice to see them updating their policy on this Winky Winky. Good update RTS :y:.

It sucks that is has come to this, but I do agree with where they come from. I myself am not guilty of file hoarding since I tend to send the same puush to people depending on what it is. But I might have one or two puushes that just sit their and collect dust. Might as well add this, but I bet someone is about to jump into the scene and start up a image/screen sharing program and do what puush used to do to get people who want to live the nostalgia.

There's plenty of alternatives like screencast, screencloud, etc. But I also understand why they are doing this. Nice update, RTS.
