Yeah! BRPS is one year old!

One year ago (11/11/2008), I announced that BRPS had been bringing online. It reached 1000 requests/day in less a month. A month old, it ran of free quota because more than 200,000 requests a day. Therefore, I started to tweak the code to make it run faster and use less resources. I also implemented a reviewing system to allow me easily to block some bad blogs.

The results are great. I doubled the capacity with same amount of resource. Currently it has 160,000+ requests a day (1.85+ completed requests/second) and 350+ active blogs every hour. More than 2,000 blogs and 50,000 posts are stored in datastore.

Currently, it has 2177 blogs registered, only 140 blogs are accepted (6.43 %) and 831 blogs are blocked (38.17 %). You may think blocking rate is quite high. In deed, there are a lot of bad blogs on Blogger. I have to honey to say after I started to review blogs, I have tagged people from certain country who using Blogger (Only those use blogs, they still have good and talent people, a lot!) with very low value. 95% of their blogs are involving copyright infringement. All posts were copied from here and there, they don't even have rights to claim fair use. Some of them are suspicious to using automatically method to create mass blogs and posts. They are just awful and without moral and honor.

I had thought about to expand to BRPS' features, but the resources didn't allow me to do that. I want to keep free. The incoming bandwidth (750 MB out of 1000 MB) is the current one would probably to exceed the quota. If BRPS have more bloggers use it, soon, it will blow and I have no way to avoid it.
