Thanks for all the debugging data. We're still trying to figure out the cause, but so far it looks like... just lots and lots of traffic, basically. Botanic has made some adjustments that should allow for more requests without hitting the server's limits, but it might not be the solution to the underlying problem... or it could be exactly what is needed, but traffic may continue to increase, resulting in similar issues again later.
I expect the errors to be less frequent now, at least temporarily, but please continue to indicate when you get the errors so we can track this trend. Again, thanks all for taking the time to help us debug this. :)
@CrazyDuckGames: Same answer as above; you may make a post discussing the software, and include a link to the software, but the software itself is not an art asset, and should not be submitted as such.
You may submit the art assets that you produced with the software and, again, link to the software in the submission description, but it is the output of the software that are 2D art assets, not the software itself.
I'm wondering why OGA doesn't support the CC BY NC license?
Because it makes the assets effectively useless, unfortunately.
95% of all developers who come to OGA for the assets are using them in either an open-source project, or a revenue-generating project. -NC licenses are incompatible with both.
That article isn't what we've based the decision on, but it illustrates the problem well. Also, OGA is hosted in the US, so we typically don't go by German copyright law, but the results are basically the same everywhere in the Americas, Europe, and Japan: The meaning of "non-commercial" is very different from a legal standpoint than it is from a 'common understanding' standpoint. Even indirect generation of revenue by the free hosting site's sponsor may legally qualify as a "commercial use".
Regarding restrictions on copyrighted material, certain depictions, etc: You may only use MidJourney output for personal use unless you are a paying member. In which case you're allowed to do whatever you want with the output provided it doesn't display any trademarked brands or depictions of real people's likenesses (which is actually pretty hard to get it to do accidentally)
There is a reason for it; tinyMCE is way out of date and the spellcheck feature was contributing to some major security and site slowdown issues for many people. Until we're able to get the site upgraded, it's unlikely to be turned back on.
How would you use it if it were a .png?
Done.

Here is an article about German courts conclusions regarding -NC licenses: https://www.techdirt.com/2014/03/27/german-court-says-creative-commons-n...
EDIT: here is the PDF document mentioned in the article: "Consequences, Risks, and side-effects of the license module Non-Commercial -- NC"

Does it still disable your browsers spell check if you click "disable rich-text" below the text box?
