We’re moving back to reallycuteasians.com. All new content will be posted there, so please join us

Update: This site will still be here, it’s just that new content is posted on the .com domain

The site has grown a lot on reallycuteasians.net and I’d like to thank the authors and the fans for making this site so popular over the last 1.5 years.

One notable differentiation between this site and many other Asian photo blogs is the community. The site started off without much interaction, but over time, a community started to build. Today we have over 20,000 comments, more than 38,000 votes over 45 polls, and have collaborated via photo scavenger hunts to make some of the most popular posts on this site (the short skirts and stockings gallery alone has over 420,000 views). Thanks everyone for making that happen

Finally, thanks to the hundreds of site admins and bloggers who have mentioned this site to help it grow in popularity. In the end, we fell just about a week from achieving 5 million visitors (so close)

The server has been down quite a bit these past few days…it just cannot handle the server load anymore. I suspect the problem is primarily due to the number of posts and visitors. With more than 1,700 posts on this site, the effectiveness of caching is greatly reduced. Back when Asian Poses was more popular, this server could handle 40,000-50,000 visitors/day with a handful of cached pages, but for RCA which is over 15,000 visitors/day and over 80,000 page views/day, there is usually around 200-300 cached pages generated and cleaned every 5 minutes (that’s a bad thing).

I’ll try to get this sorted out by next week…I thank the other authors and the loyal fans for making this site popular enough to break this server. Hopefully we’ll see you soon on another server

For our feed partners, please forgive me for removing your feeds temporarily to reduce the server load…

Lately I’ve been getting emails and comments about this site redirecting to other bad sites or having annoying ads.

To help improve the RCA experience, please tell me if you are having any issues like these so I can fix it, since I myself, have never seen these problems.

If you see redirects, please send me a screenshot of the offending site, tell me what browser you are using, and if possible please send me the HTML source for the RCA page you were on (so I can see what javascript is running and whether there is any iframe or other script injections). That will help me diagnose these issues.

Thanks.

Update: Adbrite ads have been removed, there should not be anymore “talking” ads

It has been a little more than a year since reallycuteasians.net moved over to wordpress. Although the original theme did have some minor fixes along the way, I decided to adopt a different theme. As always, the theme was heavily modified, so if something is broken please let me know! I did most testing on FireFox and only did sanity checks on the latest IE, Opera, and Chrome (Safari on the iPod needs some fixing).

I’m not a website designer, so if I committed any design faux pas, please let me know. Also any feedback is welcome too (the old theme had modifications based on reader comments).

Hope you like it

Update:

• Provided a bunch of fixes based on feedback
• It’s nice to see so many people have gravatars now!
• I am told that recently, there are cases that RCA redirects to some other site. If you notice anything suspicious, please tell me and provide as much information as possible (URL or screenshot). I take security issues very seriously, to prevent these evil, evil people from ruining the RCA experience

A few people have asked what happened to the forum since it’s been down for a couple of days. Long story short, after some investigation the data on the forums got wiped out and I no longer have the database backup on my computer, so looks like it’ll have to be started over again

When I have more time next week, I’ll have to set it up again or find another forum engine since SMF is pretty bad when it comes to spambot abuse…

So after being down for about 10 hours there are a few changes to the site. Unfortunately the server can’t handle view counts anymore so this function has been disabled. In the near future I may need to switch to VPS hosting and host images on a separate server…it’s fairly pricey and is not as convenient for uploading photos, so I’m delaying it as much as possible.

Please note that comments may be out of sync due to some heavy caching.

Two years ago, armed with what I then believed to be a large collection of 30 Hwang Mi Hee photos, I made my first post on Really Cute Asians. Little did I know that the few visitors would eventually grow into what you see today. If you had told me back then that this site would be joined by three passionate and dedicated authors, have a large community of fans, would have thousands of photos uploaded per month, and be ranked in the top 25,000 most visited sites in the world (according to Alexa), I would have said that you were high.

By now you may have an idea of some of the girls we authors are obsessed with (or just like posting). If you take a look at the sidebar, the popular tags lists a few girls that we have posted excessively as a team. As you’ll see, there are some girls we particularly like to share

Really Cute Asians will be celebrating its 2nd Anniversary in a few weeks and I thought it would be nice to start with some fresh new banners. All the gruesome details can be found via the home banner contest #3 thread. Happy photoshopping!

After more than 19 hours of being down, Really Cute Asians returns! I’m may remove the view count temporarily to lower the CPU usage so my account won’t get suspended again. I’m not sure if it was malicious or not, but it certainly wasn’t because of Kotaku.

If this problem persists, a solution is to split off the Korean posts to another site and server, as those posts tend to be quite CPU intensive. I’ve been thinking about splitting the site for a long time, but I guess now is a wakeup call and I should at least begin preparation.

Really Cute Asians now offers advertising slots, which are self-hosted (i.e. not through a third party ad provider). However, don’t be alarmed, the site will still have a minimalistic advertisement. For advertisers who are interested, you can view more details at the Advertise page. Due to minimalistic advertising, your ads will have a greater opportunity to be noticed. The top leaderboard has already been purchased, but other ad slots are available.

This morning I finally got the motivation to perform some much needed updates to the forum. The theme has now been updated to match the main site and updated to the latest SMF version. I did make modifications to the theme code, so if you get some php error, please tell me The update also broke post viewing temporarily, but that has been fixed.

Feedback is always welcome and maybe if people are up to it, we can have a forum banner contest.

The forum layout was tested on: Firefox, IE, Opera, Chrome, and Safari

You might have noticed that after a month of no ads, one has shown up again. I would like to get locked into a contract for the two hosts that currently support the Really Cute Asian Network sites. However, that means paying $572USD up front, which is a bit risky considering I’m relying on Hwang Mi Hee Fan and Asian Poses for revenue. I will still keep minimalistic advertisement, so you won’t see those annoying full page ads, inline text ads, or like 15 banners.

There are two active photo scavenger hunts available right now. I have extended the date for both hunts to June 4, since the forum was down for more than a week when I switched to another server.

Back in late April, I had made a post called Name that Pose, which hinted towards the creation of another website. Well, several weeks later, I finally finished customizing the theme and pushed out a few posts. This site really is an ongoing photo scavenger hunt for popular Asian poses and the post galleries will be updated as new photos emerge.

Feedback is always appreciated! You can find this new site at asianposes.com

Enjoy!
