SFMLab was created in late January of 2014. Has it really been that long? I'm frankly astounded that the site has lasted this long. It wouldn't have been possible without your support. Thank you so much.
It's unfortunate that Valve has not pushed substantial updates to Source Filmmaker in a...
2019-02-04 11:55:48 +0000 UTC View PostHi, and a happy 2019 to all of you!
Even thought the new year has only just started, it's already looking to be the most difficult year for the internet to date. Government and corporate censorship are around every corner, and we must fight for our right to an open and free internet.

2019-01-14 21:46:27 +0000 UTC View PostSFMLab and Smutbase will suffer from reduced availability in the next 48 hours due to changes to the loadbalancing setup.
Summary of the changes:
- New web nodes will be configured
- DNS will change to a different loadbalancer (can take 24-48 hours to propagate to your provider)

2018-12-07 16:58:19 +0000 UTC View PostBoth Smutbase and SFMLab will be down for maintenance for a short time, starting now. Should not take more than an hour to complete.
Update: Maintenance has been completed.
2018-11-08 12:00:52 +0000 UTC View PostSFMLab/Smutbase database server will be undergoing some quick maintenance, which may result in reduced connectivity or downtime. Should only last a few minutes but you never know! *knocks on wood*
2018-09-03 14:54:21 +0000 UTC View PostI've begun the process of pruning user accounts that were registered with disposable email addresses such as mailinator, among others. If you are using such email accounts, you should consider signing up with a non-disposable address instead.
2018-05-07 15:07:28 +0000 UTC View PostTime for another site update. This month, several updates have been pushed to the site. Most of them have to do with data collection and privacy. So what's been happening? There's one thing that's been on SFMLab for a long time. It is a Google Analytics script, that's been silently gathering your d...
2018-05-07 01:10:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys, I'm gonna be pushing some experimental changes to SFMLab and Smutbase tonight. If the site is less responsive or unreachable, just let me know through the #bugs-and-features channel on the Discord server.
Also, if a...

Hello to all the new patrons! Welcome to SFMLab Gold! This is where you get to find out that you got pranked!
Last year, on April fools, I took down the entire site to make a point about operating costs of SFMLab. This year I took it a step further by introducing a fake premium subscription servic...

Hey everyone, here's a cool project I'd like to highlight. It's not directly related to SFM, but it might be relevant to some of you.
A lot of model makers use Blender to port models to the Source Engine. Blender is a free and open source 3D creation tool that is developed by a group of volunteers...
2018-02-25 12:59:26 +0000 UTC View PostSFMLab will be down for urgent kernel upgrades. Estimated downtime should not exceed 60 minutes and will most likely be completed sooner.
Update: maintenance has been completed
2018-01-05 08:35:09 +0000 UTC View PostSFMLab has just received the greatest revamp in at least two years. Please report any issues you may encounter.
I hope you'll all enjoy the new look. Hopefully, it will have been worth the wait!
2017-10-14 05:57:35 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
Today I added a feature to SFMLab that many people have asked for since the site has launched. Basically, all furry/anthro content is now hidden by default, similarly to how the NSFW filter works. This also includes content that falls into certain fandoms that are not...

As a result of Microsoft's rate limiting policies and the high number of signups we get from hotmail/live/outlook addresses, SFMLab's Password reset/activation mail system is less reliable than usual. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do about this on our end. Microsoft's policies are what they ...

2017-04-06 17:27:29 +0000 UTC View PostThe new SF server is setup and almost done retrieving all the files. It's still syncing some of the larger packs and it will take a few hours before those will be done syncing. The SF server will be switched over to the new setup pretty soon.
On an unrelated note, I'm hoping to cleanup the SFMLab ...

2017-04-04 16:04:45 +0000 UTC View PostThe US download servers are unavailable for new downloads at this time. And unlike two days ago, there's a legitimate reason!
The US servers have maxed out their disk space. This obviously results in new uploads not syncing to the servers, meaning that only the EU downloads work.<...
2017-04-03 21:45:34 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
As you probably already figured out: SFMLab is fine. The site was never really gone, I'm doing fine financially, am not wanted by the authorities and SFMLab was never in danger of getting shut down. If you were even a slight bit observant, you will have noticed the hidden link (omega...
2017-04-01 22:16:44 +0000 UTC View PostYou're probably wondering where SFMLab is. Truth is, I spent all the ad money on weed so I couldn't pay for bandwidth this month. Unfortunately I had to shut off the servers in the mean time.
In the mean time, I'm hiding from my dealer, the authorities and several loan sharks. If you have any mone...

Hey everyone, here's an update on the Japanese server. Unfortunately I've decided to retire the Japanese/Asian server after only about two months of use. While I still feel there is a need to serve Asia as a continent, the main drawback is that there's simply no affordable hosting provider in the re...

2016-05-31 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone, thanks for your support this month! Thanks to your generous contributions, the Japanese server is now up and running. Unfortunately disc space is limited among hosting providers in the Asia region, so initially I've set it to sync files that were posted the last two months. I w...
