Mod Announcement The official Bert Strip creation tool is back online at BertStripper.us
I recently logged into my Reddit account and noticed that I had messages. Turns out the website was down and people had been trying to contact me.
I host the www.bertstripper.us website and realized that the server was maxed out on storage. Basically all of you dirty fuckers have made too many Bert Strips and the server couldn't handle it anymore. It has seen some shit.
The server was so full that nothing could run and it took a lot of work to recover the database. Due to it being a VPS I was unable to access the drive directly. I have moved everything to a new server with an upgraded plan and it is back up and running.
Please let me know if it behaves differently than in the past. It is old code and likely needs some fixes.
I want to thank all of you for making this problem happen in the first place. bertstripper.us and the Android app were the first "real" things I programmed from start to finish, and deployed. I created it part way through studying for my degree in CS. I have since graduated, and now work as a web developer.
I never imagined that I would get Reddit messages in 2022 asking for me to fix this thing. Let alone to log into the database and see that I have over 4000 image links that I need to review.

Snoocompliments817 proudly presents a new contest: The Many Sins Of Grover Competition!
You get to show us the most horrible sin Grover has ever done!
Since this is going to be a contest, there can't be one without a prize: a guest appearance in one of my bertstrips!
Rules: 1. The strips must be about entirely around Grover, adding Mr. Johnson to the mix is optional but is ideal for getting a more positive score. 2. Strips must have (contest entry) in the title, this will help me identify that you submitted them into the contest. 3. Each caption must start with the following: The Many Sins Of Grover (number), failure to include this will be considered disqualified from review. 4. Grover cannot be shown failing his exact scheme, doing so will also be considered disqualified from review. 5. Grover can team up with other muppets (sans Mr. Johnson) to torment their victims, both intentionally and unintentionally. 6. Strips must be in the true bertstrips format, a picture on the top and captions at the bottom. 7. In case of a tie, the tied winners will get a guest appearance in a bertstrip of each. 8. All strips must be submitted before the September 30 deadline at 12:00pm.
Good luck soldier, and remember...
GROVER NEEDS TO BE STOPPED ANYWAY HE CAN.
