How well are we doing?
Sunday 21 June 2009 - 16:58:25
As with every 6 months I review how well my sites are doing, it would appear in the past 6 months our monthly unique visitors have shrunk almost by half.

I am regretting my decission to force everyone to use a 7z compatible program, would our users like to see the return of zipped archives?

I also wonder if our video guides are actually any good, are they really required?

As I have had no chance to test any maps to see if they work on SC 4.0 is this also a problem?

In the next few months I will again be changing hosting provider, due to the pound weakening against the Euro our hosting costs have increased by 30%.

Hi all, unfortunatly whilst I was away working this week our VPS provider decided to change their own host.
This caused issues as I was not aware until today and so all the sites were pointing at the old ips including the name server addresses. I have now corrected this but it may take some time for everyones DNS to update!
