Right we have some very good and some slightly bad news to bring you. First the bad news: Over the past couple of weeks we are sure you have noticed some very bad server problems across all of our websites, this is due to an massive increase in traffic that we have had thanks to all of you visiting us and help make us bigger than we could have ever imagined when we first started our website a few years ago. The slow downs/pages not loading/css not loading/ASP forms not working are due to our server company who have decided to cap our bandwidth without letting us know about it. So over the past two weeks we have come to a very big decision that will hopefully change the site for the better.
So now on to the very good news. We have decided to not only buy our own monster of a server, we are also going to be running our own dedicated line for the site, this will not only mean everyone will be able to access the site much faster than ever before, but also mean that we can make the site even better with more sections, more news, messenger alerts, have pages designed for PDA's and have much more user interactivity thanks to our new comments system, forums and chats that are on the way. This will be costing us a lot more money though, more than we currently make back each month on adverts...so hopefully with your help (and by letting more people know about us) we can really make this site a greater resource than it already is.
Thanks from Byron, Bob and the rest of the ActiveWin team for all of your support.
