Flamebate

I’ve been updatting Twitter a lot more lately than the blog, mainly because most updates don’t warrant a full posting. If you have a Twitter account you can follow forumwarz for more frequent updates. Actually, even if you don’t have Twitter you can just subscribe to the RSS feed there and you’ll get all our updates.

We decided to finally do something about it and ordered 3 brand new servers, all of which are faster than our current server.

I’ll probably throw in some nice looking bar or pie charts. If you want to try it out, check out the How much would you pay for Episode 2? thread. ...

We’ve added a new Contests Forum in flamebate. You can use it if you were interested in running a contest for BP and earning that coveted Big Give E-Peen!

Ever since we launched INCIT, our chat room (IDC) has been a little dead. Another reason for the lack of activity is that the only link to open IDC was quite buried in Flamebate.
