Going through bandwidth like a knife through butter...

I just had a look at the statistics from when I created this website back in late June of this year, right up until now. We're using several gigabytes of bandwidth each month, and it looks like it might just top the double digits by the end of this month if things continue the way they are.

Keeping in mind that we are only half-way through December, those stats are going to outshine any of the months before it.

Our web host, Wikidot.com, recently assured its 400,000 users that reliability would continue to improve, and that the speed at which people can access websites like CycloDS Revolution will increase dramatically due to recent hardware upgrades.

Despite so many people visiting this website (yet barely any of them contributing! :P), Revolution will be around for a long time and for the time being, at least, Wikidot's servers can easily handle the load we're giving them.

There are two things you can do now:

  • Try to contribute to this website by either suggesting improvements, or by actively getting involved and uploading files and skins
  • Speak to us about creating your own Wikidot site for free, as we are willing to share what we have learnt over the last 6 months to get you up and running quickly

And remember to check back on New Year's Eve for a whole new look here at CycloDS Revolution, ready to bring us into 2010! Although we'll post another news report closer to the 25th, I'd like to extend a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. Enjoy the holidays! :)
