Thank you to the person who offered there help on the website the other day(Hopefully you know who you are). But you forgot to include your email address in the message, so please get in touch again.

In the same vein, I am going to stop supporting the site. Since I stopped playing eve it's become harder and harder for me to spend time on the site, and the pressures of work and real life are making it impossible these days. If anyone would like to take over the site, I will still continue to provide hosting and database support, but you could take over control of the code and design. The site is done in ASP with a MSSQL background. I have import scripts for the data feeds(Allthough I haven't done them in a while :P) so you dont have to worry about the hardest part of the site.

First of all, my apologies for the delays with the site. I've just not been available to make any changes and process sign-ups recently, because of me buying a new house. As you can see from these photos, I've got a lot to do yet.

3 weeks in
6 weeks in

Its a lot better than that now, but I've still got a few weeks worth of work to do. Then I will be back and working on the new version.

As I said in the last news, I am still looking for a designer to put his magic touch on the site for the new version, so please please please get in touch if you fancy a crack at it.

You may have noticed the IGB support for the site has been slowly falling to pieces, it's just become to hard to maintain along with all the changes that I've been making, so I'm considering getting rid of it totally. There is a thread in the forums under IGB I have started that details my plans a little more, so please take a read and post any comments you might have, or mail them to me directly.

It is a big change, and I know a lot of people want IGB, but I really feel I can make the site 1000X more useful if I can use a lot more advanced technology than just HTML and basic CSS. And I can add some very funky tools for general use, such as a quick ore/production calculator, a POS fuel management tool(Never forget to fill it again!), agent finder and object explorer. So make your voice heard now, or I might just go ahead and do it!

This will also mean a re-design of the site, so if your a budding graphics designer, drop me a line and we can have a chat.

Yes, you may have noticed the google adsense that has appeared on the site, this is all part of the move to a fee-free site, which is what I originally intended. From today on there will no more fees to pay and anyone who has not received a refund for there subscriptions should contact me immediately. I still take donations to "Jack Tau" in-game, so please send me some ISK if you can afford it, and you think the site is worth it.

I hope everyone had a great christmas and new year, be it on EVE or in real life. We had some problems with the forums that ment some people might have had no confirmation email from the server. I apologise if you are one of these, but I have resurected all the accounts so you can log in with the username and password you selected. Any problems, drop me a line to the usual address(Tony@Enkidu.cx).

It took a bit of badgering, but CCP have updated there website and given us a link on the main homepage. This should help drive up member numbers, and it gives me a bit of a pat on the back I've been needing lately. I've put a lot of time and effort into the site, and sometimes you can start to think its not worth it, but CCPs acknowledgement of the site and the continued sign-up rate has shown me the site is of great use and that I should continue developing it.
A big thank you to all my testers, and just generally to people who have helped me track down bugs and fix the data, I consider you part of the team too!

And as we are doing so well, I have decided to chop the price for a corp with > 10 members, in half! So now its only 5mil a month, or 50mil for an entire year! All members who have allready paid, will have received there refund by now, and had there accounts updated.

Also, check the forums news section for an update on the IGB support, and new changes going in soon.

In a break from the norm, I have started to release the IGB upgrade in pieces, so you can enjoy the speed benefits if your perservering with using it. I will post again, hopefully tomorrow night, when I have finished all the pages.

I have finished the data upgrade, and I'm happy to say it was a 100% success! You should notice all the gaps in the data have been filled and also a noticable speed increase in big queries. Any problems, please let me know on the forums, or use the contact page. I have also started converting the site to use CSS, which will make the IGB version of the site fly. At the moment it is kind of unusable and this is kinda my fault, for not learning everything I needed to know about the IGH before I leapt head-first into it. I will keep you posted...
