If we didnt change the ISP and server....

[Darky29]

... wc3search would now be permanent down ^^
Since the switch the visitors have doubled and traffic has trippled....
It now gobbles 15-20 gb/day
and has 180'000 visitors a month... generating 80 million hits...

Thanks again for all who support wc3sear.ch

I bet we only need 2 months to put this server to its limits

As soon as RotD is out, the server will probably crash in a spectacular manner after hundreds of people try to simulstainiously download it at once

Also, maps'n'mods in maps.worldofwar.net is suffering from severe problems at the moment (download problems, no updates). People won't long bear that. I would expect a huge increase in popularity here, if maps'n'mods continues to decline.

@Tommi

Maps'n'Mods is a greedy page.... they earn alot with ads and now just force people to pay for the downloads... otherwise you only have 5 downloads for 1 day which is not very much.
Here you'll always have as many downloads as you want. And maps submitted here already got spread faster than on Maps'n'mods

 

[Tommi]

Yeah. I think this site is better now. The map search and sorting capabilities would need some work, though. A simple multi-option sorting/filtering would do. Example actions that I would like to do:

1. Find all 1-player RPG maps and sort them by rating or downloads (in decreasing order)

2. Find all RPG maps and sort them by rating or downloads (in decreasing order)

3. Find all campaigns and sort them by rating or downloads (in decreasing order)

4. Find all multiplayer RPG maps and sort them by rating or downloads (in decreasing order)

5. Find all RPG maps and campaigns by an author

Btw, if you try now to find all maps by GG&K you get an empty list. You might want to look into that.

@Tommi

Sorting you have already... just switch from "Compact" mode to "Detailed"
and you can sort by whatever you want.
Your problem is you have the "&" character in the creators name...
Those value you cannot pass to a php script, because & = start of a new variable...
Theres no way to change this...

Hey, thanks! I learn something new everyday! :roll:

Too bad. Perhaps it could be worked around... :?

 

[Sopho]

Is there a another way to support wc3sear?

 

[oz02]

The ways you can support this site are by either clicking the ads on the front page (the banner on the bottom can be left alone, Darky27 only gets money from those for every time they're on a page) or by donating the money through PayPal (top left of the page) if you have the money for it 8) .

 

[Sopho]

Well the ads on the page don't show up for me and I tried donating by pay pal but it doesn't work - its hard to use...

 

[DarkShadow]

Yeah, same problem. I can't see the adds any more.

 

[Sopho]

" My personal Area " for telling you new/updated resources is somehow replaced with the ads panel...

 

[oz02]

You will be able to view ads as soon as Darky27 integratesthem. He's looking for a way to put them on every page, but until then you can't do anything but donate via PayPal.
