18th Jan 2000     -   
After a reasonable break I have decided to start testing Quake III Arena. Hopefully if all goes well it will be up in the next few days.


26th Dec 1999    -  
The old counterstrike half-life stats seem to have developed a large problem, under certain conditions log files are being continuously reprocessed. This is causing a few lucky players to appear as if they had played hundreds of games. No log files have been lost so I might write some code to provide our own stats


16th Dec 1998    - The Open Day? 
I really dont know know long this site and the game servers have been up and running but as I was going back through some receipts I found.one with this date on it. I'll use this date up as it was definitely up and running on the 16th December 1998. Not too bad an effort of providing free game play. Thanks again to Internet Australis for letting me use their bandwidth.
