View the MapNew Server
The website has been down a lot recently. I suppose we’ve been a victim of our own success - it was because we’ve been getting lots more traffic than we ever expected (sorry for any inconvenience, and thanks for your support). We’ve been on Digg.com, we’ve been stumbled, and we’ve even been on German TV, and as such we’ve ended up taking up too much of the CPU on our host’s servers. And we’ve done that lots of times.
But we’ve moved to a new server. This one is a VPS, so it should (we’ll keep our fingers crossed) stay up (although it’s already been taken down once for hitting the database too frequently). The VPS does mean, however, that we can add a load more functionality - so watch this space. We’ve already reintroduced comments and ratings, and we’ll be bringing back the search fairly soon. We’re also going to add the ability to search in a particular area. All that is coming soon, and if you have any other suggestions, we’d love to hear them - paul@mapofstrange.com with your suggestions.
