Oh Hi!

Oh hi! It's been a long time since my last post, right? Well, I, The Writer, have returned, to Write a few more words about the www.funfoll.com project. It won't be very much though, because I'm a very busy Writer, and I got other things to Write too ::- D.

As it stands, www.funfoll.com doesn't have such a happy life. www.funfoll.com isn't such a happy camper. The reason is that the popularity we hoped the website to have is much lower than what it is right now, almost a full year since the launch of the Alpha version. But I will keep hammering at it, adding content and even slowly developing several areas. Unfortunately, it's been 8 months since the website has seen serious development. This is due to the fact that our main developer had other issues to take care of. But maybe this year we will simplify some areas and introduce some new features. I'm working on a way to allow users to upload content and maybe we'll add a blog system to the website. We'll see.

For now, www.funfoll.com continues its slow evolution. We ARE getting more popular, just not fast enough. But who knows, maybe the end of 2009 has some good surprises in store.

As usual, here's some funny stuff for you!

Better Times

Things have improved, if only slightly, for our dear www.funfoll.com website. There has been a significant growth in visitors during this month, something which is very beneficial for us. FunFoll is getting popular, and it's about time, since the website soon turns 9 months since launch. We hope that during the next 3 months until we reach 1 year, we can deliver more quality content to our community and word of us will spread. Let's hope for the best.

Blog posts have been pretty rare, true, once a month, once here, once on the sister blog at WordPress. But I'm very busy with lots of projects. Also, I am the only person left in the www.funfoll.com team. I'm doing all the content adding and soon I will also start doing some minor developments at the website.

Here are a few great things directly from www.funfoll.com:

FunFoll Up, FunFoll Down

As I said on the sister blog FunFoll @ WordPress I am very busy maintaining www.funfoll.com so I don't have so much time to write here. Still, today I'm very pissed off about something, so here I am. So what happened? Our dedicated server in Germany experienced some problems today. This is because of another software we're running there, CaryCary. The Apache log also increased to a proposterous size (3.5 GB). The CaryCary log was 2.5 GB and the database 4.5 GB. We cleaned everything up and after a few hours, the server was down again. CaryCary experienced an even worse problem and the log file increased to about 6 GB.

All this happened at a moment when we needed it the least. Why? Because www.funfoll.com was in an excellent period, better than anything we experienced in the past 3 or 4 months. We had more than 4000 visits per day. And all this came to a sad end today. Due to our own mistakes (we have to admit this!), the big wave passed us and I think we will be lucky if today we exceed 1000 visits. So, it's back to square zero for now. Or at least a long way down. Right now, again, we have to wait for months in a row for our popularity to recover from this hit. We just wasted good moments because our website was nowhere to be found when people came rushing in. So yeah, I'm pissed!

And guess what I do when I'm pissed! I go www.funfoll.com and...

Sing!

Slow Growth

I'm here to report that www.funfoll.com is growing slower than I would have hoped. Much slower ::- (. While this wasn't unexpected, it certainly isn't a good news. I had hoped that we would be in a much better position at the end of July, but we aren't. Fortunately, it appears that we can keep ourselves above the 1000 users per day barrier rather easily. The average for the last few days is 1500. So, the site has been growing in the past two weeks, but simply not enough.

I have been personally adding content to it and keeping things running smooth. My involvement is greater than before, mostly because due to lack of funds, we can't afford a content manager. So I'm it for now. I will not let www.funfoll.com die, that's for sure. As a matter of fact, several improvements are in plan, such as a personal blog for all users and an easier to use content-adding system, which will be used to make www.funfoll.com a moderated community content website, but also allow me to easier add content to it. Right now the development team for the website consists only of me and Gabi, who is responsible for the programming. We will continue to improve www.funfoll.com and hopefully we will see regular above-2000-visitors-per-day figures in the coming month of August.

And now, here's your reward for reading yet another boring post of mine ::- D, straight from the pits of www.funfoll.com

Popularity On The Rise

With great joy we inform you that the popularity of www.funfoll.com is on a constant rise. Things have went quite good for us lately, especially since we joined forces with www.flash-fun.com a few days ago. This brought a large number of new people to our small but growing website. We are also working on ironing out some of the remaining problems we have. There are a few bugs to fix and a few functionalities to implement.

I do have to remind everybody that www.funfoll.com is not yet officially launched. We are just popularizing because of a few partnerships we have established with some websites which now refer us and help spreading the word. But we are still far from the launch.

Because of the fact that we got more work to do at the website than initially planned, it is more and more likely that we will postpone the launch again, with at least a week. This is not yet completely sure, but we are under pressure to make the website work perfectly as fast as possible, as we have an ever increasing number of fans to keep happy about our stuff.

Here's something from our bag of tricks at www.funfoll.com
