The number of downloads is shown for every replay in the search results (the eye icon on the right side).. like here, but not currently on the actual replay page (ie. http://drop.sc/39214). Would you like to see the downloads on the replay page as well? Anonymous commenting was enabled with the old user system. Bots started to become a problem, so I had to remove that.

I've received 0 donations and 1 registered pro account (huge thanks to him!) over the life of the website, which is now 8 months old. Do you guys have any ideas on how to improve the situation? What would be something that you'd be willing to pay for? Or maybe there are some other ways to generate some income? Any help is appreciated, I'm kind of desperate here! | ||

You could ask some Webhosters if any of them would sponsor a hosting package in exchange for being mentioned on the site. The requirements for Space and Traffic shouldn't be too high I guess? Alternatively: Do you really require a full blown server to host the site? Maybe a simple webhosting package for 10$ could handle it aswell? | ||

Yeah, will definitely make that more visible. Not sure about the situation on other forums. I've made couple of post on Reddit, but they didn't get much attention. I'll give the Blizzard forums a shot, thanks for the tip! On October 01 2011 06:34 kusu wrote: Yeah drop.sc is the best replay sharing site.

Spread the word more! <3u Thanks! The site does have ads.. are you not getting them? Are you running an adblocker perhaps? <3u2  On October 01 2011 06:37 TheOne85 wrote: Great site.

Maybe a simple webhosting package for 10$ could handle it aswell? I thought these were good ideas as well, but went thro the both options and here's what happened: I've already migrated the servers once (from Amazon EC2 to Linode) because the supposedly cheap Amazon couldn't handle the load ( http://drop.sc/news/9 ). While the current servers provide more than what the average load requires.. I'm happy to know that it has also handled a couple of bigger spikes that have happened. Older users probably remember the stability issues the site was having when it was hosted on Amazon.. laggy, unresponsive and down quite often. Fortunately that all is history after migrating to Linode. I've had been really happy with Linode, so I decided to contact them asking for free hosting in exchange for promoting them on the website. They declined telling they don't do such arrangements. PS. What is the forum etiquette for answering back to multiple posts? Is it appropriate to do it like this in one post? | ||

So instead I can get all replays for a player that won't require a SC2 restart to watch? | ||
