Firstly the news is we have recently finalised our new dedicated server, this is now in the process of being built by our new uk based hosts, and everything should be moved over by the end of this month, there of course maybe some downtime involved, we're not sure as yet, but we'll try to make the transition as smoothly as possible.
Its very exciting and a powerful system we have gone for, to give us some growth, and breathing space, its cost us a bloody packet mind you
but with the generous help of our sponsors etc, we've been able to cover these costs.
This has secured SCN at least for the forseeable future.
Other projects currently in the pipeline, to co-incide with the new server, will be a forum software upgrade to the all new vB 3.5, and were also currently rebuilding our website with a new fresh look, and more features, so a few nice things to look forward to this year, and with any luck SEAT will win the BTCC too.
Statistics
For the statto's amongst you, or just for idle interest, i've collated some stats for you, for the last 12 months or so on SEATCupra.net. 2005 certainly pushed all the right buttons it seems, to the point where we have of course had to evaluate our server requirements to cope with demand.

Im not putting them all up as its done on a daily basis, but ive listed some of the busiest days of the past 6 months, starting with the single biggest busiest days.
October had the biggest interest this year it seems, seeing over a thousand of you on these days listed. Must of been something interesting happening then.

On average though, over 900 of you a day, take a look at SEATCupra.net, with less at weekends, averaging in the 700s.
Christmas day not surprisingly was the least busy period of the past 6 months or so, but even still, 522 of you managed to drag youself in front of the PC at some point that day. And 662 of us managed to be online on New Years Eve.
Now our server traffic statistics the big numbers.
