Is this still relevant anymore, considering the 2 year bump?

This is still relevant. We have been working hard on a SOW but we do severely lack the funds to get anything accomplished. Currently we have obtained a coder and are in search of a designer. Shortly I will be posting details of what's planned and look into getting feedback from you guys, the whole community as you are the ones who will be using it. The feedback will be used to improve current features, add new features. Get rid of unused sections and overall make a kick ass website that you can be proud to make your home page and make frequent visits.

We do want coastercrazy be everything you want it to be. Cash has always been the issue here. The desire to improve have always been there and hopefully, if our plans work out, we might get a nice cash infusion to pour into the development of coastercrazy that would bring it to this decade's tech. Thanks for sticking with our outdated website for so long but it is the best we can offer at this time. Hopefully that changes soon.

Warm Regards,
Oscar and Mike

It would not be what it is if its great history of track uploads and ratings were lost. Therefore, I'm a bit shocked to see the result of this poll. An exchange wipe would be so sad. I think the site is great as it is. [^]

I would vote for Option #1, But had a ideal why don't you archive the tracks to a dvd set that people could purchase from the NL1 that way you would get funding for NL2 revised Website. That way you can save space but if people want the tracks they would be willing to purchase them. If you wanted to create something like that I'm willing to help. I could make them on either Dvd or Blu-ray as Data disk that way you will have the funding you need. I'm not sure how big all the files you have compiled are on the site but we could take the top 100 in every category and create this. We could also create for RCT3, URC, etc. Let me know

The track files alone mount up to a bit over 32 gigs of disk space [:p] I'll be posting a new post and I just got assurance 30 seconds ago that the tracks will be saved.

What about if you'd just save like all the tracks that got ratings from 7 and up or something like that? I think you'd get rid of like 60-70% of the tracks. Usually tracks with really shitty rating and whatsoever aren't even worth saving.

Disk space is not an issue [:)]
