Hello everybody,

for those of you who are wondering what I've been doing since the last release, here is the answer: the custom sounds feature that was added 3 months ago quickly became more popular than anticipated and because of that, the servers had to be changed, the scripts had to be optimized, the database had to be reconstructed, etc...
During the last weeks, I did my best to fix all the little glitches that were still annoying some people from time to time (examples: a sound cannot be downloaded by a contact, random sounds always return the same thing, servers are down in the middle of the day, ...). I'm now happy to report that the sound servers' lift-off is complete and that everything is working better than ever! I highly encourage anybody who had troubles with the feature before to try again and join the millions of people who are now using the feature on a daily basis.

And to conclude this little announcement, it is my pleasure to announce that the statistics page is now back, fully operational, and much more detailed than before. It is updated once a day and you can access it at http://sounds.msgplus.net. Two months ago I was reporting 20 million sounds being exchanged. This statistic was based on several assumptions that I thought were right and, well, they weren't... now that the real statistics have finally been compiled, the astonishing number of sounds that were sent since the first day is floating around 300,000,000!!! no wonder the servers were agonizing every day at peak time .

Have fun sending sounds and continue to enjoy this year's hot summer! (or cold winter, depending where you are living).
