What do you think of the new server? (Time out:0 days after 24-04-2002, 03:54)
IT RULEZ!!!
IT SUCKS!!!
It's good and bad.
Not much different than GameStats.
It's too early to say.
New server? Since when?
Huh? What's a server? Translation: I'm a computer dummy!

What does everyone think of the new server? Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Apolyton switched to a new server recently. No longer hosted on GameStats, the new server's name is SETTLER.

What do you think of the server so far? Is it fast? Reliable? Secure? Is it too early to say?

Vote! And post your thoughts here.

Clearly the new server has worked the last couple of days (part of the reason I have returned). We will see if it stays that effective over the long term.

Not much difference in functionality for me. Which I suppose as the server has moved 4000 miles further away is a good sign.
