Yes, I am blowing my own trumpet, but I won't link to the site as that's not the done thing.

Just launched an eCommerce site for a client, and had to move it to a new server 3 days later due to traffic! It started on webspace that only allowed 2Gb / month, and it would have topped it in under 6 days.

If only I could do the same with my own eCom sites

I'm sure there's someone out there who can top that ?....

Can't top it.

But I can safely say Curved Basic has grown everyday whether a new tutorial, forum member, resource, etc.

The future is bright.

Mindset has been my most successful. Nothing to do with Game Dev, either...

I'm curious about the product and how the word got out so quickly.

My latest site is http://www.fire-on-the-suns.com. But, that is going to be pretty much a niche wargamer site until I create some DBP games that I consider worthy.

Nah, can't top that. My biggest work client website uses about 7GB a month and a few use 3 or 4GB a month. Most only use around 1gb a month.

Boo!

Word was on the street!

It's a product you would never imagine has such a high demand...craft stamps, the ones for making your own cards and piccys. They already had a site, but very basic. I put up a "Coming Soon" and listed some of the new features. By the time it arrived, they were chomping at the bit to get in. The majority of customers are your female silver surfers, and it shows in the unpredictable times they buy

You're right, I would never have thunk it. Thanks for the info.
