Why aren't you launched yet!

Postby Vreel on Tue May 06, 2008 9:47 am

So, following our first delay to May 6th, we're now switched to "May 2008".

This is for a multitude of reasons.
Firstly, our (previous) lead programmer liked to keep us guessing by vanishing for days at a time - making it near impossible to communicate any changes to him. I'm not sure if he's even aware that we've switched to Vreel.net. We're currently working with a highly regarded coder team, in order to avoid any further delays and dissapointment.

Secondly, this thing has literally exploded since we started up - following the green light we got from DivX, we got a huge amount of attention - and a couple of servers based in the US just wasn't going to cut it anymore. Limelight Networks approached us with a contract with thousands of servers all over the world at 1.8TB/s+ connectivity - which we just couldn't turn down. This does add on a small workload, and will slightly lengthen the testing process - but we shouldn't be looking at any sort of dramatic time increase here.

And finally, we're in the process of speaking with advertisement partners. As any videophile in the world can tell you, streaming HD video eats bandwidth like there's no tomorrow - and rather than collapse under our own debt within a month, we'd prefer to find a solution which will allow us to run freely, without having to shut down most of our servers, or forcing a paid subscription.

We'd like to further apologise to everyone for the delay - there's not too long left. Hang in there :D

Well, if it's all for avoiding your page to get eaten alive by the popularity and thus being to expensive to live then it's worth the wait.
No use in having a page that'll die in a few months.
