25 years into the future

25 years ago today, WipEoutZone went live. It seems incredible to think that the site has been on the internet for quarter of a century!

I've often thought that websites age in dog years and, over time, I've redesigned the site several times just to refresh it or add new functionality.

Of course, the site hasn't seen much care and attention over the last 8 years and the record entry system has been down for longer than that, after the site got hacked in 2012.

However, to mark the 25th anniversary I've been working away on a rebuild of the site, updating it to modern standards and reinstating the record entry system. I hoped to have it live today but it's been a bigger task than I anticipated and I feel that it deserves a proper effort, rather than a rush job.

Whilst I've been refactoring the main site, our friend in speed Amigo Jack has been working on upgrading the forum. Our upgrade to the latest server side versions of everything will mean the forum will have to come down for a bit but I'll keep everyone informed when that happens.

Hopefully, it won't be too long before WipEoutZone is future proof for another 25 years!
