...of course, with such a major change as this, some things are going to be a little bit wonky for a little while. If you find any bugs, anything that doesn't work the way you think it should, anything that looks a bit weird, or anything that's obviously broken, please let us know! We've set up a forum thread to help us with bug-squishing, so you can just post the details there! Easy!
It's not just cosmetic changes, either. We've moved the website to all-new hardware, including upgrading things from 32bit to a 64bit platform - and the new webserver is 8x faster than the old one, with 16x the memory!
Some more technical stuff for you, if you're that way inclined:
With mirrored Sun SAN equipment in Adelaide and Sydney, the Games On Net Content Delivery Network contains in excess of 15,000 files – totalling more than two terabytes of data. Currently, the network’s most popular games are Team Fortress 2; Call of Duty 4 and Counter-Strike: Source and can deliver 200 dedicated games at any one time, with the capacity to handle more than 4000 concurrent users.So - what do you think? Have a look around our new digs, let us know what you like, what you don't like, and what's broken.
The redesigned games network features a more inviting screen layout, a range of Web 2.0 technologies to create a more compelling gaming environment and new hardware to dramatically improve the network’s performance. The network's visual and structural redesign broadens its appeal for gamers of all ages, with the selection of lighter, brighter colours intended to "make the network easier on the eyes".
Launched in mid-2002, the Internode Games Network has provided gamers with the best online gaming experience possible. People use the network to play interactive games online, legally download games or demonstration versions of popular new titles, swap hints and information and follow news about the booming area of online gaming.
With servers in SA, NSW, WA and Queensland, Games On Net is one of the largest and most distributed game network services in Australia. The network’s server farm has more than 60 game servers, plus web and database servers. Games On Net runs both Gentoo Linux and Microsoft Windows operating systems.
This is Games On Net - enjoy your stay.
