Hi folks!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to GameBoom for agreeing to host OGA.  What this means for the site is that the $200/month I was paying out of pocket for hosting can all go toward additional art commissions.  The machine we're on right now is every bit equal to the old one (if not a bit beefier in terms of processor power), and it's hosted by a great group of people (as opposed to the spam-friendly host I used to have, which was on email blacklists and had hours of unannounced downtime).

On a related note, if you happen to notice some slowness over the next couple of days, please note that we're in the process of getting everything tuned correctly, so there may be a few bumps.  The default configuration files that come with CentOS tend to assume that you've got unlimited RAM, so I'm making some adjustments.  Hopefully the worst is over.  Also, if you run into any errors, please leave a comment here (or contact me with the site contact form) so I can address them quickly.

Peace!

Bart

Hey folks!

Just a heads up.  We're going to be giving out badges for the weekly challnges from now on.  There will be a unique badge for each challenge (silver for participants and gold for the winner), and if you don't enter into the challenge, you'll miss out on that badge. :)

Here are the badges for this week's Minibosses challenge:

These are based on sunburn's medal bases and use an icon from Ails' fantasy icon set.  They're licsensed CC-BY-SA 3.0 if you want to use them for anything. :)

Note that I'm completely open to letting other people design the weekly challenge badge, so let me know if you're feeling up to it. :)

Peace,
Bart
