Well, it looks like I owe apologies all around. I'm sorry that the archive has been down for about 11 hours. There were some upgrades planned last night to keep the server ticking over happily, and unfortunately there were problems between the server host and me that kept the server down for a lot longer than it needed to be.

Everything should be smooth sailing from now and there's nothing wrong beyond this upgrade going very badly - don't worry, the archive isn't going anywhere! Do drop me a line if you notice anything funny or off, or if you have any questions.

From now on I'll try to keep you guys posted about any maintenance that's planned, regardless of whether I expect it to take 30 minutes or not.

Sorry again!

The LP Archive has joined forces with Project Wonderful to try and keep the archive afloat, while avoiding annoying adverts.

If you are interested in advertising on the archive then do feel free to pop over to the welcoming folks at Project Wonderful! If you have any questions do feel free to get in touch with us.

To those of you using adblocking add-ins - I understand. I really do! I hope you would consider whitelisting the archive, we really have done our best with them. Even if you never click an advert it really will make a difference. If you have any questions or constructive comments then please feel free to drop us a line.

To begin by stating the obvious, the archive has been redesigned from the ground up. Every LP and update has been brought in line with the new design as well.

With this, a fair amount of conversion has gone on and you might notice some problems with LPs or updates. If you see any, please send me an email or file a bug report to let me know what is broken.

I hope you like the new site!

You may have noticed a few weeks ago that the LP Archive was spitting out a lot of errors. To make a long story short, they should no longer be a problem. The catch is that the hosting now costs significantly more.

This means that advertising will very likely be coming soon to the main index page here, and the index pages of each of the LPs. I'm trying to find out how people feel about this, so if you feel very strongly against this idea please email me and let me know.

Forum members can check out the thread about this on the Awful Forums.

I've finally implemented the new features that I have been meaning to. You can now indicate which LPs you enjoy by clicking the icon next to them, or by clicking the link in their summary popup.

You will also find in the summaries two new addition: tags, which can be searched upon from the main page under 'tag cloud', and a list of recommendations by other users who enjoyed this LP.

Let me know if you have any comments or suggestions.

The LP archive has had a makeover. With a new design, hopefully the layout is a bit cleaner and will get you around the site quicker and easier.

We have some new features in the works which are hopefully coming soon - so keep an eye out.
