Firstly we have added a few more <a href="http://www.defacto2.net/blog-count.cfm?id=154&url=http://www.defacto2.net/cracktros-detail.cfm?type=all&List=submit">cracktros to the database</a> as well as a number of Kaos installers. Thanks to all the people who uploaded these using our new <a href="http://www.defacto2.net/blog-count.cfm?id=154&url=http://www.defacto2.net/site-upload.cfm">upload form</a>.

Also we are pleased to announce that the databases we use have been given a tune-up. You should notice that once resource hungry areas of the site (such as browsing the cracktros) are now a lot quicker and more responsive. In addition we have down-converted all the cracktro screenshots to 8bit 256 colour PNG images. This will make them smaller and thus quicker to download.

Finally our <a href="http://www.defacto2.net/blog-count.cfm?id=154&url=http://www.defacto2.net/poll-comments.cfm?poll=3">3rd poll</a> ('What was your favourite scene game review publication?') is closed. Not suprisingly game-over.net won it easily while The Gamers Edge came in second. Surprisingly Ionizer's The Game Review came in a dead last. Maybe most people are too young to remember it or maybe you guys simply are not fans of text based publications?
<p></p>
Anyway don't forget to vote on our current poll, "Which would have been the best PC scene to be a part of during their heyday"?
