I was doing my rounds to some of the sites, found a note from Homey that they have decided to merge the AAO Tracker with Battletracker.com. With the many changes in AA recently, one shouldn’t be to surprised by this move. I just wonder how many folks are gonna be mad after they donated so much the last month or two to the AAO Tracker bank fund to have it shut down so soon after that?
after thinking about it many days and nights, looking at the current situation and the fact that AA3 will probably never support our Tracker … I think I will prepare everything now to merge this website with BATTLETRACKER.COM. We already discussed this several times in the last months.
From our point of view it’s the only solution if we want to stay alive for the next several years. I am also missing that time where I can code new stuff every day, reading feedback from you and adding new stuff and features to the website. But here on this site it’s not funny anymore to code new stuff. The code is so old, so many workarounds and dirty stuff and using old coding languages … We need something new where I can spend my time with adding new features and improving the website, instead with bugfixing and adding dirty workarounds.
I can fully understand that many people DON’T want that because they have panic that it will ruin this website completly and that it will not be the same anymore, but be rest assured that we will do our best so that you will not miss anything there and that there are not too many changes for you at the beginning. All Features and Content you know from here, will be available there too. Plus a lot of new stuff and features. I have a lot of ideas where I know that you also would like this stuff, but I can’t do it here because the old website-engine.
For me and my team there are simply more reasons to merge AAOTracker with Battletracker and then spend all our time and energy again into this project and make the website really kickin ass. I know Battletracker isn’t a perfect website yet, but I only spend 2-3 months with it yet, and there was a lot of stuff to do and new coding languages to learn. Believe me the site will look much better if I spend more time with it. Trust me
At the beginning everything might be looking a little bit ugly, but if you post your feedback and tell me what we should change and do … we will do our best to make your wishes coming true!
Life goes on … it’s time for a change here. The website engine is 7 years old … time for a better and modern one so that we can finally continue adding new stuff and features here.
