Perhaps some of you have noticed faster page loads recently, as we have been busy optimizing Game-Monitor. One of the main goals is to improve overall speed for visitors outside of North America, and one of the things we did to accomplish this is to start using a CDN.
We are currently working on optimizing server update times, which will effect servers that are not subscribed. Currently the modifications are being tested and benchmarked (so far we are seeing at least a 15% improvement). If you happen to see any servers that are taking an unusual amount of time to update, please report it here, or in the Bug Report forum.
Lastly we are attempting to reduce the size of images and pages delivered to the browser. Most likely you will not notice a considerable improvement due to this, but at Game-Monitor, we enjoy squeezing out every last millisecond.
Please let me know if you have noticed an improvement, or any strange side effects. Also, most of the optimizations are currently being tested on the US1 server, so those accessing the site via US2 will not notice as much of a difference.

I know a lot of you have been waiting for this, and it is finally here!
We have added support for FFOW to Game-Monitor:
[URL]http://www.game-monitor.com/GameSearch/ffow/Frontline_Fuel_of_War.html[/URL]
If you wish to add your server, make sure it is running at least 1.0.2 (also, the query port should be game+2).
You can find the newest patches for the game here:

Lastly I just want to say how impressed I am with the makers of FFOW and THQ, they really seem to care about their community, and are pleasant to work with.
Please note: Not all FFOW servers are listed here, these are only servers that we managed to find, that replied to queries, and that were added in manually through the 'Add Server' page.
Update: It seems that the new server files have been released, here is the news post about it with links.
They also provide information on it here:

We just completed some bug fixes with ETQW servers. Previous player names were being cutting off by a couple of characters, which should be fixed now.
We also added a custom player template for ETQW, so you can see ping times and clan names now.

We will most likely launch the new site tonight (at around 8-10pm EST), unless we find any large bugs. I will also be re skinning the forum shortly after.
If you want to take a peek now at the new site, you can access it here:

Please reply to this thread or go on IRC and tell me if you find any bugs, and I will go through them as soon as possible.
Happy surfing!

Lately we have been going through fixing the small things on the new site, getting it ready for launch, and I am eager to finally launch it.
So I will be looking for people to help test the new site before launch, and would appreciate it if all that are interested come join our IRC channel and are willing to stay there through the duration of the testing, since that will be the means to report any bugs for now.
As for when the new site launches, I have no set time/day, for all we know the new site may be up and operation by the end of the day, or by the end of the week. It all depends on what bugs are found, and what we may find that needs more work.
I would love to set a definite time line, but I rather not rush too fast out the door, as we will already be making compromises by using part of the old web code in the new site and be recoding those sections later.
The IRC channel is: #game-monitor @ irc.gamesurge.net
Hope to see you there, and remember, you will be one of the first to see all the new features and design!
