Hello WebFlakians!
Behind the scenes lurks a man, driven to get WebFlake to be the community IPBCore once was. Driven to make WebFlake more awesome, to make WebFlake the awesomest one could say. Faster, bigger, better and more helpful than ever before. Look at that man.. hiding there, by himself, in the shadows and depths of the online world.. slowly plotting what he thinks is his master plan.
Howdy folks! Haven't posted a news update in a while but i'm feeling good today so here it is. I've never been good at writing short and simple stories that get to the point.
The idea of hundreds of people roaming this website per day is slowly fading away - it is but a memory left over from the good ol' forum-/ipbcore days. I'm afraid that if i install the "Members Online Today" mod, the results would be much lower. What is this? I used to run one of - if not THE - biggest forum resource communities out there. WebFlake has merely been my attempt to regain that status, the status and awesomeness that FC/IPBC was. How come it's flow, it's feel and it's greatness are no longer there? For months i've been trying to find the answer to this question, sadly to no avail. Both of my previous sites felt good, they felt great even. Why can't i deliver that same feeling to you guys, to WebFlake? I don't know. I don't know and i'm angry with myself because of it.
How can we fit the needs of everyone and everything forum/webmaster related? How can we get more engagement in webmaster discussion, forums, plugins, themes, code snippets, server maintenance, everything!
Perhaps it's time for a new formula.. yes.. a new formula. What if i just... *pulls a lever* - holy cows! And maybe this.. and this.. yes.. YES!
TL;DR
Time for change, change is good and WebFlake needs a lot of it to get back to the top. I'll be working behind the scenes trying out different "formulas" and experimenting till i find the perfect one. Woohoo!

Upcoming Maintenance
In a day or two i'm gonna make some tweaks to our system configuration, the server and a few skin changes that will most likely go unnoticed. Also looking to change how we serve downloads but that will happen behind the scenes and somewhere else and won't affect uptime.
