Also, users that haven’t pulsed for 18 months (note: it was a year before the last edit of this post) will be pruned from now on, to free up space and nicks!

[20/11/2005 — Update]

Due to enough people using the premium services, the contribution has been lowered to $2!

Premium Members who have already paid the $5, will have there subscriptions adjusted to reflect this.

The normal services of WhatPulse, the development of it’s programs, the hosting of the server are being offered to the users for free. This will always remain free.

However. To cover the costs of the server, WhatPulse now offers some extra services for a small amount. For only $2 USD a month you can sign up for these extra services.

These services currently consist of:

– No Google ads

– A maximum of 3 email forwards (you@users.whatpulse.org)

– 2MB for uploading pictures to be used in your profile, or your team’s profile

– Detailed graphs of your statistics

More features will be added with the input of our members, so it will be ever changing!

If you’re interested, you can sign up through the WhatPulse Control center. (http://my.whatpulse.org)

Thanks for your support!

Update on WhatPulse 1.5 for Windows.

There have been alot new features implanted into the 1.5 client already, but mostly improvements.

The server communication has been recoded completely to interact with a custom communication server

designed for WhatPulse. This, for one, makes communication alot faster and safer.

A new save file format, which removes the necessity of registry access, which leads to a more stable save file.

And alot more!

There is no official release date for 1.5, we’re trying to make it as best as we can before releasing it. Soon.

After a few months being hosted with the generous people of BigBlueNetwork,

it’s time to prepare for the future and possible expansions.

Because of these preparations, unfortunatly we had to say goodbye to our sponsor, BigBlueNetwork. We part ways with you with alot of gratitude, thanks for the last few months!

WhatPulse is now hosted within the network of ProServe which gives us the possibilities we need to prepare any future expansions.

This server move shouldn’t affect the website much, the site is going from a P4 2.8GHz to a P4 3.0GHz and a network in the Netherlands. You probaly won’t notice it moving. 🙂

What you will notice however is that the client saves a snapshot of the DNS when you start it. So even if the DNS for de site changes, the client still goes to the old server.

All you need to do is restart your client, and your pulses will go to the new server aswell, that’s it. 😉

Till next time!
