I haven't been able to update the site as i've had problems with the new broadband i'm getting so I've been without internet for about 10 days. There are some good downloads coming when I get it so you will have to wait till then.

I'm also not happy with Master JJ removing my link to my site. I think its because I gave him a 1\10 important rating which I stand by. I gave him that rating since he seems to only have the "Master JJ's Guide to Building" Guide that's his. And he keeps take content of other sites and not giving credit to them.

I've made lots of random updates and you also won't be able to use the contact form until the gamespy servers are fixed. A long time ago we received our 10000th unique visitor!

17\10\04

Populous Awards emailed my old email address and I found it today and it said

Dear Webmaster,
Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, the Awards Site had to close. There has been a lot of talk about the Awards and how they have been unfair with sites voting more than once for themselves and/or other sites. The team released the 'Operation Shaman' idea but this was rejected by many sites. Therefore, the Awards will probably take a break until some kind of agreement is reached. However, we can reveal the winners of Term 4:

Best Design: The Shaman's Home
Best Content: Populous Revolution
Best Features: The Shaman's Home
Best Newbie Site: Populous Uprising
Best Advanced Site: Populous Revolution
Best Name: Blue Warrior Hut
Best Downloads: Populous Revolution
Most Updated: Populous Revolution
Best Webmaster: Blue Warrior Hut

The Best Website award was not marked because of the deletion of the site. We must apologize sincerely for all the trouble caused.

Populous Awards Team

We won 4 awards!

15\10\04

Its hard to do updates since i've got lots of assignments to do. The populous awards is down and I suspect that their 90 free trial with their web host ended so we'll probably have to vote again. Also fundo55 has taken down his website. And my forum is fully working now so sign up by clicking here
