Progress update...

Design

We're finally finished with our design, yay :) Time to start implementing.

Server Stats

As mentioned earlier today, we built a proof-of-concept Windows app that retrieves server stats every few seconds. We'll see where this goes...

SMS

We did some more research into the whole SMS thing. It's pretty expensive :( - it was approximately R80 for 200 SMS's for an entry level option. We were hoping to incorporate an SMS function into the ladder system, whereby you would be notified of a challenge via an automated SMS from the site when someone challenges you, after which you reply with a yes or no (or whatever) and that automatically accepts for you. It's too expensive to incorporate initially though. We have a backup plan, but that will mean only vodacom subscribers can use this feature.
