Server Upgrade!

Thanks to everyone for being so patient as sk3themes goes through some growing pains! With so many themes (4300+) and so many people downloading (almost 3.4million downloads), it's been hard to keep the server from melting. So to help everyone get their Sidekick themes a little easier, I've scheduled an upgrade to the server on Friday, just in time for the weekend. If you happen to try to visit sk3themes on Friday at the wrong time (i.e. during the upgrade), you may not find the site. Don't worry, we're not going anywhere and it'll be back up before you know it. Go play a game of Sonic the Hedgehog or Dance Dance Revolution and check back in an hour or so. The web guys say the downtime should be minimal too, so you may not even notice. :) Once the server is back up and going, it should be faster than before!

Site downtime

We've been experiencing some hiccups with the server lately. In short, the site is getting too busy for it's own good and it's bringing the server to a crawl. Sorry for the slowness and occasional downtime. We're actually looking into upgrading the server so that everyone can get their themes quickly and easily again. Just to give everyone an idea of how busy we are, we did over 1.5Tb (yes, 1,584 gigabytes) of data last month. That's just crazy. We never expected things to be this busy.

So hang in there, server upgrades are on their way!

psst.. early mornings and late nights are the best time to get themes, while everyone else is sleeping. :)

New rating system

We just made a new rating system live on sk3themes.com, bringing us up to v3.2. The rating system is integrated more with the site and we'll be able to do much more with this in the future. The old rating system was dependent on another site for it to work and that worried us a bit. So enjoy the new system, let us know what you think, and if you run into any problems.

Testing 1, 2, 3

We figured it'd be easier to explain the goings on with sk3themes.com with a blog. Hey, everyone's doing it these days, right?
