As I warned you about earlier, we would move our domain to a new provider. That has now happened succesfully, and all of you should now be able to visit the site again :) In the upcoming days we will work on improving the site. We will move most of our files from the old server to the new server, meaning that you will get much better speeds than before. The server-move has also resulted in the come-back of "Random Screenshot", our very popular feature. All in all, we are now prepared better than ever for the future.
It's no secret that PCM.daily has had 2-3 amazing months with lots of activity and lots of new user registrations. For the same reason, we have got notice to quit by our current provider, meaning that we will have to move. This move can happen at any point throughout the upcoming 48 hours. When the site has moved you will get a message saying that the site is under maintenance, and that we are currently moving. Later that day, the site will be reopened.
This server move also means that we - in the future - will be able to have our files hosted at a much faster server with a lot of space (we will never run out! ;)). To start off with, most of our files will still be hosted at the old, slow server, but we will of course work on getting all files moved to the new server.
Sorry for the inconvenience - after all, it's for the sake of the website which would have been closed down on the 7th of July if we hadn't moved ;)

So, who won? 5 people had the same number of correct answers (6): issoisso, CapstarDK, Alfonso, Nilea and Savoldelli de Valk. Therefore, I had to decide by lot. And the winner is ....
Impish has made himself "famous" by releasing the Kicker-tool which is the most advanced database editing tools available. Since his old application doesn't work with PCM 2007, he has been working on a new one - and that has now been released in a beta version, the PCM Kicker New Generation Beta.
Basically, it makes you able to export all the tables of PCM 07, making you able to learn about the new structures of the database. It's still unsure if exports will work with PCM07, so we will have to wait and see about that.
