Not quite seven and a half million years, but...

To everyone looking at this web site, thank you, and thank you for your patience. Our servers are currently returning answers slightly faster than Deep Thought would, but to be honest we might have to organise a Steward's Enquiry to verify that.

We were insane enough to launch our web site on live national UK TV, and now we have the web server logs to prove it. Thanks to Tomorrow's World for giving us such a great launch.

Our net connection is under severe strain at the moment, and our web server, while struggling bravely on, is waving frantically at us and gesturing for Lucozade and Kendal Mint Cake - but the site is ticking over. It's just a little slow at the moment. Thanks to all the people who've managed to register and start contributing.

Naturally, we're currently looking into various strategies to improve the response times for the site, due to the frankly overwhelming response we've had from you. Some are short term, others are long term - they will start to come into effect over the few days and weeks.

We've just installed another server to cope with the demand, and the situation seems to be getting better.

As for the future plans, it is tricky. And we're going to have to think about it. But we're pretty sure it won't take seven and a half million years.
