VDealer - View Counter Unavailable

Its been like this for a few days now, could we have it back please? It is useful for seeing what is working.

Thanks.

I'm afraid that we've had to turn it off as it was generating a massive load on the database which could no longer cope, causing the entire site to slow down.

We are currently trying to get funding for new view-count system, but it might be a little while before this is all approved by the relevant people.

Trying to get funding? Are you being serious? Pheds advertising gets more and more expensive each year and we dont get anything extra for it

The problem is that the money for servers comes out of the technical budgets, but what you guys pay goes in to the dealer team budgets, so we need to get some money out of them to pay for what you need. A bit bureaucratic, but unfortunately that's the way these things work.

The good news is that (as expected) it was quickly approved and so it should we should have a new server going live in the near future.
