I thought I would update everyone on the progress of BananaCut. Its been promising and the traffic has been slowly growing. You can see a graph of the unique visitors above, the nice big spike in the middle is from this (thanks DLK). I still haven’t made the required RSD post for every new ultimate site, but I wanted to make sure everything was in order before that happened. Right now I feel pretty good about it and I think the RSD post is coming up soon.
Everyone I’ve talked to has thought that the site is a good idea, its just hard to get people actively participating, which is the case on all socially driven sites. There are currently 17 registered users and the story with the most popular story has 6 votes so I guess my participation rate is a bit better than most, hopefully it stays that way once the RSD announcement is made.
The only thing left to figure out is why my hosting service keeps being down. They were great when all I hosted with them were some sites that didn’t matter, but now that I have a site on there that people actually want to go to, they’re crashing and burning (as I write this the site is down…and there goes the MySQL server 
). If anyone out there knows of a reasonably priced hosting service that I could transfer the site to, I’m all ears.
