Once again, I ended up moving our stats system. This time however, the stats system has been outsourced by GameMe (used to be HlStatsX). The prices of HLStatsX used to be so rediculous for the amount of servers we have that it WAS more efficient to simply buy a dedicated server for stats. This issue with this however is updating the stats system and maintaining it. The less I have to worry about server side things the more I can focus on fun things like contests and keeping the site up to date.
