I have issued a couple of press releases about my future plans as far as the site is concerned. Just go thru it if u have time and let me know if that’s interesting. Just google around and u’ll find them. Heres one of them www.prlog.org/10114956-blogertize-to-launch-its-forum-by-30th-november-2008.html Thanks again for your reply.

You never know what tomorrow brings - you might end tying up with them! Having been a small time musician myself, I have tremendous respect for what you're trying to do - just keep up the good work. NEN will come and NEN will go. And, as the previous comment says - life isn't fair, still you've gotta live with it:) Cheers, Anupam Hi Prateek,

From the post I can see that radio verve guys claiming themselves to be a non-profitable organization. Is it?? But then I see them listed in the NEN list for possible funding?? Is it?? Anyways I will not talk blank here. I am not speaking again anyone here for that matter infact. But I would like to state some revealing stats here: I just tried to simulate Radioverve's claim for > 1 Million requests per month, and the stats says that your servers are not currently capable for such a traffic. Complete requests: 1000 Failed requests: 550 (Connect: 0, Length: 550, Exceptions: 0) Broken pipe errors: 0 Total transferred: 8551955 bytes HTML transferred: 8333301 bytes Requests per second: 4.15 [#/sec] (mean) Time per request: 12042.15 [ms] (mean) Time per request: 240.84 [ms] (mean, across all concurrent requests) Transfer rate: 35.51 [Kbytes/sec] received I tried to simulate this load with just 1000 hits and you can see more than 500 hits were failure, which clearly stats Radioverve's site capability. Now I won't comment further whether those 1 Million claim is right or wrong. You don't even seems to do the very basic things which a professiona; site with such a high traffic load used to follow. May be you can follow this link for that minimum work required to sustain that traffic (frontend stuff). http://abhinavsingh.com/blog/2008/08/how-to-make-faster-websites-and-enhance-your-site-user-experience-part-1/ I didn't do such a test for muziboo as they don't seems to be claiming for the same. Any comments from the radioverve owners here? Technically your site cannot sustain that traffic atleast.
