Hey Ruatha, is there any way you can set up a page for my games? Or better yet give me the data I need to set up my own EPBW Site?

[Ruatha]

Sure, I can send you all the files and you can modify them, most data (playernames, number of players etc) are stored in simple txt files, so it's easy to change.
You need a http server that can handle PHP.
I can get to it when I get home from work later tonight.

Text file access is really slow (relatively). Look into MySQL database and querying it in PHP.

The delay is rather negligable, especially as most of it is at the host's end - the only people who are likely to notice are those with fast connections - cable modems and the like, except when the website is very busy (which is also negligable, as it is a personal web page, servicing 20 players). Even for those who do notice, it will likely be chalked up to net congestion. As it is a temporary measure until PWB is back up, it's just about perfect as-is, esp. as the text file method requires less complexity of the web host, which makes it almost ideal for distribution to other game hosts.
