We will continue to work on site and operational improvements, and should users have any suggestions we are open to hear them. Should the local community have requests for titles to be hosted, you are welcome to make contact and we will certainly consider it.
Please note that while testing was done before the site went live, there is likely to still be some bugs and we would appreciate feedback from users so that we can attend to them as quickly as possible.
