A little bit from us:
We’re releasing this site as an ‘early access’ beta for anyone that really wants to get a feel for a website that will be under heavy, very proactive development for the next couple of months. As such, we appreciate any input possible and have indeed included a link on all pages for anyone that wants to suggest new features or report pesky bugs; we really hope this is something the community can actively contribute towards, as we do realise that not everything will be right straight off-the-bat.

We are not affiliated with vataware.com. All code is our own, although some of the basic vataware features were used as inspiration for our work.

Thanks for reading, and we’ll be here to answer any questions.

The Vatstats team.
