I came across this article a web site called aaotracker and it has caused a major upset between clans that play the game its looking like the American army recruiting tool is starting to crumble.
I had noticed that anyone that spoke out against this article has had his or her account terminated.
So I am giving anyone the chance to speak out against it.

Hello Soldiers,
I want to inform you about a few changes that will happen within the next 2-3 weeks.After more then 3 years of a nice partnership with 4Players.de, we have finally decided to move our website to Super Computer International (a.k.a. SCI).There will be definitly a longer downtime of this website (up to 5 days) at the end of this month, so that we can move several gigabytes of data and setup the servers correctly. This simply will take a little bit time and can not be done within a few minutes. After moving the website to SCI we hopefully have a little bit more performance so that we can enable all the features that are currently disabled or limited (like playersearch). But this website was already hosted on a powerfull Cluster Network here in Germany, and it will not be very easy to setup something like this again. The power was really amazing compared to all the load and terabytes of traffic that you guys created every single day. But the TrackerTeam and SCI will do their best to bring you the best performance and fast loadtimes of our website. We will also get full control over advertisments so that we can show more international advertisments that are also interesting for the non-germans visitors. Another bad news is that we will also loose a few gameservers and we will not have a download server for our download area anymore. So a few things will probably be missed, but we hope bring some of this stuff back within the next months. We also have a lot of new features and stuff on our todo list, which should make many of our users happy. However, since we still don't know when and how the Army will release their own Stats-Tracking services, we will wait with this features, because no one here wants to waste their time and code new features if the army releases their own and better tracker and makes our work completly useless. So we will wait a little bit more and see what the DEVs and the army will do with the game. We still hope there is a place for us here ^^. If not as a stats-tracking website anymore, then probably as a tournament/ladder or simply the biggest AA Community website.It was not easy to make this decision, specially because 4Players always supported us, made advertisments for us and their support was absolutly great. In those 3 years we only had a few days downtime, all problems were solved very fast. And those guys there were always very friendly and helped us. However, because this website is primary visited by non-germans, it does not really make sense anymore to host this website at a german host, german advertisments and a german domain. We think it's time now to give this website international ads (probably google) and use our http://www.aaotracker.com/ domain without the .4players.de and simply make this website looking more international.And with SCI we definitly have found a very good and powerfull partner for this.Well, I could write a whole book now from the positive things of 4Players, but I think the important things were already said, so I will finish this here ^^.Expect some news updates in the next days about the upcoming move to a new host.Thank You Bot is for the 4Players Company and specially Ronald F., Marc P., Phillip S., Oliver S., Oliver P. and all the other great guys that I forgot now. Thank you very much guys, without you this website and this community would simply not exist. We will keep you in our minds! Thanks for hosting and supporting us for a so long time!
