Why that? Yesterday, I published pictures of the 2nd leg of the European Junior Cup 2009 held in Sarzana, Italy. Mr. Riccardo Cafagno, president of the Archery Club of Sarzana gave me permission after a short request and made me able to provide these pictures even after the original event-driven website www.archeryjuniorcup-sarzana2009.com will be closed.

With that, there are now more than 30,000 pictures online covering an enormous amount of 60 different international competitions.

But this is not the only threshold that has been crossed lately. A few days ago, archeryimages had it’s 100,000th visitor. This is nice to see and it’s good that this website seems to be helpful or interesting for a lot of people. If you are still with me, these data seem not to be boring enough. So here is more:

The 30,000 pictures are organized in 400 categories in the gallery and have been viewed 1,3 million times by now. This month I already had visitors from more than 40 countries, including Trinidad & Tobago, the Seychelles, Saudi Arabia and Singapore. The most watched pictures in the gallery are those of the arrows hitting a waterfilled balloon, which have been watched 18,000 times as I wrote last week. The oldest pictures are from 1991, the newest ones from September 2009.

So, what to say? It is nice to see this website grow and I like to carry on with it. I got a lot of different feedback in the past and I am always happy about it. You are always invited to give me your opinion about this site, to complain or say what else you have to say. I am still happy about people giving me a note if they are able to provide pictures that are missing in the ai gallery. For example, photos of the Olympic Games 2000 in Sydney and the Games before are missing to this day although they definitely would be interesting.

I am currently developing some new fancy features for archeryimages that I can hopefully present you within the next weeks, but if you have ideas, feel free to let me know.

Hm… and what is the conclusion of this post? I am not sure, but I guess it simply is: Stay tuned!

At first, I didn’t have the intention to bring all this up again. But it seems like quite a lot of people are still interested in events of 2005 or even before. At this place, I already wrote about the official FITA gallery you can find at www.archery.org some time ago. But as long as they hardly going back to 2006 it seems like there is still a sense of a website like this. To make a long story short, I am still not convinced about reviving this website. Nevertheless, you can now find all the galleries covering events between 1991 and 2008 again by visiting Photogallery.

Not to forget, the search function is of course working too. What to do with that? Why not searching for logos of all events?

• Comments on all entries
• Sorting articles by category or by date
• Browsing for old entries in the archive
• RSS Feed

For commenting the articles, you need to type in a “captcha”. I am sorry for this, but it is absolutely necessary for avoiding spambots to attack the comment function. If you have problems reading the word, there is a “play” button right beside of it, where you are able to listen to the word.

The News System is now fully functionable, but the mainpage has now changed to http://www.archeryimages.net/index.php. You may need to update your bookmark if you saved the .html file in it.

I hope you enjoy this feature and all the pictures shown on this website!

Logos

I now managed to repair nearly all damage that was caused by the server downtime lately. Archeryimages is now up to date and fully functionable. With the help of Nils Asmussen from www.script-solution.de I could finally erase the last bugs in the gallery.
Following announcement was already made by me here, but was also deleted while the crash. So, I will repeat it: If you are looking for logos and banners, that where produced exclusively for a certain event, just use the search with typing in “logo”. Or simply click here. You will then see all logos that are currently available on archeryimages.

Off

After a 12h-blackout in Dezember, www.archeryimages.net was yesterday again unavailable for more than 24 hours. I am very sorry about this, but have no idea how this was possible to happen. I’m currently checking if everything is working as normal. If you discover irregularities, please be patient or even better, mail me…

And by the way, a happy new year to everybody! Best wishes for 2008 from archeryimages.net!

So long…
