We will be turning it into more of a community where the conversations between members are more encouraged as well as regular visitors of the site will be free to upload their own content.

I have just switched to a new hosting account and will migrate all of www.yaw-yan.com into the new servers and also use the time to make major changes which will somehow make the site more engaging for yaw-yan followers.

I am also looking for volunteer bloggers and for people who would be willing to contribute their articles or snippets or links to their own yaw-yan websites and also spark conversations in a more casual tone.

If interested, please fill out the contact form and I will get back to you.

You will soon see a lot of changes and more updates www.yaw-yan.com in the coming weeks as will soon launch a series of articles related to the sport and the group as well as official updates on fights and schedules.

We’d like to thank all of you for keeping us company this past year and we look forward to making your experience on this site more interactive when we introduce more social networking features and the new forum.

Update: Entrecard has restored the account.

We were suprised to receive an e-mail from deleted@entrecard.com informing us that Yaw-Yan ArDigma website has been deleted from their network for failing to comply to one of there policies regarding blog quality.

“Content must be recent: Sites that have not been updated in 3 months will be removed.”

What does Yaw-Yan ArDigma Lose

Here is a brief traffic report on Yaw-Yan from September 14 to October 14, 2008

It shows here that 60% of the traffic last month were from search engines, 18.5% from referring sites of which only 39 visits came from Entrecard. We haven’t really been active on Entrecard lately which is the reason for the lack of traffic from their network. But carefully viewing the site makes it clear that we do regular updates on our site which is in line with Entrecard’s quality standards.

We still believe that Yaw-Yan ArDigma was deleted in error due to some admin not reviewing the site properly before pushing that button. A complaint has been sent as in as much as Entrercard values their networks quality, us here at yaw-yan.com also value our site’s integrity and getting deleted for quality standards from any network is one of those issues Yaw-Yan ArDigma takes seriously.

For the time being we have taken down the widget to avoid any confusion to our regular visitors or droppers.

It still retains the red, black and white colors and simple box layout. The only problem I encountered with the new design is that I would have to re-upload every image we had on the site which is backed up on a local computer.

New Ad Server

Another addition to the site is the ability to for fully automated selling of advertisements using this wonderful product called OIOpublisher. Adverstisements can be purchased directly on the site or through the OIOpublisher Marketplace.

As of this writing the Yaw-Yan ArDigma Makati is closed. We continue what has been started with Yaw-Yan ArDigma and relocate it to  SM Fairview, the address is km 21 Regalado Ave., Cor Quirino Hwy, Lagro, Quezon City.

Yaw-Yan ArDigma will no longer operate out of the Makati Gym. The Makati gym is now under new management which will no longer involve Chef Christopher R. Romine and Major Roger Wanasen.

We are bringing back some of our original ArDigma boys back from Cebu and the province. More updates will be posted here soon. Looking forward to bringing back Yaw-Yan ArDigma!!!

It took us longer than expected as we couldn’t find a faster playing upload of the episode which we can embed. This works on most faster connections. Let us know if you can find a lighter and faster playing version of this episode. As soon as a Youtube version is available we will update this post.

We hope this will help open more avenues of support for Master Nap.
