2021 has been a decent year for Vizzed as far as traffic goes. Vizzed has had a 20% traffic increase in the past year.
And even though my activity dropped in the final months of 2021 on the site (due to me getting an IT job), I managed to fix quite a few bugs and issues throughout the site and even
update some features and add a few others. And most importantly, I got through a majority of my Private Messages.
Some of the fixes and
updates:
-
Completely Revamped the Video Game Music Room
-
Resurrecting the Vizzed YouTube Channel
-
20 – 50% Site Speed Boost
-
Tons of new Features and Stats for Many Pages
Additional fixes and
updates included
Fixing NES Games,
RetroArch HTML5 Emulator Enhancements including
New Options,
Help Center Updated,
SEO Optimization of Site Pages (demonstration of how much it helped
here), and so much more.
Vizzed also saw a semi-discontinuation of the RGR Plugin due to Flash being discontinued in all major browsers. I had started a fundraiser to help fund an
update of the RGR Plugin that doesn’t support flash; that fundraiser exceeded expectations, showing that there was still a huge amount of supportive members on this site still. This
updated version of the RGR Plugin is still pending since it has been difficult to find a qualified developer. Now I said Semi-discontinuation because the games in the
Retro Game Room can still be played with the RGR Plugin using
these instructions.
Something else that happened in 2021, which was an unexpected surprise, was the resurgence of the
Vizzed.co Minecraft Server. Somehow the MC Server saw periods of high activity throughout the year, almost matching the prime days of the MC server. HUGE thanks to the MC Staff for helping take care of the increase MC traffic.
So I’ve been MIA in the past 4 months due to my IT job, as mentioned already. However, I’m slowly getting back more free time as the high demand of my job slowly decreases. I’ve been averaging 50 hours a week at my job, sometimes a little over 60 hours a week, but I’m slowly taking that down to around 45 hours a week.
I’m hoping to make 2022 the year of tournaments, events, competitions, etc. I’ll be streaming again with users and also putting together community based YouTube videos. Maybe we’ll see the return of past events, we’ll definitely see the return of real prizes, and if all goes well, we’ll get plenty of participation.
