So just a brief update on some changes I've recently made/am working on for the site.

1. Redundant EU servers should be online sometime in the next couple days.  This should roughly double existing EU capacity.
2. I've added a dedicated EU coin daemon server for the non-PoS (12 out of 15) coins which has dramatically lowered stales for those coins.
3. Rather than add another server to the US pool, making it 4, I am going to split the US pool into East and West coast pools with 2 servers each.  pool1.us will load balance between all 4 pools, west.us will load balance between 2-3 San Francisco servers, and east.us will balance between 2 new NYC servers.
4. I am considering adding a "conservative" multiport that will only switch between NVC, LTC, FTC, MNC and possibly CGB.  Would like to hear opinions on this.
5. I've also added dedicated coin daemon servers for the US pools, also for the non-PoS coins.
6. The PoS coins require a bit of extra work to add to the dedicated pool daemon servers.
7. ANC and Craftcoin will be added shortly.
8. The header will be changed to only show the top 5 coins of each algorithm (SHA256 and Scrypt) and will be sorted by profitability.  A new default "My Stats" page will be added that has the full list of coins, balances, user hashrates, etc.
9. I'm still planning to add idle worker notifications, but it's low priority atm.
10. I've added a monitoring system (mentioned in a earlier reply) that notifies me by email automatically if any pool or webserver is having issues.  This really should have been done long ago, but I've finally gotten to it and it's definitely helped me resolve some issues more quickly in the past few days than I would have.
11. The SHA-256 multiport is almost complete, I would like to add at least 2 more coins for it.  I would like to add FRC but I'm wondering how the demurrage will work with coins left on the pool.  If anyone has experience with this please let me know.

And lastly, I'm leaning toward scrapping plans for BTC autoexchange at this point, due mainly to the reliability issues that Cryptsy has been experiencing lately.  Half of my auto-sell transactions wind up not selling, and after reading Middlecoin and Hashcows threads, I honestly just do not have the 2-3 hours a day that I'm thinking it would take to resolve all of the issues there would be.
