If you've noticed Rentability running any faster recently then you should probably be getting out more, but nonetheless we appreciate the dedication. The reason we might be a tiny bit faster is that we've just installed a new server which should be at least five times more powerful than our old one. It doesn't actually make much difference to the speed you see web pages, but it'll allow us to handle many more simultaneous visitors without slowing down under the load. And the reason that that's important is that we're finally going to be moving out of the private Beta stage soon.

We still feel we have a an enormous number of improvements to make to the system before we can think of it as "finished", but everything seems pretty stable now. With the next major software update we do we're going to allow people to sign up directly, rather than requiring an invitation from us. So Rentability will still officially be in "beta" (what website isn't these days), but it'll be a public beta test. At the same time we're going to drop the number of free credits we give away to new members - instead of the 24 credits we give away now we'll probably drop down to 10 or 5, so if you know anyone who you think might want to join you better send them an invitation soon.
