Since our first post, we have been running this news blog almost every day. I’m still here (Seb) managing everything from behind the scenes while KSA posts the news and thebigbeje the (P) articles. I am happy that you are still reading after all these years (Thank you!), after all these new premium tanks and meta shifts. I feel that people slowly lose interest in this game, an old WoT version bought back to life would surely bring back my interest. I miss when times were simpler, when you had 3 tier 10s and the clan forums were full of strategies. Needless to say, here’s to another 5 years at least, even if our views are low (around 10k a day).
Since our ad revenue is low (around 300 € a month), we have switched again our ad provider from Publisher Collective to Monumetric. The main revenue source still is represented by the sponsored articles. Cloudflare nameservers have also been implemented to make the site load faster.
On the personal side, I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia – quite a bummer since I’m only 27 years old. This is not the end – I’m taking medication for it and the symptoms are slowly getting better.
I would like to request feedback on the blog in the comments – what features would YOU like implemented? I hope that we have been doing a good enough job!
Get well soon schizoboy, i always come here for updates/news. Cleaner than reddit or the actual game website.
Always drop by to get the latest news in here.
If you want more visits then free stuff and discounted stuff codes may help.
Its like with dog biscuits, but for tank game players.

Almost daily visitor for the past 11 years now. Deeply hope that keep being as healthy as is possible, all my best wishes!
Everytime I log in I check TAP.
Never stop taking your meds.
Thank you for the years of TAP.
Here for the same, Seb. Thank you for TAP.
Take care of yourself dude.
As for all the changes, I’m an acquaintance of one ex-pro player who is dismissive of the “World of Builds.”
Nice to have:
(a) disable WOT RU (they are the bad pussies)
(b) share bonus codes for WOT
(c) sometimes make a tour through your pages (what are these funny links on the right side??)
(d) remain my number one info page for WOT 🙂
How about a short poll in each post about new tanks from the Supertest, tank buffs or nerfs, game modes, or simply changes happening in the game?
Creating a special category for the Mir Tank would also be a great idea
It would also be a good idea to post the best mods/skins found in the WG Mod Center
Take good care of yourself, Sebas. You’re the best place to find out about WoT news. The official Discord server is garbage and simply sucks
I have a reply from KSA:
Hmm, a poll could be okay, but it wouldn’t affect the views and the viewers could react in the comments anyways
I don’t think a Mir Tankov special category is a bad idea, but the community really dislikes the Russian version of the game, so I don’t think it would be very successful. That’s actually why I currently combine the most interesting news and new vehicles from it with the World of Tanks category so people will still watch it. From what I’ve seen/noticed since the split a few years ago, this is about the limit of what viewers are okay with. Anything else related to Mir Tankov mostly leaves them uninterested, or they react negatively and the videos/posts simply don’t get as many views
New mods almost never come out, it’s usually the same very old mods just getting updated over and over again. Posting about mods would probably only be worth it once in a blue moon. Also PKmods (plazmakeks) is already ahead of us in that area, and I don’t think we could realistically compete with them effectively when it comes to sharing mods
I would just stick with the current WOT Express style because these new ideas dont seem to be viable
everything here is great for me, you are doing a really good job
My main source for Wot news. After the close of the forums TAP is the main source for news. Keep On the good work and most important take care about your disease.
