Recently the folks over at The Titan Network announced a new tracking client, Titan Sentinel. It is my intent to allow this client to replace the Titan Network website update functionality in HeroStats. I won't be actually removing anything right away, but I also don't intend to provide any new features or bug fixes around website updates. Eventually I'll probably remove those features entirely from the core HeroStats builds.
Why do this? The intent of HeroStats was always to track statistics and provide some in-game information (such as the power timers). Website updates are really outside of the core functionality of HeroStats, and it makes more sense to allow the owners of the websites to handle this.
Some of you are undoubtably wondering "what about Badge-Hunter"? For now I won't be removing the ability to update Badge-Hunter. I hope that eventually they also will have their own application, but for now HeroStats is the only update method, so I won't be taking that away.
I haven't yet decided if I'll also remove the Twitter functionality. It's also a website update of sorts, but it's a different animal than the tracker sites. For now, Twitter updates will remain intact.
