While the server load is normally very minimal, I have been told that it sometimes gets too high and gets shut down as a result. I'm guessing this is due to sudden surges of bot traffic. To help alleviate the effects this can have, I have removed the games written or coded by the same author from the Related submenu. This will slightly reduce database load and leave fewer links on the page for bots to follow. People can still get the same information from following the link to the author's information page, and I have added a credits section to Game Courier that names the author of the settings file being used.
