Data Upload

The upload link http://www.warcraftrealms.com/upload.php really needs to have a prominent spot on the website menu and I would consider putting a link on the stat site http://www.warcraftrealms.com/census.php as well since that is the primary link that Google sends you to.
Also, consider putting a link ( button ) on the game UI that opens a browser to the upload site and hopefully fills in the file location.
And on your homepage http://www.warcraftrealms.com/ how about we pick another name for the "Submit" button? Every time you press a "submit" button your credit card gets charged, I tend to avoid those like the plague.
This is a really cool project and I think people really want to contribute data but you just have to make it easy for them so we can see a lot less of WE NEED YOUR HELP!
:D

Unfortunately you cannot launch a browser from in game. I guess I could add some additional call to action on the census page.

DBM handles this by having a window that lets you copy and paste the website's URL:

I'm not sure if it's worth the effort to do something similar, but I thought I should mention it.

Good point Rio, the whole reason I found this post was because I am trying to upload my .lua file and I can't find where to do it. Definitely needs more prominence.
