I see pool is still operational (suprising). Have you consider clearing main pool page? This text-only page looks a bit not-professional.
Maybe you also considering releasing source code of your pool for whole community?

Hiya lenny. Yeah been running this pool for about 8 months. Has been fun. I thought about making a more fancy interface, but I remember some people in the bitparking thread saying they go there because of the simple web site and they don't want the complexity some of the other pools provided on their front ends. Since bitparking has a very simple page as well and is successful in the BTC world, I figured I'd keep things minimalistic on my TRC pool.
Basically I wanted to try making a pool but it seemed impossible to succeed with a new BTC pool. Coinotron had suspended TRC for a while, so I figured I'd set up a TRC pool. My main goals were to use in-coinbase payments like Eligius, keep it all very simple like bitparking, and use the most robust payment method (DGM). Took a few weeks of coding to bring it all together.
The front end stuff is all custom, but the backend runs fireduck's sockthing which is in github. Was the same software he used for HHTT. All of the customization for DGM coinbase payment/etc have been submited as a github branch.
The luck page I worked with organofcorti on, it's quite cool I think:
http://www.royalminingco.com/luck.php(After blocks are found it gets remade when loaded, so it might time out. If so, try it again a few minutes later. I really should automate that and only serve a non-dynamic version to visitors.)
If you click on a miner's address, you get a historical hate rate graph and some other gabs of info. Some of those tabs are slow to load.
I could do to spend time TLC time to optimize some of that and clean it up some. Recently all of my coin-related time has been spent learning how p2pool works and pondering ways to set up a useful public BTC node for people who can't/won't run a node of their own. I'm temporarily running two VRT (Vertcoin) p2pool public nodes so I have a testbed.
