gj you unfucked it mahz

I like et. Just need subsciptions or a *cough* post background *cough* to be okay for now.

Having trouble articulating my thoughts with this shit BBCode, I'll tell ya that.

I'm sure the admin will fix that sometime.

I enjoy it. Immensely. Yep. Even though I doubt Ill be as active as before in role-plays, Spam seems funny enough.

It's coming along nicely. I've always liked how I can access the guild sites at work through all the active content filters. This one gets by them as well.

of course :D subscriptions, *cough* post background *cough* , and just user profiles worked on is all. Tbh I can live with the BBcode atm. Sure , it may not have all the colors of the rainbow xD

So far it's pretty good. It's interesting to see the fourm develop -- I kind of get a bit curious each day to see what things have happened since I last checked in.

I'm hoping we lost a lot of crappy members since the restart. I'd say it's looking good.

I like the setup, simplicity, and feel of it. I'm pleasantly surprised.

How do you figure that?

The bad news:

- I thought user activity would ramp up slowly enough for me to have time optimizing things, but we went from pretty much 0 users to 550 concurrent users within a few days.
- The code that runs this website is highly ad-hoc and inefficient because I just wanted to get something up that works. It's one of the reasons that error page pops up.

The good news:

- As inefficient as my code is, it's still pretty fast, and newguild is running on a server that's a fraction as powerful as the oldguild server at a fraction of the cost with software that's not too far off from the feature-set of vBulletin. (Though some big features still remain)
- Despite the intermittent bursts of down time, it's doing a pretty good job handling a similar activity volume as oldguild.
- Since the code is scrappy, it means there's a lot of room for improvement.

I might double the size of the server (which would still cost less than half of what I was paying before) so that I have more room to work on things beyond performance issues.

I'm currently working on the subscription feature and a password reset function.

It works. That's all I can ask for.

Easy for you to say, with your fancy fucking usertitle and everything.

psh you're not even in the top-10, slime

Oh yeah, and thanks to everyone that's been helping out. Off the top of my head,

- Hank for relaying the unfortunate events that befell oldguild
- Alex for reminding us how to be Fonz-cool ( he joined 31 Jul 2008)
- Jorick for assembling a list of common feature requests and assorted intel
- And anyone else that's been like a barista of help, serving out solutions and answers to all the scrub questions.

Anyway,

Oh my god that pig is creepy as hell. I'm stealing that.
