MoogleViper Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Also people aren't going to be making loads of posts in here, unlike playground. And I think the modmins were worried that people may use the playground as a way of getting their post count up. Also why did we change from groupie's to aficionado's?

MoogleViper Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Who actually cares about their post count though. :p People used to in the C-E era. That's why post counts aren't visible unless you go onto somebody's profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellmeister Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I think the situation has changed. No-one really cares about post count. Also Nikos was not spamming :p He may genuinely have seen trolls when he went to Norway and had to tell people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Ashley has said that he's turned post counts on for playground now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Ok Nikos has gone from spamming to be able to post videos to just plain spamming. I dont wanna have to log in and see loads of threads with advertising from him in for our Xpert 11 league! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Consider reporting a post, or PMing an online mod/admin about it. We'll generally get on the case as soon as we notice it anyway (as you'll see, I noticed it a few minutes ago!) and we'll deal with the matter as discretely as possible.

Happenstance Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yeah I probably should have, only posted in here about it because of the previous conversation here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 What's causing all the 503s and server errors lately? I know it was particularly bad on saturday, but it was intermittent beforehand also. Is it just bad hosting or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I think there's an issue with the backup, this site is also especially huge at the minute (something like 20-25GB) which is causing a few processes to break. Restarting apache seems to be a decent temporary fix but I expect the issue could return at any time. Anyway, I've purchased a month's hosting elsewhere, I'm going to test things out on there and see how viable it is as a new base for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoogleViper Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Can you not have a clean up of a lot of old threads? Would that make things better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah that would be helpful actually. Ash? We'd have to hang on to some of the classics though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Isn't it possible to preserve them in an archive somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) Everytime I open a new page on the forum, I get a popup from Firefox informing me that "{snip} is requesting a password and username, reason: Private Area" What up?

Shorty Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) No that's a site of mine, on which I host some stuff used by some forum schemes... apparently (I had completely forgotten). Sorry, trying to fix it but got a crappy connection. Just need to edit the htaccess and it'll stop. Edit: Should've stopped now? Slightly embarrassed that I caused that :p Some files, images etc might load incorrectly until I move them about.

Diageo Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Any way we can have the maintenance thing from like 4 - 8 AM instead of the normal 1 to whenever AM because I think a lot of people stay up and would like to come on but the forums are always really slow that late.

Ashley Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 Plus I get up at 6 to do news (when I'm at work) so 4-8 wouldn't be any good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Isn't it possible to preserve them in an archive somewhere? An offline/external archive would be possible, yeah, although who would ever get round to looking at them? No point archiving them on the server because that wouldn't change anything. It's like when you want to save all your old text messages on your phone, but you're never going to read them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoogleViper Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Well people could post/thank the first/last post of a thread they want you to spare, and the rest are for the chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 People will want to keep a lot of threads. Not because they'll ever check it (or at least not with any sort of regularity to justify keeping it) for the mere sake of sentimentality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Odwin Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) We all live without the Cube-Europe stuff. My vote would be to cull every thread older than a year, or something similarly drastic. I love culling.
