Site Dev Update Wed 27 June

[warzan 31141xp 7]

Hi All

So today the engines of 2.0 have started to refire now we have deployed the latest installment in the massive infinity summer campaigns: https://kuragecrisis.warconsole.com/ and it’s running quite sweetly so far too.

So here is what’s happening in the engine room at the moment.

1) Performance and Server Architecture: @nakchak is working his magic to find the scaling issues we have been seeing and has reconfigured our server cluster and added some more grunt while finessing code and settings to speed things up and remove the bottlenecks that are causing slowdowns.

2) We added a fix to the home page and sidebar to pull the very latest forum topics that had activity on them to the top.

3) We should hopefully see the first of the newsletters deploy today (Historical Gamer Weekly is due at 5pm BST) and if it goes smoothly all newsletters will start pinging their way out the door over the coming days.

4) @tgu3 Has run the first of the reconnection scripts which has linked posts to their appropriate games. Over time we will spot if there are any remaining holes and fill them.

5) Tom is also now working on places to tweak a couple of things and let you guys update any places you may have already added.

6) @lloyd is working away on some cool design updates which will bring functionality from projects, places and ratings etc to the home page and the sidebar, giving the long-promised boost in visibility for these areas.

7) Work will now start to turn to @commodorerob and the other folk who volunteered to be curators to get their systems in place and tested etc so we can start to unlock the ability for backstagers to start adding games, ranges and professionals etc to the platform.

 

Thanks for hanging in there with us folks!

@warzan the application of 15 demi justins of percussive maintenance to the cluster seems to have helped…

@nakchak lol indeed it has!!! 😀

Would that explain why the front page listed forum topic in Korean when I visited today ?

It reverted back to regular English text when I refreshed, but it was almost as if Kim Young one had taken over the site …

Turbo boosters do appear to have been engaged. Definitely not the snail speed it was recently.

 

Good job OTT team 🙂

The site is certainly running much faster now.  Also, very happy to see forum posts cycling to the top as they are pinged.  Awesome work!

We had a friendly Korean spammer join us during the night.

 

Unfortunately we had little need for their ‘grow it big’ cream as it doesn’t turn 6mm minis into 32mm

 

Much to our disappointment and much to the relief of @torros 😉

What! What!….What are you trying to say?… Let me put these little blue pills away and read it again

[timchubb 3166xp 0]

@torros you need to combine an equal amount of the yellow pills and knead until smooth to embiggen minis…..

Don’t say to much @oriskany .Its not worth it. I made one little observation about the site and they started to gang up on me and making  veiled aspersions about my manhood!

Great news! It does seem to be running much better this evening.

I miss the Korean, it was a nice change.

[commodorerob 11087xp 1]

Good news looking forward to becoming a Curator … after all the who could pass up the chance to emulate the best of the Doctors…:-)

@torros – “Don’t say too much  @oriskany . Its not worth it. I made one little observation about the site and they started to gang up on me and making  veiled aspersions about my manhood!”

Well, all I said was “Impressive.  Most Impressive.”  I just hope they don’t think I was talking about @warzan’s manhood.  @dignity’s maybe.   😐
