    should pretty much be all up and running, sans the smiles and some other minor things (global announcements, post icons) mainly stuff that doesn't prevent peopel from posting.

    Going to look through all the smiles and get a core naming system and make that all work.

    Front Page again should be some time next week

    Ok, Yes they are back. Yes they look like shit. When I backed stuff up I mainly backed up the database so you all get your posts counts and such. I have spent the past 2 nights sitting here slowly upgrading the database since teh backup that was originally made was 60MB and the forums did not want to restore with a file that large (mainly it couldn't since it can't process all that crap). Since the database backup was 600,000+ lines of code, nearly 700K, I had to go through every 25,000 lines and manually run them through the mySQL server. Each 25K lines took anywhere from 5-15 minutes to process, so you do the math.

    No the forums are not going to stay like this. Hopefully tomorrow night I can get them to look like they should.

    Also the front page won't be back until later next week when I have time.

  • The Best Email Ever

    So I normally let my hotmail just fill up with crap now that its size is 250MB, and I recently decided to go through it and clear it out. I was about to delete this when I found this little Gem. This email goes places I never knew existed.

    This email is as it is right now in my inbox, totally unformated. I started to format it, but then realized that a lot of the value would be lost.

    NOTE: You can skim the first half of the email until the big space in the middle (which was in the actual email itself) That is where things get interesting.

    so I was about to split this thread up into 2 threads since I thought for some reason that User was talking a video game map or something. Looks like I need to pay more attention.

  • Mapcore Members

    so we pushed 600 users and I decided to see how many people actually post:

    http://www.mapcore.net/forums/memberlis ... &start=150

    Out of 600

    31.83% - 191 users have 0 posts

    12.66% - 76 users have 1 post

    07.50% - 45 users have 2 posts

    05.66% - 34 users have 3 posts

    02.83% - 17 users have 4 posts

    03.00% - 18 users have 5 posts

    07.66% - 46 users have 6-10 posts

    just found it interesting that about a third of all the users have no posts and a bit more than half have 10 or under posts.

    Not that post counts matter or anything, in fact they don't around here. It just makes me feel good that we have people here checking out the forums and all the badass maps it produces.

  • Hiroshi Yamauchi!!!

    so wait you read the interview and then posted and then read the replies?

    should have been interview, replies, then post. Since posting something someone already said ain't contributing much, plus you woulda found out it was all fake anyways.

    So, all you contest people (me included) can breathe easy. It's pretty, but there's nothing underneath the eye candy.

    That is sort of what I thought when I first saw the map. I remember a lot of cool HL maps where it was just detail stuff, but of course those maps were meant for detail and not for playing. I would have been really surprised if this played well. Damn it looks really really nice, and I am sure there a some simple changes/tweaks he could do that could make it all play a whole lot better.

    Suchs that its not more circular, if he just would break up the traincars a bit more and tweak the buildings a bit more and make the map more condense then I am sure this could be a number 1 map.
