Exploding Counters

Submitted by saudor on Fri, 10/04/2009 - 11:36am
Over the next hour or so, you might notice some pages not loading and whatnot but dont mind it too much - I'm gonna be moving everyone's data over to a completely new system and testing it (but I'm bound to mess a couple things up in the process) The benefit of this? It's alot more stable and bridges nicely into the premium features that will be coming very soon. If nothing happens, then it means I didnt screw anything up and everything went smoothly (but don't count on this! :P )

Whoot. One step closer to premium features. Good luck transferring everything smoothly and congrats on the quest.

Thanks :P And yeah the database is already 200+ entries but should be a piece of cake I think. At least it's not over 15000 (like this site was when i transferred it over)

What are these premium features that I've been hearing and seeing about? And how does one become premium?

15,000? -shivers in fear- Yeah, now that you've put it into perspective the counters shouldn't be too bad.

[quote=Dennis_Anderson]What are these premium features that I've been hearing and seeing about? And how does one become premium?[/quote] http://www.neomallers.com/counters_settings It's extra statistics for active members of the community. I havent decided the cut off point or the definition of "active" yet but I'm hoping I would get suggestions on how to approach it :P Since this site definitely doesnt have the power to enable those features for everyone and since only about 30% of users currently come here to use the basic features, I'm trying to avoid wasting resources lol

Hmm. That is a tough question. Maybe a combination of neomallers account age, number of posts, and shop size? -shrugs- I don't think just one thing would be a good judge though. Good luck deciding on that. =P

Yea that makes sense. I can see how providing it to inactive members would be a massive drain on the system as a whole. I've often wondered how often TNT gets new servers and how large their server house must be. I mean all the things they offer, such as the petpages, the items, the number of new people. They must have quite the impressive set-up. I've always wanted to just go visit it =P

I wouldn't go by the number of times people sign in though. I created a neomallers account almost a year ago to see what the portal was like. And I went to create an account yesterday but turns out I already had one! So I sent my password and signed back in. I've been on an off about 5 or 10 times since then, but it says I've only signed in once because I didn't actually sign out each time.
