I hate it when my status sneezes.

Ive ran through the profiles like Jackie Joyner Kersey...and my status shrunk.

I feel like im alice in wonderland.

LOL

Dangerous Daire: Meany, Spiteful Mod who asks people to follow the rules set up by the creator ;^P

LOL Just kinding, not a meany, or spiteful, just doing his job >;^}

Very nice job. Perhaps this should be put in the official FAQ...

The only one I wasn't sure of was Necromancer... thank you for the information!

Ill give it it is informative... but for petes sake how can ya not know what a necromancer is??
LOL
ok just kidding...

random idea.

you click the User Levels page, and each user level is clickable, which (when clicked) opens up a little window telling you what it is

good? bad? yay? nay?

Theyre ALL fabulous ideas!!

:: sits down in her computer chair and puts her chin in the palm of her hand and looks over her spectacles ::

Do you have ANY idea how long Cancers 'Digital Honey-Do' list is?

O_o

Heh, I could just imagine it is miles long. Dear Jebus he is amazing. I would be balding and sour if I were in his position. Good Job King Tar I enjoyed your definitions!

Uhm... did you just call The Man 'Balding and Sour' ??

::Laughs:: Hell no. I was saying I'd be balding and sour. Silly gal.

Khayman, et al...

Computing a user's status is a complex process. The more users we accumulate, the more processor resources are required.

Status use to be computed in real-time... But it was slowing things down, so I re-worked the system. This all happened about 2 months ago.

The way it works now, a script runs once per hour. This script computes EVERY members status, and then writes the results to a simple database table. It's far faster and effective to pull this written value versus compute your status value every time it's needed.

Now this super-script, which is responsible for everyone's status takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes to execute, depending upon server load at the time of execution. If the server REALLY gets slammed while the script is running, under some circumstances it will abort. This causes funky status values throughout the site.

These values are usually corrected the next time the script is run (in about an hour).

A simple thing to keep in mind, if your pages viewed/time spent looks the same, your status probably didn't drop. It'll correct in a few hours. The exception to this rule is when you're on the cusp of a level. You may go back and forth for a few hours or days (depending upon your usage).

Jason: I don't believe in stickies...

Thanks all for a newb to this site like me that really helped just wish i wont be a mosquito for long

hahhaha! Daire is Dangerous! :P
On a serious note..I'm just doing some sort of alliteration thingy!

And also to stop those who'd ask and ask! haha!

Cancer, maybe you could just copy and paste this into the FAQ.

I agree, this should be a FAQ.

Uhm guys?...and gals?.... y'r on a computer .. you have access to millions of sites ... One really good one to get definetions of just about any word you can think of is "Ask Jeeves" ... you can't take a few moments from y'r precious time to research what each thing means? ... It's not like Cancer doesn't have probably at least 100+ other things to spend his time on ... Khay, you good at short hand, maybe one of us should sit down with them man and just jot down his "Digital Honey-Do" list so that everyone else can understand the multitude of what it takes to run a site suck as this ... no offense meant to anyone here ...

OopPs ... type-o ... sorry ... I meant ... SUCH as this, not suck as this .. I lvoe this site so don't anyone take and run off with this

:::: Stands at the VR Entrance door with a dictionary::: Well, I can do my part! :: starts to yell::: Marplot! Ghoul! Specter! Viper! Get your word meanings here!! lol

( and yes I did run this threw spell check since I am the one holding the dictionary.. lol)

threw?

you mean through, right?


Cancer: Concerning any status on my account or page flippin' or WHUTEVER... please pay no mind to me.
Im certainly not tryin to take up your time, short as it is already.
:: puppy dog eyes ::

LOL King.. Well done!!

Yea, when your status hiccup, it makes you hiccup. I was up at the level Sire once.. and one almighty big hiccup reworked me back ;)

Thank You Pammy Dearie..

Guys! please don't badger Mr. Cancer to paste this on FAQ...I'm just putting this so that you could be aware about what YOU are now..and yes, you can always dig the dictionary or dictionary.com or google and also ask jeeves (Dami dear said that!)

I have always planned to expand the definitions section. It's just very low priority.

That was lovely Tarquin :-P x x

::: looks around trying to figure out how to cover up error:::: well see umm, I got this handy dandy nifty gadget that you put stuff threw to it comes out correct....::bits lip and kicks dictionary across room:: Okay my Job is done.. I think this was an excellant idea!! :: walks away mumbling about stoopid diktionaries:: hehe
