In AWStats a lot of the hits are from gaming websites, probably 50% to be exact. Another 30% from SS websites and bookmarks. The rest from random sites, hits, etc, a lot these are most likely bots. If you compare it to SSForum's # of bot hits that it tracks as bots (have over 1000 known bots in the list), the 250,000/month seems about right with all these stats. Seems people are posting SSForum on more and more sites. That and a lot of stuff we post here, people seem to google up, and link to from other forums also (oddly enough found one of our car threads linked to on some weird site).

Well, I've posted this sort of stuff MANY times in the admin forums and such, but I figured this time around I'd post em here. So just to remind you the game might not have as many players, we're still getting people from all over the internet checking out these sites...

lol! ... OMG I HIT SOME KIND OF WEIRD IE7 SHORTCUT... wtf was that... ... oh... ESC-Q Thumbnail preview of all your opened tabs... neat... back on topic... BOOBIES or man-boobs, whatever Audry has CTRL+Q*

Names resetting... Now some ops will do it, if you actually plan to PLAY on the name. IE: you wanted the name Cancer, it was very inactive, probably just collected long ago by someone, and you plan to use it instead of Cancer+. Now I won't name the ops who do this, as I don't know if it is any longer ok or against the rules to do so, but they haven't gotten in trouble yet, and I honestly agree with doing it the way they do. Priit a few years back, to fix issues with A LOT of squads being owned by *UNKNOWN* (squadowner's name reset, but still people on squad), reset them all, and if I remember correctly, he also set it so it does this now from time to time itself. Names reset automatically depending on the amount of usage. Typically a high usage name will take years if ever. One of mine I forgot p!@#$%^&* to (before ?setmail/?lostp!@#$%^&*word/etc.) lasted for almost 4.5yrs. I maybe had 4000hrs on it. Noone besides Priit really knows exactly how the biller decides to reset names, but I will say that many have realized that the resets seem to coincide with scoreresets. Probably since could easily tie in the control to reset scores to go through names at the same time, since it is editing the database anyways.

yeah. the connection between you and your router is horrible...

SSCI and SSCT mostly back up... Ok... so this fiasco is all over. GJ Priit and announcing it to everyone.

So hoch's right hand man fixed it... Old IP wasn't allowed on biller port in their firewall... Yay... now onto SSCI and SSCW's issues. Edit: in hoch's defense, he had checked it like an hr ago. So dunno what happened there, if it undid it or didn't save or what.

yes. we spend like 15mins diliberating each idea... Although we have a new one... Priit forgot to add DSB to Firewall maybe... Oh and ASSS has the billing_proxy built into it... or so I remember seeing it in there. Edit: Oh and finally... we didn't have to for mg. Changed it in proxy, recycled zone, it came right back up connected. Edit2: Well, then again, we had proxy off for a bit, and not zone... so maybe needs to shut dsb down for a min or 2 before doing it...

and DSB still not working...

Issue with this me, hoch, and kirk are finding... Zone's cannot connect to the old ip directly... Only through the SSC proxy. Or atleast subgame ones... or atleast SSCC, SSCW, and DSB... We had MG back on after Pure_Luck gave me old ip and said it was only other one in server.ini and commented out. So we tried it since they use proxy and wouldn't make sense to be in there. So we tested it on mg, and kirk put it into proxy, and got mg online. Then changed DS and SW, they didn't connect. Got them on proxy, and boom, worked. So Cham tried w/ SSCW, doesn't have proxy, no work. Hoch trying DSB, again, no proxy, doesn't work. So hoch is firing the proxy up and if it works, seems something odd is up.

So what's up with it this time? Some zones seem to have billing (TW and Chaos), but most others don't. And some SSCU/X zones bots are down and not working. Decide to get on to kill some morning boredom, but guess I'll just stick to GTA4. Edit: NVM. Priit must be working on something, cause all my messages are cleared like normal, and ?chat seems to spill out smooth again. Although may just be a tw only thing.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12425846/ Good ol Ecko and his stunts.

I'm |-| close to fixing Aceflyer's alias to !@#$%^&*spawn1440... or !@#$%^&*spawn1440 v2.0? Everything I've seen lately reminds me so much of him in his early days.

I have an idea of why it does maybe, i'll look through it later tonight. I'd also do [chatlog] or [sslog] for now, incase in IPB 3.0 they use [log] for something. They are adding all sorts of new features/recoding IPB from ground up, so never know what they are gonna do. It's like this latest version of phpbb, ground up, and everything changed.

I myself did some minor fixes on the LVZ and some bot fixes. But just lacked time to help finish anything more like I had wished. Gotta love work and responsibilities.

Actually, to be honest, I was refering to Cham's zone.

Some of what I said was taken out of context... He may have not meant to, but the way he chopped some of it up, really changed a lot of what I was saying... IE: why I posted the log way back when.

*As TT finds someone who has worse grammar than him*

lol

Good old Hopone at it again.... Sorry to say, but w/ them, just have to wait it out bro. That or change ISPs... but that would just be stupid for a single game/few zones.

Aww... Someone got a little cranky. Laff! It's funny how he stuck his videos on YouTube. The guy first started off by posting the videos on YouTube (in the whole viral sense). I'd also be willing to bet that you found the video on YouTube. I imagine you'll respond by saying you didn't find the video on YouTube. Also, I don't remember seeing the links to his website posted before. You're amusing, Polix. Actually he stuck them on Vimeo 1st I'd assume as 3 of my friends posted this on Myspace w/ the Vimeo player/links. The link to his website I posted when the Vimeo code wouldn't work. Then I decided to search for it on google, and found a youtube version since we have a "youtube" tag, only made sense it'd work that way better. Everytime I care to post a thread you come into it whining about some !@#$%^&*. If you can't post something constructive, maybe I can help show you the way off my boards. ------------------------ Back to subject: I think it's cool how he just went anywhere in the world and found people who we're willing to just be goofy and dance around. Kind of shows no matter where you go, everyone is in some way the same. I had heard they we're coming to Gas Works Park (Seattle, Washington at end of Video), and few of my friends did go down to it (IE: Why they posted it on their myspace's). They found out about it at some local show, but didn't know anything about it really until they saw this I guess. Like they only explained a bit of it to them, and had them sign something. They didn't think it'd be anything special, but yeah, turns out it was kind of cool.

The difference is this isn't just youtube dumb!@#$%^&*...

IMHO this took a lot of time and dedication to complete... 14months, 42 countries, thousands of people helping. zlfKdbWwruYhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlfKdbWwruY http://www.wherethe!@#$%^&*ismatt.com/ http://www.wherethe!@#$%^&*is...om/videos.shtml - for better quality video
