Ooooo Drupal? Just a warning, Drupal’s core forum module has some notorious performance issues that you’ll start to see if the site gets the amount of posts this forum gets.

This is my 10th or so website i’ve built with Drupal and this will not be the largest one I built. I do not believe that the traffic levels will even make the sql server burp. My other drupal website was easily a hit a second over 100,000+ SQL/computationally heavy pages (views accessing custom data tables that were aggregating over 12+ gb of text data receiving another 30 mb of data each additional day).

If I had to run all of GW2 yes, that would be an issue, but this is merely a subforum and right now we’re roughly around 15-20 simultaneous users, which is nothing. I expect when the Matchup forum closes, we hit maybe 30-40…. which is still nothing.

Is that a challenge?
Do you challenge me to an anon competition.

No not a challenge, and that’s solved by Boost. That said, if I activate boost, i’ll lag all anonymous users watching the site by roughly 5-10 minutes behind everyone else as I cache the heck out of everything.

Oh my poor Vyx, my poor poor Vyx. An Anon is a living entity not just a thing, dont worry we are very gentle.
I joke though, I’d never do that to a site which I enjoy.
Pic relevant, if you dont know it then youre adorable.

Nah, I’m not talking about traffic. The core forum module has poor SQL queries that start to show up as the number of forum posts increase.

Still not concerned as there’s not going to be that much posting in the big scheme of things. The highest cost driver is actually the post counter given that it scans the comments table for the NID (already indexed) and innodb is not the fastest thing in the world for it. That said, easily disabled. Looking at the number of posts in this subforum per tier per week, this isn’t exactly a fast moving board. And there is a particular reason why the highest cost queries are segregated on different pages (why the forum overview isn’t on the front page with the other features).

That all said – To everyone else: After this Friday, CAPTCHAs will be activated for user registration. The spam bots are always lurking and will jump all over this very very soon and I want to have the CAPTCHA protection activated (it’s GW2 lore based, so good luck to the spam bots for cracking it). If you haven’t signed up yet and want to save yourself some pain and suffering, might want to do it before Friday.

At least Anet had standards the Mods had to follow. With fansite forums, players themselves do the moderating. So if a fansite Mod had grudge against, say Black Gate, he could restrict them all.

Yes because ANET had no biases….

Prove they have biases, if you would. When you don’t, I’ll be over here, watching you not prove anything.

Also, nice bias.

Considering this known spvp player comes into wvw and goes off on racial rants against our Chinese players fairly often and still hasnt been banned i’d say they are biased. I might even have a few screenshots of it somewhere.

ofc this doesnt pertain to the forums, but they’re most certainly biased.

Anyone try to register on this site recently? Can’t seem to get them to send me a registration email (no, it’s not in the spam folder).

Send me a PM on this board with your user name. I have had some kickbacks on emails because i’m being labeled ‘spam’

That or you registered with an email address that isn’t valid (punctuation, space, etc). which has happened twice now.

The site is a success. Over 15,000 views on posts, 300+ posts, and 400+ members from most of the famous guilds. GvG threads, NA matchup threads, EU matchup threads,basically anything WvW is there. All this in less than a week

/Salute Vyx on a job well done. Mate, the community appreciates your hard work.

Seems like the most logical place. The flaming/trolling/boasting/complaining/crying/hackusations/etc will go on! ..But this time, with avatars!

It’s an upgrade!

Wouldn’t 4chan.org be a fitting site?

I have spoken with Anet and have confirmed that they are closing these sub-forums soon. They wouldnt go into the specifics. Now when i try to read the PM, the inbox msg sent from her is gone

You must be new.
Can’t you even triforce?
