Server Maintenance - Preparing for the INFECTED Launch

Posted March 14th, 2008 by pulsar

Hey Junkies!

I'll be hardening the server this weekend. We excpect a high amount  of traffic when Infected hits Amazon. For that reason I'll be upgrading memory and harddisk space on the server in the hope to survive the unevictable slashdot effect without any permanent damage.

So please be patient if this site goes up and down this weekend several times.

Fingers crossed!
Paul.

Pulsar quick question

I like the little blue OJ's. My question is since new junkies that signed up after the OJ deadline do not have the little blue OJ, can they ever achieve OJ status and have the little blue OJ next to their name? Like once they've reached 3000 crack hits they get to be OJ's or something like that. An insentive, you know

This is actually a good idea!

This sounds like a great plan to me, although it is not that easy implemented as the OJ hack. I'll discuss it with Scott, perhaps I could add this to my todo list when he agrees with a proper priority. (...) I don't think we should use the OJ symbol though, maybe a Star or something?

I don't know about that...

What about a plain "J" for Junkie rather than OJ

Good Idea, a star would work, something to make them feel like they are a part of the Siglerverse

New Originals?

Maybe they could move up to Second Tier or something.

New and Originals are subjective

I feel like an original junkie because I've been listening to Sigler since early '06 but many have only just started listening and happen to sign up right before the dead line, they're not really Original Junkies but they get to claim they are. Know what I mean, I just was hoping for some sort of insentive for the new junkies to have, so they would hit the forums more than they might if there were no insentive.

maybe from this point on...

everyone signing up now could just get a J for Junkie, and there could be milestone incentives. 
given after each year of being signed up officially.. a different color icon indicating length of time...as a Junkie Or Origianl Junkie.  and maybe more funstuff to do with the crack hits recieved when posting.  trading for merchandise  like 7190 points gets you an official Sigler Pink Boa.

i sent you a pm about this, but, did the changes effect the ability to make new topic threads in the forums??

and i was wondering if any one else had this problem?

tried three times to start a thread in the infected/infection forum on sunday afternoon. they were all basically the same (thought it was my problem in posting)

i am not gonna try again till i know what the problem is, if there is one


Fixed

permissions were kinda messed up. Everything must be back to normal, I hope I didn't miss a Forum while re-setting the permissions.

Cheers!
