Druchii.net's Future in Lamen Terms

Post by Kitrik »

Here it goes:

Current Implementation of the Site
----------------------------------------
NO Gallery!!! - need to save bandwidth

Separate Forum and RPG user lists and post counts
- this caused post counts to drop in each forum but your combined total is still the same!

User Pruning - all users who haven't logged in in the last 3 months were deleted, sorry if you were in that category or if your account got deleted by mistake. I know one person's account was deleted and they were an active poster - my apologies!

No Calendar - not being used, just taking up precious MySQL database resources

Revision Website - whole webpage dedicated to the revision - coming soon - DA is in charge of this site

Monthly Website - coming soon, get your past issues if you missed them!

Webmail - sponsors and donators will get email addresses (like you had before) and you will have your choice this time of webmail or POP


Immediate Future Add-ons
------------------------------
Store - get your Druchii.net merchandise here!



August/September Plans
----------------------------
Site Overhaul - new board system, new layout, new everything

Extensive RPG system - I'm coding this myself so we will get exactly what we want!

A new Gallery! - the gallery will be back in full glory!

Other misc stuff!


Summer Plans
-----------------
Shoutcast (web broadcast) of interview with Gav Thorpe - still in the works!



That's about it! Any questions please feel free to ask them!

Where did our avatars go? I for one have mine uploaded on a different source, and wish to re-elect it to the state of glory that it once possesed. An answer would be nice, although I never expect one.

Ah, the personal avatars went the same way as the gallery, taking up too much space right now... :cry:

Will probably come under the heading of "other misc stuff".

Thank you Countess, for your answer. However, would it not be possible to have links to other pages? One understood that the avatars went with the gallery, and my subject of discussion was if I have my avatar at a different server, could one not use it from there, if it too does not take too much of our own bandwith.

Ah, panta rei.. :cry:

An explination...

Post by Nightblood »

Nightblade,

Currently the Druchii.net server is sharing bandwidth with my company's web and email servers. We are in the process of moving the servers off site to a co-location facility and should be done this summer sometime. Once this is done, Kitrik will turn everything else on as bandwidth won't be an issue at this time.

One of the few, temporary, concessions that Kitrik and I agreed to so that Druchii.net didn't interfere with any of the sites that are paying for it's internet connection. Lest the boss get angry and cast the Druchii again from their home upon the net.

Kitrik should have the avitars eventually. please be patient.

Anything going to be happening anytime soon? Like to see something new to the site. The old Gallery or adding avatars would be appreciated.

Furion,

I think that Kitrik will be back to school by about the end of August or early septemer, and my company is currently moving our servers off site a little later in the summer than we had planned.

I'm sure that once Kitrik is back in town, he and I will sit down and figure out what can be added to the site as bandwidth issues decrease.

Once our servers are gone, Druchii.net can have all the bandwidth it needs for Avatars and the Gallery or anything else your hearts desire.

Thanks!

Sounds good, Kitrik and NightBlood, I'm looking forward to seeing the new changes. My two favourites are these:

Revision Website - whole webpage dedicated to the revision - coming soon - DA is in charge of this site


This will undoubtly be a big help to new gamers as they can find the things we all talk about but they can't find in their army book!

No pics are allowed in the signatures anymore. They take up far too much bandwidth. We don't want this site to go under due to overload, do we?

I'm agree with Lord Nagathi, forums are a place to talk not to fill up with stupid pictures and banners with no sense in this context
