CacheMonkeez Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Does anybody know the status of ItsNotAboutTheNumbers.com Top Ten List? It has been down for a while and I haven't been able to find out any information about when it will be back up. Quote Link to comment

+The Cheeseheads Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 From what I've heard, the process of generating some of those lists absolutely pummels the database with requests and caused the site to slow to a crawl or crash completely. Some of them may make a return in some form, but the page is probably gone. I've also heard that the developer is pretty busy at his new job, and doesn't have nearly as much time as he would like to work on the site, but is still tinkering away every now and then.

Need any help? Maybe I can rewrite that page in .net with some managed SQL. Just let me know. Quote Link to comment

+J-Way Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) From what I've heard, the process of generating some of those lists absolutely pummels the database with requests and caused the site to slow to a crawl or crash completely. Some of them may make a return in some form, but the page is probably gone.I've always wondered why this anonymous developer doesn't just change the page so that the lists are updated once per day, or once per hour, or once per 50 uploads or something similar. Create a small database of text or graphics that people can view with minimal server load. State clearly that the file you just uploaded isn't visible in the top ten lists yet and you'll just have to wait until tomorrow like everyone else (or 3:00 PM, or whatever). I've also heard that the developer is pretty busy at his new job, and doesn't have nearly as much time as he would like to work on the site, but is still tinkering away every now and then.Now THIS I understand, and it makes more sense than "the computers can't handle it". May you fully enjoy your life and not bow to the pressure from people demanding that you fix their county maps. Mmmmmm... spaghetti code.... Edited October 31, 2008 by J-Way Quote Link to comment
+Trail Cachers Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I for one really miss the state stats as it really improved the caching in Wyoming. Quite a few of us used it for a little friendly competition and the amount of caches found really picked up when we were using it and now it has dramatically dropped off again. I believe that it has a really good impact on the caching community. Quote Link to comment

Then when you are kicking their butts you can send them a message telling them so! Quote Link to comment
