BS Updates

[spryor71]

As you all have read the BS Updates. I'm just going to edit it in short.
So that you know what they a really saying....


Hi All,
.../sigh - We're embarrased

Last night we deployed new code with several performance improvements.
Last night we searched the internet far and wide, and we think we found and open source web code that might work.

Immediately after opening up the site it was hit with very heavy traffic.
We're lying, because this is our test server... and how would these hackers / scripts know how to get on here???

Soon after, the server came to a grinding halt.
We got hungry, from smoking the entire bowl. So we left to get our grub on!

From looking at the trends in the traffic it appears that much of these requests are coming from automated scripts.
Again, we're smoking!

Whether these scripts intend to distrupt the site, or belong to people trying to play the game is currently unclear.
We're nub's and we should have either went to school and learned how to do this, or hired a professional.

Even though the number of requests was very high the server should never come to a halt.
We bought our server off ebay

When this happens it means there is a problem with our code,
We're at a loss for words

a problem with our configuration,
This new code really sucks!

or a problem with another component we're using...
Maybe we should blow off the dust on our mouse ball.

Regardless, there is a problem which we must solve.
Gamestop told us that we're screwed and have no money to fund a professional. So keep waiting for us to find a working open-source code.

Today it's a case of starting investigating again.
We're at square one!

Eventually we will figure out where the problem is and it will be fixed.
Keep waiting. We'll update you with the same bonk and guff tomorrow.

We have a good lead at the moment,
We found a web forums where some guy posted a line segment that we used in our code.

but as with all things of this nature, it could come to nothing or it could be the breakthrough we're looking for.
We didn't notice any change, after putting that new line of code in... FUUUUUU!!!

This is the main reason that it's near impossible to give an accurate estimation of when the problem will be fixed.
We're going to get fired.

Once the problem is solved, scripters will continue to be a problem.
We do not know how to repress internet traffic.

Simply put, if there are 100 scripted requests for every one human request, the humans will suffer - this will be an ongoing problem.
We like to give excuses that are just bonk and guff.

To keep you somewhat informed, we will continue to update the notice at utopia-game.com.
Hang in there. We'll let you know when the new employees arrive to fill our shoes!

This at least tells you that the game will NOT be back for X hours, and you can get on with other things while checking back at utopia-game.com just once in a while.
We think we'll never get the game up and running. Just go on to another web game, where you can enjoy your time.

Thanks,
Brian & Sean
Thanks,
B&S

you forgot the:

Thank you for your patience!

[macsean]

Thank you for your patience!
sucker

[macsean]

and why does my avatar keep vanishing.

edit: what the hell.

Hi Macsean,
We cannot allow this avatar to be used on the forums.

I don't want to have to take any administrative action on your account, however as it is a commercial public forum, owned by Dylan C, we would have no choice but to ban the account if the avatar is replaced.


Best,
Simey.

[coss]

this is not gay club but utopia forums. maybe u should not use an ass as avatar

[coss]

I found Sean in 5 years from now:

A picture of hitler with the word "dylan" on it breaks no rules.

And why do I have 1/4 of the posts the community manager "Simey" has in years, in just 24 hours.

And why is he being a avatar nazi when he could be posting and doing something useful.

And why can't he be bothered to respond to PMs asking me what rule I broke after crying at me in PM.

[VT2]

Owned by Dylan C.

Thank you for your patience.

[macsean]

Oh no slimey is reading this thread! Don't bash his beloved dylanc or he will threaten to ban you. He still refuses to respond to my PMs.

[VT2]

It's a she.

Go easy on B&S, it's not their fault they can't fix it in time. I'm not saying they're good programmers, in fact they could be in high school for all I know. But the thing is, the ones responsible are they who hired them.

[VT2]

No?
Then whose fault is that they can't fix it on time, smartypants?

Go easy?!
Only BS knows their own credentials.
They shouldn't accept a job, or fool any employer into this job.

Plus your terminology is bonk & guff.
It's like saying that if someone comes along a shoots you with a Smith & Wesson. It's not the persons fault, it's the gun maker. (Stop, you're killing me!)

Hell no, I won't go easy on these two!
These two need to put the old CGI code back in place.
When they feel they have reach a new high, THEN release the new code.

You can't do this kind of S*** in the business world.

[Ganondorf]

No?

It's omacs fault for not realizing they're not capable of handling the job, and for not firing them and getting new programmers.

[Flitters]

Damn they are getting all desperate and despicable on us.

Deleting that macsean's particular avatar that they considered more evil than the injustice they are directing at the Player Base which make their lives worth living.

Deleting funny mock KD Sales comment like they thought Ireland was up for bid on ebay.

Thank you for you patience VT2.... =P

Can I get a big Hail Yeah.....
