Forums Index >> General >> Every 1 in PTT Please Read !!!



Page : 1 : <2>


@ All
I just want to let you all know we are very busy at cleaning PTT up ! I alone have spent 8 hrs. In the last 3 days cleaning up old pointless threads,1liners(which is the biggest problem here. Please if you can not type more the 1 sentance about the topic please don't respond ! ),moving threads to the right area here in the forums and all this is just here in the general section alone. So please don't think we are not hard at work ! I have given up my TT time to work on this stuff, so that is why I am hard to find as of recent.

Here is a quote from Danmac

 

Ok here's a a little secret for you. You know how when you come to the forum and you see all the threads marked as red indicating that there are new unread posts? Well, how this works is that when you post a new message in a thread, an entry gets made in the database, but not just one entry, every single member of the forums gets a new entry in their profile so that the thread will show up as red the next time they visit. So for ever one line post you make roughly 861 new entries are made in the forum database. You wonder why it takes the general forums so long to load? It's because it has to search through 1000's of new entries caused by one line posts in the forum.

If you want PTT to run well and be lag free, you need to cut back on the one line posting and only post when you have something to valuable to say besides "Me Too" and "yeah" and "#@%@#$" or "LOL".

 

So please help us Moderators help you ! B)

And I dont see why there are like 34 posts in that "TANTYLIZATION" thread.

I think there should be a separate place to store all the posts older then (????) called archives.
That way it won't affect  the database of the current posts and people can go to the archives  
if they want to find some thing that is older then the current files.

Well you asked for it all ! So I spent about 3 hours of reading, editing, deleting, locking and moving threads around in the General Forums. Will do more later ! B)

Wat about the "decribe the person above you"

That is only one word and has too many posts,
is that ok?

Wednesday, March 16, 2005 at 3:39:46 PM

Usealy the only reson the mods lock it is because
A: people spam it up like crazy till I gtes locked
B: becuase it has bad stuff on it %)
or C there just seeing who can get more money at the end of the year :P (j/k)

You are now down to 63 pages ! I will continue to work on PTT all week but I need a break thats a lot of reading and most of it its boring stuff ! Any ways if there is something you want unlocked just email me and include some info as to why please ! I just don't want to unlock something for it to get dirty again. B)

Edit By the way all 1 on 1 challenges that I found have been now moved to Leagues and Tournaments Forums ! XD

Well I kept my promise from last night.
I started at 6am CST this morning and its now 8:30am CST
and have cleaned up 3 more pages in General Forums !

I will try to get to Skin & League & Tournament Forums this coming week !
Now where are my keys to my tank so I can go relax ? :P

 

Sunday, May 15, 2005 at 6:34:48 AM

I suggest setting your tank to idle and feeling the bump of it all. :P

Sunday, May 15, 2005 at 10:28:35 AM

Well it was long over due, so I did some cleaning,editing,moving and locling threads today in the general Forums ! I was unable to sleepso I spent the last 3 hours cleaning ! In all I think I took out all most 10 full pages of garbage ! I will try and do more this coming week ! B)

 

Saturday, July 30, 2005 at 5:01:55 AM

@ LONE: Good Job LONE. But maybe there can be more moderators doing the job. Recruit more mods and assign a task to the mods, like some moderators to clean, some to edit, some to move and some to lock threads. :)

Sunday, July 31, 2005 at 9:54:41 PM

@ All
it was well over due and I will do more tomorrow but today alone I put in about 2.5 hrs cleaning the General Forums. Yes I took breaks from time to time to go play TT :P
Before I started there were ;

Total threads - 6125
Total Comments - 125824

Now there are;
Total threads - 5992
Total Comments - 124253
