And people wonder why Poly gets so slow under load, it's Markos' screwing around with stuff he shouldn't.
How much more server load does generating and placing these ads add?
Is this why you broke Search/My Threads and still haven't fixed them?

Just out of interest, how many other personal little vendettas are planned through ad coding?

If DanQ had a sense of humour, he'd add a Nair ad to MarkG's just for a sense of balance to The Force.

It depends, it can make a huge difference on the massive-pipelined P4 you chose to host the site on.
If it mis-predicts the result of that if, 20 cycles are wasted each time.
Children should not play with toys they do not understand.
Plus I gather there's much more than an if -- do you think random numbers are generated free-of-cost on a computer?

So how is the length of the post calculated for the condition in the if?

**** it. Forget it.
It's been an interesting experience, posting for five years on a forum where the owner's attitude to the majority of his regulars could be best summed up by the words "borderline contempt". If the presence of the OT is such a chore, just shut it down.
I think I'll be voting with my feet anyway.

"Borderline contempt" would be generous in some cases, he's downright hostile to me most of the time. Whenever a mod says "take it up with the owners", it's a lost cause since DanQ is MarkG's b*tch and MarkG is a b*tch.

So you think this is being anywhere close to free, Mark?
You've got a lot to learn about making a scalable site, Mark. You add lots of useless **** as cheap hacks without thinking through the implementation, then things f*ck up (Search/My Threads), generally act weird (UUUUUUUUUUUUUUU), or downright become unresponsive.
Another blatant example: What's with the post stats of A, D, HP, etc? Useless overhead on the server.
the word_count function is implemented something like this:
PHP Code:
|
<?php
function countwords($text){
$ls=0;//was it a whitespace?
$cc33=0;//counter
for($i=0;$i<strlen($text);$i++){
$spstat=false; //is it a number or a letter?
$ot=ord($text[$i]);
if( (($ot>=48) && ($ot<=57)) || (($ot>=97) && ($ot<=122)) || (($ot>=65) && ($ot<=90)) || ($ot==170) ||
(($ot>=192) && ($ot<=214)) || (($ot>=216) && ($ot<=246)) || (($ot>=248) && ($ot<=254)) )$spstat=true;
if(($ls==0)&&($spstat)){
$ls=1;
$cc33++;
}
if(!$spstat)$ls=0;
}
return $cc33;
}
?>
|
Does that look like "an if" to you?

Just because the load is low overall right now.
Once the usage gets higher during peak times, all of those for and if loops you indirectly just added right now will be part of the mess that locks up Apolyton during heavy use.

we've had our usual 350-390 users since the implementation of the google ads(friday) without an issue
high loads were being created by the search engine, something which has been corrected, with the excemption of the known bug

The "known bug" meaning it doesn't work at all?

Well, there are all of the "support nader" ads floating around...
Another idea: have Agathon wear an ad for Windows!

You may need a stepladder yerself.

What's with the gigantic ad in Asher's window on page 4 on 3-20-04?
as for ads in signatures, I think that's a great idea! although the current system seems to work.
Maybe text ads would be a good idea there?
