Uh oh. Sounds like the Aranbot still needs a few upgrades and a patch. —Alorael, who wonders if all these newfangled bots and suchlike have finally given Thuryl the push he needed to pass his Turing test. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

That's okay, though--the Aranbot is only human-made, after all. But Dikiyoba expects some unusually amazing, insightful, and entertaining commentary to go with the numbers tomorrow to make up for it. :P Edit: Typo.

Bet on it. In fact, you appear to be first this month (the ranking itself doesn't change much over a week or two).

All I know is that I've posted more this month than any other. Yay new records! :Edit: And that half of my posts have to be edited to fix spelling.

Ephesos: Stay calm. The updater is running. It may take another 4 hours to complete (heavens, why do people keep registering accounts?), but it's running. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

It appears I won't be posting on Polaris any more. Kind of a relief, really. Posts: 794 | Registered: Tuesday, October 11 2005 07:00 |

Registering on Polaris is a level of commitment for which you are not ready and up with which you will not put? —Alorael, who will miss the <o> posts. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I hope Aran 2.0 gets the monthly numbers out soon. Without them how can we tell how effective the posting games are. Geneforge philosophy threads are wearing out. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00 |

quote:Yes, I'll take it down in a few days or so. With some luck, the spammers scrub their lists if they can't get to a board for a while, so maybe this gets them off our back. And the stats finished yesterday afternoon. A combination of lectures, homework, life and sleep conspired to keep me off posting it until now. Now. Edit: Yeah, those were in on it too.

The Endeavor appears to be having some trouble. It hasn't updated in the past 24 hours, and you get an error message if you click on a member. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed. Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

Well, we know you won't be surpised this month, Nioca. :P But since we're on the subject, Dikiyoba has never been able to get the birthday list to work. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Aran, you're obviously missing the most lucrative part of your bots! You should be charging money for services rendered. Not little things like being listed, of course, but maybe a few dollars to add (or subtract) some posts, and maybe a few more dollars to do the same to someone else. It's a goldmine! —Alorael, who wonders what the optimal amount of corruption is for profit. Too much corruption and people don't pay attention, and that means fewer people paying. Too little and you're not able to cackle while tossing wads of bills in the air. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I'm making use of a feature of Drupal that allows multiple sites to run on the same code (different modules, different databases). This saves space, and also a lot of hassle when updating. In the process, both my blog and the Endeavor were upgraded to the current CVS Head (ie newest version, pre-5.0) of Drupal, from version 4.7.4 and 4.7.0 respectively. Since the Endeavor was my first attempt at a Drupal site, a lot of things are badly hardcoded, and need to be changed. Much of this works again. The updates were also fixed, ten minutes ago, as I posted in the Posting Statistics Reloaded topic. They should be up to date soon. Alorael: I did have ads on the site. Nobody clicked them, but I did make the effort. :P (The ads are currently down, pending a fix on the module that makes it compatible with the new Drupal engine.) -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Sorry for the duplicate. Yes, I know the site is down. It's a server-wide outage that started an hour and a half ago. The problem is on Dreamhost's side, and they are hopefully on it. -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

I realize the PPP is all automated now, but I've got my doubts. I believe that piperBot has a drinking problem. I cite two examples of egregious error in processing. Is this endemic? For the record, I was not looking for those topics, but they did, ahh, catch my eye. Why is there no search option? That would be useful, especially if it worked more along the line of google search, and less along the line of ubb.search. :confused: -------------------- quote: Posts: 4114 | Registered: Monday, April 25 2005 07:00 |

If I remember correctly, the Endeavor updates according to a person's recent posting habits. Someone who posts a lot, like Myself, Salmon, and Dikiyoba will get updated quite frequently. Someone who posts only rarely will get updated on a far slower rate. Besides, XxX is a very new newbie. His posting habits haven't quite been established yet. -------------------- I tried to think of something witty to put here. Needless to say, I failed.

Gosh, that Endeavour programme sounds dangerously close to intelligence. <shudders> (Has anyone else read The Algebraist?) In that case, as I post on average 30 per month, I suppose I should get updated once a day... -------------------- "I can't read this thread with that image.
