Spudinski

I'm really bored, and this forum isn't really useful for anything other than trollin'(read: yo). Some of the old forumites will remember this, a time much better than now, when this forum was set as your homepage and the mass of your bookmarks were these posts. Oh, how I miss the good old times. We've met some great people here, and now, they're all gone. This forum was one of my safe havens, a place where I could actually get useful information from knowledgeable people. Today that vision has long faded, and replaced with sights of ignorance and stupidity. Do you guys still remember those days when mdshare ran the place and the -then- irreplaceable people such as Scarlet, seanybob, and all the others(I could name many). What would MWG be like if MCCodes didn't come and **** it up, oh, I can't forgive you for that, mdshare - I admit I had my share of conflicts with you, but it's like they say: "You never really know what you've got until it's gone". P.S. Goodbye everyone.

You're welcome.

I would class Wordpress as being procedural, how would you class that as OO? If I want my statements correcting i'll ask otherwise I don't care. You have but a vague understanding of software design.

Wordpress isn't procedural. And to correct your statement: "I use both, when working with Wordpress I program procedurally. A general rule I use is: if the product you are working with is written as OO then use OOP, or else recode that ****.

Re: Sick and Tired of substandard Support This is my reply to the thread "Sick and Tired of substandard Support". "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't let you do that". Since this is still a community board, I suggest that moderators do not close threads as if they were tickets. Now for my actual reply.   By law(does not matter where), MCCodes should give out an invoice when their product is purchased. Now comes a favor for me: Would anyone be so kind as to post their invoice on these boards? The reason herefor is: 1) That they actually give invoices, 2) Their "trading name" as I've always been skeptical how they do business, 3) Debunk a possible myth that they are doing fraudulent business. If someone has an invoice but doesn't want perticulars posted on here, then feel free to PM me directly or blank the details out in Paint/Photoshop(except their details).

Why would you sell something that makes you 58USD per day?

*sniff*...

And "JunixDev.com" would be?

1. Procedural is easier. 2. MVC is actually a GUI pattern.

Isn't it illegal to operate a pr0n website in Texas?

I suggest you pay extra for his losses as well.

Well excuse me, Mr. DeverZ :P

http://www.last.fm/user/spudinski - 'Nuff said.

...and you're hitting max connections, how?

Run the following query and post output: SHOW PROCESSLIST[code] It should look something like this: [code] +----------+----------+-----------+-----------------+---------+-------+-------+------------------+ | Id | User | Host | db | Command | Time | State | Info | +----------+----------+-----------+-----------------+---------+-------+-------+------------------+ | 14633899 | x| localhost | x| Sleep | 1 | | NULL | | 16440330 | x| localhost | x| Sleep | 9868 | | NULL | *snip*

This is party a code issue, 700+ connections per 15/m is insane for the activity you've specified. Make sure you are closing the connections after usage, persistent connections are a bad idea with MySQL and PHP. Persistent connections are only advantageous when it's resource intensive to create one to the DMBS(MySQL here). But you're probably on a localhost DB so drop that. You see, when you create a persistent connection to the database server, you're basically telling *PHP* to "keep this connection open until I close it/or times out". In theory you're creating more connections than you actually need to query the database.

As soon as you/"the user" customizes anything, that part is detached from the tree. A game running on a SaaS architecture will likely not succeed. If you want to manage their games(server-wise), rather begin a hosting company.

As said by pretty much everyone here, it's not [only] the quality that needs to improve, it's the substance. Most people here aren't interested in the same things experienced members are. Examples can be seen across almost every section of the forum, things like discussing low-level PHP or C# have no attractiveness for anyone else. This is the reason many others left. Once they've started being good at anything, this forum doesn't have anything to stimulate them anymore. You can really thank MCCodes for that, since they did it all on their own.

It seems that with the huge abundance of new technologies, they forgot simple things like SMS.

Easy calculation for price... I value this design at 15USD for mass reselling, minus the fact that it's just a PSD layer, substract half(if layered properly). That gives us 7.5USD. Multiply it by potential customers on here, let's be optimistic, five, and you have your exclusive price: 37.50USD. The math: p = base product value, 7.5. n = number of people who would actually buy this, possibly. x = n(x) ~ = 37.50 USD

See: Pretty Design Isn’t Always Effective Design As is here, IMO.

Let's see if anyone can figure out how to do this in a SQL-only way...

I get all of my contractor work from contacts... I also do work for a guy who has his own business, but works on a contractor-only staffing model.

Theres a couple of modules that enable forum-like functionality here: http://www.ezrpgproject.net/Forum-Communication I can't vouch for their compatibility with current ezRPG, but it's worth giving it a go.   That would be in conflict with the MVC-varient architecture ezRPG has. But if you have an suggestions on how to improve it, feel free to share.
