Thank you both for extra input I was unable to provide. Alas, it seems Blaxx has not been about lately. :/

On other news, sadly, the backlog has taken another slow turn for the worst. At best, to my knowledge, we were about 4 days, 22 hours behind. Now the distance has crept back up to almost 9 days.

There isn't that much left of April, but there are still multiple large files to go through, a few from me, about a dozen from Padanfain and most certainly more from others. It's starting to look like April will not be finishing until tomorrow my local time at earliest. Well, at least there have not been excessively many failures. I show two on April 25th, other than those, past few days have gone by ok.

Here's to hopefully better days,

Lowest census result I've seen

Right after finishing that one I went over to Gul'dan Horde and got 55 characters, so they're better off, but that also means horrible faction imbalance. I'm not the biggest fan of CRZ, but I have to say that now I have a little better understanding of why Blizzard felt they had to do it.

9M updates

*chuckle* And the point was that you would have to press that for 11+ months, not just one.

Some things are, however, already certain or nearly so:

Djambo will push the minimum needed into new ones top 10 over 500k... because he is only 18 (eighteen) short and four unprocessed files remain at the moment. Padanfain will most likely bypass xpolockx before the month is over and take place 8. Bringoutyourdead is close to catching Postponer and exceeding 800k, but at current speed that will be next month, not this one.

On the updates top 10 the gaps are mostly so big that changes are long time in coming. However, considering how much Padanfain has been doing... Hybuir might lose that 10th place in a couple of months. And if things continue roughly as they look now, Bringoutyourdead will rise from 9th to possibly as high as 6th before Christmas.

I have an i7-870k CPU(4 core + HT) and motherboard(full size ATX) that I'd gladly donate to this site if it would help. I don't have any RAM(uses DDR3) but RAM is so cheap it would require much $$$ to get it working. The system has worked great for me, but I'm onto much bigger and better things.

So Rollie.. if you are out there and you want my hardware let me know.

Only that Rollie didn't know it was down, I think. I mailed him at the end of the weekend and got a reply that he's travelling for work and would reboot the server when he had a chance - which has clearly happened now!

Any one want to guess when we hit the magic number?

Database Down?

And people like bringoutyourdead and myself, who give our time for free to help out with this site and project, have been doing exactly that: attempting to keep people informed via the thread in the news and announcements section of the forum (which it seems many choose not to read and then bitch at us for not keeping them informed, sigh) and to pass on what info we can get from Rollie. If we're not "courteous" enough for you, I apologise, but we're doing what we can....

(Yes, the above is a bit snippy, but I'm having a bad day and have seen far too many threads like this one already so I'm just going to say what I think )

@gutko - I said this before earlier in the thread:

You can only upload once every 15 mins, otherwise it gives an error message. Even if your previous upload was not successful. (The error message doesn't look like it's because you can't upload more than once every 15 minutes, it LOOKS like it's some sort of coding error on line 3, but it's really the 15 minute thing that causes this error message.)

New minor update for CensusPlus will go out next week

The Gift of Giving!

Hey Everyone,

For years now, Warcraft Realms and the whole CensusPlus community has come together to give during the holiday season. We encourage everyone to reflect on their years and share their blessings by giving to those in need. If anyone needs a recommendation I would suggest Child's Play (www.childsplaycharity.org).

childsplaycharity.org wrote:

Child�s Play works in two ways. With the help of hospital staff, we set up gift wish lists full of video games, toys, books, and other fun stuff for kids. By clicking on a hospital location on our map, you can view that hospital�s wish list and send a gift.

Child�s Play also receives cash donations throughout the year. With those cash donations, we purchase new consoles, peripherals, games, and more for hospitals and therapy facilities. These donations allow for children to enjoy age-appropriate entertainment, interact with their peers, friends, and family, and can provide vital distraction from an otherwise generally unpleasant experience.

Thanks for a wonderful year!

Fett, I have only taken a look at about a dozen more characters who shown the "doubling" so my sample is still too small... but so far, all the cases I have seen are either very new... or in characters that were played during early March - June, 2007. Very many of the old characters also show signs of the player taking very long breaks and spending a significant amount of time on specific level(s). With such limited "study" all this could be a coincidence... or a pattern.

Amberlyssa, also of the Old Guard is one such example:

The part that troubles me is that the new characters affected don't share anything obvious in common, except being new. And it isn't anything systematic, because it doesn't affect all characters.
