Honest question:

Given ioi(Brett) complete and total lack of interest, to the point that he makes managing this site a herculean task(and making him look like a horrible boss), why dosent he simply sell the site?Lets say that he makes 1k every month with ads.Isnt it more simple to sell it for 20k to someone?

The only downside of this is that the site can be sold to an even worse manager, and this would simply go up in flames.But assuming Brett has even the slight sense of pride, he could curate the potential buyers.

Oh well, this will keep being a pipe dream at any rate.

Would this site even be worth 20k? legitimately curious cause while i've been a member on this site for over 3 years now I have no idea how big it actually is

I might be out of touch but there is delay that wasnt here in may 2010 or years before

I agree, but at the same time, part of the reason for that was just how the data was extrapolated and the time period. I imagine that it is much harder to track this stuff now, especially in EU regions. 

I said it before if its about the accuracy vs speed debate i can understand waiting with charts but i dont really see that being the case since still a shitload gets adjusted.

I put more value in the old system of 2 week delay and adjustments later.

Then the current system of atleast a one month delay and still adjustments later.

 

Old system also would make it look like less is based on stuff from other tracking sources

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

Given how many users here use adblock, probably not.But even then, we do have a number of lurkers, and its not like the articles get 0 views.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Talon's working overtime to get the stuff under the hood back up and running so that I can get to work on the SW charts again.

Just have to be patient. It sucks, but it's better than the alternative. As soon as I'm given the all clear I will make a concerted effort to catch up.

How much of it, aside the big problems, is due to the speed vs accuracy debate

And stuff under the hood care to clarify?

You may not be a pansy but you do seem to be incredibly out of touch. ioi hasn't done a chart in years. His last two posts are two years apart, one voting for TalonMan yesterday and the other saying goodbye to Smeags in January 2016, it's obvious rattling his cage won't accomplish much.

I might be out of touch but there is delay that wasnt here in may 2010 or years before

Yep, just a few months back.

What is the ETA for the fix?

Just a rough estimate would be good enough.
